According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Stephen Kiraly appears in 325 case documents, and 2 email records in the Epstein files.
Private investigator based in Pinellas County, Florida, who co-operated the firm Riley & Kiraly with partner William H. Riley. The firm was retained by Epstein's defense team, specifically criminal defense attorney Roy Black, during the early stages of the Palm Beach criminal investigation. In October 2005, investigator Paul Lavery removed three computers, 29 bound telephone directories, sexually explicit materials, a Harvard University ID card, and several dozen VHS tapes from Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. Lavery delivered these items to Riley's office at the Riley & Kiraly firm for "inventory and safekeeping purposes."
When Palm Beach police executed a search warrant on Epstein's home approximately two weeks later, the computers were "conspicuously missing," including one linked to Epstein's home surveillance system. The hard drives remained in private storage for over 20 years. In March 2026, following Darren Indyke's deposition testimony confirming the drives' existence, Rep. Robert Garcia sent letters to Kiraly, Riley, and Lavery demanding testimony and preservation of all electronically stored information. The April 9, 2026 deadline for the investigators to respond is pending. Kiraly has told journalists he would not discuss anything related to Epstein.
