- 2005: Geoffrey Andersen loaned quarters to his neighbor, who used them to photocopy her suicide note, which she tossed from the roof of Oakland's Tribune Tower before leaping to her death in front of a crowd of horrified onlookers. "After scattering hundreds of copies of her suicide note from the seventh-floor ledge of a downtown building, Mary Jesus held her nose and raised an arm in the air. Then, like a swimmer taking a plunge, she leapt to her death. [...] 'She was a really good manager,' said tenant Geoffrey Andersen, 27. 'If there was a plumbing problem, she’d get on the maintenance guy.... She took the whole building very seriously.' But her demeanor intimidated some. In her black outfits, black lipstick and parasol, she often talked -- with a laugh and flourish -- about having been raped or about her occasional work in the sex industry, Andersen recalled. 'If you were friendly, her attention to you became oppressive,' he said. 'If you ignored her, she was hostile.'" (Los Angeles Times, | June 10, 2005)
