Judi Gibbs died in a mysterious house fire in 1986 amid rumors that she had pictures proving she and then-Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton had been regular sex partners.

Penthouse Pet Judi Gibbs died in a mysterious house fire in 1986.

Questions still remain as to whether or not she was killed because Clinton and his advisers feared the affair would become public.

Gibbs died of smoke inhalation when she was 32, alongside her long-time beau, 57-year-old Bill Puterbaugh outside Fordyce, Arkansas.

In photos from the local Fordyce News-Advocate, the fire destroyed the entire property.

Was Judi Gibbs killed because Bill Clinton and his advisers worried the affair was about to become public?

'I have always been convinced that Bill Clinton was responsible for the fire, but I have no proof,' Gibbs' older sister Martha, who still lives in Sims, Arkansas, told DailyMail.com. 'And what would happen if I had proof - you can't touch those people.'

At the time of her death, Gibbs was 32 and living with 57-year-old developer Puterbaugh in a large isolated home outside Fordyce, Arkansas.

Their bodies were found in the master bedroom. They died of smoke inhalation.

Puterbaugh's son, Randy, and Martha Gibbs tell a similar story, even though the two have not spoken since the days following the deaths.

'There are so many pieces of the puzzle.' Puterbaugh said. 'I believe it is a possibility that Bill Clinton was involved in their deaths.

'I know I wish I had hired my own private investigator but I didn't, so I guess I will never know.'

Judi Gibbs and Bill Puterbaugh died on January 3, 1986. According to a report in the local Fordyce News-Advocate, Gibbs called the fire department at 2.26 am: 'Bill Puterbaugh's house is on fire, hurry, you all, hurry.'

Puterbaugh's body was found by a window. Gibbs was next to the king-sized bed, still holding the phone.

Gibbs was the sixth of seven children born to a family in Sims, Arkansas.

In her teens, she was lured into prostitution by her brother-in-law Dale Bliss, who is now 85 and 32 years into a life prison sentence for child rape.

Gibbs later became a model and was an aspiring actress.

At the age of 30, Gibbs left her modeling and acting ambitions behind to marry Bill Puterbaugh.

Local fire chief Roy Wayne Moseley cannot explain why the two did not manage to get out of the house.

'The only reason I can think why they didn't is they were overrun with smoke so quick and so fast,' he said.

'It was a real tragedy. As far as residential fires go, that was the worst we've had,' said Moseley, who is now 80 and still chief of the Fordyce Volunteer Fire Department - a post he has held since 1960.

At the time of her death, Gibbs was 32 and living with 57-year-old developer Bill Puterbaugh (pictured).

Gibbs was the sixth of seven children born to a hardscrabble family in Sims.

In her teens, she was lured into prostitution by her brother-in-law Dale Bliss. Bliss is now 85 and 32 years into a life prison sentence for child rape.

Martha Gibbs said she had to rescue Gibbs from Bliss's clutches.

'She was 17 or 18 at the time. She went straight back to prostitution,' Martha said.

Bliss, who was married to Sharon Gibbs - Martha and Judi's sister - sent his girls to Oaklawn Racetrack in Hot Springs hoping to pick up wealthy men. That is where Gibbs met Puterbaugh.

Gibbs and Puterbaugh lived in a large isolated home a quarter-mile drive opposite a tiny airport outside Fordyce, Arkansas.

All that is left of the house where Judi Gibbs and Bill Puterbaugh died is the swimming pool and pool house.

Clinton would ask Gibbs to fly from the tiny airport (pictured) opposite Puterbaugh's house into Little Rock where he would take her to hotel rooms.

Gibbs's headstone in Kingsland Cemetery in Arkansas shows that she was born in 1963 which is in error. She was actually born in 1953.

Puterbaugh (headstone pictured above) and Gibbs are buried on the Puterbaugh family plot in Arkansas.

Gibbs had dreams of making it big in Hollywood. She did some modeling, traveling to England and Ireland for shoots for Datsun cars.

In her Penthouse spread, she said she hated exercise, likening herself to a lazy grasshopper.

'The only physical exertion that really appeals to me is between the sheets,' she said. 'And even then I do a lot of lying around.'

Gibbs' brother-in-law, Dale Bliss, was arrested for child rape. Bliss's house was raided by police and the affair came to an end.

But after she passed 30, her life goals changed.

'By this time, Gibbs' ambition was to marry Bill Puterbaugh and settle down,' said her sister.

Puterbaugh was a larger-than-life character. He enjoyed big game hunting. In 1965 he and a friend flew up to Alaska, then took a small plane, flying under the radar into Siberia where they each shot and killed a polar bear.

Bill turned his into a rug and his friend's was stuffed and mounted, which is still on display in the Dallas County Museum in Fordyce.

'I dread to think what would have happened if they had been caught flying into the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War,' said Randy.

'My dad was a successful businessman and he liked the ladies, no question about that. Judi was stunningly beautiful, very photogenic, very, very buxom with red hair but she wasn't real bright.’

'He got Judi into a lot of modeling jobs and made contact with Penthouse and sure enough, she got to be a Penthouse pet - runner-up as Pet of the Year in 1979 as I remember,' added Randy.

Gibbs had dreams of making it big in Hollywood. She starred in the cult car crash movie The Junkman.

Gibbs plays the role of Christine in The Junkman, which was released by Halicki Films on August 28, 1982.

'She went off to California and made her movie, but she was a country girl at heart and wanted to move back to Arkansas.’

'I think she really loved my dad, but he was a love-'em-and-leave-'em type, I'm not sure he could ever love one woman. But he kept Judi around for a long time.’

'He knew all about her past. She was pretty much a high-priced call girl, but he never pimped her out.'

Bill Puterbaugh also knew how politics in Arkansas's state capital worked and knew that Judi Gibbs was a major asset.

'He liked to rub shoulders with politicians and the big people in Little Rock,' said Randy. 'He knew that people did other people favors, especially politicians, that's just the way it used to be.’

'And Judi didn't object. He played the ‘favor’ game to be part of the crowd and she was a hot commodity.'

One of those politicians was Bill Clinton, at the time Arkansas' attorney general.

‘He started calling for Gibbs asking her to fly from the tiny airport opposite Puterbaugh's house into Little Rock where he would take her to hotel rooms’, said Martha Gibbs.

'Bill Puterbaugh knew she was seeing Bill Clinton, and he was okay with that,' Martha, now 71, added. 'Judi told me what she was doing with Bill Clinton a few times.

'I told her just keep away from him. I liked Bill Puterbaugh and I wanted her to stay with him. She was living with him and he was looking after her.’

'She didn't give me any great detail, just that they would go to a hotel. I would always say stay away from him.’

Gibbs was runner-up as Pet of the Year in 1979.

In her Penthouse spread, she said she hated exercise, likening herself to a lazy grasshopper.

'Sometimes he would have her picked up in a car and sometimes she would fly from that little airport in Fordyce. She never ever mentioned Hillary.'

The alleged affair with Bill Clinton could have gone on for years if it wasn't for Dale Bliss.

Gibbs learned that Bliss was molesting an eight-year-old boy and told Puterbaugh. He insisted she go to the police and drop the dime on her sister's husband which opened a whole can of worms.

Bliss was said to have a secret window in his home in Glenwood, Arkansas. This is where he would take pictures of his girls having sex with some of the state's most powerful men.

No-one will say for sure that Bill Clinton was caught on camera with Judi Gibbs, but everyone has heard the rumor.

'All I know is that state police raided that house and confiscated everything - and I mean everything,' said Randy Puterbaugh. 'None of it has ever been seen since.'

He spent weeks trying to find all the intricacies of his father's death, even filing Freedom of Information requests that came up empty.

He knew that Bliss had threatened to have Gibbs killed for reporting him to police, but neither he nor Martha Gibbs believes Bliss was the man behind the fire.

'He had nothing to do with it,' said Martha. 'Dale Bliss is a piece of trash, but he didn't have the money to hire anyone.'

Randy Puterbaugh, 63, is convinced the fire was started deliberately. He says one chilling discovery in the ashes made up his mind.

When Gibbs' brother-in-law, Dale Bliss, was arrested for child rape, Bliss's house was raided by police.

It's rumored that a photo was discovered during the raid that Bliss had secretly taken of Clinton with Judi Gibbs.

Gibbs' sister and Puterbaugh's son believe the fire that killed their family members was started deliberately.

‘There was a little bedroom that Judi had converted into a sewing room - she loved sewing. It was the only room that wasn't completely destroyed,' he said.

‘After the fire, which was huge news in Fordyce, people trekked to the house and looted anything they could find.’

‘At the time Randy did not want to see the place where his father had lost his life, so sent a friend down to see what he could rescue.’

'In the sewing room, my friend found a cassette recorder, lying face down with a tape still in there,' Randy said.

‘Inside the recorder was the Culture Club album Waking Up With The House On Fire.’

'I know that wasn't theirs. My father listened to the classics - Sinatra, Streisand, that sort of thing. He would never have heard of Boy George,' Randy said. 'Judi might have heard of him, but she certainly didn't listen to him.’

'It was like the cassette recorder had just been thrown in there. It's another thing that's suspicious.'

The fire started near the front of the house. It could have been the kitchen or the game room where Bill Puterbaugh had animal heads including a grizzly bear he had shot in British Columbia.

Randy and Martha described the room using the exact same words: 'All those animals gave me the creeps,' they both said in independent interviews.

Autopsies said Gibbs only had an antihistamine in her system and Bill was drug-free.

The taxidermy, along with the polar bear skin rug from Siberia, added fuel to the fire that killed the two.

The fire must have taken time to reach the bedroom at the back of the house. The noise should have woken the couple, both Martha and Randy said.

'Judi had a little dog - a Yorkshire terrier I think - and he was tied to his dog bed, but he dragged that all the way to the bedroom door,' said Randy Puterbaugh. 'She also had a cockatoo and that would have been squawking.’

'Things would have been falling off the walls. There had to be enough of a racket that they would have heard it. The fire traveled a long way from the front of the house to the back.'

'There were windows everywhere in that bedroom,' he added. 'There were no bars on them and there was a door that led out the back, but for whatever reason neither my father or Judi made it out.'

Fire chief Moseley agrees that the fire had to be burning for some time before it reached the bedroom.

'It had some burn time, it really did,' he said. 'When we got there, I didn't expect to find them dead as she had been able to call in.’

'It was just a whole shock for this town for something like that to happen here.'

Autopsies said Gibbs only had an antihistamine in her system and Bill was drug-free, yet neither Randy Puterbaugh nor Martha Gibbs believes that.

They both say Gibbs was a heavy drinker, downing several Crown Royal Canadian whiskeys a day and was bound to have had some alcohol in her bloodstream.

After Clinton's affair with Gibbs ended, he remained with wife Hillary and went on to become the president of the United States.

Puterbaugh didn't drink as much, but always had two Crown Royals every afternoon, his son said.

‘A few weeks before his death, he had traveled to Pittsburgh for cochlear implant surgery - a revolutionary new procedure at the time - and would have been taking medication.’

After the fire, Randy Puterbaugh received a letter of condolence from Bill Clinton.

Martha Gibbs said she had to confront the man who went on to the White House.

She thought it was her chance when he came to Hot Springs, Arkansas, to give a speech at the Royale Vista Inn.

'It was about six weeks after the fire, I think, and I went up to Clinton at the start and I said, "My name's Martha Gibbs, I am…" and before I could get it out, he said, "You're Judi's sister".

'I told him I needed to speak to him and he said he couldn't because he had to get up and make his speech, so afterward I kept going up to him and he kept moving, always a few steps ahead of me with people around him.

'He knew I wanted to speak to him, but he made sure I couldn't.'

Randy Puterbaugh has met Bill Clinton since, remembering one occasion when Clinton came to Fordyce for the annual Cotton Belt Festival.

'I was driving his float and I felt a tap on my shoulder,' he said.

He added: 'We passed the florist's shop downtown and he tapped me on the shoulder and said: "Randy, who's that blonde standing in the doorway?" I looked and there was this stunning looking woman and I said: "I don't know".

'He said: "Well, can you find out?" You talk about a hound dog.'

Do you believe in coincidences? There are simply too many deaths surrounding the Clintons’ for it to continue to be a coincidence.

Wow…even the most pessimistic mind has got to admit, the Clintons can be connected by dots to entirely too many deaths. You would think all those dots would peak the interest of law enforcement… Somewhere🤷🏼‍♀️

Jo No. 34312 2018-08-18 : 14:12

I could possibly believe that these two died in an accidental fire if it weren’t for the fact that the Clinton’s were involved. It’s just there are too many deaths surrounding the Clinton’s. I don’t believe in that much of a coincidence.

You can’t make it any clearer how corrupt and guilty this family is. I can’t wait to see them in cuffs

Bill is a freak… a sexual deviant. We can only hope “one day” the Clintons will face some justice. Rocky days ahead for them I predict. Thanks Lexy for another great article.

Peggy No. 35216 2018-08-27 : 00:26

Nothing these two surprises me. I feel sure about Vince Fost as I was back east at the time and I never believed he killed himself. Hillary cleaned out his office, did you all know that?
