PBPD Closes 2001 Epstein Case as 'Unfounded' Despite Corroborating Evidence
After five months of investigation — including subpoenas for phone records revealing 11 phone lines at the residence, trash pulls yielding nude photographs, massage directories, and a recruitment list titled 'People that I want you to meet' listing females with ages and descriptions, and student interviews confirming inappropriate conduct including being asked to undress for massages — Palm Beach PD concludes 'no illegal activity has been reported or detected' and drops the case to 'intelligence purposes only.' The investigation would not resume until a separate victim complaint in March 2005, a three-year gap.
