Jeffrey Epstein's Secret Storage Network Revealed in New Investigation
A disturbing new report has uncovered that disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein maintained a network of secret storage units across the United States, where he allegedly hid hard drives, photographs, and computers from law enforcement authorities. According to an investigation by The Telegraph, Epstein rented at least six storage lockers, with the majority located in Florida, paying thousands of dollars between 2003 and 2019 to conceal evidence related to his horrific crimes.
Florida Storage Units Near Epstein's Properties
The investigation traced multiple storage facilities in Florida, situated just miles from Epstein's Sunshine State residences outside Palm Beach and Delray Beach. Records show Epstein began leasing one locker at Uncle Bob's storage in Florida in 2003, paying $374.13 monthly until March 2015, with smaller payments continuing until 2016. Another unit, used between 2009 and 2011, was accessible 24 hours a day and capable of storing vehicles. Monthly payments of $140 continued for a Royal Palm Beach location until 2019, indicating Epstein maintained these hiding places across nearly two decades.
Evidence of Insider Information and Document Transfers
The storage units remained undiscovered by US authorities, suggesting they contained never-before-seen evidence in Epstein's extensive criminal case. Former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter told NBC that during a 2005 search, Epstein's property "had been cleaned up," raising suspicions that he received advance warning about raids. Emails released by the Department of Justice reveal discussions about storage unit transfers between Epstein and his associates, including private detective agency Riley Kiraly.
Credit card statements obtained by investigators show Epstein paid Riley Kiraly $38,500 from January to May 2010 alone. In August 2009, a representative from the agency emailed Epstein asking for advice about computers and paperwork taken from his house before a search warrant execution, stating: "I have them locked in storage and would like to know what to do with them. They are no longer needed in the criminal case, I assume."
New York and Other Hidden Locations
Epstein also maintained storage units in New York, with investigators from Riley Kiraly renting a unit on his behalf beginning in 2010 at approximately $500 per month. Another unit, located just five minutes from his New York City mansion, primarily contained furniture, equipment, and computers. Photographs taken by staff in 2012 show furniture and cardboard boxes jammed into a cluttered storage space.
Files further suggest Epstein expressed interest in a "secret storage unit" near his New Mexico ranch. Despite owning five properties in the United States and France—many with additional sprawling storage spaces—Epstein sought these additional hiding places, raising questions about the volume and sensitivity of materials he needed to conceal.
Contents from Private Caribbean Island
Storage contents reportedly included computers from Epstein's private Caribbean island, Little Saint James. Investigators were told to move and wipe computers and CDs from the island, placing them in secret vaults. In a 2009 email exchange, Epstein asked Bill Riley of Riley Kiraly about an unnamed person's picture, to which Riley replied: "I thought I had a copy of it on my computer but it is in storage with everything else. I will get it out next time I go to the storage unit."
Unanswered Questions After Epstein's Death
It remains unclear what happened to the contents of each storage unit after Epstein died by suicide in 2019. Under Florida law, storage facility owners can auction off abandoned materials after 90 days without payment. The revelation of these hidden storage units adds another layer to the ongoing investigation into Epstein's crimes and the potential evidence that may have been lost or destroyed.
