Jeffrey Epstein concealed computers and photographs in secret storage lockers across the United States, according to newly uncovered documents suggesting potential evidence linked to the disgraced pedophile may still be hidden from authorities.

RadarOnline.com can reveal the cache of emails, financial records, and legal documents, reviewed by investigators, outlines how Epstein, who died aged 66 in 2019, arranged for private detectives to remove equipment from his Palm Beach, Florida home ahead of anticipated police searches in the mid-2000s.

Documents suggested Jeffrey Epstein hid computers in secret lockers.

Records indicate he rented at least six storage units nationwide – including facilities in Florida and New York – where items from his multiple properties were relocated, among them computers transported from his private Caribbean island, Little Saint James.

Payments for the units, some dating back to 2003, continued for years, overlapping with his associations with prominent figures including Donald Trump.

Authorities appear never to have searched the external lockers, raising questions about whether undisclosed material remains unexamined.

Private investigator Bill Riley moved paperwork before police searches.

One email from private investigator Bill Riley, sent in August 2009, offers a rare glimpse into the handling of the material.

He said: "I learned that plaintiff's counsel are looking to get from me the computers and paperwork I took from Jeff's house prior to the search warrant." I have them locked in storage and would like to know what to do with them."

The correspondence, addressed to Jeffrey Epstein and his legal team, suggests the items had been deliberately removed before law enforcement could access them.

'The Place Had Been Cleaned Up'

The pedophile arranged for detectives to remove equipment from his home

The documents also reveal Epstein instructed investigators to clone hard drives stored in the units, though it remains unclear what became of those copies.

At the time, Epstein had recently been released from jail following a conviction for soliciting a minor, and was facing ongoing civil litigation, including a lawsuit filed by his s-- trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre, who alleged he abused her as a teenager.

Former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter, who led early investigations into Epstein, previously said the financier's home appeared to have been cleared before a 2005 raid.

He said: "The place had been cleaned up," adding key computer material seemed to be missing.

Financial records show Epstein paid tens of thousands of dollars to the Riley Kiraly detective agency between 2010 and 2011, alongside regular payments for storage facilities in Florida, including one near Royal Palm Beach that remained active until the year of his death.

Former police chief Michael Reiter claimed the home appeared cleaned.

Photographs believed to have been taken inside one unit show boxes of equipment, including electronics and documents, stacked among furniture and other household items.

Further emails indicate Epstein's staff also discussed relocating computers and CDs from Little Saint James into off-site storage. In one exchange, house manager Janusz Banasiak referenced "three computers" and additional media stored locally, suggesting some material may predate the tranche of Epstein emails released publicly, which begin around 2009.

Despite extensive searches of Epstein's homes following his 2019 arrest, including his Manhattan townhouse and island residence, official records make no mention of raids on external storage units.

An F.B.I. agent noted in an internal message after the island search: "Nothing appears to be a smoking gun type of evidence but we'll see when we do the computer forensics."

The F.B.I. and Department of Justice have repeatedly said there is no evidence Epstein maintained blackmail material on powerful associates, including Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson.

However, the existence of unsearched storage lockers has fueled continued speculation about what evidence may still lie undiscovered.
