The Epstine 2,000 Discs: Unseen Surveillance Footage Evidence from the MCC Jail
London-UK, February 3, 2026
In a historic disclosure that has sent shockwaves through global leadership circles, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has finally released over 3 million pages and 2,000 discs of raw video footage.
This report dives deep into the unseen surveillance data and the forensic anomalies surrounding the final hours of Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC).
For years, the truth was buried behind “malfunctioning” hard drives; today, the raw data tells a different story.
The Failure of the “Blind Tier”
The newly released tranche of data, mandated by the 2025 Epstein Files Transparency Act, includes over 2,000 hours of non-sequential footage from the MCC.
While previous official reports from 2023 claimed that 10 out of 11 cameras in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) were not recording, the 2026 data shows a more complex reality.
Forensics experts have identified “digital screen captures” created as late as May 2025, suggesting that the “raw” files were actually curated and re-exported years after the event.
Most notably, the footage from August 9 and 10, 2019, shows a “missing minute” at the stroke of midnight.
During this time, the clock on the DVR system jumps forward, a signature of manual intervention.
This gap coincides with the period when guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas were allegedly asleep—or, as the new files suggest, when a “blind tier” was created by reconfiguring the DVR wiring in real-time.
The “Double Body” Forensic Discrepancy
Among the 180,000 images released on January 30, 2026, are high-resolution autopsy photos and scene-of-death captures that have reignited the debate over the identity of the body removed from the MCC.
Ear Morphology:
Independent forensic analysts comparing the new 2026 high-definition images to known photos of Epstein have noted significant differences in the tragus and helix structure of the ear on the gurney.
The “Trick” Evidence:
A internal DOJ memo, previously unredacted, mentions a “decoy protocol” utilized during high-profile prisoner transfers to “distract media and ensure security.”
This admission has led to questions about whether the man photographed by the New York Post was indeed Epstein or a security double used as part of this standard protocol.
The Ligature Mystery:
The files contain photos of two separate nooses found in the cell. One was an orange string ripped from a bunkbed, while the other was a more sophisticated ligature.
The autopsy report notes three fractures in the neck (hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage), which experts testify are more consistent with homicidal strangulation than a “near-seated” hanging.
Unredacted Leadership Ties
The 2026 release has stripped away the black boxes from communications involving world leaders.
The files include direct email exchanges between Epstein and prominent figures such as Elon Musk, Howard Lutnick, and even mentions of President Trump and former Prince Andrew.
Specifically, a 2010 email chain shows the “Duke” inviting Epstein to Buckingham Palace for “lots of privacy” just after his initial house arrest ended.
This contradicts years of public statements claiming the relationship had been severed.
Furthermore, the data reveals a secret 100-page indictment from 2005 that named three “personal assistants” as co-conspirators.
These individuals were never charged, shielded by a non-prosecution agreement that the DOJ now admits was “irregular and outside the bounds of standard federal procedure.”
The Final Hours: What the Video Shows
The last seen footage of Epstein, at 7:49 p.m. on August 9, shows him walking down a staircase with a guard. From that moment until 6:30 a.m.
the next morning, the “official” record claims no one entered the tier. However, the 2026 forensic audit of the metadata shows that the single functioning camera was actually a “live feed” that had its recording function disabled at the server level, not by a hardware malfunction. This implies a centralized command to “go dark.”
As the world processes these millions of pages, the image of a “suicide due to negligence” is being replaced by a much darker portrait of institutional coordination. Castle Journal will continue to mine these 2,000 discs for the secrets the leadership tried to keep hidden for seven years.
