Another member of the inside establishment who knew too much, just like the guy they found in the dumpster.

Well the really weird thing is this happened the same day that Duke Energy announced the buyout of Progress, in essence, creating the largest utility in the US and a near monopoly on the southeastern USA. Don't know any details on her death, but suspicious in the very least.

Suspicious? Ray Charles could see THAT. $100 says the investigator will determine it was "suicide". And maybe they will find a friend or two to say she was "depressed" and seemed "distant". So, she sat in her car while she burned to death. Oh yeah, DRUGS will surely be found.
