Show Notes
Another crossover episode from my true crime podcast Highway to Hell because of its relevance to whats going on today. If you are a true crime and travel fan please check us out wherever you listen to podcasts. After his sweetheart deal in 2008, Epstein was able to reintegrate into life and maintain his trafficking ring without any loss in wealth, associations or connections. This episode tracks his life and dealings from 2008 to his death in 2019, the aftermath of his cruelty, the arrest and trial of Ghislaine Maxwell and the recent release of the Epstein files. As of now, no man involved with Epstein and his human trafficking has been arrested in the US Sources The source list is way too big for the show notes but is available upon request at [email protected]
