Model, deceased

Kazakhstani model known as 'the Russian Rapunzel' who appeared in Vogue, Elle, and campaigns for Marc Jacobs and DKNY. Epstein said 'I knew her very well.' Publicly available flight logs place her on Epstein's Boeing 727 to his private island on June 7, 2006 at age 18 (not confirmed in EFTA corpus). Found dead after falling from a 9th-floor balcony in Manhattan on June 28, 2008 at age 20. Ruled suicide, no note found, no substances in her system. Epstein discussed her death across eight years (2010-2019), using it as a cautionary tale to manipulate another young woman. Epstein's modeling agent Ramsey Elkholy managed her estate after death.
