The Life and Gruesome Death of Madalyn Murray O'Hair

[Madelon Umlauf]

Ya know, Packy, Madalyn lived so hard and so intensely
with boringly complicated family fighting plus being a
"public figure" that it wasn't totally surprising that she got
herself killed in so innovative a way. That she would have
convinced herself that amassing $50K in gold coins was
a smart thing to do in her exposed position suggests that
she was truly looney tunes.
