Investigative journalist Dylan Howard has uncovered Jeffrey Epstein’s final communication before his 2019 jail cell death – a cryptic text message sent hours before guards discovered his body. The six-word message to an unidentified recipient read: “It’s done. Can’t wait to see you,” adding new layers to the enduring mystery surrounding the financier’s demise.
Authorities officially classified Epstein’s death as suicide by hanging, but numerous irregularities continue to raise questions among experts and the public. Security cameras malfunctioned during the critical period, while two guards admitted falsifying cell check records.
