Jeffrey Epstein is said to have removed incriminating material from his property and hidden it in secret storage rooms before a police raid in 2005. As the British daily newspaper “Telegraph” reports, the deceased sex offender hired a private detective agency who stored computers, CDs and other items in at least six different storage boxes.

The now published inventory list of one of these storage rooms reveals previously unknown details. In addition to computers and nude photos, there were also manuals for sex slaves, porn magazines with titles like “Just 18” and eleven boxes of sex toys. During an initial search of Epstein’s property in Palm Beach, the police discovered that important evidence was missing.
The then Palm Beach police detective, Michael Reiter, said in an interview with the US broadcaster NBC in 2019 that Epstein’s house had been “cleaned up” before the raid. All the computers with the recordings from the surveillance cameras had disappeared, “and the cables were just hanging around loosely.” Reiter described the approach of the state and federal prosecutors in the Epstein case as “the worst failure of the criminal justice system” today.
Did an insider help Epstein get to the police?
Did Epstein possibly manage to get rid of evidence before the authorities arrived thanks to an insider tip from the same “criminal justice system”? According to the latest report, Epstein hired private detective Riley Kiraly to move the compromising material from his mansions in Palm Beach and New York City to the storage boxes.

In addition to the details mentioned, a list of masseuses, several women’s thongs and a DVD with the title “Sea Gate Kids Reunion September 3rd, 2005” were also hidden there.
According to the report, Epstein paid detectives tens of thousands of dollars to rent one of the storage rooms in New York.
The Riley Kiraly detective agency declined to comment when contacted by the Telegraph, citing the confidentiality of its work for Epstein. The search warrants reviewed by The Telegraph indicate that US authorities did not initially search these storage facilities. There could possibly be previously unknown evidence in the context of the Epstein investigation.
The Paris police recently released previously unknown photos from Epstein’s apartment in the French capital. As the British Times reported earlier this week, several pictures of naked young women hung on the walls of the luxury apartment at one of the most expensive addresses in Paris. The recordings also show a red-clad massage parlor where, according to the Paris public prosecutor’s office, rapes and sexual assaults allegedly took place.
