The Death of Adrienne Shelly: The Mystery Thickens

posted by on November 7 at 10:27 AM

Following last Friday’s announcement about the strange and sudden death of indie actress Adrienne Shelly, today brings a double-whammy update.

1. Shelly was reportedly found hanging from a shower rod in the apartment/office she was having renovated. “Police were hesitant to label the case a suicide, observing that no note was found and that sneaker prints that did not match Shelly’s shoes were recovered from the bathtub,” reports ABC News, leading to…

2. Yesterday’s arrest of Diego Pillco, a 19-year-old construction worker who was one of the last people to be seen entering the apartment/office before it became a crime scene.

UPDATE, 11:15 am: As Fnarf posts in comments, the news story (linked below) has been updated to include word of Pilco’s murder confession: “”He said he fought with the victim, tied a sheet around her neck and dragged her to the bathroom and hung her from the shower rod,” said Assistant District Attorney Marit Delozier. “This is an exceptionally egregious case.”

Full story so far here.

That story must have been updated, because it doesn't say "second-degree" anymore, it says "He said he fought with the victim, tied a sheet around her neck and dragged her to the bathroom and hung her from the shower rod." Her husband found her. They have a three-year-old.
