Please see the below conversation as a point of reference. I have a POC in the Nashville area that is a retired LA County Sheriff’s Deputy. He spent several years as a homicide detective and worked a few cases that involved inmates hanging themselves with bedding. He said that one piece of evidence that they found helpful was examining the fibers of the bedding under a high powered microscope. He said that if the fibers were all laying the same direction, the most probable explanation was suicide b/c the sheet only moved one direction over whatever object provided the anchored point. If the sheet fibers were laying both directions, it was more likely that a 3rd party was involved in some way b/c the sheet would have been pulled over the anchor point by someone else and then shifted forward from the weight of the individual.

Full disclosure – I have no clue if this is helpful or not. Although I spent my first 12 years on VCMO squad, I have never processed a homicide scene. If this is a waste of your time, very sorry. If this is something you think is worth discussing more, reach out to me and I will provide you with a name and number and you can go direct with the source.

Hello , I’m the SSA in Nashville over CY & CI. I’m reaching out looking for a place to direct a tip an agent received regarding Epstein from an old school LAPD detective that used to work homicides and suicides in the prison. Any idea who he can email it to?

Is the tip on his suicide or the sex trafficking?
