The Jeffrey Epstein Files 4: Dr. Michael Baden Interview

Jeffrey Epstein’s death is one of the mysteries of our time. 
Since his death in a New York City Prison cell there have been countless conspiracy theories, speculation,  and conjecture.   
However,  only two medical examiners looked at Jeffrey Epstein’s body to discover the cause of his death.
In this episode, on CrimeWaves, we speak to one of those people.  
Dr.  Michael Baden is a legend in American law enforcement. 
He has decades of experience, specifically, on prison deaths, and has been involved in a host of high-profile legal cases including working for the family of George Floyd. 
After examining Jeffrey Epstein’s body, Dr. Baden says that the wounds indicate that  Epstein was most likely killed by a person or persons unknown.  
It was murder.

It is a mystery that obsesses our time.
Jeffrey Epstein, one of the richest and most well-connected men in America, walked into prison. He was friends and a business associate of some of the most powerful people in the world - Presidents, Prime Ministers, Princes, politicians, business tycoons - the very top of the 1%er class.  
He also ran a sexual trafficking network of young girls and women.
Just over a month later, he was found dead in his cell.
The official response?  Immediately declare it suicide.
Many people around the world, did not believe it.  So in the last four-and-a-half years, while there has been a great deal of rumour, speculation, theorizing and fantasy - there has been a distinct lack of proper investigation.  
I an Investigation Program students of one of the finest academic institutions for the study of crime - the University of New Haven - have been examining the case.  We have read thousands of pages of documents and interviewed people with real, first-hand knowledge about the case.
This is the story of Jeffrey Epstein’s death.  This episode is an interview with one of the lawyers who met him just days before he died.   And like most people close to Jeffrey Epstein - he does not think he committed suicide. 
He thinks it was murder.

It is one of the most famous locked room deaths in American history.   
On July 6, 2019 Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and put into a cell of a downtown Manhattan detention center.   He was the most famous prison inmate in America.  He had hung out with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, bankers and billionaires.  He was also a serial sexual abuser. 
Within thirty-five days - he was dead.  
Almost all of the world wondered how such a famous prisoner could die in jail.  
My students and I have spend the last three-and-a-half months reading thousands of pages of legal documents, government reports, released internal emails, news media stories, books, and, conducting a series of astonishing interviews.
This is the story of what actually happened to Jeffrey Epstein.

It is one of the most famous mysteries of our times.
In the summer of 2019, one of the richest men in America, Jeffrey Epstein, walked into a jail. He has been arrested for a widespread sexual trafficking network. He was connected with Presidents, politicians, billionaires and businessmen.   
Thirty-five days later Epstein was dead in his cell.
Immediately, the government declares that he committed suicide.  
Hundreds-of-millions of people around the world did not believe them. 
There have been conspiracy theories, books, movies, Internet memes and rumours. What there has not been is any proper, thorough official investigation of how Jeffrey Epstein died.  
Nor has anyone taken the time to interview Jeffrey Epstein’s closest relatives to find out their perspective on this important case. 
Until now… 
Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, was never involved in his lifestyle but after his death he was dragged into the inquiry. He speaks publicly and at length for the first time.

It was a silent, criminal corporation.  
It was worth tens-of-billions of dollars.
They killed and tortured their opponents, without giving any signals or clues to their existence. 
They were the Super-Cartel.  One of the world’s largest drug traffickers and, virtually, no one knew anything about them.  
This is the story of the investigation that brought them down.

It was the greatest case of match-fixing in international sports.  

A group of criminals fixed soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, tennis and many other sports.   They corrupted national teams, the UEFA Champions League, and games around the world.   They had top officials, referees and players on their payroll.  They threatened, extorted and murdered their way through sports.

At the heart of the investigation against them was one dedicated, obsessive cop.   A man who would stop at nothing to bring down. 

This is his story.

You're in prison. 
The system has convicted you of murder. 
 You're serving a lifetime in prison. 
But you're innocent. You didn't kill anyone.  

So who are you going to call? 

It's no use phoning a lawyer. They didn't work too well at your trial.
It's no use phoning a politician. Those guys campaign on locking up murderers. 
Your family cannot help.
Your friends?  Very few actually stayed with you. 

There is one small organization without much money or resources - the Innocence Project.  They are your last hope.

The extraordinary true story of an innocent man convicted of murder and the small group of investigators who not only prove his innocence but find the real murderer.

**

You're driving in your car on a Houston highway. The police stop you and the nightmare begins... 

They open up the trunk and discover a wig and a ski mask. You say, rightly, "they're part of a Halloween costume."   The police arrest you anyway and put you on trial for murder.

The ensuing court trial is bizarre. Six complete strangers stand there and say that you killed somebody and they saw you. You don't know what they're talking about, but the court finds you guilty. Then you lose your appeal, and now you're in prison for the rest of your life for a crime that you did not commit.

In the 1870s,  thousands of people poured into the mining town of Deadwood Gulch in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Some of those people are still famous today.   
"Calamity Jane" - known throughout the world as the gun-slinging, bar and brothel owner . 
Wyatt Earp -  the most dangerous of all the gun-slinging US Marshals.
Wild Bill Hickok, a man whose biographers claimed  killed only six people in gunfights.
And there was another person... 
A man whose identity was a mystery until current-day investigators got to work... 
Their trail involved forensic dentistry, genealogy, and, good, old-fashioned detective work to trace the identity of an unknown man dead for over one-hundred-and-twenty years.
