What about Mary Mahoney White House Intern MURDERED 7/97
Mahoney was also Alexis Herman's aide, who is under fire for fraud and abuse.
An attractive 25 year old woman, Mary was a former White House Intern for Bill Clinton working as the Assistant Manager at a Starbuck's Coffee shop in Georgetown. In the pre-trial publicity surrounding Paula Jones lawsuit, and mere days after Newsweek's Mike Isikoff had dropped hints that a "former White House staffer" was about to go public with her story of sexual harassement at 1600 Pennsylvania, gunmen entered the Starbuck's while the crew was cleaning up after closing. Mary's two associates were taken to a room and shot. Mary herself had five bullets in her. No money was taken. As of this writing, Mike Isikoff's "former White House staffer" has never appeared.
DC TOP STORY 7/7/97 The three employees found shot to death at a Georgetown Starbucks have been identified. A co-worker found the bodies of 18-year-old Aaron Goodrich, 24-year-old Mary Mahoney, and 25-year-old Emory Evans locked in the Northwest store, Monday morning. Police say the victims died from repeated gunshot wounds-- apparently inflicted the night before. However, the bodies were not discovered at the shop-- located in the 1800 block of Wisconsin Avenue-- until early dawn, Monday. Authorities say the woman who opened the Starbucks immediately ran across Wisconsin Avenue and flagged down a Metro bus, screaming, "They've been shot. They've been shot." Investigators closed Wisconsin Avenue for several hours-- halting District commuters at the height of the morning rush hour. The road was reopened shortly before noon. Oddly, no money was missing from the store, and police have not announced any motive or suspect in the case. Stay tuned to NEWSCHANNEL 8's Washington Report at 6pm for more details as they become available.

D.C. Police Delayed Seizing Possible Starbucks Evidence http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/digest/daily/dec/06/police.htm
* Caity Mahoney Mary Caitrin "Caity" Mahoney, 24, a founder of the Baltimore Lesbian Avengers, died Sunday, July 6, 1997, at the Starbucks coffee shop on 1810 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, in Georgetown.
Mahoney, who was the night manager at Starbucks, and two other Starbucks employees died of gunshot wounds sometime after the shop closed at 8 p.m., according to D.C. police detective Tony Patterson. Patterson said police still have no suspect in the case. The bodies of Mahoney and her co-workers were discovered early Monday morning, July 7, by an employee who was to open the store.
Mahoney was one of a core group of six women who founded the Baltimore Lesbian Avengers, a political activist group, in February 1995, according to her best friend, Mary Hall of Baltimore, Md.
"She was very passionate about everything she did, and she did everything the best she could," Hall said.
The Lesbian Avengers have a tradition of eating fire as a stunt at their actions. Hall said that once the Avengers were having a picnic at the house where she lived with Mahoney when they decided to do fire-eating for fun. Hall said Mahoney wanted to impress her girlfriend.
"She decided to show off and do two torches at once and she ended up burning her lips," Hall said.
"But she was a Leo," Hall said. "She was in her element when she ate fire."
Mahoney's activism spanned many arenas, including founding a women's issues discussion group at Towson State University in 1993; sitting as a board member of the 31st Street Bookstore in Baltimore, a Lesbian/feminist cooperative; and working on Bill Clinton's presidential campaign as well as interning for the Clinton White House when he was newly elected.
In 1994, Mahoney and others raised more than $1,000 for Baltimore's Pride festival while participating in a musical spoof of The Sound of Music known as The Camp of Music. In the musical, Mahoney played Gretel -- the youngest of the "VonCamp" children.
"Her passion was contagious, she was just amazing," Hall said.
Mahoney was born July 22, 1972, in Baltimore. From the sixth grade on, she attended the McDonogh School near Pikesville, Md., where she graduated in 1991. She did a year of studies at Ithaca College in New York state, a semester at Fordham University in New York City, and then two years at Towson State University in Maryland, where she received a bachelor's degree in women's studies in the spring of 1995.
While studying at Towson, Mahoney worked as a shift supervisor at Cafe Diana, a Baltimore Lesbian/feminist coffee house from September 1993 to June 1995. During the summer of 1995, she worked as a cook at the City Cafe, a Gay-owned coffee house in Baltimore.
In September 1995, Mahoney moved to Washington, D.C., and took a job with Starbucks.
Mahoney's hobbies and interests included her cat, Marlu; Lesbian and women's rights; politics; and jogging.
"She was a wonderful person and lots of people miss her," Hall said. "She was such a sweet, kind, and generous person."
In addition to Hall, Mahoney is survived by her mother and stepfather, Mary Belle Annenberg and Barnet Annenberg, both of Baltimore; father and stepmother, Patrick Mahoney Sr. and Ginny Mahoney, both of Towson; sister, Molly Mahoney of Baltimore; brother and sister-in-law, Patrick and Lelah Mahoney of Baltimore; three stepsisters, Stacy Wenzl, Missy Gray, and Toni Hamilton, all of Baltimore; grandmother, Elizabeth H. Mahoney of Annapolis, Md.; and grandmother, Maria W. Simms of Ardmore, Pa.
She is also survived by several friends, including Beth Kuhns, Sally Franklin, Amanda Joyce, and Dawn Heddrick, all of Baltimore; as well as a number of friends she worked with at Starbucks.
Her remains were cremated. Memorial services were at the McDonogh School on July 18 and at Georgetown University on July 15.
"A Celebration of Caity's Life" will be Saturday, July 19, at 1 p.m. at the Metropolitan Community Church of Baltimore, 3401 Old York Rd., Baltimore, Md.
The Baltimore Lesbian Avengers will hold a Caity Mahoney Memorial/Anti-Violence Vigil in front of the Starbucks coffee shop Tuesday, July 22 -- Mahoney's 25th birthday -- at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Memorial contributions may be sent to the Caity Mahoney Memorial Fund at the McDonogh School, Box 380, 8600 McDonogh Rd., Owings Mills, MD 21117.

Clinton-related Deaths/Injuries
A large number of people have died in operations or investigations closely linked with Bill Clinton. The term "Arkanacide" has even been coined to define a murder which has been, disguised as a suicide. Arkansas is one of the only states in the Union in which no autopsy is required in a death which has been ruled a suicide, even if foul play is suspected. This law was one of the last enacted by Governor Clinton before coming to
Washington.
Who are the people who have died under suspicious circumstances who were close to Bill Clinton?
[It is important to note in the following list, that many of the dead had direct connections to Bill Clinton. Others were tied to Clinton via the Mena drug-running operation, which has been rather conclusively linked to the Clinton administration. There is no suggestion that all of these people were killed with direct "orders" from Bill Clinton, although, in
some cases, this is not ruled out, either. As the sheer number of dead rises, one should ask himself/herself, "How many people do I know, or am I connected with who have been brutally murdered, died in an airplane crash, or have committed suicide?" Either friends of Bill Clinton are incredibly unlucky, they are horrible pilots, or something more sinister is at work.]
1. James Bunch-
????? - Suicide similar to Vince Foster. Texan w/"black book" of influential Texans & Arkansans who visited prostitutes.
2. Stanley Huggins-

He received a light sentence to a halfway house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he was gunned down a few days later.

The state coroner, a FOB, declared their deaths accidental, and that the boys had been smoking marijuana and "fell asleep on the tracks".

He had a tape of Clinton entering and exiting Flowers' apartment with his own key on several occasions.
