r/EpsteinList

Okay so i have just started watching law and order: special unit Twelfth Year and i was watching Ep 15 flight and the case showed is the epstein case, crazy how he wasnt even convicted when it wad shot or released, its from 2011. The case if about this ultra rich rude with political and powerful people connection and how we gets girls in terms of modeling or easy money and rapes them in his massage room and holds parties on his weekend home and his girlfriend sends him girls and crazy. Did anyone else know about this ? Was he already caught for these crimes cause i thought it was only fairly recent. The show had a lot of matching details, massage rooms, private islands, minors involved, minors involving their friends, etc

Does anyone have a good grasp on his involvement in the files? He’s an investigative journalist who passed away in 2024, but due to his last name it’s hard to tell if the media has covered him in relation to the files. He usually shows up as Ed Epstein in emails and he met up with some folks for a hot dog in the files I’ve read.

This is a call to action. We are looking for the best investigators to help us solve this mystery. Two months ago we published The Trap, a Plainsite investigation into Steve Hanson's decades-long friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Many of you read it here. This piece is a follow-up, and it is different. The Trap was an investigation we delivered. This one is an investigation we are inviting you into please helping.

At the center of Hanson's emails to Epstein is a woman. She is never named. She is the one Hanson called the girl from Scottsdale, the rotten bitch, the total psychopath, and finally the California person. In his own words, he met her at his James Hotel in Scottsdale in 2004 or 2005, where she and her friends would hang around. He spent ten years paying for her life. He bought her a diamond ring. He bought her horses. He took her calls almost daily. Then in 2014 to 2016 he spent two years begging Epstein for help silencing her. The correspondence about her stops in July 2016. She has never been publicly identified. Two months of national press coverage, including a front-page New York Times investigation by Kim Severson, The Trap, and Adam Robb's earlier piece on Press Trip, have not produced her name. Not one woman has come forward as her. Not one person in Hanson's orbit has named her. The press has done what the press can do. It is not enough.

We need you. The basics. The full case is in the linked Plainsite piece above.

She met Hanson in 2004 or 2005 at the James Hotel in Scottsdale. He was in his fifties, married, with daughters. She would have been a young adult. He has never said her name in any document we have found.

The James Hotel and its J Bar lounge were a major destination in 2004 to 2006. The New York Times called the J Bar one of the hottest hotel-bar scenes in the country. Travel and Leisure named the James America's Sexiest Resort. She was part of that scene.

The Agency Arizona, a modeling agency founded by Margaret Merritt in 2004, operated from inside the James Hotel during Hanson's ownership. Margaret has not responded to outreach from us or from the New York Times.

The financial relationship involved real estate, a diamond ring, and horses. The horses are one of the strongest leads we have. Hanson and his wife Deana were known in the East Hampton equestrian scene at the Hampton Classic. He was running a separate set of horses with this woman in a different geography during the same years.

By 2016 she was in California. After July 2016, the documented record about her stops.

Who we need to hear from.

Anyone who modeled for, worked with, or remembers The Agency Arizona between 2004 and 2010

Anyone who worked at, photographed, or remembers the J Bar or James Hotel scene in 2004 to 2006

Anyone in the American horse world, anywhere, who remembers a woman with a wealthy older out-of-state partner who paid for her horses

Anyone who knew Steve Hanson during his Scottsdale years and remembers the women in his social circle

Her, if she is reading

This is one tiny piece of one of the largest document releases in modern American history. The Hanson archive alone runs across thousands of pages. The Scottsdale woman is one of many women whose lives are described in this archive in men's words, with no chance to speak for themselves. We are looking for her first. We will keep going.

Thank you for everything you have brought to this work so far. Let's find her.

First and foremost, I wish to respect the subs rules and ask everyone to refrain from commenting any personal information, names, addresses etc. I only wish to engage in a thoughtful discussion and see what others had to think on this topic.

In my opinion Jeffery Epstein was only a small part of a much larger operation that we have only begun to scrape the surface of. And being a wealthy man with ties to New York he no doubt was aware of the Watchtower group. But did they know anything about him? With more and more files being released, and names coming out, has anyone come across a link between known witnesses and Epstein?

The only connections I’ve found myself have been from released documents showing he was at least passively interested in Watchtower selling the Brooklyn property and that he has an obsession with the occult and YHWH like deities.
