The title of this post is what my mind got out of this title:
A respected psychiatrist paid a Playboy model’s rent. Then he turned up dead in the desert.
If you read the article, it isn't so cut and dried. The headline is emphasizing the lurid, but it isn't actually 100 percent clear if this is a sex scandal. The psychiatrist had a history of helping people with sob stories. The details in the story actually make me skeptical of the insinuation that this was a sexual relationship.
The details given in the article don't actually sound to me like Kelsey Turner was a "kept woman" and Thomas Burchard was the man keeping her. I think the story that he was just a generous guy who helped out a lot of people is plausible.
He paid her rent for some time for a house that provided shelter for her, her two children and her mother. The house was apparently about twenty miles from where he lived, a little inconvenient for dropping by for sex regularly without his girlfriend noticing. Turner was apparently in an abusive relationship with some other man.
It's actually an intriguing and well-written article about a murder mystery that isn't yet fully solved. They don't believe Turner could have killed him and disposed of his body all alone. If she killed him, she probably had an accomplice. So far, she is the only one being charged.
Because it is interesting, well written and involves the internet, I submitted it to Hacker News with the title A murder mystery in the Nevada desert. The start of this tale: The internet.
However the actual title is so clickbait, I don't particularly expect it to do well. Plus, the framing is a bit more on the lurid side than on the "just the facts" side. This may get it flagged to death on Hacker News.
