More Info On Chloe Jones Interviews About Chloe Jones Chloe Aid

Chloe (Melinda Taylor), the former Vivid Girl, died of liver failure at 4am Saturday, June 4, 2005, in Houston.

(Jack Marx clip job on Chloe in the Sydney Morning Herald online.)

She was waiting for a liver transplant (though she never mailed in the application form).

Chloe's boyfriend Chris Miguez writes (August 30, 2005) that the coroner concluded the death was accidental.

A few days before she died, Chloe's final two escort clients turned her down. One faulted her complexion. The other complained about her overhanging stomach (a result of her blocked intestines).

Several times a day, Chloe would talk to her mother. There was no subject she'd hold back from her, including escorting.

Chloe was born Melinda Dee Jones on June 17, 1975. She grew up in Silsbee (a town of 7,341 with 39 churches), Texas.

"We didn't grow up going to church," says the middle sister, Melinda Holden (born in 1973 and works in a mortgage company in Salt Lake City). "I don't know if in her lifetime Dee ever went to church. I remember her at one point said, 'I don't believe in God.'"

Dee's oldest sister is Michelle Barclay (born in 1971 and works in Arkansas as a court reporter).

Chloe's mother is Donna Jones, 51. Donna was 16 when she had her first child, Michelle.

"Everybody said I was the strongest," says Michelle, who got her college degree at age 27 and began work as a court reporter. "Chloe was wild and crazy. Chloe and Melanie, you would not believe how much they looked alike. People would believe that Dee and Melanie were twins. We were blessed with good genes, minus the craziness that went on in our family. We believe it is a disease. Our grandmother was a beautiful woman. But she was screwed-up. She abused barbituates and vicodin and anything she could get her hands on. She died in 1986 at 51. She had shot herself in the stomach in front of my mother when my mother was a child. She started abusing alcohol.

""We were the infamous Jones girls. I was a goody-two-shoes because I'd had a child at 13. I really tried to prove to the world that I could be something. Cheerleader. French Club. Didn't smoke. I never thought about drugs. A jock. Good grades. A scholarship waiting on me for music at Baylor. I'd met my husband just before turning 18 and I was with him until last year, when I was 32."

Michelle says Dee was "wiild, crazy. She didn't really care what people thought about her. The first time one of Dee's friends met Dee, Dee opened up her purse and started going through it. Dee was spontaneous. She was the one who would always get in trouble and we would take up for her.

"Our family had lots of friends. All three of us sisters were popular in highschool. People would hang out at our house and shoot pool. Our mother would let us drink beer inside the house.

"There were a lot of people who were jealous of her. I was jealous of my little sister growing up. She had all the boyfriends. She could put on that bikini and everybody would turn their head.

"Women are just catty anyway. If they see a beautiful woman, they can't accept her. I got to that point in my life where that jealousy went away and I embraced her."

In 1982, Chloe's father died in a car accident at age 29.

"We believe he was knocked out before they went over the bridge," says Michelle. "They were friends coming home. They worked offshore. They were coming back after being two weeks out. They were cutting boudin open, trying to eat. They dropped a knife. They both reached down to grab it and they flipped off the bridge in Louisiana.

"The driver survived. The cab of the truck was smashed. He was a skinny man and he was able to swim out."

Chloe's mother Donna sued the company her husband worked for, arguing that he was traveling on business. She won a large settlement. She and her family lived in a big beautiful house.

"Our mother couldn't get a grip on all three girls and manage the place," recalls Michelle.

With her money and good looks, Donna attracted many suitors. "She was kinda whorey," says Michelle. "She was very attractive. With her looks, she could've found someone decent."

Donna married Sam Tanner in 1984. "He was a creep alcoholic scumbag," says Michelle. "It's amazing that Melanie and I turned out normal. But as far as any sexual abuse as [Chloe's first husband] Jason Sturrock said, there was never ever any of that on us. I was a strong enough person that I would've taken my sisters and we would've left."

In 1988, Melinda (Chloe Jones) at age 13 attempted suicide several times. She was incarcerated at the Beaumont Neurological Center for juveniles. She later told people that the interns shot her up with Thorzine and raped her (according to this report and others.)

"She'd gone out and done some Ecstasy," says Melanie. "Then she went in and grabbed a butcher knife and went after my mother with it. My mother didn't know she was on any drug. She took Dee to the hospital. That's when they told her Dee was on Ecstasy.

"Even as a child, Dee was going to do what Dee wanted to do. Nobody was going to stop her. Just like with her first marriage. My mother threw her hands up and said, 'Take her. I can't deal with her anymore.'"

"[Sam Tanner] was in our life until 1989," says Michelle, "when the other stepfather came into our life, Wayne [who was in a lawsuit with Mobil Oil]."

"I really enjoyed the times we had in school," writes Melinda's Kountze High School classmate Gary Morrison in the Houston Chronicle guest book for the late Melinda Taylor. "Smoking in the parking lot between classes and cruising the roads."

"She was real classy," says Gary by phone. "She was always well-dressed, well-mannered. She was always up there with what everybody called the 'prissy people.' She always wore nice dresses and high heels and stood out above everybody else. She wasn't snobby or bitchy.

"She was real popular. A lot of girls envied her because of the way she dressed. She was always real flashy. She got along with anybody.

"I was real shocked and surprised when she went that route [stripping]. But she was good at what she did. She took it seriously. She wasn't just a young girl out there trying to make a few bucks. She meant business."

Luke: "Did you see evidence of a self-destructive tendency in Melinda?"

Gary: "There were times. Family problems. She started taking drugs at the end of highschool."

"Of course we talked about drugs," says Michelle. "Of course everybody experiments. We've done our fair share back in the day. We never shot up. We'd take the occasional acid. Ecstasy. Snort coke."

At age 16, with her mother's permission (Donna was glad to get Melinda off her hands), Melinda married David Jason Sturrock. "[He was] just as crazy as Chloe was," says Michelle. "They would burn each other's stuff. They would get pissed off at each other and burn each other's clothes. They were too young and too much alike. They did crazy pranks on each other.

"All three of us sisters have never had a best friend. It's always been us because we're very untrusting people. We've been stabbed in the back so many times. As far as a best friend while she was an adult, she was friends with Lisa Skeirys. Then they had their falling out."

Melanie says about Jason: "He was dating a girlfriend of mine and her parents sent her off to a military school to get her away from him. I didn't get along with Jason. He was controlling of her. Everything he said, she did. I didn't care for him and he didn't care for me. Dee was so headstrong...They'd soak each other's clothes in clorox and light them on fire."

Lisa Skeirys writes to Chloe's first husband Jason Sturrock on Useless Junk.com: "The stories she told about you were hilarious. She said you set her truck on fire and that you put Nair in her shampoo."

David Jason Sturrock posts on UselessJunk.com April 5, 2005:

Dee has two older sisters. Her oldest sister gets pregnant and has a girl. In order to hide the fact that her teen girl now has a baby the Ms. Jones (mom) says it’s hers and spares the child a life of misery. Good plan but it didn’t work everyone in town knows and now the Jones sisters are labeled as sluts.

This is where I come in. I met her older sister and invited them to a party at my house. I didn't think they were sluts but I wanted to find out. They weren't sluts but crazy like their mom.

This where I met Dee. She was 13 almost 14 and loved to do acid. Her favorite band was the Cure and she had already attempted suicide several times. She had just recently been released from the Beaumont neurological center for juveniles where she said the interns had shot her up with thorzine and had sex both oral (to her) and vaginal with her. She was fairly open about being bi-sexual (something that I never got to partake in) and hated oral sex from men.

I’m like 18 and just a kid myself. My parents were very religious and here I have the devil's handmaid at my disposal. I remember the first night we had sex. I had just met her two weeks before and she said she was 15 about to turn 16 which of course was the first lie she ever told me. We went to my room and just before I "entered" her, she said. “Do you know what your doing?” I now have to say NO, I had no idea what I was doing.

And now we get to meet the source of the problem -- Dee’s family. Her mother had two boyfriends, One was an alcoholic vagrant named Sam. Sam was strange to say the least. He would watch the girls and ejaculate spontaneously. Sam was a kind of a visual pedophile he never hurt anyone or touched anyone to my knowledge. The girls were well aware of his problem and joked regularly about it. How sad for teenagers to be subjected to that and also that their poor minds are so warped that they can joke about it.

Dear old mom need more than one source of income so there was Wayne, another very strange person. Imagine if you will, a kid that got picked on his whole life because of his glasses and weight and dorky habits. The kid grows up mentally warped and full of hate. Throw in a divorce (he was very racist and she left him for a black man). Roll it all together and BAM you have Wayne. He had a boy and a girl both of who got their minds f---ed in all of this. Both men were waiting on the huge sum of money to come in from the lawsuit and would do anything for Dee’s mom to stay in the picture.

Wayne loved Dee’s mom, sometimes very strange love. I caught them in bed one day and she was spanking him with a high heel shoe. He had a love for porn and didn’t care if the girls saw it. I knew he was sick when he asked me to check out a movie. The movie was she-males. Again the girls, all of them, thought that this was very amusing. He lived in Lumberton (racist) in a trailer.

Now Dee’s mom also lived in a trailer in Silsbee and everyone wanted to be one happy family (Sam, Wayne and kids, Mom and kids).

This is where I leave for a while (Desert Storm for around 9 months).

So mom says “Wayne, Silsbee is the place you want to be, so they loaded up the trailer and they move down the street. Actually they move right next door. Sam lives inside with Mom, Wayne lives 25 feet away in his trailer, Did I say that Wayne and Mom were to be married?

I come home from Kuwait to find that Wayne has finally has had enough. I wasn’t sleeping very well when I first got home and would frequently get up at night. One night while doing my rounds, what do I see? Wayne. by himself, standing in front of his trailer as it’s burning to the ground. Guess who gets to move in the trailer with Mom.? That’s right. It’s Wayne. Sam has to build a little shack out in the back yard. Wayne says he didn’t do it but if you know Wayne HE DID!

Anyhow this whole time Mom is making promises to each guy to get rid of the other, of course she had been doing that from the start. Ok you get the picture. So you kind of see what got her started on her path. Now the Psycho is living in the house and the “visual” pedophile has to peek in the window to get his jollies.

We get married and I move her to Fort Hood. She's 16. Sometime passes and she starts working for a furniture store as a sales person. I come home one day and she tells me that her boss raped her.

Move forward a couple of months. I come home from work (ARMY) and the entire apartment is empty. I mean everything. The only items left in the house are my clothes, alarm clock and cable box. The police contact me and ask if I have seen her. Apparently the the guy(boss) takes a polygraph and passes. The detective calls me downtown for a chat. He says she bailed because she knew that they were on to her, she was trying to get money on a rape claim. He said if she hadn’t have left they would have arrested her.

I finally catch up to her (via phone) back in Silsbee. She told me she was working at Team Mates as a waitress. Come to find out I know the owner (he dated my cousin for a while and he was also my scuba instructor). He tells me she is dancing for him, he also says he didn’t realize who she was until now and that the best thing I could do for myself was to get as far away from her as possible. I took his advice and filed for a divorce that was official Dec 10 1993.

Oh and I never put Nair in her shampoo or burned her truck. I did burn all of her clothes (at least the stuff from me) and other things I had gotten her in a 55 gallon barrel (I was pissed). Her Mother thought that was the funniest thing she had ever seen. I thought the spanking with a high heel was funnier.

I was at her sister's house in Austin [in 1996] and she was in town dancing at Sugar's. Anyway she OD’d and we had to call an ambulance. She must OD like once a month. As a kid she OD’d (suicide) several times on aspirin, which sounds weird but it’s possible. I think that is what started her internal problems. By 17 she was diagnosed with endometriosis and had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. This was at Fort Hood where I was stationed 90-94. They said she probably couldn’t have children and as much as she was getting screwed if it was possible it would have happened. Funny thing is, I wasn’t the one getting it.

After I graduated from college (Waco, TX) in July of 96, I moved to Santa Barbara. However I didn’t speak with her again until 97 or 98. She was in Malibu doing a Penthouse shoot but lived in Houston. She was there with a boyfriend.

In 2002 or 03 she contacted me through in what seemed to be a plea for help. When I told her that I was married with kids and that she should never contact me again she got real defensive and told me that she wasn’t trying to get back with me and that she was married to a software wizard, the next Bill Gates (Chris Miguez).

Chloe's beauty did not make for happiness. "There were guys who would rip her off, take advantage of her," says Michelle. "There weren't many women who had a natural beauty like she did. Her body was flawless."

At age 17, while still in highschool, Melinda began working as a stripper at the nearby club Team Mates (at 5480 Cardinal Drive West, Beaumont, TX, 77705).

"It was 1992," remembers Melinda's best friend for more than a decade (1992-2003), Lisa Skeirys. "Dee was 17 going on 18 but she had an ID that said she was 18. I always knew there were better things to come from her because she was beautiful. She was drop-dead gorgeous.

"What drug her down was the [porn] industry."

"I introduced her to this world [of modeling]," says Michelle. "When she was back in highschool, I had taken her to a couple of different modeling conventions. Then I moved out to California. I got her to come out with me. She had started dancing [stripping] at Team Mates in Beaumont, Texas. I hooked her up with some people. The Sterling/Winters company. A couple of gay guys. They managed Morgan Fairchild and some of the older actresses. From there, she was introduced to other people."

Luke: "How did you and your family feel about her working as a nude model and stripper?"

Michelle: "We didn't mind it at all. I wish she would've stayed in that direction and went into acting and stayed with Playboy and Penthouse."

What were the most important events in her life?

"The birth of her children. When she landed in Playboy. I think that was the highlight of her life, just to say, 'I'm in Playboy now. Look at me. I've made it.'"

At age 18, Melinda came to Los Angeles pursue modeling. Over the next few years, she moved back and forth between LA and Texas (spending most of her time in her home state).

"Chloe was something fearless," says Michelle. "I lived with her in California when she was 19, 20. She started out as a [stripper] at 18. We wanted her to get out to California and get into modeling. I was very proud whenever she hit Playboy, but after Playboy, it went downhill. There was nothing we could do.

"On my 21st birthday, she went to enter this bikini contest. We took separate vehicles. I ended getting intoxicated and following her out of the parking lot and going to stop at a red light, I just smashed her back-end and did $5,000 worth of damage.

"She gets out and says follow me. My little sister was witty and quick on her feet. We go somewhere in Beverly Hills and park at a subway. I go in and call the police to make it look like a customer had backed in to me while we were in there having a sandwich. The cops fell for it.

"She was a wild ride. I remember going on a photoshoot with her (when Chloe was about 19) when she first started out. We had to hike down this cliff to the beach. Going back up the cliff, she had a seizure.

"Back then, we didn't want to believe she was having seizures. We thought she was just doing it for attention. She had to be the center of attention or she was going to pull something to get it that way.

"They called a helicopter to lift her out of the basket to get her off the cliff.

"I remember her sneaking into the Universal Studios fountain. A friend snapped pictures. We never got caught.

"She was fearless. Somebody said the other day that she was bulletproof. And that's how we looked at her.

"My older sister and I never wanted to believe anything she said unless she had proof to back it up. Like the story about her having leukemia. [Chloe never had leukemia. It was a lie she told.] We thought the seizures were just for attention.

"Her first seizure was [when Chloe was 19] when we were living in the apartments in Burbank."

"[Dee] never did read much," says Michelle. "She was [of] average [intelligence]. She was street-smart."

What did she most want out of her life?

"She wanted fame. She knew that after the porn industry, she could never go back to Penthouse, Playboy, the things that gave her notoriety. She liked attention."

"We drifted apart," says Michelle, who moved to North Carolina in 1993. "My sister Chloe was strung out on Vicodin. She could conjure up some stories. She and my mom were like to peas in a pod."

Melinda divorced Jason. She met Michael "Scorpio" Taylor in 1994 and they married that same year. He is the father of her twin boys (born in 1997). The father of her daughter Chloe (born in 1996) is Kurt Stoneking. He gave up all rights to the child. Little Chloe was formally adopted by Michael.

Lisa Skeirys writes 4/6/06 on Uselessjunk.com:

I was working with her [at Sugar's Uptown Cabaret in Austin] in 1996 when she was pregnant with her daughter Chloe. She smoked cigars and drank all through that pregnancy. It was about that time, she was trying to pass off her pregnancy on a guy named Mike Taylor.

Chloe fakes a fainting spell and has Mike believing the kid is his. Until she was born, and Mike demanded a DNA test. He still raised her as his own.

She told me, the twins were Charlie Sheen's. She has been obsessed with Charlie for a very long time as you can see. She has f--ked up alot of lives. But karma got her...

The last time I spoke to her. She was planning on faking her own death on video. Then coming back and winning some porn star award. She said if Pamela Anderson could make millions off of a video, she could too.

"I know one of the happiest times in her life was when she met Mike," says Melanie. "Her life was on track. She was living in LA. She'd just made it. Those were the happy times.

"You want to know my honest opinion on the porn industry? I've got a bad outlook on it now because it killed my sister. Between the pills and the drugs and the way they live their lives... I think a lot of them numb it with drugs just like a rock star."

Luke: "What do you think it is about the porn industry that kills people?"

Melanie: "Their conscience. Knowing they're spreading their legs for money. Knowing that's how they're going to make it. Knowing that people are going to look at you and say, oh, porn star."

Luke: "Do you think it is inherent to working in porn or do you think it is what society says about people who do pornography?"

Melanie: "I think it's what actually happens. They lure you in. They make it sound like you can make thousands a movie. All you've got to do is a couple of shots and you're done. You get that first big paycheck and you're like, whoa. Maybe this will pay the bills. And then, after that, it just goes downhill because you can't live with yourself doing it. And you try to numb the pain.

"And the escorting business. If she would've just stayed with Playboy, she could've went somewhere. But she got on that one-way street and met the wrong person and it brought her down."

Melinda's second stepfather, Wayne, shot and killed himself in 1996. "He got depressed," says Michelle. "He attempted suicide a couple of different times. He eventually shot himself. I had come in and witnessed the aftermath. It freaked the cops out. Dee and I were telling the cops how to clean it up. It was crazy."

Lisa Skeirys writes Jason Sturrock: "Then when her stepfather [Wayne] commmitted suicide [in 1996], she tried to say that her husband at the time, Kurt, murdered him."

Chloe's boyfriend for her last 18 months, Chris Miguez, told me he suspected that Chloe's mother killed Wayne.

I know of no evidence that Donna, Kurt or anyone but Wayne were responsible for Wayne's death.

Around 1996, Chloe was raped, robbed and beaten with a baseball bat (said her husband Mike Taylor on the TV show A Current Affair June 22). I'm not sure if this is the same circa 1996 incident as when Dee was severely beaten by a john in a hotel room. She'd been set up for the appointment by the prostitution service Nicis Girls.

The beating exacerbated Chloe's seizures. "That started them," says Michelle, "and it got worse because she didn't stay on her [anti-seizure medication] Dilantin."

A few months later, Chloe became pregnant with twin boys and her sister Melanie became pregnant. The sisters had a falling out. "Her twin boys and my daughter were three days apart," says Melanie. "We didn't talk during her pregnancy until right to the end. I didn't want any more BS.

"We could not talk to Dee without her going back to our mother and stirring up the pot and twisting things around so that there was always something going on with our family."

Did Dee talk to her about her escorting work?

"She mentioned it once but she never got into detail," Melanie says. "Towards the end, she thought I was too good. She knew I had my own lifestyle. I think she was embarrassed to let me know how she made her money.

"She'd mention escorting. I'd ask her a few questions and she'd change the subject. She wouldn't go into detail. Everything I'm learning now about the escorting business, I'm learning from her mother, because her mother knew everything about her. I know the last two guys turned her down. One man didn't like her complexion. Another man, her stomach pooched out a bit because she had that intestine blockage."

What was your mother's attitude to Dee's escorting?

Melanie: "Dee could do no wrong by my mom. I don't even know if it bothered her. My mom just idolized her little sister. You walk into her house and it's like a shrine. It's always been that way with my younger sister. Ever since she first started in the business, there's posters everywhere of Dee. It's been that way since Dee started.

"She was pretty open with me about [the pornography]. I was with her when she first started out. She'd call and tell me about the movies but she wouldn't go into great detail.

"At times, she felt like she was being raped. That's when the pills started coming in, to try to numb the pain. I don't think she ever liked it. I think it was just a way for her to make some money."

Chloe Jones writes on her website www.chloejones.com in early 2000: “It is true that I recently fractured my arm in 6 different places in January 2000 upon returning from the CES Convention in Las Vegas and discovered I have Leukemia.”

On 9/17/00, Madison emails l-keford.com: "There is a rumor going around that penthouse pet Chloe Jones passed away. It is not true. I just spoke with Chloe and someone hacked into her computer, stole her address book, and e-mailed many people with the news of her passing. Obviously this is a malicious attempt to slander this sweet and beautiful woman."

Chloe did her first hardcore shoot in late 2001 (her first five movies were for New Sensations). She felt humiliated. "She did a lot of the pills to cover up the pain," says Melanie. "It was that she felt bad after doing it -- having to stoop that low for money. She just started doing that to make the pain go away and forget about it."

Fast Eddie writes 4/28/05 on his Yahoo group FunWithPSEs:

About four years ago, she began escorting through the old and now defunct Adult Star Fantasies agency, and apparently shortly thereafter she was severly beaten by a customer... she almost died from what I've heard. She disappeared and underwent extensive reconstructive surgery.

She signed with Vivid [in 2003]. But shortly after her signing she showed up at a Vivid sponsored high profile industry function in a highly "altered state," embarrassed Vivid and was dropped by them almost immediately thereafter...

Mike Taylor ended his relationship with Chloe Jones in early 2003 though they continued to live together until late 2003 when she got her own apartment (where she died June 4, 2005) and lived with Chris Miguez (whose name was finally put on the lease in April 2005).

"I don't think Michael wanted to live that lifestyle anymore," says Melanie. "I think he wanted to show the kids a stable life. He didn't want to mess with any pills anymore. He didn't want the kids seeing their mother like that. She wouldn't straighten up. He had no other choice. I know he loved her."

"Kurt [Stoneking] and Mike are really sweet, kind guys who were smart enough to get away from this girl," writes Lisa Skeirys 4/4/05. "She is a pathological liar."

"She was making so much money from the website [ChloeJones.com]," says porn star Montana Gunn. "Then somebody told Club Jenna she was in the hospital for months, which voided her contract, so instead of bringing in $2,800 a month, she was only bringing in $600. Mike paid for all of her hospital [expenses]."

For her last three years, Chloe was in and out of two hospitals in Katy, Texas -- Christus St. Catherine and Memorial Hermann.

Dee met Chris Miguez in September 2003. "When Chris met Dee," says Lisa Skeirys, "he had no job, no car, and no house. She was interested in a friend of his named Charlie Dixon. He's a terrific guy. He owns tanning salons. He is a real businessman, but he hung out with a crazy crowd. Melinda and Charlie had a thing for a little while. Then that didn't work out. Chris saw a way in."

Lisa last saw Chloe in November of 2003. "She had called me," remembers Lisa, "and said, 'Please go with me [to the Yellow Rose strip club in Austin].' She was very assertive but at the same time, codependent. She could not be alone.

"I agreed to go with her. I knew she was upset about Mike leaving her.

"The first night [in Austin], we got there too late to go to work. We had a little girl's night. We did make-up and talked about how we hadn't seen each other in eight months. She'd give me Lortab, a strong form of Vicodin. She'd take five to ten at a time. I can't take any because they just make me tired. I'd just throw them in my suitcase.

"Second night, we went to the Yellow Rose. As a feature dancer, she set up her little area. She was signing DVDs and pictures. I was off on the floor working [stripping to pay off student loans].

"After we'd been there for three hours, a bouncer comes up to me and says, 'Something is seriously wrong with your friend.' I get to the table and she's slumped over the table. The contents of her purse are spilled everywhere. There's money all over the floor. Men were walking up, grabbing DVDs, and walking off without paying for them. All of the money that both of us had made that night was gone.

"They carried her to the back. I didn't realize it was that bad. Dee was still living with Mike. Mike warned me about her. 'You're making a mistake. But go have a good time. If you have any problems, call me.'

"I go up front and gather her DVDs. When I return, they've got her set up with water and coffee, trying to get her to come around.

"The manager went through her purse, which was totally spilled open. He said, 'Here's the problem.' He holds up a bottle of Lortab, a bottle of Xanax and a bottle of Stoma. There were maybe ten tabs left of each. I have no idea of how many she took.

"She goes into a seizure. The manager wants to call an ambulance. Because my degree is in Clinical Laboratory Science, I agreed. Then she comes around. Whenever she came out of a seizure, she wouldn't remember anything and she'd just be mad at the world. "She looked at me and said, 'Take me back to the hotel.' I said, you realize that we don't have any money. You lost all the money.'

"I put the hotel room on our credit card. She lies down. I went to get her something to eat. She's going through her purse. I said, 'You've taken all your pills.' She said, 'I have ten left. That can get me through the night. There's no way I can make it through tomorrow.' I said, 'Let's pack up and go home.' I knew I had 20 pills in my suitcase. I didn't want to give them back to her in case she overdosed again.

"Dee is a crazy girl. She said, 'Watch this.' She called Chris and said she had a girl in Austin who was willing to pay $10 per pill for Lortab and to get as many he could and to borrow a car and bring them up here.

"I said, there's no way anyone will do that. She's laughing. 'We're here to make money. I lost your money tonight. I'll make it up to you tomorrow. I can't get by without the pills.'

"Sure enough, Chris showed up without the pills.

"The next night, she tried to go to work at the Yellow Rose. I said, you're barred. They're not going to let you work.

"On the third night, she ended up working at this hole-in-the-wall. I didn't even try to work there. It was nasty. Chris tried to pose as her manager.

"Dee did the same thing as the last night. She overdoses and goes into seizures. Chris yells at me: 'You knew there was no other girl to get those pills. You knew she was taking them.' He was taking about a handful too.

"I said, 'That's between you and her. I didn't have anything to do with that. I don't take the things. You take it up with her when you get home.'

"On the way home, she starts having seizures in the truck. We have to pull over. She comes out of her seizure. She yells at him: 'What are you doing here? Why the hell are you following me?' He's like, 'You called me. Lisa's in the back. She'll attest to that.' I said, 'Dee, you called him. You asked him to come up here.'

"We get back to the hotel room. She's out. He was crying. He said, 'Why is she so mean to me? I don't understand.'

"I said, 'I'm seeing a side of her that I haven't seen before. I haven't seen her this bad. She's not normally like this. Let her wake-up. I'm sure things are going to be ok.'

"The next day, we packed up and went home. We were in Dee's big Harley Davidson black truck. He was in someone's Camaro he'd borrowed.

"We're midway home, and Dee goes into a laughing fit. She says, 'I got my key [to her apartment] back.' She'd taken it off of Chris's keychain. She throws it out the window and hits another car with it. These people are furious because they think she's thrown something at their car. The lady rolls down her window and says, 'Bitch, what did you hit my car with?' Dee responds: 'F--- you.' And acts like she's going to run them off the road.

"Dee and I talked on the way home. She said, 'I've got to get rid of Chris. He has no job.' "But the bottom line is that she's the type of girl who can't be alone. Mike was done with it. He was had it with the pills. Dee just stayed with Chris for the security. He did pull in some money from his drug dealing, from methamphetamines and stuff. He probably did help pay for some of the rent. I know that Dee wouldn't let him live there for free."

In the Spring of 2004, Michael Taylor's mother overdosed on Seraquil (sleeping pills) and died. A toxicology report took almost three months to be completed and released.

Michelle says about Chloe's last year: "She had gotten away from the porn industry. She started escorting to make extra money. She had turned to prescription drugs. They had damaged her liver over the years. That's what first landed her in the hospital. She was told that [the prescription drugs Vicodin and Soma] were going to kill her. Her liver was basically gone.

"The first hospital stay was in September 2004.

"We made a road trip in late February 2005. She and I flew down to Houston and picked up my boat and made a road trip back up here [Arkansas].

"The day after she left my place in February or March [2005], she was pulled over [by the cops]. They were looking for Chris.

"She was wanting to straighten up her life and do something. I wanted her up here [Arkansas]. I said, be like Jenna Jameson. Let's write a book. You can retire off of that. You're getting older. You don't want to do this anymore. Sit back and reflect. Write about all your experiences. I'll help with the family history."

"[After the trip, Chloe] went back in the hospital. She got approved for a liver transplant.

"She was supposed to come up here Memorial Day weekend but Chris had all kinds of problems and wouldn't let her come.

"Chris was only in it for the money. He was feeding her methamphetamines. I know this first-hand.

"She was trying to get away from him. She had to switch bank accounts because he kept trying to drain all her accounts dry."

Why did she stay with Chris?

"Money and stability. She needed someone to help. In between doing escort services, when she was waiting on her money, Chris would go sell his drugs or what-have-you to make the rent payment."

Melanie says about Chris: "He just had a screw loose. He would put up with what she was doing."

Chloe's last brush with fame came in the March 25 2005 National Enquirer. She appeared on the cover. The headline read: "Charlie Sheen Cheated With Me." Below that ran:

* He said de didn't love his pregnant wife [Denise Richards who filed for divorce from Sheen]

* He paid me $15k for sex and asked me to marry him.

From ContactMusic:

Jones claims she was delighted to spend time with her old client, who allegedly paid $15,000 to spend four hours with the hooker, but she states he was terribly depressed.

She says, "Charlie was suicidal, sobbing, saying his marriage was over and he wanted to marry me."

Jones also claims Sheen told her his marriage was at breaking point because Richards kept accusing him of gambling huge sums of money away.

She adds, "He said, 'I'm not even living with her. I'm spending long hours at work. I send my assistant over to get my clothes."

Also in the National Enquirer article, Chloe said a near-death experience [in early March, 2005] convinced her to give up porn and hooking.

Lisa Skeirys writes on Uselessjunk.com 4/4/05:

I am sure her current story about Charlie is not true. She did sleep with him along time ago (about 10 years ago). So, there is truth to her story. But as of currently, I doubt it. One look at her and he would have run or paid her $15,000 to leave. She has done so much damage to herself that her abdomen is swollen and she appears about 5 months pregnant. Don't believe me, check out her porn. Her stomach is always covered. Since about 2003, anyway.

I feel sorry for her kids. They are so sweet. Now they will get teased at school for their mom being a hooker. She doesn't care though.

I tried to help her but she is too far gone...sometimes she can't even complete her sentences. It is as if her brain just shuts off.

Lisa replies 4/6/05 to Melinda's sister Michelle on UselessJunk.com:

I never know what to believe as far as Chloe is concerned. She told me the two of you did not even talk any more because the last time she stayed at your house in Austin that your husband tried to sleep with her. She said you threw her out and never spoke to her again because you thought she had made the story up.

She needs help... I honestly believe the porn industry has done her in.

"The last time I spoke with [Melinda]," says Michelle, "she'd just found out that in her prior apartment complex, he'd been cheating on her with some girl named Lisa. We were keeping our eyes open to see if she would pop up at the funeral. We weren't going to have her stay there."

Chloe was in Christus St. Catherine hospital from February 28 - March 16, 2005. The expense ran over a million dollars. Chris Miguez says his health insurance picked up most of those expenses though he's been left with over $100,000 to pay.

Melanie says: "She would call and tell me that she was dying. I guess it was something that you don't want to believe. We took it with a grain of salt because we never knew what to believe. We knew her liver was failing but we didn't know how bad it was.

"There were several times she called and said, I'm dying. If something happens to me, I want you to take the kids. I know you'll give them the stability they'll need. I remember telling her, Dee, if Michael [Taylor, Dee's husband] is still living, I can't do that.

"Dee would always say, 'Mom, I'm dying. Mom, I see death. Mom, I'm never going to make it to 30. I'm just going to be like our father. He never made it to 30. I'm never going to make it to 30 either.'

"It's one of those things where you say, 'Ok, Dee, move on from the subject.' If we could turn back time...

"There were some nights when you could tell she'd been on the pills. Her speech was slurred. I never asked her if she'd taken anything. I already knew.

"She called me one day two weeks before her death. I was running an errand. She had the music cranked up. She'd just come back from the mall. She said, 'I just spent $500 f---ing dollars on a pair of sunshades. I feel great.'"

Luke: "What were the last words she said to you?"

Melanie: "That she loved me and we'd talk soon."

It was June 1.

"The last time I saw her was Christmas of 2003," says Melanie. "We'd talk all the time but we didn't have that close sister bond because we didn't see each other.

"She knew that I had straightened my life up. I had married. I had a daughter. I went to work every day. I used to be a wild girl. Drinking. Everyone goes through their stages. There was a time when she was concerned about me and alcohol. Then I turned my life around and got straight. There were a lot of things she couldn't call and tell me because she knew I'd gotten my life on track.

"In the last six months of her life, she picked up the phone and told me, 'Melanie, I'm very sorry for the way I've treated you, for anything I've said. If I've hurt you in any way, I'm sorry.'

"I said, 'Dee, why are you saying this?' That's when she said, 'Melanie, I don't have much time to live. I just want you to know it was all the pills, everything I was shoving down my throat to try to take my pain away. In return, I hurt other people.' That truly touched me.

"Right up to the end, I'd talk to her: 'Let me get you in rehab. I'll fly down to Houston. We'll get in your truck and you'll drive me back to Utah. We'll put you in rehab up here.' She said, OK But when I asked her about it [specifically], she'd say, no, I can't leave. I've got this to do.

"I knew that if I got on a one-way ticket down there, she wouldn't come back with me.

"I begged and begged for her to come up here.

"Towards the end, we talked about getting a family reunion together at Michelle's house. We just never got to that."

Luke: "What about getting her away from Chris?"

Melanie: "There'd be times I'd talk to my sister and she'd say, 'Chris has done this. He's seeing someone else. I'm through with him.' There were other times when she'd say, 'He takes care of me. He's been here while I've been sick.' So, it was mixed. I never knew what to believe.

"I always told Dee that I can't form an opinion of Chris until I meet him. There's two sides to every story. I didn't realize how bad a guy he was until I did meet him. Unfortunately, it was too late. I feel like if he would've gotten away from him, maybe, but who's to say?"

I asked Melanie why Dee stayed with Chris.

"Because her business was slowing down and she got so sick, she was afraid to be by herself. She needed somebody. That's why his name got put on her apartment. So it would fall back on him to be responsible for the bills if she didn't have the money to pay it. Towards the end, she was losing everything. She'd rented a storage unit and put everything in storage and didn't pay the storage fees and lost everything.

"She turned the other cheek. Chris brought in the money and the bills got paid."

According to this June 9 funeral notice in the Houston Chronicle, Chloe's best friend and fiance is Christopher Miguez. He says he volunteered to give part of his liver to her.

Donna Jones did not make it to her daughter's funeral. "She was hospitalized from the shock." says Michelle. "She comes in and out of [sedation]. Of course they send her out the door with all kinds of [drugs].

"She was close with Chloe. Both of them loved drama. Any kind of drama. It didn't matter if it was made-up drama. That's what drew us apart for a while. We [Michelle and Melanie] didn't want to get caught up in the drama."

Luke to Melanie June 21: "I can't imagine what Dee's death did to your mother."

Melanie: "She called me today just crying her eyes out. She told me that she had nothing to live for anymore."

"Melanie is married to a sportscaster in Salt Lake City," says Michelle. "I divorced last year. That's when Chloe and I began to get close.

"We spoke at least once a week.

"Just a few days after she left my house [in February], I didn't realize she had taken some stuff. That's what put her back in the hospital. She got out, recovered, and had to go back in because she kept throwing up because of her intestines. They took out two feet of her intestines. She had a scar from her pubic bone to her chest. During that, she had appendicitis. They took her appendix out.

"She looked bad the last few months. You could tell she was sick.

"She wrecked her truck in early March [2005] because she passed out on Vicodin and Soma. She was arrested for a DUI due to that accident. Shortly thereafter she went back into the hospital."

"Mike's very good to her children. He's a good man. I was hoping they could work things out and get back together. Chloe loved Michael. We had a wonderful talk on our road trip to get my boat [in March 2005]. Michael was tired of putting up with the pills that she was on."

"The funeral was good. I was worried about that, about a bunch of people showing up. It was relatively small. About 50. We did have to hire security guards. Chris Miguez did not pay for that funeral. It came through donations.

"Chris wiped her bank account clean and I saw at least $10,000 to $15,000 cash, in $100 bills, on the first night we sat down (Thursday, June 9).

"There was a fan [at the funeral] who was trying to take photos. Michael saw what was going on. He got the police. They confiscated his film. We didn't want any of her pictures to pop up on the internet."

"It wouldn't surprise me to see little Chloe following in her mother's footsteps. She's a beautiful child. Michael was able to get her Tiffany and Co. necklace and bracelets."

I speak to Melinda's friend Montana Gunn Wednesday, June 22, 2005. "All this bulls--- coming out about Chris is unbelievable. He's got a great job [she and he say he's worked for a major corporation for nine years]. He hated that whole family because all they wanted was something off of Chloe. That's why they were taking pictures of her [at the funeral]. I said to Chris, isn't that morbid taking photos of the kids in front of the casket with the casket open?"

Luke: "Were they taking pictures of Chloe [Melinda Taylor] in the casket?"

Montana: "Yeah. With the kids and telling them to smile. They had two big giant digital cameras. They took hundreds of pictures. They were taking pictures of me. Raylin, Andrea and I were saying to Chris, isn't that morbid?

"My father says, 'That's the goyim for you.' He goes, 'There's just too many goyim out here.'"

I call Chris Miguez around noon on Wednesday, June 22.

Chris: "Are you familiar with [Melinda's] relationship with her sisters? They're not credible people. They've been jealous of her since birth. They're nobody. They've constantly been against Melinda. As long as I've known them, the stories I've been told, and the first-hand interaction I've had with them. To have a story going off of what they say, you're wasting your time. They weren't there for Melinda. They've never been there for her. I've read through the statements they've made. They've contradicted themselves in so many different ways, all the way down to the payment of the funeral. I've got receipts of everything. Mike Taylor and I paid for everything, including the security which I paid for out of my pocket. The only person in the family who contributed one cent was Melba Tucker, an aunt who hadn't seen Melinda since Melinda was a kid.

"I'm a project manager for one of the most prominent oil and gas companies in the world. I have more respect and notoriety in this city with some well-known people than they could dream up of."

Luke: "What did Melinda tell you about her sisters?"

Chris: "Two-faced. Couldn't trust 'em. Stealing quarters from a dead-man's eye. Melinda always wanted somebody in her life to talk to. She had a lot of resentment towards her sisters because they were never there for her. She left them behind and headed for California years ago. She didn't have a relationship with them. I'm the one who said, 'Maybe you should try to give them another chance. Give them a call. Try to talk to them. Maybe they've changed.'

"They started communicating but they had no faith in their sister. They told me on many occasions that I should commit her. That I should put her in a home because she wasn't getting any better. She was getting better."

Luke: "Did she need to go some place for rehab?"

Chris: "She went to a rehab facility two years ago. I told her towards the end, if you do not get completely away from those pills, show me a proven track record that you are going to do better, I will put you in an in-patient facility. I looked into it. I even showed her programs that were partial in-patient, out-patient detox programs. There was a facility right down the road from where we lived that could customize a program based on your needs.

"She didn't want us to split. We had our hard times. When there were hard times, she'd lash out and want people to think that Chris is this and Chris is that.

"Even Mike Taylor can vouch for my efforts with Melinda. He and I have gotten close as far as being there for the kids. I've not walked out of those kids lives. I'm like a stepfather to them."

Luke: "What was Melinda like in her last few weeks? Her sister says she knew she was going to die."

Chris: "Bulls---. I've been with Melinda for three years. The last two weeks were some of the best weeks as far as she spent time with her kids without my support. Her kids were out on summer break. I work during the day. I get home late sometimes. I was always worried about Melinda. She was weak. She'd been through some major surgeries. Three kids can be a lot of pressure.

"But she did it. She took them several places. She took them swimming every day. It about nearly killed her. I called and checked on her during the day. I got her to put me on speaker phone to talk to the kids and get them in line."

Luke: "Were you going to donate part of your liver?"

Chris: "At the USC, there's a liver donor facility. I've got the application I filled out. There are a lot of prerequisites to be considered as a donor. You can't just have the same blood type. We looked into it. We researched it. We contacted the transplant facility. We expressed interest. We did a pre-screening over the phone. We got accepted to do a physical.

"After the funeral, while I was going through the paperwork, she never sent in the actual letter. She wasn't known for her responsibility. I had full intent. I spoke with them. I had all the documentation."

Luke: "You were going to donate part of your liver?"

Chris: "Yes, I was. I'm 27-years old. My health is good. It would've been a month off of work and my liver would've recovered in 18-months and been back to normal."

Luke: "Did you or Chloe know she was dying in her last few weeks?"

Chris: "No. No trace of it. No sign of it. She died in my arms. Friday night, before she died, it was getting late. We had to go to Louisiana the next day. So we had to get up early. She always liked to stay up late.

"She was tipsy. She'd taken some Phenergan, prescribed by a doctor. It calms nausea but it makes you woozy. She was smoking a cigarette on the porch. I said you should go to bed. She said, give me a minute. I said, you need to go now. With Melinda, give me a minute means an hour.

"I helped her up and brought her to bed. She said, I'm still hungry. I said, what do you want? She said, bring me something from Jack in the Box. I said, stay in bed. I'll run up to Jack in the Box. You can eat quickly. We need to get some sleep.

"I went to Jack in the Box. By the time I got back, she was snoring. I'd been gone ten minutes.

"I didn't wake her up. I closed the apartment down. I turned the lights down. I got in the bed. She acknowledged I was in bed. She snuggled up to me and slept against me like normal. She told me she loved me. I told her I loved her. I said, don't worry about getting up. I'll wake you up. Just get a good night's rest.

"It took me about 30-minutes to go to sleep. Everything was normal. When I woke up before 6am, I nudged her to wake up. Normally, she would've jumped up. I noticed there was a good amount of slobber on my shoulder where her face was. But that was not out of the ordinary. But she wasn't moving. It was not like her to be in the same position she was six hours ago. Normally she was on the other end of the bed.

"I rolled over, turned the light on, and she was in a state I had never seen before. I immediately checked her pulse and she didn't have a pulse. I called 9-1-1. I picked her off the bed and put her on the floor. They had me doing chest compressions. [The ambulance] didn't get there until 45-minutes later. She was still warm. I had them do a full autopsy to see what exactly the full causes are.

"My gut tells me that she either aspirated, choked... Three days prior to this happening, she had some oral surgery done in her mouth, tooth surgery. Since the surgery, she had a massive amount of discharge. Fluids were draining from that area. She had choked a couple of nights before on that fluid but she'd woken up and I'd patted her on the back.

"That morning [June 4], that discharge was the same stuff. She could've easily choked on that or she could've had a heart attack. Her body was at the end of the rope.

"Do I think she took an overdose of pills or drugs? No. I watched her like a hawk with regards to that.

"She'd come to me and say, I've taken two Vicodin today. And I'd say, you mean you've taken five.

"She knew that I wouldn't chastise her. She knew that I would help her. I did. I saved her life three times in a year-and-a-half by getting her to the hospital in time, by recognizing the signs that she was not doing well... And even in Saint Christoph's hospital, they know every single time she's been there, how she got there. If I wouldn't have taken her there in the time that I did she would've died.

"There was one occasion when even Mike knew she needed to go to the hospital. She was laying in her apartment. This was a breaking point in our relationship. It was about a seven months ago. She was not doing well. She said, Chris, please come over. I miss you. I want to work things through.

"I wanted to work things through but I was tired of the crap and the lies and all the bulls---. But I kept coming back. I didn't want drama. I have a career and I didn't want it to be affected.

"I went over there. I saw how weak she was. I picked her up, carried her to my vehicle, strapped her in my vehicle so she couldn't get out, crawled over her, and rushed her to the only hospital that knows how to take care of. They quickly started running procedures on her. If we would've waited another day, she would've died.

"I sat by her in the hospital each time. I would wake up in the morning and go to the hospital. At lunch, I'd come see her. At night, I'd come see her. I was the only one. Mike would occasionally come up there and see how she was doing. Her family? No."

Luke: "Why did you stay with Melinda?"

Chris: "Because I loved her.

"She didn't have money. We struggled for the 18-months of our relationship. We lived paycheck to paycheck. Before I met her, when she first got in the industry, she and Michael went on a tear. They made a lot of money. But they pissed it away. He'll tell you the same thing.

"Her income went to s---. Her income, her residuals from her website, were commission based. They docked her pay. She's always done escorting. She didn't do it throughout our relationship, [just] towards the end.

"The pornography industry did not kill her. It started in childhood. She had fu---ed-up sisters and mother. She went through a nine year relationship [with Mike Taylor] that was mentally and physically abusive. She's got a metal rod in her right arm from a dispute with him. This is not saying it was all his fault. It takes two to tango. They just had a hard nine-years and it mentally screwed with her."

Luke: "Who is Lisa Skeirys and what is her thing with you?"

Chris: "Lisa is an old friend of her's. Melinda wanted to have friends. Anytime she made friends, there was always an ulterior motive [on the part of the new friend]. Everybody wanted to capitalize off of her. Little did they know there wasn't much to capitalize off of.

"Melinda had called me. Why don't you come up here [to the strip club Yellow Rose in Austin in the November of 2003]? I said, why? She said, because I don't feel well and I don't trust Lisa.

"Lisa had stolen her money because Melinda was incapacitated. All the money Melinda had made was gone."

Lisa denies this and says Chris Miguez stole from her.

Chris: "I drove up there and stayed with them. Melinda wanted to leave her there. She didn't want to bring her home. They had a big falling out. Why Lisa is trying to talk s--- about me, I don't care. She's nobody. I'm not concerned about her. Her ex-boyfriend was a large drug dealer."

Luke: "The sisters and Lisa claim that you are or were a drug dealer?"

Chris: "Before I met Melinda, I knew people. I was in that party crowd. I had involvement with them. I did my occassional s---. I've had my career for eight years. I've been in the IT (Information Technology) industry for eight years."

Chris says he did not sleep with Raylin and Montana Gunn. "Raylin and Montana were probably the only two people Melinda was friends with who I trusted, who didn't have ulterior motives. Raylin visited Melinda at the hospital."

Chris: "The night of the funeral [June 11], the sisters went out and got drunk and stayed at Mike Taylor's apartment. They had money to get drunk but they couldn't contribute to the funeral. When Mike Taylor got in that morning, there were three other people in his bed. The sisters were carried in the house they were so drunk.

"Melinda's sisters are white trash. They make s--- money. All they're trying to do is get a piece of the spotlight. They have an ulterior motive to make some quick buck with some bulls--- book they're going to write.

"Melinda has a book about a third-of-the-way-through that I helped her write.

"There's no life insurance policy for Melinda. The one that Mike Taylor activated, they threw out because it was too new."

Lisa Skeirys calls me back Saturday night, June 25, 2005. "I've been in touch with [Melinda's] sisters Michelle and Melanie. No one knows you like family. Chris has defaced her family. I know Chloe would be turning over in her grave for something like that to happen.

"He tries to come across as this big businessman. He talks about how he's this big project manager at an oil and gas company. I think he's been watching too many episodes of The Apprentice because the boy has no degree. He is a known methamphetamine user. I swear to you this on my father's grave. This is when he had first met Dee. During one of our trips to Austin, he was crying to me that he had no job, no car. He had just been evicted from his home by a gentleman Johnny Lisotta (who died about a week ago). Between three guys, they couldn't come up with the rent.

"Chris is a bottom feeder. He said my ex-boyfriend was a large drug dealer. He did have people on his payroll who worked for him and sold drugs. Then there were the bottom feeders. That's what Chris was. That's how everybody refers to him in this area. Bottomfeeders are people you could give the drugs to and they were skim their use off the top because they were users, and they would sell what they could, and then they would come back with money.

"When Chris met Dee, he had no job, no car, and no house. She was interested in a friend of his named Charlie Dixon. He's a terrific guy. He owns tanning salons. He is a real businessman, but he hung out with a crazy crowd. Melinda and Charlie had a thing for a little while. Then that didn't work out. Chris saw a way in. That's when he took it.

"Another thing that upset me was his dogging on Dee's husband Mike Taylor. Mike is a standup man. He stayed with Dee for nine years. Chris says Mike mentally and physically abused her for nine years and that was her downfall. It's funny that she was with Mike for nine years and she was fine. Mike kept her in line. He did love her and the kids. She meets Chris Miguez and 18-months later she's gone from us. His stories don't hold water. He drug her down.

"He talks about how he made so much money. In the same sentence, he talks about how he had to work two jobs. If he's making so much money and he's taking care of Dee and being the standup guy, why does Dee have to do escort work? Why did she have to go out and do these degrading things that she hated doing?

"Chris is a bottom-feeder. He might be working desktop support but he's not a project manager for a large firm. He's been in trouble. There's a DEA agent named Cartwright who can attest to that. If you're going to work for a large firm, they're going to do a background check on you.

"Chloe used to call him her gopher. He would do anything he said. I was reading about her last night. He said he went to the Jack in the Box for her. That's exactly how their relationship was. If she told him to do something, he did it, because he knew if he didn't, he was out. He doesn't have anything. Right now he's leaving off of the money that Dee left, the money she got from the National Enquirer and from escorting and residuals and her website. In six months, he'll be back on the streets with nothing unless he finds another girl who's sucker enough to take him in."

Montana Gunn says: "[Chris] stuck with her through thick and thin every single day. He went through a lot with her. He deserves a prize. He's hurting bad.

"Chris was there for her. She had died about three times. They always talked about what she wanted if something happened. How she wanted her funeral to be. She mentioned that she didn't want any paparazzi, which there were. There were a few of them. Chris had to hire all kinds of police escorts and security guards because people were trying to take pictures. That's not cool.

"She looked beautiful. I was like, 'Wake up, Melinda!'"

Luke: "What are your funniest or clearest memories of Chloe?"

Montana: "Always that damn cigarette. "Stop it! I'm allergic to it.' She'd say, 'Well, you better start scratching.' We were always getting into trouble, fun trouble that would be in our book.

"She's probably looking down flicking her ashes on the head of some girl she didn't like who showed up at the funeral.

"She always liked sleeping in a coffin. Now she is.

"Chris said she always wanted a black onyx coffin. He had favorite panties and bra put on. He said, 'Do you want to see?' 'Stop it! No.'"

Chloe's three kids now live with Mike Taylor. Chris Miguez says he sees them three or four times a week. Chris says he's one of the kids' listed contacts (guardian) at their school. "I must be doing something right," Chris says.

The following is a selective and disjointed transcript of the 6/22/05 show. Adultyfi report.

Reporter Doug Bruckner: "Jenna Jameson called a halt to an autograph session to pay tribute."

Jenna: "I was close friends with Chloe. I've known her for over ten years. We got into the industry at about the same time. We're all very sad and our condolences go out to her family."

Husband Mike Taylor: "She lived a separate life. When she was Chloe Jones and she was on the road feature dancing, or in front of a camera, she gave it her all. On the other side of that, she was a great mother."

Doug: "Just weeks before her death, Chloe had plans to leave adult entertainment and become a funeral director."

Mike: "Her goal was to get back to the Commonwealth Institute for Funeral Directing here in Houston, the only funeral directing school in the state."

Doug: "From corsets to caskets? It may sound bizarre, but no one who knew the woman affectionately known as crazy Chloe was surprised by anything she did."

Jenna Jameson: "She was so funny and so different from any other girl in the industry."

Mike: "She [Chloe] shot with Milton Berle."

Doug: "Just as her modeling career took off, the small town Texas girl fell victim to big city terror."

Mike: "She was raped. She was leaving a photo shoot. A guy took a baseball bat to her in an alley. It was after that blow that she felt victim to epileptic seizures."

Chloe returned to Houston and worked as a stripper. She fell in love with the manager of a strip club Mike Taylor. Their first child was born a year later.

Doug: "Money was tight and naked dancer Chloe was hearing from XXX producers."

Andrea Mountjoy: "She didn't feel comfortable doing some things, but I know she felt in her heart that she didn't have a choice."

Mike: "She didn't want it to come back later and have the kids see it. I said, we can explain to our children one day that this is just what mom and dad did."

Doug Bruckner: "She became an instant adult star. She did the Howard Stern Show and went on a date with some of her listeners. In the mid 1990s, she also got the attention of playboy Charlie Sheen."

Mike: "Charlie had purchased her phone number from a photographer. Charlie paid her a chunk of money to come out and spend a few days with him. I talked on the phone with Charlie Sheen. He was a longtime fan of her's. He had every magazine that she had ever been in. The limo showed up at our house. The driver came in and brought a big bottle of Crown Royalle for me. The limo was full of roses. I road with her to the airport. She took off and went to LA."

Doug: "Charlie Sheen, who had a long romance with adult star Ginger Lynn, has acknowledged he knew Chloe, but says she was just a friend.

"Her glamorous Hollywood days were long gone when Chloe touched down in Brazil two years ago for one of her last sex videos. Chloe tried to hide it with pranks, but her health was fading."

Director John Bowen: "It was like being on a rock 'n' roll tour with Janis Joplin. It was high-energy, high-danger."

Doug: "The first night in Sao Paolo, Chloe suffered a reaction to her epilepsy medication."

John: "We rushed her to a hospital. They had to put her on a stomach pump and an IV drip."

Doug: "Chloe recovered and did her scenes the next day."

John: "She'd have these epileptic fits, go rigid."

Doug: "The DVD were a top seller even though Chloe's health problems were on a featurette.

"Three months ago, Andrea visited Chloe in Houston."

Andrea: "She started having a seizure in the car."

Doug: "Chloe Jones spent Memorial Day (Monday, May 30) weekend with her kids. They went to amusement parks."

Host Tim Green: "And it's the kids you have to feel bad for."
