New York Times Probes Jeffrey Epstein's Unsealed Suicide Note as Questions Swirl 7 Years After Death
7 articles · Updated · The New York Times · May 12
A judge recently unsealed a note that Jeffrey Epstein may have written in jail weeks before his 2019 death, prompting fresh scrutiny over whether the messy handwritten document is authentic.
The New York Times said it is trying to determine if Epstein actually wrote the note after millions of readers saw it and continued to question its origin.
The document had been sealed for years in a New York courthouse because it was tied to the criminal case of Epstein's former cellmate, who said he found it.
Last month, the Times reported on the note and petitioned for its release, arguing that public interest was immense as Congress presses for more transparency around the Epstein sex-trafficking scandal.
Beyond handwriting, what hidden clues in Epstein's cryptic note could finally prove who was behind his final message?
With jail cameras failing and records falsified, does Epstein's unsealed note clarify his death or just deepen the suspected cover-up?
