Evidence That Epstein Did Not Commit Suicide May Be Inside the Following Documents
1: Subject: EPSTEIN Mark / request / file 7083/2117493/Roa: EFTA00037258.pdf
2: Death threat on Mark Epstein, forwarded from Mark Epstein to STACEY RICHMAN csrichmanlaw@msn.com: EFTA00104751.pdf
For context “Puggie” is spelled wrong in this email (Mark Epstein has a nickname “Puggy”) and this email chain is coming from “Puggie” and the email is puggiekiller@fastmail .com - so it would appear that the person sending the threats is labeling themselves “puggie killer” Aka “puggie”
Document: EFTA00671648.pdf
you can identify “Puggy” not spelled “Puggie” as Mark Epstein
Another document corroborating the nickname Puggy is mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother: EFTA02440148.pdf

Other Potential Connections
Here is another Substack article:
I was writing about this the other day where FBI agents investigating alleged sex crimes and trafficking suspects in Mexico linked back to Jeffrey Epstein.
Quoted from Substack listed above:
Another email, in particular, is dated August 10, 2019 — the same day Epstein was found dead in federal custody.
Document ID: EFTA00165013.pdf
Just heard about Epstein. Based upon what we have discovered here and who was involved here in Mexico we don’t believe it was suicide. When you have 5 minutes you need to listen to what we have as evidence.
This email conversation is spread out over these 3 documents:
Document ID: EFTA00164993.pdf
Document ID: EFTA00165013.pdf
Document ID: EFTA00164984.pdf
New footage released by the Department of Justice shows guards inside of Metropolitan Correctional Center 30 minutes after Epstein died.
It is the first footage to emerge from inside the prison in the hour after Epstein was found unresponsive in his prison cell.
There is an ongoing reddit thread gaining contributions as well.
