A prison guard responsible for checking in on the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been tied to a "mysterious cash deposit" and an incriminating Google search, according to a new report.
The New York Post dropped an article Saturday called, "Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before body found — and made mysterious deposit before pedophile’s suicide: DOJ," in which the outlet reports, "One of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards googled the sex predator minutes before he was found dead — and also made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before the predator’s jail-cell suicide, new Department of Justice documents reveal."
The report continues:
"Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his Aug. 10, 2019, suicide. The guards were fired but criminal charges against both were later dropped."
The article notes that Noel Googled Epstein's name less than an hour before he was found dead in his cell.
"Noel googled 'latest on Epstein in jail' at 5:42 a.m. and then again at 5:52 a.m. — less than 40 minutes before her colleague, correctional officer Michael Thomas, found the disgraced financier dead in his cell by hanging at 6:30 a.m., according to an FBI record of Noel’s internet search history that night," according to the New York Post's reporting.
Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald journalist whose investigation led to the arrests of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, shared the article and added something:
"Adding: there are also a lot of monthly 'Quick Zelle' cash payments to this woman's bank account during this time span."
