A shadowy figure in an orange jumpsuit haunts the final hours of Jeffrey Epstein’s life, captured on grainy prison surveillance footage. The Department of Justice released 11 hours of raw CCTV from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019, revealing a pixelated orange patch moving toward Epstein’s cell block around 10:40 p.m., as the U.S. Sun reports. This chilling image raises questions about what really happened that night.
Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker, was found hanged in his cell on August 10, 2019, with his death ruled a suicide. That night, a mysterious figure appeared on camera, initially claimed by officials to be a guard carrying linens or inmate clothing. The video, riddled with edits and a missing minute, fuels suspicion about the official narrative.
Weeks before his death, Epstein was found unconscious on July 27, 2019, with a bedsheet twisted around his bruised neck. Authorities called it a suicide attempt, yet protocols to protect him were ignored. His cellmate was transferred, and no replacement was assigned, leaving Epstein alone.
Two guards assigned to Epstein’s unit fell asleep and falsified records, neglecting mandatory 30-minute checks. Two cameras outside his cell malfunctioned, and another’s footage was deemed unusable. The Bureau of Prisons’ shoddy oversight invites skepticism about its competence.
The orange figure, visible for seconds on the staircase, was initially dismissed as a guard. Forensic experts now challenge this, suggesting it was an inmate wearing a jumpsuit. Conor McCourt, a retired NYPD sergeant, insists the orange patch indicates a worn garment, not carried linens.
McCourt’s analysis pokes holes in the FBI’s claim that no one entered or exited Epstein’s cell. The cameras’ poor positioning obscured the staircase and cell entrance, making it impossible to confirm the official story. How convenient for those pushing the suicide narrative.
The released footage, spanning 11 hours, was edited multiple times, with a critical minute missing just before midnight. Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed this was due to an “antiquated” nightly reset process. Such excuses strain credulity in a high-profile case demanding transparency.
Bondi’s explanation feels like bureaucratic cover for deeper failures. If the system resets nightly, why wasn’t this disclosed sooner? The public deserves better than flimsy justifications from a prison system that botched its most infamous inmate’s supervision.
Epstein’s lawyers later contested the suicide ruling, pointing to the suspicious circumstances. The failure to photograph his body in its original state violated Bureau of Prisons protocol for suicide scenes. This sloppy handling reeks of either incompetence or something darker.
Forensic expert Jim Safford and four colleagues debunked the idea that the staircase was fully secure. “To say that there’s no way that someone could get to that, the stairs up to his room, without being seen is false,” they stated. Their findings expose the FBI’s conclusions as shaky at best.
Safford’s team highlighted the cameras’ blind spots, which left the staircase and cell entrance out of view. This glaring flaw undermines claims that Epstein was entirely alone. The orange figure’s presence suggests someone could have slipped through undetected.
The official report labeled the figure as the last guard to approach the Special Housing Unit. Yet forensic analysis leans toward an inmate, not a guard, wearing the jumpsuit. This discrepancy fuels doubts about the prison’s account of that fateful night.
Epstein’s cellmate transfer and the guards’ negligence weren’t the only lapses. The failure to follow crime scene protocols for his body’s removal is staggering. For a case this explosive, such oversights are inexcusable.
When guards found Epstein unresponsive, they performed CPR before rushing him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The haste to move him without documentation raises red flags. Was this rush to tidy up the scene deliberate?
The orange figure, missing footage, and systemic failures paint a troubling picture. While the left-leaning media may shrug at these inconsistencies, conservatives demand answers over this high-profile death. The truth, not excuses, must prevail in Epstein’s case.
