TOO LATE ON THAT CALL — by Steve Nadis
A story in today’s paper,”Prosecutor says dominatrix’s call to 911 too late,” is the topic of this conversation. (I call it a “conversation,” rather than essay, article, etc., because of the interactive nature of the blogging medium. I’m not writing this; we all are.) According to the AP news story, “a prosecutor said yesterday that a dominatrix waited too long to call for help as a client died of a heart attack during a bondage session.” The incident took place in Quincy, Massachusetts, where some of my closest relatives hail from.
I bring up this story only because I’m confused by what the prosecutor, Robert Nelson, meant by her (the dominatrix, that is) being “late” on that call for help. Was she supposed to call 911 before or after dismembering her deceased client with a hacksaw and dividing the remains into 8 trash bags which were later dumped behind a restaurant in Augusta, Maine? Sorry for all the gory details, but I’m still not sure what Nelson meant by “late.” If I have any appointments with him, I’ll definitely make a point of being punctual.

Now I’m worried. Because I almost wrote a blog entry on this same topic. Dominatrix versus the Dirt Devil Electric Broom…….hmmm….I guess the point isn’t the dominatrix…..it’s being late to call 911. I think she dismembered his body AFTER he died to preserve her clientele. It wouldn’t be good for the dominatrix business to be killing your clients with heart attacks. I guess it’s better to dismember them instead.
Actually, for clients of a dominatrix, knowledge that she is willing to use hacksaws and Hefty bags might actually be good for business.
Alert Anne Rice (aka Anne Rampling).
I smell a book deal.

Hi Windfall — I sure hope she dismembered him AFTER he died. By the way, when they say she dismembered him, does that mean he’s no longer a member of the dominatrix club? Doctor Max, I love the way your mind works. Hi Amber, forget Anne Rice. This is going to be my ticket to Oprah’s book club.
Was this woman blonde? How dumb is it to go to all the trouble of dismembering a corpse, dividing it neatly into 8 different trash bags and then disposing of them all in the same place? Wouldn’t 8 different places make more sense? I hope she wasn’t angling to get on "Law & Order". Their criminals are usually a whole lot smarter than that.
Maybe the nuns were right after all: Kinky sex will kill you (and it obviously doesn’t make you any smarter)!
Snake, this was a great entry. Love the comments. I’m still giggling over FW’s comment about the nuns.

OldRoses–I believe she put the body parts in 8 bags because they were too heavy to carry in one, not because she intended to hide them in 8 different places.
But the real proof that this person wasn’t too bright was the fact that she thought a dead client would be bad for business. I mean, come on–if you had a choice between "doctor assisted suicide" and "dominatrix assisted suicide", which would you choose? I can see her business card now: "Madame LeSade - When you absolutely, positively want to go out with a bang."
Thanks for all the trenchant observations folks. I agree with Windfall on this–great comments one and all.
Not to beat a dead horse, but in case you didn’t see it, the Boston Metro had an update on this story today:
“The state rested its case yesterday against a Quincy dominatrix accusued of manslaughter in the death of a 275-pound New Hampshire man who allegedly died of a heart attack during a bondage session.”
But the defense wants the case dismissed because there’s no evidence. The defense laywer says there’s not even proof the man is actually dead.
Hey Whitey — Thanks for the update. What a strange case…
