Indirectly related, but the incidence of a prostitute killing her client reminds me of the movie I heard about, Monster, which is supposed to have just come out in the States (Im in Europe right now, so not "hip" to the film scene over there!) starring Charlize Theron based on a real highway prostitute, Aileen something or other who killed 6 or 7 men and robbed them.  She also came from a bad childhood, although you would hope that people would have the strength to overcome an unfortunate past and not have it lead them directly in the arms of someone of the same ilk as her shifty parents...namely, this girl's pimp.  I feel really bad for all involved, yet I'm sure there are plenty of women (provider or not) who have been at the hands of sexual abuse at a young age who would not find themselves in such a dangerous relationship.  I am sure she was brainwashed and manipulated beyond belief and for that my heart goes out to her, but I believe she is serving a just sentence.

...not to make light of this, but I bet she didn't have any reviews.

NOBODY deserves to be murdered for ANY reason, but going to a "provider" who works for a pimp sounds like they were picking girls up at a streetcorner.

At least go to an agency where you are hopefully more likely to be safe, and you will usually have more fun when you use the "high-priced spread".  You get what you pay for, or you pay for what you get, and sometimes it is not cureable.

Back in 1996 there was one girl from Atlanta who disappeared without a trace, all they found was her car sitting on the side of the interstate, and there has been no news about her since that I know of.

This hobby can be fun, but it can also be very dangerous, for BOTH client and provider.  Too bad that BOTH sides don't seem to realize how useful TER can be, and the provider who do, and work to keep good reviews, will do okay in what seems to be like a little sort of "family".
