Managing Perception

Tod Hunter writes:

On Sept. 7 in Portland, Ore., Paul Eugene Frizelle, 37, was charged with the murder of 18-year-old model Emily Egan, whose body was found in his apartment.

The case has a number of familiar themes: a young runaway girl, an older man, intimations of drugs and sex, and an angry mother who claims in reports that her daughter was naive and sucked into a world of depravity and drugs.

The case also has a tie-in to the adult industry: Frizelle operated an adult website that often featured Egan.
