Summary

The Palm Beach Police Department investigation that initiated the Epstein case. Began after a woman reported that her 14-year-old stepdaughter had been taken to Epstein's mansion. Detective Joseph Recarey identified over 30 underage victims during the investigation. The detailed police work ultimately led to an FBI referral, though the resulting federal plea deal was widely criticized as insufficient.
