Once again, Chief Reiter was outraged. So much so that he
took the extraordinary step of calling the FBI and the federal
prosecutor's office.

Florida was a Republican named R. Alexander Acosta. Chief

CHAPTER 48
Michael Reiter: July 2006
n July 28, the grand jury reached a verdict that floored
the Palm Beach PD.
The original plea deal that Krischer had offered to
Epstein had been bad enough. Now the grand jury was recom-
mending that Epstein be charged with just one felony count of
solicitation of prostitution.
There was no mention of underage girls. The original
accusation — four felony counts of unlawful sex acts with minors
and one felony count of lewd and lascivious molestation — had
simply evaporated.
It wasn’t enough to send Epstein to prison.
Epstein was allowed to surrender on a Sunday, when no one
would know he’d been arraigned. A few hours later, he was 4
released on three thousand dollars bail.
The Palm Beach PD was not even notified.

celebrity lawyer— Ken Starr, the former solicitor sineeal who
had had Bill Clinton impeached for perjury — would join Epstein’s
team.
As far as Mary’s parents were concerned, their daughter had
walked into an ambush. Everyone in the courtroom seemed to be
playing defense on the side of Jeffrey Epstein. And as for the sec-
ond girl—Alison, who claimed that she had been raped—she
never testified in court at all.

If Epstein’s legal team had wanted to remove Weiss from the
case, this would have been a good way to do it.
Nine days later, Detective Recarey met with ASA Lanna
Belohlavek, who told him that her boss, Barry Krischer, had asked
her again to take the case to the grand jury. Recarey told Belohlavek
that he had already requested arrest warrants for Epstein, Sarah Kel-
len, and Wendy Dobbs. The Palm Beach PD had finished its investi-
gation months earlier, he said, and had been waiting since then for
the case to move forward. He asked her once more to issue the war-
rants. Once again Belohlavek declined, saying that the original offer
her office had made to Epstein’s old lawyer had been resubmitted to
the new lawyer. When Epstein’s reply came, she would call.
While waiting for that call, Recarey received several calls
from Mary’s father, who told him that he was being followed by a
green Chevrolet Monte Carlo—tailed so aggressively that other
vehicles were being run off the road. Recarey ran the plates and
found that the Chevy was registered to one Zachary Bechard of
Jupiter, Florida.
Bechard was a licensed private eye.
“A funny thing happened in Palm Beach,” says Tim Malloy, who
was working as a TV newscaster in South Florida at the time.

Detective Recarey: May 2006
hief Reiter's letter to the state attorney had no perceptible
effect.
Krischer did not recuse himself from the case. No
arrest warrant was issued. And on the afternoon of May 3, Detec-
live Recarey received a telephone call from assistant state attor-
hey Daliah Weiss, who advised him that she had been taken off
the Epstein case.
We;
eiss had been the perfect person to prosecute Epstein. As a
_ member of the special victims unit, she focused on sex crimes
4 and crimes against children, prosecuting high-profile cases involv-
ing rape, aggravated child abuse, and neglect. But Epstein had

originally, he said, “Let's go for it: this is an adult male in his
fries who's had sexual contact with children of the ages of
the victims.” He said this is somebody who we have to stop.
And whatever we need, he said, in the state attorney’s office,
we have a unit that’s equipped to investigate and prosecute
these kinds of cases. And I didn’t have too many facts early
on when I talked with him, but I knew that there were multi-
ple victims and to our detectives they were believable. So
when time went on and Mr. Epstein became aware of the
investigation and his lawyers contacted the state attorney's
office, they told me that.
And from that point on, and I believe it was Mr. Dershow-
itz initially, the tone and tenor of the discussions of this case
with Mr. Krischer changed completely. [At] one point he sug-
gested that we write [Epstein] a notice to appear, which
would be for a misdemeanor. He just completely changed
from not only our first conversation about this[ — when] he
didn't know the name Jeffrey Epstein—till when he had
been informed on Mr. Epstein’s reputation and his wealth,
and I just thought that very unusual.
I feel like I know him or knew him very well, the state
attorney, and I just felt like he could not objectively make
decisions about this case: that is why I wrote it.

Atty Alan Dershowitz. The offer is 1 count of Agg Assault
with intent to commit a felony, five years probation, with
adjudication withheld. Epstein would have to submit to psy-
chiatric/sexual evaluation and no unsupervised visits with
minors. When asked about all the other victims, ASA
Belohlavek stated that was the only offer made as to one vic-
tim, [Mary]. ASA Belohlavek|’s] cell phone rang and went to
voice mail. She checked her voice mail and played the mes-
sage on speaker. The caller identified himself as Atty Guy
Fronstin and acknowledged the deal made between them.
Fronstin stated in the message, he spoke with his client, Jef-
frey Epstein, and would agree to this deal. Fronstin asked to
call off the grand jury as they would accept this deal.
Belohlavek stated a probable cause would be needed to book
Epstein in the county Jail and would let me know as to when
it was needed. I explained my disapproval of the deal and not
being consulted prior to the deal being offered. However I
expressed that was only my opinion and the final approval
would come from the Chief of Police. She explained to have
Chief Reiter call Barry Krischer about the deal. I left the
area and returned to the police station where I briefed the
Chief about the deal offered.
I checked my voice mail messages and discovered a mes-
sage from [the] stepmother for the victim [Mary]. She was
calling because the State Attorney's Office still had not
returned any of her calls as to when they

CHAPTER 43
Palm Beach Police Department Incident Report Filed
by Detective Joseph Recarey: July 25, 2006
On April 13 and April 14, 2006, I attempted contact on sev-
eral occasions with ASA [assistant state attorney Daliah]
Weiss and ASA [Lanna] Belohlavek to ascertain when the
victims needed to report for Grand Jury testimony. Messages
were left on their voicemail. On April 17, 2006, during the
hours of 9:00 am and 11:30 am I again left messages for ASA
Weiss and ASA Belohlavek for either of them to return my |
call as I had not heard from the State Attorney’s Office as to
the time and date of the Grand Jury.
At approximately 12:30 pm, I went to the State Attor-
ney'’s Office and Located ASA Weiss and ASA Belohlavek in
their offices. I entered ASA Belohlavek’s office who
