Strange conversations

The strangest conversation I've ever had was in a Krispy Kreme drive through.
A little back story. The lady working inside had previously worked with me at a different location.
Lady: Hey Jason.
Me: Oh, hi! How are you?
Lady: I'm good. Did you hear Charlene killed herself in  prison?
At this point the car behind me started honking and I had to go. I never saw her again. I have no idea why Charlene was in prison. We used to hang out and go have drinks after work and almost five years after the last time I saw her, she is dead at her own hands in prison for a crime I can't even imagine. My devastation at this news I heard third hand is miniscule compared to the suffering her family felt.
There is no editorial for this. It just popped into my head because I heard a song that had the same be as her daughter. Every time I hear it I both wish I knew more and that whatever happened hadn't.
