That person, whose name has been redacted by the Justice Department, emailed Eddy Aragon, the conservative talk show host and former Albuquerque mayoral candidate, in November 2019, several months after Epstein’s death in federal custody.

The letter’s author claims that two “foreign girls” died of strangulation during “rough, fetish sex” and were later buried on the “orders of Jeffrey and Madam G”, a potential reference to Maxwell, Epstein’s associate and former business partner, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking.

The letter claims they were buried “somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro”. The author also claims to have taken seven videos from Epstein’s home, including ones depicting sex with minors, as “insurance in case of future litigation against Epstein”.
