A certified industrial hygienist, who inspected Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in 2003 for mold contamination, has recounted disturbing observations from that visit.
James Detwiler was assigned to assess the seven-story residence at 9 East 71st St., on Sept. 24, 2003, unaware of its owner's criminal activities, which authorities said included sex trafficking of minors.
Upon entering, Detwiler observed jars containing eyeballs in the foyer, an unusual laboratory with an exotic tub, and a bedroom kept at precisely 50 degrees with specialized equipment. Adjacent to the bedroom, he found a walk-in closet filled with colorful woolen hats that Epstein allegedly told visitors to wear before entering the cold bedroom.
“My sister-in-law within the last month called me, she said 'tell me that story again, I told some of my friends and they couldn't believe it,'” Detwiler, now 78 and retired, told Raw Story.
Most troubling, Detwiler described a gymnasium with approximately two dozen large black-and-white photographs of scantily clad young women on all four walls, some appearing to be teenagers. A renovation supervisor explained the photos were taken in Florida at Epstein's other property.
Detwiler didn't realize the home's significance until Epstein's 2008 conviction.
