Mom says murdered daughter was lured into porn

PORTLAND, Ore. – The mother of an 18-year-old found dead in a Portland apartment this week claims the man accused in her murder lured the girl into a life of pornography.

Emily Egan was found dead Tuesday in the downtown apartment of 37-year-old Paul Eugene Frizzelle, who is charged with her murder.

Egan's mother, Terry, said Wednesday that her daughter was on medication for bipolar disorder when she first met Frizzelle, and he offered her a modeling job.

She claims Frizzelle substituted hard drugs for Emily's medication and then substituted porn for the modeling.

"He started giving her meth," Terry Egan said. "And had pot. And she had Adderall. And she had Ritalin. The exact opposite type of medication that you would give someone bipolar."
Terry Egan said she was literally hours from picking up her daughter and finally taking her out of that life when she heard late Tuesday that her daughter had been murdered.

"I was supposed to pick her up (Wednesday) morning," she said. "She was coming home. She was done ... She had been exploited to the point where she was ready to come home."

Officers went to Frizzelle's second-floor apartment, 207, in the Empire Apartments in the 1200 block of Southwest 11th Avenue Tuesday after receiving out-of-state calls from Frizzelle's worried relatives. They found Egan dead inside along with a bloody Frizzelle, whom police said made a suicide attempt.

The medical examiner's autopsy released late Wednesday only says Emily Egan died from 'homicidal violence' without giving specifics.
Frizzelle appeared in court Wednesday wearing a blue suicide smock and with his wrists bandaged from the suicide attempt. He remained jailed on suicide watch, charged with murder under Measure 11's harsher penalties because prosecutors said this was a case of domestic violence.

Frizzelle's MySpace account links to a pornography production Web site that lists Frizzelle as the site's contact. Police aren't sure yet if that played a role Egan's murder.

"This idea of pornography, it's coming up, it's kind of leaking around, and we're just trying to get to the bottom of why this young lady was killed," said Sgt. Brian Schmautz, a police spokesman.

This is the best he could find? No wonder he tried to kill himself.

Er...coincidentally, his MySpace page has lots of familiar faces. I'm surprised he hadn't sent a friend request to me.

Is this the whore?

I think this may be the ex-whore's myspace

Looks like her, Zen, after lots and lots of

I want to get stupid, disturbed young whores like him. I look a lot better then him too.

Jim, make sure to place blame on the whole of the porn industry for this murder like you do with religion when a pastor gets caught with a hooker. Thanks.

Actually King, I blame the Mother. If she'd have done her job and raised her daughter to be a good, monogamous anal slut, this would never have happened.



And who does that look kinda like in the picture on the table? Seems familiar. Oh well, it's Portland.

I'm waiting to hear what Moxxie knows about this guy. He took a photo of her in '05 that's on page one of that MySpace photo album.

I feel bad about my previous post.

Dear girls,

Your first tip off that your photographer/producer/promiser of dreams may be a charlatan is the basic level of graphics skills.

This is a terrible tragedy and my best wishes go out to her mother and father/uncle during this difficult time. Does anyone have any nudes? I'm sure in her own way she was a very sweet and special person full of bright ideas and filled with passion for all that life offers. Did she do anal? One can only hope that she has been delivered to a better place where she can finally find peace and quiet. Please list all dvd titles. The moral of this story is, everyone remember life is short, sweet and should be appreciated everyday because you never know when your suitcase pimp will extinguish it.

That mother should have said: SHITTY PORN KILLED MY BABY.

That guy was only 37?!? WTF...that's the best "Faces of Meth" PSA I can think of.

Its a sad story all around for sure.

"Portland man sentenced for strangling woman

Terry Egan faced the man who strangled her daughter and told him Friday that he destroyed all the dreams she had for her teenager.

"I know you're not a parent, but a very common thing parents do is look at their newborns and say a prayer: 'Please, God, don't let pain and suffering touch their lives.'"

Paul Eugene Frizzelle, 38, was sentenced to 20 years in prison at the hearing in Multnomah County Circuit Court. Moments earlier, Frizzelle -- a pornographic Web site operator -- pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for the Aug. 28, 2007, death of his girlfriend, Emily Egan.

The 18-year-old Egan, described by her mother as a sweet but "naive girl" who had bipolar disorder, apparently met Frizzelle after responding to an ad that he had posted for models. Frizzelle started photographing Egan in dresses, then topless and eventually completely nude. Terry Egan said Frizzelle successfully lured her daughter into a world of marijuana use and porn under the guise that it was alternative and cool.

When the girl moved into Frizzelle's downtown Portland apartment in May 2007, Terry Egan tried everything she could to get her daughter to move out, but at the same time didn't want to alienate the girl, she said.

"She knew I was afraid, I hated you and I wanted you off the face of this Earth," Terry Egan told Frizzelle, tears filling her eyes.

But Emily Egan always saw the best in people, her mom said.

Terry Egan was finally getting through to her daughter when she attended one of the girl's therapy sessions on Aug. 27, and Emily said she'd planned to tell Frizzelle that night that she was moving out the next day.

But the 18-year-old never got the chance. Frizzelle strangled Egan early the next morning.

Portland police were alerted to the crime after Frizzelle started e-mailing and calling half a dozen out-of-town friends on the morning of Aug. 28, saying he had done something horrendous. A few called 9-1-1 dispatchers in the metro area, but they weren't sure of Frizzelle's address.

Shortly before 3 p.m. when police tracked down the right address, an apartment building at Southwest 11th Avenue and Jefferson Street, they discovered the unit covered in blood from cuts Frizzelle had carved into his forearms. Egan's cold body lay on the bed.

Terry Egan said the initial weeks and months after her daughter's killing were even more difficult because some people judged her. "They say, 'Oh, she's not a good mom,'" she said.

Terry Egan, however, knows she did everything she could -- without pushing her daughter away.

Sensing that Frizzelle's mother, too, must feel as if she were being judged, Terry Egan began searching for her by calling people with the same last name. She finally reached a relative and asked her to pass on a message.

"I needed to tell her it was not her fault," Terry Egan said. "... Children grow up and have free will."

Frizzelle didn't apologize when given an opportunity to speak at the hearing, but he said "there's nothing I can do or say that would bring her back."

Terry Egan thanked prosecutor Traci Anderson and lead Detective Mark Slater. She also reminded people what she, Emily's 12-year-old brother and so many others lost.

"I miss her voice," Terry Egan said. "I miss hugging her. I miss the smell of her hair. ... I miss her freckles.""

Manslaughter for strangling someone? What kinda pussy state tries someone for manslaughter for murdering someone?

Plea bargain.

Next case.

Certainly, 20 years (chopped in half for good behavior) seems minimal, but of course, all court systems and prisons are overwhelmed with unfunded mandates...

...because the voters want maximum punishment and minimal taxes...
