Latest / Crime Stories with Nancy Grace / EPSTEIN-PIMP GHISLAINE MAXWELL JAIL-SCANDAL, "MYSTERY MEN FACE CHARGES?"
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So many people have been dragged, and I mean innocent people,
- 0:04Speaker 1: into Epstein's cesspool. There's not a witness list on a
- 0:10Speaker 1: silver platter on top of a Christmas tree with a
- 0:12Speaker 1: bow on it. That's not how it works. You have
- 0:15Speaker 1: to comb through every document. Volumes of top-secret information was
- 0:21Speaker 1: set to be released. And what in that information points to,
- 0:25Speaker 1: if it does, to wealthy, privileged... powerful individuals from all
- 0:32Speaker 1: around the world. 29 trafficking buddies? How come they're not
- 0:38Speaker 1: in MDC? How come they're not behind bars tonight? You
- 0:42Speaker 1: think I care they're famous? I don't care. The fact
- 0:47Speaker 1: that she is getting preferential treatment and refusing to name
- 0:51Speaker 1: these 25 or more guys, we've been told they've already
- 0:55Speaker 1: gotten deals. What deal? We know that he was obsessed
- 0:59Speaker 1: with cameras. He had them everywhere he lived, on his yacht,
- 1:03Speaker 1: you name it. So where's all that? Conspiracy theorists are
- 1:06Speaker 1: saying the search for our friend Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie,
- 1:11Speaker 1: is some type of crazy plot to take our mind
- 1:14Speaker 1: off of. Epstein. What is wrong with people? Nobody's forgotten Epstein.
- 1:20Speaker 1: But the bottom line is girls were trafficked and there
- 1:24Speaker 1: were co-defendants and our government is doing nothing. Joining us tonight,
- 1:36Speaker 1: Crime Stories investigative reporter Dave Mack. Dave, what's the latest?
- 1:41Speaker 2: Seven years after his death, Nancy, Jeffrey Epstein still having
- 1:46Speaker 2: lawsuits filed against associates. This time, celebrity hairstylist Frederick Fekai.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Seven women allege that Fekai's salons were used as a
- 1:56Speaker 2: grooming operation for Jeffrey Epstein. In the suit, the women
- 2:00Speaker 2: claim Epstein sent them to Fekai for beauty treatments designed
- 2:04Speaker 2: to make them all look younger. As a matter of fact,
- 2:07Speaker 2: using the term look like dolls, grooming to look like dolls.
- 2:14Speaker 2: The complaint alleges that some of the women had their
- 2:16Speaker 2: hair dyed blonde. The grooming-like doll to suit Epstein's preferences
- 2:22Speaker 2: is what it amounts to. The lawsuit filed in New
- 2:25Speaker 2: York names Frederick Fekai, his company, as well as salon
- 2:30Speaker 2: employee Patrick Coombs. The claims that Fekai and his business
- 2:36Speaker 2: enabled Epstein's abuse by providing salon services under his direction.
- 2:41Speaker 2: The stylist court strongly denying these allegations. Also, While this
- 2:46Speaker 2: is happening, former Epstein associate, billionaire investor Leon Black, he
- 2:52Speaker 2: defies a subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee,
- 2:55Speaker 2: instead filing a lawsuit challenging the demand for testimony and
- 2:58Speaker 2: documents in the panel's probe of Epstein.
- 3:01Speaker 1: With us, Mark Epstein. This is Jeffrey Epstein's brother who
- 3:05Speaker 1: insists his brother was murdered just before his testimony was
- 3:10Speaker 1: to go down. Joining us now, an all-star panel. to
- 3:15Speaker 1: make sense of what Mark Epstein and others are saying. First,
- 3:20Speaker 1: straight out to renowned death investigator Joseph Scott Morgan. He
- 3:24Speaker 1: is professor of forensics at Jacksonville State University, author of
- 3:28Speaker 1: Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon. He is the star
- 3:31Speaker 1: of a hit podcast, Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan.
- 3:34Speaker 1: But for our purposes tonight, he has investigated over 10,000
- 3:41Speaker 1: death scenes of all sorts. Be they... Death at your
- 3:47Speaker 1: own hands, accident, natural causes, unexplained, or homicide. Those are
- 3:55Speaker 1: the five choices. Joe Scott Morgan, explain to me why
- 4:01Speaker 1: you insist Jeffrey Epstein was murdered.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Two areas to look at. You have to look externally. Well,
- 4:11Speaker 3: let's talk about externally. They're talking about ligature marks on
- 4:14Speaker 3: his neck, all right? And when you see these marks,
- 4:17Speaker 3: and I've seen every possible angle of these things out there,
- 4:22Speaker 3: you've got two overlying marks and they run. One particularly
- 4:28Speaker 3: runs parallel to the shoulders. What do I mean by that?
- 4:32Speaker 3: The mark is here. It goes straight back. If someone
- 4:36Speaker 3: were to take their own life, it would pitch up.
- 4:39Speaker 3: That's called tinting feature. And there is another mark. that
- 4:43Speaker 3: runs slightly upward at an angle, but it is not
- 4:47Speaker 3: sufficient to be defined as tinting feature, which you see
- 4:51Speaker 3: with self-inflicted ligatures. Now, you go under the skin, okay?
- 4:58Speaker 3: You go under the skin, and this is critical, Nancy.
- 5:02Speaker 3: There are two separate fractures in the cartilage in the
- 5:07Speaker 3: neck right here, all right? One's on this side, one's
- 5:11Speaker 3: on the other side, and then Then you have, you know,
- 5:16Speaker 3: the little bone that we always talk about, the only
- 5:19Speaker 3: non-articulating bone in the whole human body, the hyoid, shaped
- 5:24Speaker 3: like a horseshoe. Greater left horn is fractured. That's way, way, way, way,
- 5:31Speaker 3: way up in the neck. You know, when we see this, Nancy,
- 5:34Speaker 3: we see it with manual strangulation. So you can go
- 5:39Speaker 3: on and on. You can prattle on and on and say, well, yeah,
- 5:42Speaker 3: this is consistent. with him having ended himself. However, you'll
- 5:48Speaker 3: never convince me. You know who else you're not going
- 5:50Speaker 3: to convince? My friend, Dr. Michael Bodden. And there are
- 5:53Speaker 3: a lot of other people out there you're never going
- 5:56Speaker 3: to convince either.
- 5:57Speaker 4: There were fractures of the left, the right thyroid cartilage,
- 6:03Speaker 4: and the left hyoid bone. I have never seen three
- 6:09Speaker 4: fractures like this in a suicidal hanging. Sometimes there's a
- 6:14Speaker 4: fracture of the higher bone or a fracture of the
- 6:17Speaker 4: thyroid cartilage. Going over, over a thousand jail hangings in
- 6:22Speaker 4: the New York City state prisons over the past 40,
- 6:25Speaker 4: 50 years, no one had three fractures.
- 6:28Speaker 1: So Scott, can you address the bruises on his body
- 6:31Speaker 1: that his brother Mark Epstein discussed? Epstein, Mark Epstein insists
- 6:36Speaker 1: the bruises could not have been self-inflicted. And I agree. Yeah.
- 6:41Speaker 3: How do you even explain that? I'm glad that Mark
- 6:43Speaker 3: brought that up. You know, you've got these areas that
- 6:48Speaker 3: have been impacted. And we talk about bruises, right, Nancy?
- 6:52Speaker 3: Fancy $ 10 word, contusion. That means you have to have
- 6:56Speaker 3: direct contact. You have to have a direct blow to
- 7:00Speaker 3: that area. We've all bumped into furniture. we've bumped into
- 7:04Speaker 3: the side of a wall, we've fallen down. And listen,
- 7:09Speaker 3: if what they're saying here, if what they're saying is
- 7:12Speaker 3: this was actually generated as a result of being in
- 7:16Speaker 3: this position, you can't explain that. And also it almost
- 7:21Speaker 3: looks as though that it's very, there's a very focal area.
- 7:25Speaker 3: It's not widespread and diffuse. It's kind of a concentrated area.
- 7:29Speaker 3: So to me, That implies that there was a direct impact.
- 7:34Speaker 3: I don't know if it was generated by hand or
- 7:36Speaker 3: I have no idea, but it just does not marry
- 7:41Speaker 3: up with the story that they're trying to sell everybody on,
- 7:44Speaker 3: on this being a self-inflicted event.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Straight out to special guest joining us tonight, Mark Epstein.
- 7:51Speaker 1: This is Jeffrey Epstein's brother. He, along with many, are
- 7:56Speaker 1: convinced Jeffrey Epstein was murdered from behind bars. And it's
- 8:01Speaker 1: not just his blood brother saying that. Multiple medical examiners
- 8:06Speaker 1: and medical professionals, death investigators agree. Mark Epstein, thank you
- 8:11Speaker 1: for being with us tonight.
- 8:13Speaker 5: It's my pleasure. Thank you for having me on.
- 8:16Speaker 1: What was your response when you heard claims that handwriting,
- 8:20Speaker 1: handwriting experts insist your brother wrote the recent note?
- 8:28Speaker 6: I'm surprised to hear that because I was given a
- 8:30Speaker 6: report where they compared that note to three other things
- 8:34Speaker 6: that they know Jeffrey wrote, and they said it's not
- 8:36Speaker 6: the same. But more important than that note, which I'll
- 8:41Speaker 6: get back to, is that I've been talking about the
- 8:44Speaker 6: report that's being done about Jeffrey's murder. They were studying
- 8:48Speaker 6: the autopsy like it should have been studied years ago.
- 8:53Speaker 6: And the report will be out soon. It's currently being peer-reviewed,
- 8:56Speaker 6: but I've been read part of that report. Again, the
- 8:59Speaker 6: report is not being done on my behalf. I'm not
- 9:01Speaker 6: paying for this. It's independent pathologists. And they've inclusively... decided
- 9:07Speaker 6: that Jeffrey could not have taken himself out because due
- 9:11Speaker 6: to the injuries and bruises on his body, they could
- 9:14Speaker 6: not have been self-inflicted. So they know for a fact
- 9:17Speaker 6: that he was killed because he could not have done
- 9:20Speaker 6: it himself. Now, if we go back to the note,
- 9:24Speaker 6: this note is sort of after the July incident happened.
- 9:28Speaker 6: where they thought they were saying there was an attempt
- 9:30Speaker 6: by Jeffrey to take himself out.
- 9:33Speaker 5: Now, we know that's not the case. We know that
- 9:35Speaker 5: his cellmate roughed him up.
- 9:37Speaker 6: And after that incident in July, Jeffrey reported that his
- 9:41Speaker 6: cellmate roughed him up. And that's documented. You can find
- 9:44Speaker 6: that in the reports, in the files. Later, soon thereafter,
- 9:48Speaker 6: he recanted. And then he said he couldn't remember what happened.
- 9:52Speaker 5: You know, what happened?
- 9:53Speaker 6: He changed his story because he didn't want to be
- 9:56Speaker 6: retaliated against.
- 9:58Speaker 5: It's one thing to be in prison. as a pedophile.
- 10:01Speaker 6: It's also not a good thing to be in prison
- 10:03Speaker 6: as a snitch. So he said he didn't remember what happened.
- 10:07Speaker 6: That's why he was taken off of watch so quickly.
- 10:10Speaker 6: Now that we know, we know that it was not
- 10:13Speaker 6: an attempt to take himself out. Therefore, there would be
- 10:16Speaker 6: no reason for there to be a note of that kind.
- 10:20Speaker 1: What about the fact, Mr. Baggett, guys, joining us is
- 10:23Speaker 1: a preeminent handwriting expert, Bart Baggett. You said fast, but
- 10:29Speaker 1: this note did not appear for years. You mentioned it
- 10:34Speaker 1: was hard for your students to pull off a fake note.
- 10:39Speaker 1: But what if it was an expert like yourself that
- 10:43Speaker 1: had months and months, maybe even years, to write the note?
- 10:48Speaker 7: That's a whole different equation. You talk about counterfeit paintings,
- 10:51Speaker 7: counterfeit money, counterfeit notes. If you have time and you
- 10:55Speaker 7: have expertise and you have access to his writing, you
- 10:59Speaker 7: could practice for years. I think the only cases that
- 11:01Speaker 7: have been really, really hard in the 30 years is
- 11:04Speaker 7: when a wife forges the husband's name because they've been
- 11:07Speaker 7: working together for 30 years. So she's got like years
- 11:10Speaker 7: of practice. Those cases are a little harder. And I
- 11:13Speaker 7: think what's interesting is not only is the handwriting so similar,
- 11:17Speaker 7: such as the letter forms, the A, the quickness, they've
- 11:21Speaker 7: obviously created such a fast thing. The words are the same.
- 11:25Speaker 7: They've got phrases that come directly from email. So you
- 11:28Speaker 7: have to ask yourself that question, who had access to
- 11:32Speaker 7: understand these phrasings and words and explanation marks? The only
- 11:36Speaker 7: way to craft a note this good to get past
- 11:40Speaker 7: my professional eyes is to have access to all those
- 11:43Speaker 7: files and then submitted into evidence at the appropriate time.
- 11:47Speaker 7: Are you insinuating this note was written five years later?
- 11:49Speaker 1: And who would have had those files? Dave Mack, joining us,
- 11:52Speaker 1: Crime Stories investigative reporter. Who would have had the files?
- 11:57Speaker 5: Nancy.
- 11:59Speaker 8: The files have been handled in particular here by Nick
- 12:02Speaker 8: Tartaglione and his defense team as they're trying to fight
- 12:08Speaker 8: his conviction on the murder charges that he is sitting with.
- 12:13Speaker 8: He's the guy who said he found the note in
- 12:15Speaker 8: his little book after everything went down. All of this
- 12:21Speaker 8: is found by the same guy, the only one who
- 12:23Speaker 8: benefits by it being written by Epstein.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Bart Baggett, let me understand. After your review, you believe
- 12:30Speaker 1: the notes are genuine, but you have a concern?
- 12:35Speaker 5: Yes.
- 12:35Speaker 7: So what I stated and what I think all forensic
- 12:38Speaker 7: experts would say is these two notes found in the
- 12:42Speaker 7: jail cell were written by the same person. However, even
- 12:46Speaker 7: if that person was Jeffrey, which the evidence points to it,
- 12:50Speaker 7: that doesn't mean he unalived himself. I think people are
- 12:53Speaker 7: making the assumptions that if he wrote this note, then
- 12:56Speaker 7: that narrative is true.
- 12:57Speaker 9: I don't buy that.
- 12:59Speaker 10: Why?
- 13:00Speaker 7: Because the note itself is not typically what we would
- 13:03Speaker 7: think of as a one of those notes. There's no depression.
- 13:07Speaker 7: There's no sadness. There's nothing about the typical notes that
- 13:10Speaker 7: I've seen when someone does that. I don't think psychologically
- 13:14Speaker 7: he was ready to go.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Barry Levine, I know you have written the book, the
- 13:22Speaker 1: definitive book on Epstein's multi-multi-million dollars schemes all over the world,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and now we find out he's meeting with Putin, as
- 13:31Speaker 1: in Vladimir Putin, and sets up a honey trap, likely
- 13:36Speaker 1: with all of these young girls to be used for
- 13:40Speaker 1: gathering intelligence. It's just, it's mind boggling. That's a whole
- 13:44Speaker 1: nother can of worms, but it's not confusing because we've
- 13:47Speaker 1: got Leon Black billionaire, but as in brother billionaire pays
- 13:53Speaker 1: 62 mil to us Virgin islands for claims on his
- 13:59Speaker 1: financial dealings with Epstein. And after he pays off 62 mil,
- 14:04Speaker 1: he walks free on alleged sex trafficking girls. That's not
- 14:11Speaker 1: confusing to me. I think I understand exactly what happened.
- 14:16Speaker 10: This thing, you may think it's clear, but to the
- 14:21Speaker 10: Justice Department, they say that they cannot corroborate enough to
- 14:28Speaker 10: bring any charges against any other individuals besides Ghislaine Maxwell.
- 14:33Speaker 5: Okay, hold on.
- 14:34Speaker 1: I think I know somebody that's going to disagree, and
- 14:36Speaker 1: that would be Lynn Shaw. She is the founder and
- 14:39Speaker 1: director of Lynn's Warriors, a nonprofit. She's not making money
- 14:44Speaker 1: off this. organization dedicated to ending abuse and trafficking of girls.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Do you understand what happened? Because I do. He paid
- 14:54Speaker 1: $ 62 million and he walked free. No criminal charges were
- 14:59Speaker 1: ever even considered.
- 15:03Speaker 9: Absolutely. It is the same thing I continually say, which
- 15:06Speaker 9: is money talks and crime walks. This is a very clear,
- 15:10Speaker 9: simple case to see. However, there are so many complicit
- 15:14Speaker 9: people from different governments around the world, our own government,
- 15:18Speaker 9: the Department of Justice. We just had the Epstein Files
- 15:21Speaker 9: Transparency Act. Everybody was applauding in Washington. Where have we
- 15:25Speaker 9: really gone with all of this? The only person we
- 15:27Speaker 9: have in jail is Ghislaine Maxwell. There are so many others,
- 15:31Speaker 9: and these files are showing us what our victims for
- 15:34Speaker 9: years came forward and told us about everything from orgies,
- 15:38Speaker 9: underage girls, so everything. All we needed was proof. The
- 15:42Speaker 9: proof is coming forward, remains to be seen, but this
- 15:45Speaker 9: is the tip of the iceberg.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Shrouded in the Fifth Amendment, will Ghislaine Maxwell finally cough
- 15:51Speaker 1: up the names of 25 or more mystery men that
- 15:56Speaker 1: could face charges? Again, joining us, an all-star panel, including
- 16:01Speaker 1: an Epstein survivor who is speaking out tonight. But first,
- 16:06Speaker 1: to Sydney Sumner, joining us, Crime Stories investigative reporter, And
- 16:09Speaker 1: she is joining us outside the federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas. Sydney,
- 16:16Speaker 1: explain to me the jailhouse scandal.
- 16:21Speaker 11: Well, Nancy, almost a year ago, Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred
- 16:25Speaker 11: from a low-security prison in Tallahassee to the prison camp
- 16:30Speaker 11: directly behind me in Bryan, Texas. This is a low
- 16:34Speaker 11: security prison camp, minimum security prison camp, where Ghislaine has
- 16:39Speaker 11: bottled water, an unlimited supply of toilet paper. There's access
- 16:44Speaker 11: to programs like a puppy training program. There's other inmates
- 16:49Speaker 11: who are allowed to learn vocations such as nursing and
- 16:53Speaker 11: leave the property on a regular basis. And we're hearing
- 16:56Speaker 11: things like she's getting extremely preferential treatment, walking down the
- 17:00Speaker 11: entire prison anytime she has visitors.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Joining us tonight is a special guest. It's Haley Robson,
- 17:08Speaker 1: an Epstein survivor. She is part of an organization called
- 17:13Speaker 1: the Survivors, Inc., supporting survivors. sex assault and trafficking survivors. Haley,
- 17:19Speaker 1: I'm just curious what your reaction is to Ghislaine Maxwell's,
- 17:24Speaker 1: and there's more to it, her prison scandal over, let
- 17:29Speaker 1: me just say, against all existing rules. She is a
- 17:34Speaker 1: sex trafficker convicted. That's a violent crime. You, of all people,
- 17:40Speaker 1: can speak to that violence. Why is she at Bryan's?
- 17:46Speaker 12: I have said this since the very beginning. And when
- 17:48Speaker 12: I was at the Capitol Hill, I brought it to
- 17:50Speaker 12: not only the Democratic Party, but I've said this in
- 17:55Speaker 12: front of several individuals in Congress on both sides of
- 17:58Speaker 12: the spectrum. And I've said, why are we not putting
- 18:01Speaker 12: Ghislaine Maxwell back in prison? Todd Blanche keeps denying that
- 18:05Speaker 12: he went down there and made a deal with her,
- 18:07Speaker 12: which doesn't make sense to me, considering she should automatically
- 18:11Speaker 12: be precluded from this type of environment when she has
- 18:16Speaker 12: created a or committed a extremely violent act and not
- 18:20Speaker 12: just an extremely violent act, an act against children and
- 18:23Speaker 12: young women.
- 18:24Speaker 3: It's absurd.
- 18:25Speaker 12: I'm not buying it. Todd Blanch can go choke on
- 18:28Speaker 12: a cactus with this whole entire administration.
- 18:31Speaker 11: The jig is up.
- 18:32Speaker 12: We know there was a deal to be made. And
- 18:33Speaker 12: if I am absolutely wrong, then put her back in prison.
- 18:38Speaker 12: Why has that not been done yet? How come we
- 18:41Speaker 12: don't know who made that deal? Who made that phone call?
- 18:44Speaker 12: And on top of that, this happened in Florida. So furthermore,
- 18:49Speaker 12: I want to know on a state level who was
- 18:52Speaker 12: involved in making that deal or who at least knew
- 18:54Speaker 12: about it. Who knew she was being moved? This is
- 18:58Speaker 12: Absolutely absurd.
- 18:59Speaker 1: So many people have been dragged, and I mean innocent people,
- 19:04Speaker 1: into Epstein's cesspool. I'm talking about Melinda Gates. How did
- 19:13Speaker 1: she get dragged into this?
- 19:16Speaker 13: Bill Clinton is one of the most frequently pictured with Epstein.
- 19:20Speaker 13: One set shows Clinton lounging shirtless in a hot tub
- 19:22Speaker 13: with Maxwell and a second woman, whose identity is hidden.
- 19:25Speaker 13: Clinton also pictured arm-in-arm with Epstein wearing a festive shirt
- 19:29Speaker 13: at a dinner and again beaming on Epstein's plane next
- 19:32Speaker 13: to Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.
- 19:34Speaker 2: In an email written to himself, Epstein makes shocking claims.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Bill Gates contracted an STD sleeping with Russian girls and
- 19:43Speaker 2: turned to the financier for help securing antibiotics to slip
- 19:46Speaker 2: to Melinda to cover up his infidelity. The link message
- 19:50Speaker 2: lashes out at Gates for ending their friendship, reading, to
- 19:54Speaker 2: add insult to injury, you then implore me to please
- 19:57Speaker 2: delete the emails regarding your STD, your request that I
- 20:01Speaker 2: provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda,
- 20:05Speaker 2: and the description of your penis.
- 20:08Speaker 14: We walked into that clinic where they're giving that money
- 20:10Speaker 14: out to these people that are in the most dire
- 20:12Speaker 14: straits of poverty and sickness. It told them that the
- 20:16Speaker 14: money was coming from a, what.
- 20:17Speaker 5: Are you, class three sexual predator? Tier one.
- 20:20Speaker 14: Tier one's the highest and worst?
- 20:22Speaker 5: No, I'm the lowest. You're the lowest.
- 20:24Speaker 14: Okay, tier one, you're the lowest, but a criminal.
- 20:26Speaker 5: Yes.
- 20:27Speaker 14: That the money came from them. What percentage of people
- 20:29Speaker 14: do you estimate would say, I don't care, I want
- 20:32Speaker 14: the money for my children?
- 20:33Speaker 5: I would say everyone said, I want the money for
- 20:35Speaker 5: my children.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Josh Boswell joining us. He is chief investigative reporter, Daily Mail. Josh,
- 20:43Speaker 1: is Lisa Phillips, Epstein's survivor, telling the truth? Is there
- 20:47Speaker 1: any reason to doubt her? I mean, we know that
- 20:51Speaker 1: he was obsessed with cameras. He had them everywhere he lived,
- 20:55Speaker 1: on his yacht, you name it. So where's all that?
- 20:59Speaker 15: It is an excellent question. We have heard from the
- 21:03Speaker 15: DOJ that they've released everything, according to them. But then
- 21:07Speaker 15: Democrats are saying, no, there's another two and a half
- 21:11Speaker 15: million files that should have been released that weren't. Maybe
- 21:14Speaker 15: that data, those videos, that content is there. But in
- 21:19Speaker 15: terms of whether we should believe Lisa, I mean, what
- 21:23Speaker 15: she is saying is it corroborates other things that we've
- 21:28Speaker 15: heard from other victims. When you look at the pattern
- 21:31Speaker 15: of behavior by Epstein, all of these photos, he's clearly
- 21:33Speaker 15: being very careful to document all of these famous and
- 21:36Speaker 15: powerful people that he's bringing into his homes, that he's
- 21:39Speaker 15: bringing onto his island, that he is getting involved with
- 21:42Speaker 15: these young women, sometimes girls, minors. And if you look
- 21:47Speaker 15: at that pattern of behavior, it is consistent with someone
- 21:51Speaker 15: who is running a honeypot scheme. And that's exactly what
- 21:55Speaker 15: was alleged. by people in the intelligence community. Daily Mail,
- 21:59Speaker 15: we broke a story over the weekend that we're talking
- 22:02Speaker 15: to intelligence experts, people in the intelligence community who believe
- 22:06Speaker 15: that Epstein was running this as a human trafficking ring
- 22:09Speaker 15: to ensnare rich and powerful people, possibly for blackmail purposes.
- 22:13Speaker 15: And there are a lot of between him and Putin.
- 22:16Speaker 15: We have to ask these questions. Is there that compromise there?
- 22:20Speaker 15: Are there these videos? The DOJ has, potentially. According to Lisa,
- 22:24Speaker 15: that's what she's saying. and that they're not releasing. We
- 22:27Speaker 15: need to know.
- 22:29Speaker 1: As we've discussed several times before, Mark Epstein, I have
- 22:32Speaker 1: always thought from day one that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered
- 22:36Speaker 1: behind bars. And the single most convincing fact for me
- 22:42Speaker 1: has nothing to do with politics. It has nothing to
- 22:46Speaker 1: do with malfeasance or misconduct or bad guards, bad cameras, nothing.
- 22:53Speaker 1: It has to do with the facts. It has to
- 22:56Speaker 1: do with the markings on your brother's neck. I have handled, prosecuted,
- 23:03Speaker 1: and investigated, and covered more homicides than I can count.
- 23:09Speaker 1: I can't even remember them all. When a person is
- 23:12Speaker 1: strangled by ligature, ligature strangulation, you will see a straight
- 23:20Speaker 1: across marking on the neck, typically furrowed. where the ligature,
- 23:27Speaker 1: be it a rope, a stocking, furrows into the skin.
- 23:34Speaker 1: When an individual takes their own life, you will see
- 23:38Speaker 1: a smiley mark from ear down toward the Adam's apple
- 23:44Speaker 1: and to the other ear because of the positioning of
- 23:48Speaker 1: the rope, if it is a rope. So the marking
- 23:52Speaker 1: on your brother's neck, the first time I saw it,
- 23:56Speaker 1: from having handled so many homicides, I did not believe
- 24:00Speaker 1: it could be anything other than homicide.
- 24:03Speaker 6: Yes, well, you're correct about the mark on his neck,
- 24:05Speaker 6: but there's other injuries to his body and other bruises
- 24:09Speaker 6: that could not have been self-inflicted. And this was either
- 24:11Speaker 6: overlooked or ignored by Dr. Samson, who was the chief
- 24:15Speaker 6: medical examiner, who said that Jeffrey took himself out. And
- 24:20Speaker 6: let me be really clear, she never saw Jeffrey's body.
- 24:25Speaker 6: She wasn't in the office that day. The two pathologists
- 24:29Speaker 6: that did the autopsy both came out saying this looks
- 24:32Speaker 6: like a homicide.
- 24:33Speaker 5: They wouldn't call it.
- 24:35Speaker 6: And the report coming out goes much deeper into the
- 24:38Speaker 6: marks and bruises on Jeffrey's body.
- 24:40Speaker 5: You know, the other reason people are.
- 24:42Speaker 6: Calling this, saying that he took himself out, you know,
- 24:46Speaker 6: Barbara Sampson made that statement within days after Jeffrey died.
- 24:51Speaker 6: And Bill Barr, the attorney general, came out and publicly
- 24:55Speaker 6: stated that he personally watched the videotape from the camera.
- 25:00Speaker 5: That was outside of the tier.
- 25:02Speaker 6: And he saw that nobody went in or out of
- 25:04Speaker 6: the tier and that convinced him it was a. Those
- 25:07Speaker 6: are the two reasons people think this was a Barbara
- 25:11Speaker 6: Sampson statement.
- 25:12Speaker 5: And Bill Barr statement.
- 25:13Speaker 6: Now, if you look at Bill Barr's statement, first of all,
- 25:17Speaker 6: with the recent release of the videotape, you could see that,
- 25:20Speaker 6: number one, you cannot see the door to the tier.
- 25:24Speaker 5: That he was referring to.
- 25:25Speaker 6: And it's been shown many times that people could get
- 25:28Speaker 6: to that door and leave from that door without being
- 25:31Speaker 6: caught by that camera.
- 25:33Speaker 5: So just what the was he talking about? We also have.
- 25:36Speaker 6: Now seen in the middle of the night that orange
- 25:38Speaker 6: person going up the stairs, because you can only see
- 25:41Speaker 6: the left side of the staircase.
- 25:43Speaker 5: So obviously somebody went up the stairs.
- 25:46Speaker 6: So again, what the was Bill Barr talking about when
- 25:48Speaker 6: he said nobody went in or out?
- 25:50Speaker 5: Somebody went up there.
- 25:52Speaker 6: Also, Bill Barr completely ignored the possibility that somebody already
- 25:57Speaker 6: on the tier in another cell could have gotten to Jeffrey,
- 26:01Speaker 6: done something, gone back into his cell without having to
- 26:04Speaker 6: go and come from the tier. A few months after
- 26:07Speaker 6: the death, I was told by a source that cell
- 26:10Speaker 6: doors were left.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Unlocked that night. I don't know how many. I don't
- 26:14Speaker 5: know whose.
- 26:15Speaker 6: But supposedly this information came from a lawyer of one
- 26:18Speaker 6: of the other inmates on the tier. So it makes
- 26:21Speaker 6: perfect sense when you put it all together that somebody
- 26:23Speaker 6: already on the tier could have done this. Also, to
- 26:27Speaker 6: think that somebody could get to that cell door, the
- 26:30Speaker 6: tier door, go in the tier, commit a crime, and
- 26:34Speaker 6: leave completely undetected is kind of asinine. So Bill Barr's
- 26:38Speaker 6: entire conclusion is based on bullshit. And it wouldn't hold
- 26:41Speaker 6: up in a court of law. And it wouldn't hold
- 26:43Speaker 6: up in a kindergarten class.
- 26:45Speaker 1: So you believe, Mark, that this so-called handwritten note, now
- 26:50Speaker 1: unsealed by a federal judge, is really a fake intended
- 26:55Speaker 1: to corroborate the official ruling your brother took his life
- 27:01Speaker 1: while waiting for a trial. You believe the note is
- 27:05Speaker 1: a fake.
- 27:06Speaker 6: Yes, I believe that the government knows, just like you
- 27:09Speaker 6: now know, that this report is coming out that will
- 27:12Speaker 6: prove that Jeffrey did.
- 27:14Speaker 5: Not take his own life.
- 27:14Speaker 6: It'll prove it conclusively that Jeffrey could not have taken
- 27:18Speaker 6: his own life, as they say. So I believe this
- 27:20Speaker 6: is their attempt now to sow doubt about this report,
- 27:24Speaker 6: because this is going to be very damning when this
- 27:27Speaker 6: report comes out. So now they're trying to put doubt
- 27:29Speaker 6: in people's minds. It's like a propaganda thing. Yeah, I
- 27:31Speaker 6: don't believe the note. is real because, again, since there
- 27:35Speaker 6: was no prior attempt in July on Jeffrey's part to
- 27:40Speaker 6: take his own life, why would he have written such
- 27:43Speaker 6: a note?
- 27:44Speaker 5: It doesn't make sense to me or to anybody else
- 27:46Speaker 5: who looks at it that way.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Mark, you have not sat back and digested what was
- 27:55Speaker 1: being spoon-fed to you by the feds or the media. Yeah.
- 28:00Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your analysis before I begin peppering
- 28:04Speaker 1: you with questions as to whether your brother, Jeffrey Epstein,
- 28:09Speaker 1: committed suicide.
- 28:11Speaker 16: Well, that doesn't seem to be a question anymore. It
- 28:14Speaker 16: was not a suicide. If you go back in time,
- 28:17Speaker 16: when Jeffrey was first autopsied the day after they found
- 28:21Speaker 16: his body, the initial death certificate said, under cause of death,
- 28:27Speaker 16: pending further study. They wouldn't call it a suicide or
- 28:31Speaker 16: a homicide at that point in time. But both of
- 28:33Speaker 16: the pathologists that were there at the autopsy, Dr. Kristen Roman,
- 28:39Speaker 16: who was a city pathologist whose autopsy it was, and
- 28:42Speaker 16: Michael Barton, who was there on my behalf, they came
- 28:45Speaker 16: out of the autopsy saying that they couldn't call it
- 28:48Speaker 16: a suicide because it looked too much like a homicide.
- 28:51Speaker 16: That's what they said.
- 28:53Speaker 5: I was there. They were talking to me.
- 28:56Speaker 16: That doesn't appear in the government report.
- 29:00Speaker 5: It said pending further study.
- 29:02Speaker 16: When I've spoken to a number of pathologists, they've always
- 29:05Speaker 16: told me that if a death certificate says pending further study,
- 29:09Speaker 16: you don't get an answer usually for weeks or so
- 29:11Speaker 16: because something's being investigated, some studying's being done.
- 29:15Speaker 5: That wasn't done here.
- 29:17Speaker 16: They never investigated Jeffrey's death as anything other than a suicide,
- 29:22Speaker 16: as they called it, Because, you know, the attorney, Bill Barr,
- 29:27Speaker 16: the attorney general at the time, came out and said
- 29:30Speaker 16: that he personally watched the videotape from outside of the
- 29:34Speaker 16: tier because we know the camera in the tier.
- 29:38Speaker 5: Was not working or was not recording. That story has changed.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Straight out to Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University author, Blood
- 29:49Speaker 1: Beneath My Feet on Amazon and star of a hit
- 29:52Speaker 1: podcast series, Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan.
- 29:56Speaker 5: A search.
- 29:59Speaker 1: at Zorro Ranch for at least two girls' bodies. Now,
- 30:05Speaker 1: first of all, hold you, Scott. Dave Mack, Crime Stories
- 30:09Speaker 1: investigative reporter. I just need two words out of you.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Where is Zorro Ranch?
- 30:16Speaker 2: South of Santa Fe, New Mexico, 30 miles.
- 30:20Speaker 1: See, I said two words and then you just blew that.
- 30:23Speaker 1: You blew that up. New Mexico. New Mexico, Joe Scott Morgan.
- 30:28Speaker 1: New Mexico. Here in the U.S. Let me see Joe Scott, please.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Joe Scott, we're not talking about wrongdoing in the U.S.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Virgin Islands or in London or in France or in
- 30:40Speaker 1: the stands. We hear a lot about from Lynn Shaw
- 30:43Speaker 1: where girls are imported. to Lolita Island for Jeffrey Epstein
- 30:49Speaker 1: and all of his clients. But there is no client list.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Forget about that. That's BS. This is here on U.S.
- 30:57Speaker 5: Soil.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Tell me what you know.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Oh, what I know is that they've had an email
- 31:04Speaker 3: that had come in in one of these dumps, in
- 31:07Speaker 3: one of these tranches of data that has been released.
- 31:10Speaker 3: And of course, a lot of it's redacted. But what
- 31:13Speaker 3: was stated is that there are at least two victims,
- 31:16Speaker 3: according to the source, that have gone out and they
- 31:19Speaker 3: have stated that they used to work there at the
- 31:22Speaker 3: Zorro Ranch. They claim that during some kind of wild
- 31:25Speaker 3: perverted sex act that two, not one, but two individuals,
- 31:30Speaker 3: young women, were choked to death, that they were essentially asphyxiated.
- 31:34Speaker 3: And then their remains were taken out onto this property, which, Nancy,
- 31:40Speaker 3: to say it's vast is an understatement. taken out and
- 31:43Speaker 3: they were buried in the hills surrounding this area. It's
- 31:47Speaker 3: very nonspecific. But right now, according to what we're hearing,
- 31:51Speaker 3: there's a search going on of this property looking for
- 31:54Speaker 3: these remains. I have to think about it's looking for
- 31:58Speaker 3: a needle in a stack of needles right now.
- 32:01Speaker 1: To Lynn Shaw joining us, founder, director of Lynn's Warriors. Lynn,
- 32:07Speaker 1: the way the girls were lured there, it's classic. It's textbook.
- 32:12Speaker 1: They were flown there on private planes. They went swimming,
- 32:17Speaker 1: horseback riding, posing for pictures, shopping sprees, and then came
- 32:23Speaker 1: the rape. Yeah.
- 32:26Speaker 9: It's called the grooming process, Nancy, where one gains the
- 32:31Speaker 9: trust of a vulnerable person. And certainly for a young girl,
- 32:36Speaker 9: a teen, a young woman being around power, and wealth,
- 32:40Speaker 9: celebrities or government officials. It's so exciting. I do have
- 32:43Speaker 9: to ask though, and I'm always asking, where were the
- 32:45Speaker 9: parents when all of this was going on? But the
- 32:48Speaker 9: grooming process is simply gaining the trust, giving expensive presents,
- 32:53Speaker 9: treating them like they've never been treated in their life,
- 32:55Speaker 9: making them feel so extra special that these young impressionable
- 33:00Speaker 9: girls and women would do anything Right. To be part
- 33:03Speaker 9: of this. So the next step is, OK, we're going
- 33:05Speaker 9: to fly off to the ranch. We're going to have
- 33:07Speaker 9: a great time. We're going to go horseback riding. We're
- 33:09Speaker 9: going to have a chef. We're going to have massages
- 33:11Speaker 9: and we're going to have, you know, mani pedis and
- 33:13Speaker 9: all kinds of stuff and shopping. OK, that happens for
- 33:16Speaker 9: a little while and then they go in. Typical, you know,
- 33:20Speaker 9: predator for the kill. And the girls are trapped. The
- 33:23Speaker 9: young women are trapped. Again, as I was told repeatedly,
- 33:27Speaker 9: there was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. They couldn't
- 33:30Speaker 9: get away. I, in my mind, have nightmares about girls.
- 33:34Speaker 9: One actually told me she tried running and running and running,
- 33:37Speaker 9: and they caught up to her and grabbed her and
- 33:39Speaker 9: brought her back to the house. This is what she
- 33:41Speaker 9: reported to me. So after all of this, there was
- 33:44Speaker 9: nowhere for them to go. And remember, there was also
- 33:46Speaker 9: an airstrip on this property. A source of mine just
- 33:49Speaker 9: told me to look at this property and to properly
- 33:53Speaker 9: do digs and things like that would actually be eight
- 33:56Speaker 9: and a half to nine years to properly look over
- 33:59Speaker 9: all these thousands of acres. This is a sexual predator,
- 34:02Speaker 9: Ghislaine Maxwell, all of their complicit people with them. I
- 34:06Speaker 9: have to end with in asking you, why do we
- 34:09Speaker 9: have to keep begging for files to be released? names
- 34:12Speaker 9: to be released. These victims have told us names over
- 34:15Speaker 9: the years. Let's go and find them. Let's, you know,
- 34:18Speaker 9: charge them with something. Let's ask them to show us.
- 34:21Speaker 9: Let's question people. I do not understand the.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Holdup, but you know what?
- 34:25Speaker 9: I fear we will never get to the bottom of
- 34:27Speaker 9: this crime ever.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Speaking of the victims at Zorro Ranch that many people
- 34:34Speaker 1: are just now hearing about, and this is happening under
- 34:38Speaker 1: our own noses on U.S.
- 34:40Speaker 5: Soil. Listen.
- 34:41Speaker 17: And I suddenly realized I had to like just be
- 34:45Speaker 17: nice and be friendly because I realized that I was
- 34:48Speaker 17: in great danger. And he's assaulting you and the other
- 34:51Speaker 17: women there.
- 34:51Speaker 1: And they're laughing.
- 34:52Speaker 17: Yeah, they saw and they just laughed. I was really,
- 34:55Speaker 17: really petrified. And, you know, it just really changed me,
- 34:58Speaker 17: the whole thing, you know, going through this. And I
- 35:03Speaker 17: just didn't know what to do. And I just really
- 35:05Speaker 17: thought that I was going to die.
- 35:07Speaker 1: That is Juliet Bryant, an Epstein victim, speaking to our
- 35:11Speaker 1: friends at Sky News.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Dr.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, it's classic. It's textbook luring. Money was nothing
- 35:20Speaker 1: to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- 35:22Speaker 16: Nothing.
- 35:23Speaker 1: She stood by and watched this happen. She lured the
- 35:26Speaker 1: girls there. She took part in the assaults. And now
- 35:29Speaker 1: she's sitting in club fed, running the jail. But this
- 35:34Speaker 1: is classic. You know, Nancy, it is classic.
- 35:38Speaker 18: And to add to what Lynn Shaw said, which was
- 35:41Speaker 18: so profound and riveting to just to listen to her,
- 35:44Speaker 18: you know, pedophiles also, they, they lure other pedophiles too.
- 35:49Speaker 18: So there was a whole group of people on this
- 35:52Speaker 18: ranch who were in on it. It's like it was
- 35:54Speaker 18: operating like a cult in a sense where all the
- 35:57Speaker 18: benefits flow to the leader. But I think another thing
- 36:01Speaker 18: that Jeffrey Epstein did to lure these girls is that he, he,
- 36:05Speaker 18: propped himself up as this kind of guru, and he
- 36:09Speaker 18: started giving them advice about their future. That's a little
- 36:13Speaker 18: bit like P.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Diddy, right?
- 36:14Speaker 18: You know, I'll make you a star. I'm going to
- 36:16Speaker 18: give you a singing contract. This guy, Epstein, was so
- 36:21Speaker 18: good at getting money from other people, and he lorded
- 36:25Speaker 18: over these girls and made them feel like they would
- 36:27Speaker 18: be rich and famous too. And by the time he
- 36:30Speaker 18: began molesting them, Nancy, a part of the grooming process
- 36:34Speaker 18: began is that for the victim, confusion sets in. These
- 36:38Speaker 18: girls would have told themselves, well, I went here voluntarily.
- 36:41Speaker 18: I enjoyed the mani-pedis and the movies and the cash.
- 36:45Speaker 18: And I did tell him that I wanted him to
- 36:47Speaker 18: be a part of my future. Maybe I caused this
- 36:50Speaker 18: to happen. That is the confusion of the victim until
- 36:54Speaker 18: the terror sets in and they try to get away.
- 36:57Speaker 18: And then they are in this isolated place. You know, Nancy,
- 37:00Speaker 18: it's like the... The FLDS cult, remember when the women
- 37:06Speaker 18: tried to get away, other cult members actually went after them,
- 37:10Speaker 18: attacked them, brought them back, tortured them, brutalized them. So
- 37:16Speaker 18: there's going to be an intimidation process on this ranch
- 37:18Speaker 18: that when the girls try to get away, they're brought
- 37:21Speaker 18: back and probably beaten and tortured even more. There was
- 37:26Speaker 18: no getting out of it at that point. The noose
- 37:28Speaker 18: was around their neck, metaphorically and literally.
- 37:30Speaker 5: Right.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell, how is it that she can clam up
- 37:35Speaker 1: and sit at Club Fed running the place, having every
- 37:39Speaker 1: perk possible, and nothing's happening while we are looking for
- 37:44Speaker 1: bodies at Zorro Ranch? To Dave Mack joining us, what
- 37:50Speaker 1: can you tell me about Ghislaine Maxwell, who's nothing more
- 37:54Speaker 1: than a pimp?
- 37:55Speaker 3: Nancy.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Nancy.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison in Texas and apparently works
- 38:02Speaker 2: out every day but doesn't bathe. The other inmates say
- 38:06Speaker 2: she is so nasty inside and out that prison smells
- 38:10Speaker 2: bad as it is and she's the worst. She doesn't
- 38:14Speaker 2: wait in line in the chow line. She just buffaloes
- 38:17Speaker 2: her way straight through. And you know what, Nancy? The
- 38:19Speaker 2: inmates allow it to happen because, A, she's nasty. B,
- 38:24Speaker 2: the woman has filed 800 complaints in one year against
- 38:30Speaker 2: people and things in the prison. she is known throughout
- 38:34Speaker 2: the prison to get things done by filing complaints and
- 38:38Speaker 2: been very effective at it. One good example is Ghislaine
- 38:43Speaker 2: Maxwell actually taught an etiquette class in prison, then took
- 38:50Speaker 2: 12 weeks, one day a week, teaching law and how
- 38:53Speaker 2: to file things for inmates. Then she actually tried to
- 39:00Speaker 2: take advantage of a religious ceremony where the kitchen staff
- 39:05Speaker 2: was pouring the grape juice for this particular Jewish ceremony,
- 39:08Speaker 2: and Ghislaine wanted to pour her own. And the inmate said,
- 39:12Speaker 2: you're not coming in the kitchen. I know you don't
- 39:14Speaker 2: bathe after you work out.
- 39:16Speaker 5: You stink.
- 39:17Speaker 2: You surely aren't washing your hands. You're not coming in here.
- 39:20Speaker 2: The inmate said, within a day, Ghislaine Maxwell was in
- 39:23Speaker 2: the kitchen doing her own thing.
- 39:26Speaker 1: This is DOJ video we've just obtained of her in
- 39:29Speaker 1: her cell. Okay, Dr. Bethany Marshall, explain the stink. Why
- 39:35Speaker 1: is it that we hear about, for instance, Hollywood stars
- 39:38Speaker 1: and really, really rich people, they don't think they have
- 39:41Speaker 1: to bathe?
- 39:43Speaker 18: This is actually a peculiarity of sociopathy. And I'll explain
- 39:49Speaker 18: it to you, Nancy. When you are so grandiose that
- 39:53Speaker 18: you feel that you are at the center of things,
- 39:56Speaker 18: that you're limitless, that everybody looks up to you and
- 39:59Speaker 18: admires you, you feel no need to bathe because you're
- 40:04Speaker 18: such and such doesn't stink, right? That's where that phrase
- 40:07Speaker 18: comes from. You feel that people will admire you no
- 40:12Speaker 18: matter how you look. no matter how you smell, that
- 40:15Speaker 18: you are beloved. And that's why, you know, it's interesting
- 40:19Speaker 18: when I have patients come into my office who are disheveled,
- 40:23Speaker 18: poorly dressed, but maybe they're celebrities.
- 40:26Speaker 1: I do have it.
- 40:27Speaker 18: That's one of the tells or the signs of pathological
- 40:31Speaker 18: narcissism because they are not concerned about how other people
- 40:36Speaker 18: view them because they believe that they are constantly admired.
