Did gold digger kill her elderly boyfriend?
Melinda Brennan, Moron of the Day: Nurse Tries to Earn Extra Money as Inept Hooker
UPDATE: After being pinched for her home prostitution business, Melinda "Mindy" Brennan offered police the best excuse ever. The divorced mother said the men she was dating just wanted sex, so she decided she might as well get paid for her services...
Melinda "Mindy" Brennan is a nurse with four children living in the fancy burb of Chappaqua, New York. Friends say she had financial problems -- over what we're not sure. So she decided to moonlight in the world's oldest profession.
But let's just say Brennan never completed the hooker apprenticeship training program. First she took out a Craigslist ad offering "sensuous massage" to "generous gentlemen."
What she apparently didn't know -- since she didn't read the textbooks -- is that police departments nationwide have been busting Craigslist hookers for years now. After all, criminals who advertise aren't very hard to catch.
Perhaps even worse, Brennan was inviting the johns to her house, which makes it really, really easy to get yourself busted, especially when you live in a fancy neighborhood. So when neighbors started complaining about suspicious activity at the home -- eeek! creepy men are showing up! -- an undercover cop made an appointment with our dimwitted enchantress.
When the 46-year-old woman accepted $200 as prepayment for barenaked services, she was arrested.
UPDATE: Mindy Brennan thought the men she was dating just wanted sex, so she might as well get paid for it.
Here's what she told police:
"I began dating during the summer. I realized most men just wanted sex so I decided to start charging for sex because I thought why not get paid. I started doing this two months ago. I set up an appointment with Andy. I spoke on the phone with him and told him the price was $200/hour for a massage with full service and (a sex act) at the end."



Maybe she can help some famous person there with their problem? Is he still the same or has heart attacks slowed him down? She'd just have to get within eyesight of our ex-Pr.

Posted 03/04/2010 at 02:23:07 PMA mother of four children, living in "the fancy burb of Chappaqua, New York"... on a nurse's salary? Hell yeah, I'll BET she had financial trouble! She was pretty stupid, no question. But it's sad that she got that desperate in the first place.
Posted 03/04/2010 at 05:48:26 PMNurse! Nurse! It hurts right ... HERE!
Posted 03/05/2010 at 11:04:44 AMWhy is it Illegal to be a prostitute in USA?

Judging by looks, I don't think Bill would want anything to do with her. Not when there are nubile young Columbia freshmen eager to hear his opinions on microfinance and Third World debt forgiveness.
Posted 03/05/2010 at 08:25:28 PMThe police don't have better things to do in Chappaqua.
Posted 03/05/2010 at 08:30:00 PMThe True Crime here making criminals out of ordinary honest working people, and using their own money (tax dollars) to do it.
Posted 03/05/2010 at 08:34:29 PMThere is no "Happy Ending" here!

Posted 03/05/2010 at 09:47:14 PMSide affects of an unperfect world may include the folowing ... mother of 4 chasing the all american dream. Wish her luck ;)
Posted 03/05/2010 at 09:54:43 PMYea - people who's biggest problem is that they're poor, having their lives ruined when they're arrested by police - who are also relatively poor...
... and it's then published as entertainment so people can laugh at them for being stupid.
Welcome to The End of The Roman Empire, American style.

Unemployment? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiit... when nurses are paid so little that they need to moonlight as hookers, what difference does it make if you've got a job?
Posted 03/05/2010 at 10:29:50 PMBravo to Nick and everyone else (most of us) who realize this isn't funny, it's terrible. I can't believe people can be so petty and mean as to laugh at someone else's desperation and humiliation. It's so depressing to think that someone took the time to write this.
Posted 03/06/2010 at 01:22:15 AMPete Kotz -
You are a shallow lil' clown. I might go further and paint your clown suit with more detail, by assuming that you're one of those christian, gossipy, morality-driven clowns. But then I would run the risk of polluting the pure-n-true fact of your lowly clown nature with a 50% wrong guess.
Mr. Kotz - you ought to heed my judgement, because I am your much more intelligent, older & wiser, more successful superior. In fact, you are quite lucky that I have taken this moment to bless you with my attention.
I have been happily married for a coon's age. I have also made joyful union with 2 prostitutes over the past 20 years. I have little doubt that botha dem hookers could write with more depth than you. They also applied themselves to their chosen profession more artfully than you did to yours. Is your profession writing (journalism?) or blogging, or ... wait ... you actually don't have a writing-related profession.
Melinda "Mindy" Brennan was a nurse. Whether she fucked on the side for money or just plain pleasure, the fact that she was a nurse means that she provided more value than you ever will, at least as far as the human being value proposition goes.
Keep on writing Captain Kotz! You are a shining star. A true "stand-out" monkey in this increasingly fucking vast and endless ocean of 6.5 billion other "true clown reporting" monkeys.
You totally fucked that Mindy bitch up! Smooth crime smashing work! Thanks for making the world better place by destroying evil.
(wake up clown boy. The good news is that every new day = a new chance for you to become a real person, so congrats, you can start again tomorrow! Yay for you!)
Posted 03/06/2010 at 01:30:49 AMCasual T after your blah blah blah and your intelligent???? Go home to the CIRCUS, CLOWN MAN.
Posted 03/06/2010 at 01:49:38 AMWow, get off your high horse, Casual T. In all your "vast wisdom" you miss the entire point of the writing style and purpose of this website. He writes to entice reaction from readers, and he succeeds through and through. You only demonstrate his ability to do so by taking the time to show him how emotional you became after his 10 minutes of writing. Maybe you Should consider adding a few tomes into your huge library of knowledge that include not taking things for face value.
Posted 03/06/2010 at 11:46:19 AMWas she the "Head" nurse ?
Posted 03/06/2010 at 12:59:11 PMi dont think she did it for the money. She probably did this to put some excitement into her fancy, mother of four, life
Posted 03/06/2010 at 03:36:56 PMIt's a shame she felt she had to resort to this lifestyle, but I do have a few questions. Where were her kids when she brought these johns home? If money were a concern, wouldn't giving up the lavish home and lifestyle make more sense than resorting to illegal activities? Unfortunately in these financial times, many of us have to give up a lot of things we used to have, but not many of us are resorting to such as this.
Posted 03/08/2010 at 02:24:56 AMtalk about easy money LOL!!!
Posted 03/08/2010 at 12:14:32 PMYa'll might lose respect for me on this one BUT, women are SITTING on a Gold Mine and giving it away for free (So my grandma used to say.) Though prostitution is a sickening concept as far as husbands bringing diseases home to thier wives, and things like that for the most part in some ways I feel like if you can sell your skills as a given right,by bieng a painter a piano player etc. What u do with ur body is ur buisness unless or until someone gets hurt.
Posted 03/08/2010 at 12:51:01 PMThat's the stupidest thing ever. Having sex immediately brings about disease? Let me ask you guys a question.
What's the difference between dating and prostitution? Some schmuck spends gobs of money on some girl to get her to open her legs at the end of the night. She already knows you want to sleep with her or else you wouldn't be putting forth an effort to date her. I'd never date someone I didn't want to sleep with. Some prostitute also knows you want to sleep with her and makes it easy by getting rid of the dating crap.
The government is mad because they 1)can't tax the money 2)can't open up federally sponsored whore houses and 3)would be a serious blow to all the industries that get money from dating. Movies studios, chocolates, flowers, jewelry, clothing, transportation, restaurants. The list goes on and on. I think she was smart to cut to the chase.

She wasn't insinuating that having sex leads to disease. She was referring to having sex with someone who has sex with a good many different partners (a prostitute) leading to a greater chance of catching an STD. Easy, killer. I do agree with the rest of your post though. Men pay for sex, period. Pretty naive to argue otherwise.
Illusions, your grandma sounds like cool people!! :) I will argue that not all women can sell it as a "skill" though, more like a commodity. No one likes a "dead-fish #&$(" - But the equivalent of a master pianist in that area does sound nice!
Posted 03/08/2010 at 03:03:06 PMThank u Jinx for seeing the point I was aiming for though I am at a loss for elaborating sometimes :)@ 539 Jinx has giving you what I ment about disease. I was in other words (on my original post) not in ANY way trying to glorify prostitution NOR claim disease "automatically comes from sex." I am only covering the bases on arguements one might make in regaurds to my original post. Furthermore I will say that prostitutes have been around forever,true. I would'nt want my husband NEAR one, would'nt want my child to ASPIRE to BE one, I myself would MUCH rather flip a burger or SOMETHING than to have to make that decision to go out and sell MY BODY that said, it is just that MY BODY. If a woman can go around and spread disease for free or seek out multiple partners its gross as hell, but it is'nt my place to say she can't charge for it, except to add the arguement it's a health risk, free or charged!!!(if that made sense???)
Posted 03/08/2010 at 09:18:24 PM@ Not Roscoe: I don't hate "Mindy". I agree with Stacy M. & maybe you to. You should tithe your gov't and maybe your religious institution (if you are so inclined) and keep the rest yourself. It should be easy to make ends meet. At least she wasn't killing, robbing or defrauding people to get money.
Posted 03/09/2010 at 11:24:21 AMWhat? No jaw breakers?
