Generally speaking, I don't mind fiction that incorporates actual people if those people are already in the public view/discourse. This person is not.
Also, and perhaps inconsistently, I disliked the way the story appeared to erase the existence of the actual person to replace her with someone designed to make a point.
As for the ghosts, I think either reading is plausible, depending on how you read "the victims of my father."
