Police Chief/Lead Investigator

Chief of Palm Beach Police Department who led the original 2005-2006 investigation into Epstein. Fought persistently for federal prosecution when the local state attorney moved to reduce charges. Personally provided extensive evidence to the FBI including boxes of physical evidence, VHS tapes, cassette recordings, and microcassettes. His persistence was critical to keeping the case alive through the NPA years until SDNY re-opened it in 2019.

Key Findings

  • EFTA00023673: Provided boxes of evidence to FBI including VHS tapes, cassette recordings, microcassettes, and newspaper articles from Palm Beach PD investigation
  • EFTA00023952: SDNY prosecutors specifically sought Reiter's materials for 2019 case: 'please get us the paper evidence from NY, VI, and Reiter as soon as you can'
  • EFTA00013768: Wrote to prosecutors pushing back against defense disqualification attempts — fought to keep prosecution on track
  • EFTA00022197: FBI coordinated scanning of 'files Reiter provided' — his evidence became foundation of federal case
  • Led original Palm Beach PD investigation that identified multiple victims and documented Epstein's abuse pattern — his work was the seed that eventually led to both the 2007 NPA and the 2019 federal indictment
