Instead of sleeping, I've spent the last couple of hours combing through the newly available eighth volume of Epstein records produced by the Justice Department to find slivers of information that shed light on the pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein's visits to Puerto Rico. Not only do these documents shed light on his and his associates presence here, but they also show how Puerto Rico has been involved in the investigation.

Here are part 1 and part 2 of this impromptu series.

However, before I start, you should know these documents are a little different than the ones I have previously talked about on here. To give some context, according to Coffeezilla, the DOJ published this new trove of documents to their website but it was not searchable in their database unless you knew the specific URL. The documents were deleted a couple hours later. However, Coffeezilla, JMAIL, DropSite News, and DDoSecrets, managed to snag them before they were removed and uploaded it to a searchable database.[[1]]

Since most of the documents have timestamps, I'm going to go through them in roughly chronological order with some added context here and there.

Calls To and From Puerto Rico in 2003

The first document I managed to find shows that a phone account whose name was "Jeffrey E Epstein & Co" made and received several calls to and from Puerto Rico in August 2003. Ghislaine Maxwell was a registered as a guest on the phone plan and she racked up nearly $680 in charges, per the document. There seem to be three or four other guests on the same account. It's worth noting that all these people shared one account but had different lines, so it's not like they were all passing a single phone around.

The document shows that 21 calls were made from New York to Santurce, Puerto Rico between August 4, 2003 and August 8, 2003. Many of these calls were made within minutes of each other. For example, on August 5, there were three calls made in less than six minutes, per the document. The amount of minutes used is not shown in the document, but it does show that they were all long distance calls.

The bill seems to be separated by mobile numbers, which is why you see reference numbers so far apart for certain calls even though they were made on the same day.

Another part of the document shows that, one call was made on August 7 to the Isla Verde neighborhood of Carolina, Puerto Rico. The call lasted two minutes and came from the US, per the document. It was seemingly not a long distance call. [[2]]

Finally, it's clear that someone on the phone plan was in the archipelago between August 4 and 7 in 2003. There are 11 calls, all with low reference numbers and made around the middle of the day, that clearly state they were made from San Juan, Puerto Rico. While many of these calls lasted only a few minutes, one call, made on August 7, lasted 10 minutes, according to the document.
