Description

In the early 1990s, Sylvia Landry, a Madam operating in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was found hanging in her jail cell soon after being convicted and sentenced on federal prostitution charges. In the late 2000s, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, a Madam operating in Washington, DC, was found hanging in a shed behind her mother’s home after being convicted on charges related to her escort business but before she was sentenced. Both of these Madams died in eerily similar circumstances following their convictions. Join Arielle and Amanda as they discuss the possible similarities in the deaths of these two madams.
