MISSING MEMOIRS, MAYHEM, AND … MURDER?
Blind Item
It was a scene out of an Agatha Christie novel two weeks ago when billionaire magnate Warren Ellingham died of an apparent heart attack at his seventieth birthday party aboard a luxury yacht belonging to his ultraexclusive country club, Pacific Pines.
The party was one for the ages, according to our sources, and though no one has confirmed their attendance on social media, we have it on good authority that at least one action movie star, one minor European princess, and one reality TV villain were in attendance.
Our sources also say Warren was set to announce his long-rumored (and already predicted by this fine outlet) tell-all memoir about the connections, backroom deals, and buried secrets connected to Pacific Pines when he was cut short—literally.
But here’s where the story takes a ride on the Orient Express—Ellingham’s memoir, which was under lock and key aboard the yacht, was stolen during the party.
Ellingham was also seen arguing with a former golf star and new member of Pacific Pines, and Warren’s own son, Bradley Ellingham, gave a less than flattering homage to dear old dad before Warren’s heart attack.
Could Warren’s passing have been more than an unfortunate tragedy?
Only time and a thorough, impartial investigation will tell.
The police are still looking for the highly prized missing memoir, though no strong leads have been announced.
If you have any tips or information to share on the missing memoir, there could be a reward involved for any information that leads to the recovery of the manuscript.
