Alan Dershowitz 1525 Massachusetts Avenue Cambrid e, Massachusetts 02138 Joseph Recarey Detective Palm Beach Police Department 345 S. County Road Palm Beach, FL 33480 Re: Epstein matter Dear Detective Recarey: I am sending you this letter in response to the serious concern you raised at our meeting regarding an alleged claim that one of our investigators had misrepresented himself as a police officer and in fact had actually attempted to impersonate you. As I told you neither I nor my client would ever tolerate any such conduct on the part of our investigators. With that in mind, I immediately began an inquiry of our staff, and believe that the contemporaneous notes taken by our investigator, while attempting to interview will provide the necessary explanation for your thoroughly justified consternation. It will also, I believe, provide a more troublesome and telling illustration of her character. At our meeting, you may recall, I -also advised you that our investigation had discovered at least one of her web sites and I am enclosing some exam les. You will note that she, herself, has chosen to go by the nickname of and the site goes on to detail, including photos, her apparent fascination with marijuana. This will come as no surprise to you as I'm sure you are already aware of her recent Palm Beach arrest for both possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The following raw notes were taken by investigators (one who suffers from a quite distinct speech impediment, making, therefore, a truly innocent claim of impersonation virtually impossible). Both of them have many years experience in conducting defense investigations and debriefing witnesses. They arc both well versed in the law and extremely sensitive to any potential allegations of wrongdoing especially from witnesses who may have their own agendas. In this instance, they were instructed to take statement verbatim because we feared that she, an accomplished drama student, might try to mislead them as successfully as she had misled others. They were instructed to ask detailed questions to further elucidate her previous pronouncements regarding the extreme lengths she would go to as she put it "to be rich, no, I mean really, really rich". But as you will read, they never got a chance to ask even a single question, and could not for a moment be thought of, as attempting to misrepresent themselves as police officers. In fact even though, they are both well prepared and seasoned investigators, they were quite shocked at the overwhelming, non-stop barrage of profanity being hurled at them at a furious pace and volume from what initially appeared SDNY_GM_02763332 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EF1'A_00250174 EFTA01333242 only to be a young woman of slight build and soft demeanor. The following is an excerpt from the investigator's report detailing her extremely short but none the less pungent statements; "11.21.2005, my partner, S and I traveled to Orange Park (Jacksonville), Florida, in order to attempt to interview The purpose of havin two people present was to act as witnesses as to whatever might have been said by during the course of our interview. IM lives with her 18 year old boyfriend, and his mother and boyfriend at At approximately 6:30pmlillarrived home. We waited about 10 minutes and approached the residence. I knocked on the door and a woman, who 1 now know as answered the door. I told her that we would like to speak with She said there was no there. I said there must be because her Jeep was parked out front. She then said, "I'm sorry, you mean = and I said yes. = then came to the door. The following conversation took place. my name is (as I handed her my business card) and this is my partner . We are investigators from Miami working on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein. I don't talk to fucking cops and I'm not talking to you. we're not cops. You need to leave. Get the fuck off my property, leave now. = there is no need to be hostile. We are not cops. We are just trying to learn the truth. Get the fuck off my property. What, you're still standing here? ill We're leaving but we don't understand why you're so hostile. You have no right to be here. I moved. All that shit is behind me in another wor so get the fuck out of here. goes back inside the house and came outside on the porch Ma'am we're not being hostile. We're here just to learn the truth. Look, III is a good girl and she left down there. We're trying to sort things now and hire her an attorney. I understand but we're not the bad guys and we're not cops. Okay, but she doesn't want to talk with you and you really have no right being ere on my property this time of night. I'm sorry we're here at 6:45pm but your son, M told us we could come back. He doesn't own this property. came back outside You're still here, get the fuck out. I'm calling the cops if you do not leave. III we're talking with and yes, we're leaving, but all we wanted was to earn t e truth from you about what knowledge you may or may not have." As you can gather from this, we believe her to be the source of your concern. Our other, but we believe, less likely alternative source for the potential misunderstanding could be a close friend of named who goes il. emore outlandish self chosen moniker and complete web name of Fucking whose web page I also enclose.
