Epstein Isn't Dead - Inside the Investigation with Ryan Dalton

The Rabbit Hole: Conspiracy Theories

Show Notes

Did Jeffrey Epstein really die in 2019... or are there still unanswered questions worth investigating?

In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, Dani sits down with Ryan Dalton—an attorney, former U.S. Department of State Special Agent, and co-founder of Closed Horizon—to discuss one of the most controversial mysteries of the last decade. During his government career, Ryan specialized in counter-trafficking and intelligence operations, investigating international sex and labor trafficking, dark web fraud, and cryptocurrency crimes. He deployed to crisis zones across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East to protect three U.S. Secretaries of State, briefed Congress on victim protection, helped shape anti-trafficking legislation, and received the State Department's Superior Honor Award three times.

Now, Ryan is the co-founder of Closed Horizon, an information marketplace designed to help people safely and legally exchange valuable information. Using that platform, he is trying to answer the question, did Jeffrey Epstein really die in 2019? Ryan walks us through some of the most compelling evidence that suggests he walked out of the cell, and where he might be today.

In this conversation, we discuss:

Ryan's career investigating human trafficking and intelligence operations

Why he co-founded Closed Horizon

The evidence that led to the creation of Epstein Isn't Dead

What questions the project believes remain unanswered

Whether crowdsourced investigations could change the future of investigative journalism

Whether you agree with the official account, remain skeptical, or simply enjoy exploring controversial topics from every angle, this episode is designed to encourage critical thinking and careful examination of the available evidence. https://closedhorizon.com
