Missing link?

A 50-some-odd year old woman's car leaves the road - reason unknown - crashes down an embankment and ends up on its roof in a stream. The woman is trapped inside and badly hurt. It is nearly 24 hours before anybody spots the car and raises the alarm. She is released from the car and taken to hospital where she is described as being in a "poorly but stable" condition. Hardly an earth-shattering story - these things happen, unfortunately. But then it transpires that the woman is none other than Lindi St Clair who some 20-odd years ago was famous - or infamous - as a high-class prostitute and dominatrix. And suddenly it's headline news. I'm still struggling to see the connection.
