DC Madam & Marriott

An interesting Utah phone number showed up on the newly released phone logs of the so-called DC Madam, who is alleged to have run a high-end prostitute ring in the Washington, D.C., area.

No, it wasn't to or from the personal cell phone of any of Utah's congressmen or senators. The mysterious number was that of a Salt Lake City-based customer-support line of the Marriott hotel chain "rewards" program. There were five separate calls from December 1999 through June 2000, including one 12-minute call, according to logs of the calls, which were discovered thanks to the help of the Web site, Dcphonelist.com.

Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who says she ran only a legal sex-fantasy operation, was indicted earlier this year and accused of running a $300-an-hour prostitute ring. She released her phone records hoping to spook some former "fantasy" clients into testifying that they never paid for sex.

So far, the deputy secretary of state has resigned after reporters started scouring the phone records, and Sen. David Vitter, R-La., is under fire for admitting a past "sin."

In Marriott's case, no, it wasn't some employee calling or any special reward offered to return customers.
"The Marriott calls most likely are personal ones," Palfrey told me this week.
