Fran Horner was a financial and professional associate of Jeffrey Epstein who appears in at least 54 EFTA documents spanning 2009 to 2014. The relationship encompassed both financial bookkeeping and what appears to be a healthcare or wellness practice. In an August 12, 2009 email (EFTA01816539), Epstein asks Horner to review his financial books, reminds her of a $25,000 loan that was 'never returned,' and suggests she could hire Bob Goldsamt — a former hospital chain executive with expertise in healthcare practice management. The same email reveals Epstein sent Jean-Luc Brunel and Tommy Mottola to Horner 'as a favor, not as patients to be charged,' indicating Horner operated a practice that treated patients. In July 2014, Horner was a participant in a conference call with Epstein and Phil West, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP, a major international law firm.
The call was organized by Epstein's executive assistant Lesley Groff and also involved Daphne Wallace and Lauren Azebu. Calendar records show Horner and West called Epstein at (340) 775-2525, a US Virgin Islands number associated with Epstein's St. Thomas residence. Separate records show travel arrangements made for 'JOHN ROBERT HORNER' through Epstein's office in July 2012, suggesting a family connection.
