Epstein victim who fought off billionaire with vibrator vanishes from New York
Carabinieri said Ferretto was found in good health after a cross-border search that followed nearly two weeks without contact.
- On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, Italian authorities confirmed that Elisabetta Tai Ferretto, a 50-year-old former model and Epstein accuser, had been located in the United States in good health.
- Ferretto had been unreachable since April 22 after returning to Manhattan from Italy, triggering a formal cross-border investigation involving Italian prosecutors, the Carabinieri, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and American authorities.
- Ferretto, who moved to New York in 2001, publicly alleged in 2019 that billionaire Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her during a 2004 encounter at his Manhattan residence when she was 21.
- The circumstances surrounding her two-week silence and the deactivation of her social media accounts remain publicly unexplained, despite confirmation of her safety by the Carabinieri of the Compagnia di Este.
- Her allegations were consistent with patterns documented in federal indictments against Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in the Southern District of New York.
