It's against the Twitter terms to pay money for accounts. I think more likely is that Twitter 'seized' the dead account and just granted it to her. I'm sure for instance someone had previously squatted on accounts like "VP" or "England"

Ah, I didn't know that; then it's merely the second most boring, mundane way I would expect.
