3. Was she an intern?
I thought she was an office worker. Anyway, a twentysomething woman was found dead in Scarborough's Florida office with a blow to the head. They tried to say she had a heart attack or heart condition, fainted, and struck her head on the desk. This happened around the time Chandra Levy disappeared.

5. Her name was Lori Klausutis.
I have heard her described as both an office worker and an intern for Scarborough.

8. Some details
A young female employee of one of Florida's Congressmen had died unexpectedly in the Congressman's office. There were no witnesses to her death and the cause of death was not apparent. Klausutis' boss, Joe Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress prematurely and unexpectedly, amid rumors about his marital fidelity and soon after a divorce. He had also abruptly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun, claiming that resigning from Congress and as publisher was necessary to spend more time with his sons.
The results of the mandated autopsy, however, were deemed "inconclusive" by Dr. Michael Berkland
Dr. Michael Berkland, it turns out, has a very interesting background himself. Recently relocated to Florida, it is a matter of public record that Dr. Berkland's medical license in the state of Missouri was revoked in 1998 as a result of Berkland reporting false information regarding brain tissue samples in a 1996 autopsy report. Berkland does not deny the charges.

It's also a matter of public record that he was suspended from his position as Medical Examiner in the State of Florida in July, 1999

4. Someone died and in order to cover it all up he left and became
a talking head. If you want resources, look at the local papers... they are 10 times better reporting dirt that they really don't understand. I see it all the time in local papers.

9. It really makes one wonder why
this wasnt investigated and brought to the publics attention in the way that Levy's death was.
What about the family? Were they satisfied with the outcome? Were they silenced with either money or threats? Where is Nancy Grace when you need her.......or was this woman a brunette?:sarcasm: :sarcasm:
