On the day that the FBI announced a major investigation into illegal gambling, the Mafia and the National Basketball Association (NBA), we re-release our CrimeWaves interview with Nicholas Raudenski.  

Nicholas is a former Homeland Security Agent who fought against Latin American drug cartels before moving into the international sports arena. He has been fighting a tough, difficult fight against organized crime in sports.   

In this interview, he speaks about the widespread corruption and presence of mobsters in sports and the resulting match-fixing.

After listening to this podcast, you will never look at sport in the same way again!

This is the best independent investigation into what actually happened to Jeffrey Epstein inside that New York prison. 
It is the result of a two-year investigation, by Declan Hill and his students, into Jeffrey Epstein's death.
We read tens-of-thousands of pages, interviewed dozens of people involved in the case.
In this final episode - we show shocking new evidence both for a possible verdict of self-harm or murder.  
-  The FBI investigation of Epstein’s death was so bad that they destroyed a rope found inside his cell. 
- The prison paperwork shows a potential killer was in Epstein’s Unit that night who left at exactly the time the alleged killing was supposed to have taken place. 
-  An independent panel of medical examiners examined photos of Epstein's body and saw contusions, abrasions and bruises - none of them were reported in the official autopsy report.
- And we show you a shockingly similar, double-murder of members of Jeffrey Epstein’s political, circle the year before his death. Is there a connection?

You are the judge.  

On this episode, you get to decide what happened to Jeffrey Epstein inside that cell on the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Manhattan.  If you have followed our CrimeWaves series on Jeffrey Epstein’s death - then you know more than most commentators, journalists and pundits.  

After listening to the evidence - vote on the post on the CrimeWaves YouTube site or wherever you get your podcasts with a single word: 

Murder - Suicide -Undetermined.

On the sixth anniversary of Jeffrey Epstein's mysterious death in a New York jail: the final episodes of the best independent investigation into what actually happened to America's most well-known prisoner. 

On this episode - we examine the case of why 'a reasonable person' may believe that Epstein committed suicide

You will hear all the evidence that suggest that Epstein may have taken his own life.  

You will hear all the details that government officials - Republican or Democrat - do not want you to know. 

You will hear the appalling, inhumane conditions that the US prison system subjects its inmates to. 

You will hear - and this massive breaking news - the previously unrevealed verdicts of a team of top pathologists who reviewed the case.  The majority of whom said that the wounds on Epstein’s neck point towards suicide. 

To be clear, we are investigators.  

We do not “believe” that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. Nor do we “believe” he committed suicide.

Here is what we do believe -  you. We believe you - our listeners - are intelligent, independent and that, above all, you want the truth about Jeffrey Epstein.

In this series  shows you the facts and evidence on either side of the case: homicide or suicide. Also all the areas, and there are a huge number of them, that were not investigated properly and that we still need answers to solve the case of what happened inside Jeffrey Epstein's cell on August 9/10, 2019.

Jeffrey Epstein’s death is one of the mysteries of our time. 
Since his death in a New York City Prison cell there have been countless conspiracy theories, speculation,  and conjecture.   
However,  only two medical examiners looked at Jeffrey Epstein’s body to discover the cause of his death.
In this episode, on CrimeWaves, we speak to one of those people.  
Dr.  Michael Baden is a legend in American law enforcement. 
He has decades of experience, specifically, on prison deaths, and has been involved in a host of high-profile legal cases including working for the family of George Floyd. 
After examining Jeffrey Epstein’s body, Dr. Baden says that the wounds indicate that  Epstein was most likely killed by a person or persons unknown.  
It was murder.

It is a mystery that obsesses our time.
Jeffrey Epstein, one of the richest and most well-connected men in America, walked into prison. He was friends and a business associate of some of the most powerful people in the world - Presidents, Prime Ministers, Princes, politicians, business tycoons - the very top of the 1%er class.  
He also ran a sexual trafficking network of young girls and women.
Just over a month later, he was found dead in his cell.
The official response?  Immediately declare it suicide.
Many people around the world, did not believe it.  So in the last four-and-a-half years, while there has been a great deal of rumour, speculation, theorizing and fantasy - there has been a distinct lack of proper investigation.  
I an Investigation Program students of one of the finest academic institutions for the study of crime - the University of New Haven - have been examining the case.  We have read thousands of pages of documents and interviewed people with real, first-hand knowledge about the case.
This is the story of Jeffrey Epstein’s death.  This episode is an interview with one of the lawyers who met him just days before he died.   And like most people close to Jeffrey Epstein - he does not think he committed suicide. 
He thinks it was murder.

It is one of the most famous mysteries of our times.
In the summer of 2019, one of the richest men in America, Jeffrey Epstein, walked into a jail. He has been arrested for a widespread sexual trafficking network. He was connected with Presidents, politicians, billionaires and businessmen.   
Thirty-five days later Epstein was dead in his cell.
Immediately, the government declares that he committed suicide.  
Hundreds-of-millions of people around the world did not believe them. 
There have been conspiracy theories, books, movies, Internet memes and rumours. What there has not been is any proper, thorough official investigation of how Jeffrey Epstein died.  
Nor has anyone taken the time to interview Jeffrey Epstein’s closest relatives to find out their perspective on this important case. 
Until now… 
Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, was never involved in his lifestyle but after his death he was dragged into the inquiry. He speaks publicly and at length for the first time.

This is the best investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death.   

Almost every other examination of his death promotes a political or social agenda. Read the New York Times?  They will feed you the version that Epstein mysteriously killed himself and anything else is a diet of ‘misinformation’ and you are a moron for questioning the official narrative.  Note - the official narrative leaves out that the prison was appalling corrupt and the conditions inside amounted to torture. It was in the heart of Democrat run New York City - the offices of the Times are less than a mile away but somehow that part of the story gets left out. 

Watch Fox News and you receive a steady diet that Epstein must have been killed. Each theory is, of course, more wild than the last. 

On CrimeWaves, we give you an independent look at all the circumstances around Epstein’s unexplained death.  In the first four episodes, we interviewed his brother, lawyer and medical pathologist who all declared his death to be a probable homicide - and we gave all the extraordinary circumstances that would lead to a verdict of murder.

In these next episodes, we tracked down two high-level former drug dealers turned cooperators who were also in Epstein jail.  They are convinced it was suicide.

In this episode, Jeffrey Epstein: A Lesson in How Jail Actually Works - we arranged a meeting between Mark Epstein - his brother - and one of those former high-level drug dealers to speak about conditions inside the prison and why the ex-inmate still believes it was a suicide.

It is one of the most famous locked room deaths in American history.   
On July 6, 2019 Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and put into a cell of a downtown Manhattan detention center.   He was the most famous prison inmate in America.  He had hung out with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, bankers and billionaires.  He was also a serial sexual abuser. 
Within thirty-five days - he was dead.  
Almost all of the world wondered how such a famous prisoner could die in jail.  
My students and I have spend the last year-and-a-half reading thousands of pages of legal documents, government reports, released internal emails, news media stories, books, and, conducting a series of astonishing interviews.
This is the story of what actually happened to Jeffrey Epstein.

Matoaka Pocahontas, the legendary daughter of Powhatan, has been one of the most misunderstood stories in American history. 

The last chapter of her life is particularly intriguing.  

She was sent to England to meet King James Ist.  It was part investment trip for the Virginia colonies. Part a spy trip for her father to check out his potential enemies.

Matoaka Pocahontas was relatively well-treated by the English Royal Court.  One person described her, "as the most noble person there..."

But when Matoaka left England, she boarded a ship, had dinner with her old kidnapper - the man who had human trafficked her - and was dead within two days. 

Was her death from natural causes or was the real cause much darker...?
