The body of a woman named Paula Godspeed was discovered several yards away from American Idol judge Paula Abdul's home. The woman was a previous contestant on American Idol and was ridiculed by the judges at her audition of the show back in 2006. Seems Godspeed, who suffers from a history of mental illness, was deeply hurt and angered by the judges reaction to her performance. Souces claim she developed an unhealthy obsession with Paul Abdul and was seen stalking Abdul's neighborhood. Just last year,, after a drug overdose in very close to the same spot, authorities were called in because Abdul feared for her safety.
Godspeed continued to lurk around the neighborhood and Abdul's neighbors thought she may have been a paparazzo! Godspeed's vehicle had a license plate that read "ABL LV" and a photo of Abdul that hung from her rearview mirror.
The cause of death for Godspeed appears to be suicide by drug overdoes. Paula Abdul is very shaken up over the entire situation and says her thoughts are with Godspeeds' family.
Here is her AI audition tape from 2006:
