Mel the sw on southside dead
As I have read in past reports many of the mongerers have talked about Mel. She is the SW with the white coat, short dark hair with a blond streak in it usually walking on grand in the southside. I read in the newspaper today she died. She was struck by a jeep on highway 55 Thursday night heading back to cape girardieau where she was from. Thats a shame. R. I. P.
Melina killed in accident?
Wow, if so, that is wild. Sorry to hear it. Is there a news clip in STLtoday.com?
Posted a review of her about two weeks back. Initially, the site didn't grab the review and I'm not sure if it went through.
I didn't have a great experience with her that night, but the details I can recall are here; if others can add, please do.
She said she was 31. Was from the southern part of Missouri, but had a kid in the hospital for cancer treatment in Memphis. (St. Jude's? ) Lived near the Wedge bar on a side street, cut off by the highway. Unfortunately, she had roommates/visitors, which spooked me to no end when visiting with her. And when breaking one of the 22 laws of mongering, which I usually follow to the letter.
She seemed to be on a drug buy when I dropped her off and had a worrisome tone; indicated that she'd been run-in for SW work before and had a shrill "don't roll that stop! " vibe when in the car.
Damn. While I'm sorry to hear this on a couple levels. Inc. A girl with cancer being without a mom; assuming that that's all true. I was so weirded out by that visit that I took some weeks off since then. Just checked in tonight to catch up.
RIP, "Girl in the White Coat"

SlickT, thanks very much for letting everyone know. I never met Melena, but it's a sad, sad story.
Observer314, thanks for your very good question. The Highway Patrol said Broglin may have been trying to cross the highway, near Meramec Bottom Road, because of a problem with her car.
From the Post-Dispatch (very sad):
[u]Woman killed on I-55 was from Cape Girardeau[/u]
A woman struck and killed along Interstate 55 in south St. Louis County about 9:20 PM Thursday was identified by the Missouri Highway Patrol as Melena Broglin, 31, of Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Broglin apparently ran into the path of a northbound Jeep. Its driver, a 47-year-old man from Green Park, could not avoid hitting her, police said. She died at the scene.
The Highway Patrol said Broglin may have been trying to cross the highway, near Meramec Bottom Road, because of a problem with her car. The investigation closed the road for about 2 hours.
