The alleged ‘missing minute’ of CCTV footage from Jeffrey Epstein’s final moments have ‘been found’.
Initially, the missing 1 minute of CCTV footage was brushed off as a technical fault.
However, reports have since claimed the missing footage has been ‘found’.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously claimed the recording equipment at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Centre.
She had alleged that the technology ‘from 1999’ was old and outdated, even claiming it ‘resets every night’ at the exact same time – hence the missing footage.
“Every night should have the same minute missing,” Bondi claimed. “So we’re looking for that video to release that as well, showing that a minute is missing every night.”
Now, the Daily Mail has a ‘source familiar with the investigation’ that claimed that the DOJ and FBI have the ‘raw footage’ and nothing is missing.
The disgraced financier was discovered on 10 August 2019, hanging in his cell. However, conspiracy theorists don’t believe that this is what happened.
In order to quell the theories, the last few moments of footage outside his cell door were published as “proof” that there was no external involvement.
The FBI and DOJ claimed that if there was third party involvement, they would be seen entering his cell.
Now, the entire clip of footage has been called into question after CBS News claimed there was another staircase ‘almost entirely out of view from the camera’, ‘meaning there’s no way to tell from the video if [Epstein] went to his cell or exited the SHU [Special Housing Unit]’.
CBS claimed the entrance door to the cell ‘remains mostly obscured’ , making it ‘impossible to determine if someone may have entered the SHU’ out of view.
To add more confusion into the mix, an orange shape was spotted entering the cell at around 10.40pm. US officials have claimed this was probably a correctional officer, however, there is speculation online it was more likely someone in an orange prison jumpsuit.
Conor McCourt is a retired NYPD sergeant and forensic video lover who told CBS News: “Based on the limited video, it’s more likely it’s a person in an [orange] uniform.”
