Surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide attempt in jail has vanished, it was revealed Wednesday, as the mystery into the pedophile’s death deepens.
In court on Wednesday prosecutors revealed that they could not locate the footage from outside Epstein’s cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City when he attempted to take his own life on July 23.
‘I don’t know the details of how it was lost or destroyed or why it wasn’t retained when it should have been,’ lawyer Bruce Barket said in court.
In that attempt Epstein was found with neck injuries after he apparently tried to hang himself and was moved to suicide watch at the prison.
Two weeks later Epstein succeeded in killing himself in his cell on August 10.
However, authorities have no explanation as to how or why the footage from the July 23 attempt went missing. They said they simply could not find it, according to TMZ.
