Pursuant to a lawful subpoena I obtained Epstein’s pri- vate plane records for 2005 from Jet Aviation. The plane records show arrival and departure of Epstein’s plane at Palm Beach International airport. These records were com- pared to the cell phone records of Sarah Kellen. This compar- ison found that all the phone calls Kellen made to [Dobbs] and the victims were made in the days just prior to their arrival or during the time Epstein was in Palm Beach. Therefore, as Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time of these incidents was fifty one years

JaMEs PATTERSON came to provide a massage. He knew for one of the girls that the girls were still in high school and were of high school age. here was a lot tasked Rodriguez about the massages.

On one occasion Epstein ordered Rodriguez to go to the Dollar rent a car and rent a car for the same girl he brought the roses to, sO that she could drive her self to Epstein’s house without inci- dent. Rodriguez said the girl always needed rides to and an armoire. from the house. Rodriguez produced a green folde Epstein’s stationery with direc- ary’s] High School after r which contained doc- uments, and a note with Mr. tion to deliver a bucket of roses to [M [a] high school drama performance. ... During the course of the investigation, subpoenas were obtained for cell phone and home phone records from several victims and witnesses along with the cell phone records of Sarah Kellen. An analysis of these records was conducted which found numerous telephone calls were made between Sarah Kellen and the victims. These records indicate the dates the calls were made are consistent with the dates and times the victims/witn

Alessi stated that there were times towards the end of his employment that he would have to wash off a mas- sager/vibrator and a long rubber penis, which were in the sink after the massage. Additionally, he stated the bed would almost always have to be made after the massage. On January 4, 2006 I interviewed another former house- man, Mr. Alfredo Rodriguez. During a sworn taped state- ment, Mr. Rodriguez stated he was employed by Jeffrey Epstein for approximately six months, from November 2004 through May of 2005. His responsibilities as house manager included being the butler, chauffeur, chef, houseman [and to] run errands for Epstein and provide for Epstein’s guests.

First Reiter hears through the grapevine that Epstein’s law- yers have hired private investigators to perform background checks. A public-records demand has been filed in an effort to obtain Reiter’s own records. Detective Recarey tells Reiter that he, too, is being surveilled and that his trash has been picked through.

They see photos of naked young girls—in some cases, girls they’ve spoken to about Epstein. They also find message pads on which are written first names, dates, and numbers for the girls. Sometimes there are notes to go with the names and num- bers: “I have girls for him.” Or “I have 2 girls for him.” These notes are signed by one Sarah Kellen. Epstein’s house has a strangely antiseptic quality. Some of the bedrooms look almost like doctors’ offices. In the bathroom off Epstein’s bedroom, there’s a massage table as well as stands holding strange machines, which looked like something yowd find in a dermatologist’s office. In a wood-colored armoire beside Epstein’s bed, they see a bottle of peach-flavored Joy Jelly. In the bathroom, there are soaps shaped like penises and vaginas, bottles of Mango Mist, more Joy Jelly, and boxes of tampons. The officers find stacks of UFC videos and DVDs of Rock
