Federal Judge Releases Alleged Jeffrey Epstein Suicide Note
The note was released after The New York Times petitioned, and prosecutors said there was strong public interest in Epstein’s death.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Kenneth M. Karas unsealed a purported suicide note attributed to Jeffrey Epstein after The New York Times petitioned for its release, ending years of secrecy surrounding the handwritten document.
- Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein's former cellmate serving four life sentences for murder, allegedly discovered the note inside a graphic novel after Epstein's July 23, 2019, suicide attempt; it remained sealed for years under attorney-client privilege.
- The undated, unsigned note opens with "They investigated me for months- FOUND NOTHING!!!" and includes "It is a treat to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye," echoing language Epstein used in prior emails referencing a 1931 Little Rascals film.
- Federal prosecutors did not oppose the unsealing, citing "strong public interest" in Epstein's death, though the Justice Department admitted it does not know if the document is authentic and had never previously seen it.
- Questions about the note's authorship remain unresolved, with neither federal investigators nor independent experts publicly confirming Epstein wrote it; its emergence through Tartaglione's case rather than official channels reveals gaps in the government's investigation.
