Report: Cho Hired an Escort Before Rampage

Source: ABC News

April 24, 2007 — Seung-Hui Cho hired her to dance for him in a motel room one month before the massacre at Virginia Tech's campus, dancer Chastity Frye said in an on camera interview with at TV station in Roanoke, Va.

"He was so quiet. I really couldn't get much from him. He was so distant. He really didn't like to talk a lot," Frye said in the interview. "It seemed like he wasn't all there."

Frye said that a "creepy" Cho, 23, called the escort service she works for and hired her to meet him for one hour at a Roanoke motel, about a 30-minute drive from Virginia Tech's Blacksburg campus.

About 15 minutes into the performance for Cho, Frye said, it appeared that her client had no interest.

"I danced for a little while and I thought we were done because he got up and went to the restroom and began washing," said Frye, a white woman with blond hair.

Frye told WSLS that she told Cho she was going to leave, to which he responded that he had paid for a full hour and she had only performed 15 minutes.

Wow, frightening story. She is very lucky.

get it on with the escort, she gave him the brush off*. Kinda strange.

On edit: *unless she's just saying that to protect her modesty/sanity.

in the same sentence my BS filters come up... Tends to be the way to bet.

I think "BS". Period!

So what does this have to do with his rampage? This little "date" happened a month before Cho went berserk and killed and wounded innocent people.

He hired a stripper, so what! Unless there was some connection with the crime he committed this is about as news worthy as Batboy tracking down Osama Bin Laden!!!!

In hindsight everyone is saying he was dropping clues left and right that he wasn't all there. His creative writing teachers (one of whom is Nikki Giovanni) tried to alert the powers that be that something was not quite right with him, but nobody was listening. It shouldn't go unnoticed that both are minority women--perhaps the "system" didn't take their pleas seriously.

The public wants to know why he did it. I guess it will help people sleep at night if they can figure out some reason or some person to blame, something that will make it seem less random.

He had to plan the killings. A few days before the killings, he (according to the reports I read) bought a gun. But it was his second gun, because you have to wait a month aftering buying one gun to purchase a second.

So if the little "date" happened exactly a month (or less)before the rampage, it was after he started to plan it. But if it happened right before he bought the first gun--maybe 5 weeks before the rampage--then it might have motivated him to actually do his rampage.

In any event, it goes to his mental state.

I believe that the reporters tend to forget who the important people are in this tragedy. cho is the least important person at this point.

And, trying to understand WTF was in this guy's head may help.

these little msm stories are nothing but supermarket tabloid trash if even true and do nothing to prevent this from happening again.

why not try to get into the persons head that is responsible for not ordering the police into the building immediately.. or the person responsible for not locking down the school after the first shooting. killing 30 ppl with a handgun only happens when the authorities fuck up.

i don't know who is tackier, him for hiring her or her for blabbing this story no doubt to draw attention to herself

after seeing the charge on his credit card. They are following that paper trail very closely. Anyway, the media, which is following the investigators just as closely, contacted her.

I know this is gonna make some folks mad, so please overlook my sick humor, but I can't resist calling this chapter of the story, "Cho's Ho" . Where is Imus when you need him?

I wonder?
