Last night Pat and I were about to shut off the TV and, to our surprise, a picture of the Cincinnati skyline popped up--on national British TV no less. The show was named "Women Who Kill." It went downhill from there... fast.
Pat and I sat in shock as they showed pictures of drug deals in Over the Rhine and told the story of a gold-digging stripper who shot her sugardaddy (their words) in 1998. She and her friends, referred to as the "3 stooges" (complete with video clips of the old black-and-white shows) went on to steal her sugardaddy's Mr. T gold jewelry, pot (he was a drug dealer), and an insane number of guns he kept in his trailer. Yes, all that drug money and he lived in a glamorous trailer.
They went to a Red Roof Inn to live it up and then decided to go to a night club in Kentucky. On the way, they were stopped for a traffic infraction by the Blue Ash police who cleverly unraveled the whole thing. The stripper's now doing life, but claims it was self-defense. Yada, yada, yada.
To top it all off, they interviewed the stripper's druggie ex-husband to get some insight into her soul and paraded her poor 3 abandoned kids on TV.
Oh the embarrassment.
I can't say I remember this case at all, but something made it worthy enough for an international audience. Perhaps it was the stupidity of it all.
Proud to be a Cincinnatian...
