FBI email update on Epstein death investigation interviews and SHU video, Sept. 2019

Sir,¶

As it pertains to the death investigation, NYO has completed approximately 30 interviews. We have one more (a CO) scheduled for 9/25. Pending new information, we expect that would conclude our interviews.¶

We have reviewed, in great detail, the one camera angle in the SHU during the pertinent time period leading up to his suicide. We are currently reviewing the same camera angle for the period of 7/23 - 8/10 for the purpose of verifying the completion of the institutional inmate counts which occur five times per day. The purpose here is to determine if the failure to complete counts was in fact a pattern and practice or if the failure on 8/9 was an isolated incident. We expect this review to be completed by early next week.¶

Thanks. The questions as posed by DD to me were a little more comprehensive:¶

EFTA00165486¶

(1) Have we conducted all interviews deemed relevant to the investigation at this point? How many have we done? How many to go? If not all, why not (what’s holding us back)?¶

(2) Have we reviewed all the video (that is accessible, i.e. not corrupted) at this point? If not, why not? Does it include the one pointed at the stairwell to show whether someone accessed/egressed the area via that direction?¶

Per NY PCOR:¶

1. Exploitation of corrupted DVRs is still on-going. The private vendor from the security company was needed to assist with some technical difficulties they encountered. To date, no video has been recovered or viewed from the corrupted DVRs. No estimated time line as to when this will be resolved.

2. CO was proffered of 9/11/19. He admitted that the 10pm count on 8/9/19 was not conducted by himself nor CO TOVA NOEL whom he was working with that night.
