After wrapping up the Epstein scandal series last week, a couple of things continued to irk me. So I’m back for an epilogue of sorts… an episode that may be the end of my take on the Epstein story for good, or maybe just for now. Only time will tell.

"If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those three million files."

Between his release from jail in 2009 and his arrest in 2019, Jeffrey Epstein maintained relationships with some of the most powerful people in the world. He traveled freely and regularly hosted gatherings at his properties. He gave money to institutions that accepted it without public acknowledgment....

"The evidence points to a combination of negligence and misconduct."

In the early hours of 10 August 2019, correctional officers at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan began their rounds. Shortly after 6:30 a.m., officers approached a cell on the ninth floor of the facility’s Special Housing Unit, a segregated area used for inmates who require administrative separation. Inside that cell was Jeffrey Epstein, the i...

"We told the truth back then. They just didn't care."

Following his release from prison in 2009, Jeffrey Epstein set out to re-enter the inner circle of high society. Having been branded a sex offender by federal prosecutors, Epstein quickly found that there was little resistance to him moving around in the same crowd of wealthy and influential people he'd spent the past three decades cultivating. But still, the conviction threatene...

"Every day that passes makes it harder to hold him accountable."

In the spring of 2008, inside the offices of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, a document was finalized that brought an end to the federal government’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. The document was a Non-Prosecution Agreement, a type of agreement used to resolve cases without a trial. But this NPA in particular was handled outside of...

"I believed in the process. I thought that if we did our jobs the right way, the outcome would take care of itself. I learned that isn't always true."

In October 2005, detectives from the Palm Beach Police Department arrived at 358 El Brillo Way. Residents assumed its owner, Jeffrey Epstein, was just another wealthy resident, but officers had been keeping tabs on the mysterious financier for months and had come to suspect that he wa...

"If Jeffrey was the enigma, she was the translator."

On the morning of 5 November 1991, a body was found floating in the Atlantic near the Canary Islands. It was Robert Maxwell, one of Britain's most famous and controversial businessman. Hours earlier he had vanished from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, anchored off the Spanish coast. His death immediately became front-page news in the UK and across Europe, especially when it came to...

"He stood out as this young guy in this weird coat."

In 1991, business magnate Leslie Wexner signed a general power of attorney that gave Jeffrey Epstein authority to act on his behalf in nearly all matters of business and finance. The document allowed Epstein, a young financial consultant that Wexner had just met a few years prior, to sign checks, open and close bank accounts, buy and sell property, transfer assets, and borrow mone...

"No fiction author would have had the temerity to invent a disorder of such incredible clinical diversity and puzzling behavior."

In the winter of 1916-1917, as World War I raged, physicians in Europe began noticing bizarre cases of brain illness. Thousands arrived at hospitals with high fevers, headaches, confusion, and a host of other factors - suspected at first to be meningitis or even poisoning - yet none of the explanations fi...

"The slaying of the entire family promises to become a mystery which will take much time to unravel..."

By the first anniversary of the Villisca murders, the Moore house stood shuttered. The local sheriff had nothing new to add to the case file. Evidence had spoiled, witnesses had drifted, and rumor had begun to harden into folklore.

In the years that would follow, several suspects would be presented to local officials, including dri...

"Call the marshal. Tell him to come quick. There's something awful in there."

On the morning of 10 June 1912, Mary Peckham stepped out her back door to hang her laundry. Her house stood next to the Moore family's home in Villisca, Iowa; close enough that she could usually hear the soft chaos of their mornings. The Moores were early risers, and their routine rarely varied.

That morning, though, the house next door was silent. And that...

On 15 August 2015, employees at the Mission Park Funeral Chapels North in San Antonio, TX closed up for the evening. They'd just held a service for a young woman named Julie Mott who had perished after a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis.

"State officials have probably noticed an increase as well as an unusual distribution of Medfly infestation in Los Angeles County since March 1989. This was no coincidence."

The Mediterranean fruit fly, better known as the medfly, is about as unassuming as an insect can get. But the pest, native to sub-Saharan Africa, comes with enormous stakes. The medfly can infest more than 200 plant species, proving to be a nightmare for farmers...

"It was clearly part of our investigation that she was killed prior to the fire, and the fire was used to cover up her murder."

On the morning of 20 October 2016, firefighters were called to a quiet suburban neighborhood in Lockport, New York. There, they found a small fire burning in the front bedroom of a duplex, which was easily quelled. However, amidst the charred linens was the body of the homeowner, 54-year-old Holly Seiler.
