Is Jeffrey Epstein alive? Conspiracy theories brew after pedophile spotted near his notorious New Mexico ranch
Jeffrey Epstein could be alive. According to reports, the US financier was seen near his ranch in New Mexico where he was accused of having sex slaves. Epstein was convicted in 2008 for soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and was later arrested at Teterboro Airport, New Jersey, last year on July 6 for sex trafficking of minors in two states - Florida and New York.
Epstein, referred to as a pedophile in most circumstances, died at the age of 66 and was found in his cell in a New York prison, Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he awaiting trial on the sex trafficking charges. According to The Sun, on August 10 last year, it was confirmed by law officials that Epstein had committed suicide in his cell - he was also held without bail, as according to reports a federal judge said that he was a "danger to the community". Furthermore, on August 16 of last year, his death was ruled as a "suicide" by Chief Medical Examiner Dr Barbara Sampson.
His death sparked a lot of controversies - some believed that he got off too easy and escaped justice, others think that he's still alive. People that believed he escaped justice were concerned about the 40 underage girls ("at least 40," according to the publication) who would now see their abuser not be held accountable for the horrid things he was accused of doing. Among the theories of the financier might be alive, there are also people who believe that the alleged pedophiles had been murdered by "powerful people" who could have been uncovered should details of his sec trafficking agenda were to have been unfolded more.
ABQ Raw, a YouTube channel, "claimed" that Epstein was "spotted" on the ranch while sitting inside a "red vehicle".
The narrator can be heard saying, "Epstein rode off into the sunset after faking his death. While we were on scene, a red truck approached the fence line and a gentleman rolled the window down. He observed the protest and raised his cell phone to snap some photos of the group. The driver of the red truck had a striking resemblance to the recently deceased Jeffrey Epstein." You can watch the video posted below, but it is important to remember that there is no evidence to prove that Epstein faked his death, or is alive. New York City’s former chief medical examiner, Dr Michael Baden, hired by the Epstein family, revealed on FOX news that he thinks that Epistien did not kill himself, and was strangled - "I think that the evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide," he had said.
According to reports, the CCTV footage that would have revealed Epstein's suicide attempt has "vanished". The Sun also reported that two guards in the prison there were on duty the day Epstein had committed suicide are accused of "falsifying records after they allegedly lied about making required checks on the financier". While the guards have not pleaded guilty, the report claimed that Epstein was left alone eight hours before he was found dead.
