A widely circulated photograph, taken in March 2001, shows a smiling Prince Andrew with his arm around Virginia Roberts—then 17 years old—while Ghislaine Maxwell looks on, reportedly at Maxwell’s London home. The image has become one of the most enduring pieces of visual evidence connected to Roberts’ allegations that she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and abused by the Duke. It has been cited repeatedly in media coverage and legal proceedings, including the civil lawsuit Roberts filed against Andrew, which was settled in 2022. The photograph’s significance lies in the fact that it appears to capture all three key figures together in a casual, domestic setting—an unspoken counter to denials of familiarity.In the years since, Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their apologists have treated the photo less like an inconvenient truth and more like a PR problem to be spun out of existence. Andrew’s legal team has floated unsubstantiated claims of “fake” proportions and “mystery” alterations without ever producing credible forensic evidence. Maxwell, speaking from prison, has parroted the same line, conveniently claiming she has “only ever seen photocopies,” as if that alone discredits the image. Their supporters—whether in royal circles or among Epstein’s old network—have amplified these talking points in a transparent attempt to gaslight the public into questioning their own eyes. It’s a tactic ripped straight from the crisis-management playbook: attack the evidence, cast doubt, and hope the scandal rots in ambiguity. But without proof, these denials look less like reasoned skepticism and more like the desperate flailing of people cornered by a single, stubborn photograph that refuses to go away.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10531023/The-story-picture-Andrew-Virginia-Giuffre-Maxwell-journalist-scooped-world.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Dr. Melanie Walker is a trained neurosurgeon who, in the late 1990s, served as a science advisor to Jeffrey Epstein. She reportedly met Epstein in the early 1990s and, in 1998, while completing post-doctoral work at Caltech, accepted that role—helping him identify and connect with academics whose work he might fund, thus facilitating his access to elite intellectual circles. Despite her advisory connection, Walker has not been accused of any wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities.In the 2000s, Walker transitioned into philanthropy and global development. She held significant roles at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—including deputy director of special initiatives—and was later placed at the World Bank under a secondment arrangement, ultimately becoming Senior Adviser to the President and Director of the Delivery Unit. She also serves in leadership roles within health and development policy spheres, such as co‑chairing the World Economic Forum’s Future Council on neuro-technology and brain science.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/worldnews/10397210/prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein-neurosurgeon-ranch/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Amy Robach was caught on a hot mic complaining about ABC execs killing her interview with Virginia Roberts all the way back in 2016. She said that her interview contained the whole story, including the bombshells about Clinton and Prince Andrew but execs at the Disney owned station told her that it was a non story and that nobody even knew who Epstein was.Meanwhile, the real motivation was to keep access to people like Prince Andrew and after the palace threatened action against ABC, ABC chose to sit on the story rather than let the world know what Jeffrey Epstein truly was.In this episode, we take another look at how their decision helped enable Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and how the decision not to out him led to him abusing girls for at least another three years.(commercial at 7:13)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:ABC News covers Epstein, Clinton ties years after Amy Robach hot mic ‘we had everything’ scandal (foxnews.com)If you'd like to help support the podcast: Fundraiser by Bobby Capucci : The Epstein Chronicles (gofundme.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

While the vast majority of the legacy media seems to think that the USVI smacking JP Morgan for a 75 million dollar fee over their role in facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise is some sort of victory, we are once again taking a look deeper than just the surface level and pulling back the curtain to get a real look at what's inside the room.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein leaves small mark on Wall Street | ReutersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Digital forensics testimony: Heather Barnhart, a digital forensics expert from Cellebrite, was slated to testify about Kohberger’s phone and hard drive. She revealed that he had meticulously downloaded full PDF files and information on more than 20 serial killers—including Ted Bundy and Danny Rolling—both before and after the murders, suggesting this wasn’t casual browsing but "meticulous research.” Barnhart noted Kohberger even downloaded updates from the Moscow Police Department multiple times following the killings, shedding light on his detailed online activity surrounding the crimes.Forensic analysts also intended to testify that Kohberger’s internet activity included repeated searches for the University of Idaho murders, nonconsensual pornography with terms like “forced” and “sleeping,” and research into psychopathy and sociopathy. They linked these searches to cell-tower data placing his phone near the victims’ home on 23 separate occasions in the four months leading up to the murders. Prosecutors planned to present this combination of digital evidence and location data as showing both premeditation and a pattern of voyeuristic, predatory behavior.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger's graphic internet searches revealed in never-before-seen evidence | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s infiltration of academia exposed how wealth can override ethics in even the most prestigious institutions. Despite having no advanced degree or scholarly credentials, he gained access to Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford through millions in donations and by courting high-profile scientists. Epstein was granted office space, access to labs, and close ties with prominent academics, even after his 2008 sex-offense conviction. Universities rationalized these relationships by claiming his money advanced research, but in reality, they allowed him to launder his reputation and embed himself in intellectual circles. By hosting Nobel laureates at his salons and funding programs tied to genetics and transhumanism, he created the illusion of being a serious patron of science while exploiting academia’s hunger for funding and prestige.The fallout from Epstein’s exposure in 2019 forced institutions to reckon with their complicity. Harvard and MIT conducted reviews, issued apologies, and pledged reforms, but these actions were reactive, driven by media scrutiny and public outrage rather than institutional integrity. The scandal revealed systemic flaws: academia’s dependence on philanthropy, its willingness to overlook reputational risks for financial gain, and its blindness in conflating brilliance with morality. Epstein’s case stands as a warning that if universities continue to treat ethics as negotiable in exchange for donations, they risk corrupting the very integrity of knowledge. His presence in academia was not an anomaly but a symptom of a larger vulnerability—one that remains unresolved and open to exploitation by the next figure who learns to wield money as a key to intellectual legitimacy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
