Alleged Tiger Woods Mistress Rachel Uchitel Suffered 9/11 Tragedy Before Spotlight (Photos)

(AP Photo/CP, Andrew Vaughan)
NEW YORK - Rachel Uchitel has been adamant that she is not having an affair with Tiger Woods, the golf great whose strange Nov. 27 car accident still remains a mystery despite an ongoing and frustrated police investigation.

But the 34-year-old New York nightclub hostess' love life has been in the spotlight before, for radically different reasons.

Uchitel first gained attention in the wake of September 11, when she lost her fiancé, Andy O'Grady, in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

Her grief stricken photo appeared in the New York Post as she clutched her fiancé's picture.

CBS affiliate WCBS-TV spoke with her a year after the 9/11 attacks at Ground Zero.

"When I think of Andy I no longer cry. I smile and I laugh. I'm at that point now. I can go on everyday knowing that somebody like him chose me to love," Uchitel told the New York station.

Tiger Woods' Accused Mistress Rachel Uchitel: I'll Take Lie Detector to Prove Rumors False (Photos)

(AP Photo/David Zentz)
NEW YORK - "This is ridiculous. Not a word of it is true," Rachel Uchitel told the New York Post on Tuesday in response to rumors that she was having an affair with golf great Tiger Woods. She even offered to take a lie-detector test to prove it.

Uchitel has suffered in the last few days as major news organizations have regurgitated a tabloid story that claimed the New York nightclub hostess and the world's greatest golfer were romantically involved and that a Nov. 27 car accident outside Wood's Ilseworth, Fla., home occurred in the aftermath of his wife, Elin Nordegren, finding out. That accident is currently under police investigation.

"Sweet" Makayla Sitton (Photos): Paul Michael Merhige Still on Run in Thanksgiving Massacre

(AP Photo/ Jim Sitton via WPTV)
JUPITER, Fla. - "God packed a lot of sweetness into that little body," heartbroken father Jim Sitton said of his murdered 6-year-old daughter Makayla Sitton. "She's just our life. I don't know how we are ever going to recover."

While the Sitton family tries to make sense of a Thanksgiving massacre that left four people dead including the alleged shooter's pregnant sister, her twin sister, his 79-year-old aunt and his cousin little Makayla, police are now looking in two states for Paul Michael Merhige, the man they believe perpetrated this violence.
