Epstein Rented Secret Storage Units That May Hold Unreleased Evidence, Report Suggests

The Department of Justice has released over 3.5 million documents from the Epstein Files, but additional evidence against the convicted s– offender may exist that authorities never confiscated.

According to a report by The Telegraph, Jeffrey Epstein rented at least six secret storage units across the United States where he regularly transferred materials from his residences, including computers and CDs. He began renting one of the units in 2003 and paying for it until his death in a prison cell in 2019.

The storage units have been referenced several times in the recently released Epstein Files, but investigators reportedly never searched them. That has raised questions about whether the storage units may contain evidence related to Epstein's crimes that has not been obtained or declassified yet.

According to the report, Epstein repeatedly moved his computers and hard drives to these units from his private island in the Caribbean. He even hired private investigators to assist. In one instance, after receiving a tip about a possible raid at his home, he directed investigators to transport computers to one of his storage locations.

An email exchange between Epstein and private investigative agency Riley Kiraly indicates the storage units were used to store computers containing sensitive images and videos. In an email dated May 2009, Epstein told investigator Bill Riley, “You were going to send me a copy of [redacted’s] picture.”

Riley replied, “I thought I had a copy of it on my computer but it is in storage with everything else. I will get it out next time I go to the storage unit.” In another email, Riley stated that he had removed computers and paperwork from Epstein’s residence and placed them in the storage.

The revelations have intensified criticism about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein Files. The department is under fire from critics for allegedly withholding millions of documents and redacting information from the released files.

Some observers have long speculated that Epstein stored compromising material involving associates for potential blackmail. The newly reported storage units have renewed those claims, though authorities say no such evidence has been found.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has maintained that they have not unearthed any files that prove Epstein was blackmailing powerful individuals. An internal FBI memo released by the DOJ read, “We are aware of the theories circulated in the media and online that Epstein video recorded the abuse of his victims, including by other men, but we have found no evidence to support that theory.”

“Indeed, had we found such videos, we certainly would have used them as evidence in the criminal cases we investigated and prosecuted, and would have pursued any leads they generated. We did not, however, locate any such videos,” the memo further read.
