She Googled Him Forty Minutes Before They Found the Body

Is Epstein alive? Maybe – Maybe not.

A guard googled him forty minutes before his body was found.

That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s in the FBI records, just released as part of the DOJ’s massive Epstein files dump. Tova Noel, one of two corrections officers on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, typed “latest on Epstein in jail” into her work computer at 5:42 a.m. on August 10, 2019. Then she googled it again at 5:52 a.m. Her colleague Michael Thomas found Epstein’s body at 6:30 a.m.

She was supposed to be doing rounds.

While we’re at it, Noel was also driving a $62,000 Range Rover on a federal corrections officer salary, had received thousands of dollars in suspicious cash deposits and Zelle payments in the months before Epstein died – including a $5,000 cash deposit ten days before the death – and Chase Bank had filed a report with the FBI flagging the transactions as unusual by November 2019. The DOJ never asked her about the cash during her interview. She was never charged with any crime related to Epstein’s death. She was just fired.

Let that marinate.

There’s also this, reported by Julie K. Brown – the Miami Herald journalist who originally blew the lid off Epstein’s sweetheart deal in Florida – from a five-page handwritten FBI 302 interview with an unnamed inmate at the MCC. This inmate, interviewed under a proffer agreement just two weeks after Epstein died, told agents he heard the commotion that morning around 6:30, heard officers shouting “Breathe! Breathe!” – and then heard one of them say “Dudes, you killed that dude.” A female guard allegedly responded that if he was dead, they’d cover it up and she’d provide her officers with an alibi. The whole tier, the inmate claimed, heard this exchange. He later identified the female officer as Tova Noel. Inmates reportedly started saying “Miss Noel killed Jeffrey.”

The official conclusion remains suicide. Both the NYC Medical Examiner and the DOJ signed off on it.

Here’s what forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden – hired by Epstein’s estate to attend the autopsy – actually found. Three fractures on both sides of Epstein’s larynx. Baden has said bone fractures in a hanging are rare. Multiple fractures are extremely rare. The pattern is far more consistent with strangulation. There were also hemorrhages in Epstein’s eyes, which Baden says are more common in manual strangulation than in hangings. The DOJ, in its official death investigation, wrote that no inmates interviewed had any “credible information” suggesting Epstein’s death was anything other than suicide. That was the same investigation that apparently never got around to asking Noel about the cash in her account.

The surveillance cameras near Epstein’s cell malfunctioned. His cellmate Efrain Reyes had been inexplicably transferred the day before – leaving Epstein alone in violation of protocol, since he’d been flagged as a suicide risk. Financial records in the psychological reconstruction documents show that one of Epstein’s attorneys had been depositing funds into Reyes’s prison commissary account for unknown reasons. Reyes cooperated with FBI investigators after Epstein’s death and was moved to a minimum security facility for cooperating witnesses. He died of COVID in November 2020. All DOJ records related to Reyes were sealed in 2021.

So the man who knew the most about Epstein’s final days is dead, his records are sealed, the guard who was googling him forty minutes before his body was found was never seriously questioned about her bank deposits, the independent forensic pathologist thinks the injuries look like strangulation, and the DOJ has declared the matter closed.

Cool.

The people who knew where all the bodies are buried are mostly unavailable now. Some are dead. Some have been quietly moved through the system. Some are still driving Range Rovers and haven’t been charged with anything.
