It is reported that the convicted sex offender hired private detectives to transfer materials and equipment from his properties to the storage units
According to The Telegraph, sex offender Jeffrey Epstein concealed files and computers in secret storage lockers throughout the US, and the authorities have yet to search these lockers.
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting prostitution involving a minor under a non – prosecution agreement and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He was arrested again in 2019 on federal charges of human trafficking and exploitation of victims for prostitution.
Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial later that year, and it was ruled a suicide. His death led to speculation that he was killed to prevent testimony that could implicate powerful people he was associated with.
The Telegraph reported on Sunday, referring to credit card receipts, search warrants, and other investigative documents, that Epstein rented at least six storage facilities across the country. It is reported that the pedophile started using a facility named Uncle Bob’s near his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida as early as 2003.
As per the article, in at least one case, the disgraced financier told private detectives to move his computers into a storage locker after allegedly being informed about a police search of one of his properties. The Telegraph reported that Epstein used the services of the Riley Kiraly private detective agency to move items from his properties.
It cited an August 2009 email from Bill Riley to Epstein, in which the former police officer – turned – private investigator mentioned “computers and paperwork I took from Jeff’s house before the Search Warrant,” which were then “locked in storage.”
According to the article, in 2010, Epstein instructed the private detectives to rent another storage locker in New York.
Last week, Reuters reported that a criminal investigation in New Mexico that was closed in 2019 was reopened after a newly released email indicated that human remains might be buried near Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch.
