More from Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Dickinson, naval officer who testified in Palfrey's trial. Here is how Ms. Dickinson found Pamela Martin and Associates:
According to a court transcript, Dickinson testified that she found an advertisement for Palfrey’s company, Pamela Martin and Associates, during an Internet search. She then placed a phone call that set in motion a series of events that would eventually derail a promising Navy career, one that saw Dickinson rise from seaman to instructor at the Naval Supply Corps School in Athens, Ga.
Dickinson has since been removed from that post, has received a punitive letter of reprimand and may face more administrative actions, according to a Navy spokesman.
The call she made based on the Internet ad was answered by a woman who identified herself as Julia; several witnesses testified that “Julia” was an alias of Palfrey’s.
After Dickinson asked for work, she said the woman asked her to send a copy of her driver’s license and a picture, and then alluded to what would be expected of her.
“She just described how an evening would take place, and she had asked me a question, something like, ‘You know you’re not going there just to chat. Right?’”
“Yes,” Dickinson said she responded, indicating that she knew more than conversation would be expected. Palfrey then made arrangements for Dickinson to meet a man at a home in a Maryland suburb of Washington.
Dickinson described the encounter.
And this part is interesting. She can't remember how many appointments she went on, yet she remembered having sex with clients at least 4 or five times:

And this part is interesting. She can't remember how many appointments she went on, yet she remembered having sex with clients at least 4 or five times:
She worked for Palfrey for about six months starting in October 2005 and visited an unknown number of men, having sex with customers all but “maybe four, five times.”
Dickinson testified that she did not remember how many “appointments” she went on, but phone records released by Palfrey show more than 200 calls between her office and a cell phone registered to a Rebecca Dickinson of Atlanta. Dickinson did two tours in nearby Athens before serving at the academy.
And this part raised a red flag for me:
The last time Palfrey said she heard from Dickinson was when Dickinson sent her an e-mail in October 2006, asking to be put back to work after she had resolved some personal issues that caused her to take time off.

“If you need some extra help, I would be glad to work for you again, as a backup or regularly. If you are interested, please just let me know, and if not, I understand,” the e-mail read.
By that time, Palfrey had learned that she was under investigation and her company had folded. Palfrey said she never responded to the e-mail.
“I needed the money. Yes, I did,” Dickinson said, when Palfrey’s defense lawyer, Preston Burton, asked her if she sent the e-mail.

Oct 4. 2006: Palfrey's home raided
Oct 9, 2006 Smoking gun posted Palfrey’s seizure warrant court documents by the IRS and US Postal Inspection Service . According to website, the headline was “Feds target escort service for money laundering, prostitution probe.” There were talks about possible connection to Jeane’s charges to Cunningham scandal.
October 10, 2006: Jeane’s assets were frozen.
Also, I wrote 15 articles on Ms. Palfrey's case. In my first article on Newsinkling.org in July 2007, I asked Ms. Palfrey in an email her encounter of the events that lead up to her assets being frozen and home being raid by the FBI. Here was part of the article:
From Newsinkling.org:
According to Ms. Palfrey, on October 3, 2006, U.S. Postal Inspector’s Joe Clark and Maria E. Couvillon attempted to gain access to her home under false pretenses posing as “couple being transferred from the D.C. area to San Francisco.” They tried to get her real estate agent to show them the property. Despite several pleas, they couldn’t gain access to the property since Ms. Palfrey’s agent didn’t have the key. Ms. Palfrey was in Germany closing escrow on her home.
On October 4, 2006, according to newspaper accounts, twelve agents stormed Ms. Palfrey’s home and stayed for some four hours using the ‘stale’ search warrant as justification. On that same day in Germany, Ms. Palfrey’s attempt to open an online Charles Schwab brokerage account was unsuccessful. That was the day in which the U.S. treasury froze her assets. On October 10, 2006, Ms. Palfrey returned back to the US to her assets being seized.

I guess this shows the Prosecutors plan didn't work. Yes SPB you are great with the time line and it tells the story. Now I always find it interesting how a person can remember word for word something that happen many years ago but can't remember what happen or what they said three days ago. Well at lease she got to rehearse her lines to make sure she said the right thing on the witness stand. Just think if the Feds hadn't acted so quickly maybe Ms. Palfrey would have answered that sit up email plan. Oh well the Prosecutor went with what they had ( nothing) in hopes the jurors wouldn't follow the law. Who knows maybe these jurors might get a visit for the Feds before the sentencing date just to make sure they do as the Prosecutor tells them. We have to remember this is Bush's Law as the US Justice System is gone.
