A recent report revealed that Jeffrey Epstein hid computers, photographs, and other equipment in storage units across the US, using private detectives to move them around as investigators closed in on him.
Financial records and emails reviewed by The Telegraph showed that Epstein rented at least six storage lockers nationwide, starting in 2003 and continuing until his death in 2019. These units stored items from Epstein’s homes, including computers and CDs from his private Caribbean island, Little Saint James.
Search warrants released by the Justice Department suggested that US authorities may have never raided these storage spaces, potentially containing previously unseen evidence in the sex trafficking case. Epstein had private investigators move materials from his homes to these storage facilities before authorities could execute search warrants at his residences.
Epstein made regular payments to multiple storage facilities, including one near his Palm Beach mansion. Credit card statements uncovered by the outlet also showed payments for a Manhattan storage unit made on Epstein’s behalf by his private investigators.
One email in 2009 revealed that Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre had requested missing computer material. The private investigator informed Epstein about this request, stating that the items were locked in storage and offered to give them to Epstein for review or safekeeping.
Other emails indicated that Epstein directed his private investigators to remove computers from his Florida home after being tipped off about a potential police raid. Some of the material in these storage units could date back earlier than the information released by the DOJ.
