To: Bob who wrote (216240 ) 1/9/2002 4:58:29 PM From: Bob Respond to of 769670 And now some excepts from the March 3, 1998 issue of Star Magazine: Mahoney was gunned down, execution style for no apparent reason last summer at a Starbucks coffeehouse near the White House - a place where Monica, 24, and other Clinton interns frequently hung out. STAR has also learned that Monica and confidante Linda Tripp - who secretly taped Monica's claims of a White House affair with President Clinton - frequently talked about being in danger. "You don't think they're going to kill us?" Tripp said a number of times in recent months to another friend of hers. Then, just as the sex scandal was about to surface, Tripp was mysteriously invited by a close pal of Hillary Clinton's to a weekend getaway and fretted to a friend: "What if they poison me?" But it was the shocking slaying of the other former White House intern that has raised the most disturbing questions yet in the scandal. Mary Caitrin Mahoney, 25, campaigned full time for Bill Clinton in the 1992 race and then arrived in Washington in January of 1993 with a coveted summons to be one of the President's first interns. She later became assistant manager of a Starbucks coffeehouse in the posh Georgetown district - where she still had friends in high places and a thirst for the hottest political gossip. One day Chelsea was a customer - but she couldn't find enough change for her coffee. Caity Mahoney reached into her own pocket and treated her. Last July 7, Caity was in the cafe cleaning up after closing time with co-workers Emory Evans and Aaron Goodrich. Sometime after 9pm, two gunmen got inside and shot all three to death. Caity was singled out for the most horrendous fate - as if she'd been the killers' prime target. Of the ten shots fired, she was hit five times at point blank range, including at least once in the face. The final bullet was delivered to the back of her head after she'd already fallen. In one hand, in a death grip, Caity clutched the keys to the store's safe, which held the weekend's receipts of more than $10,000. D.C. cops were mystified by the apparent lack of motive in the crime. The safe hadn't been opened. The cash registers were undisturbed. The store hadn't been ransacked. None of the victims' personal belongings had been touched. "No one knows whether Monica ever confided in Caity about her relationship with the President," says an insider. "But they talked a lot. And now Caity is dead." What I want to know, Mr. President is this: Did you cry for Caity Mahoney? -30-
