The Jeffrey Epstein Files 8: You are the Judge

This is the best independent investigation into what actually happened to Jeffrey Epstein inside that New York prison.  It is the result of a two-year investigation, by Declan Hill and his students, into Jeffrey Epstein's death. We read tens-of-thousands of pages, interviewed dozens of people involved in the case. In this final episode - we show shocking new evidence both for a possible verdict of self-harm or murder.   -  The FBI investigation of Epstein’s death was so bad that they destroyed a rope found inside his cell.  - The prison paperwork shows a potential killer was in Epstein’s Unit that night who left at exactly the time the alleged killing was supposed to have taken place.  -  An independent panel of medical examiners examined photos of Epstein's body and saw contusions, abrasions and bruises - none of them were reported in the official autopsy report. - And we show you a shockingly similar, double-murder of members of Jeffrey Epstein’s political, circle the year before his death. Is there a connection? You are the judge.   On this episode, you get to decide what happened to Jeffrey Epstein inside that cell on the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Manhattan.  If you have followed our CrimeWaves series on Jeffrey Epstein’s death - then you know more than most commentators, journalists and pundits.   After listening to the evidence - vote on the post on the CrimeWaves YouTube site or wherever you get your podcasts with a single word:  Murder - Suicide -Undetermined.  ** CrimeWaves is a TrueCrime podcast based out of the University of New Haven with Associate Professor of Investigations Declan Hill, a former organized crime journalist, and his  students.    CrimeWaves focuses on showing you the world's best investigators and their methods and techniques.   We pride ourselves on our independent, non-political stance with investigations.  Please follow, like, subscribe, rate or review the site.  It is massively important for a small channel like ourselves.  If you would like to see the transcripts or see Declan Hill's other work on organized crime in sports and gambling you can find him at www.declanhill.com or Substack at https://substack.com/@declanhill on Twitter at: declan_hill ** #epsteinfiles, #truecrimepodcast, #epsteininvestigation, #jeffreyepstein, #jeffreyepsteinscandal, #unsolvedmysteries, #truecrimepodcast,  #TrueCrime, #UnsolvedColdCases, TrueCrimePodcast,True Crime Podcast,TrueCrime,True Crime,#TrueCrimePodcast,#True Crime Podcast,#True Crime,Jeffrey Epstein,#Jeffrey Epstein,EpsteinMurder,Epstein Murder,#Epstein Murder,Corruption,Cold Case,ColdCaseMurder,#Cold Case,#Investigations,#Unsolved Murder, #BestInvestigators, #Murder Mystery,#Murdermystery Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1328269/open_sms] Please subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
