New documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case have surfaced, revealing potentially disturbing insights into the events surrounding his death at a Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. According to FBI notes, an inmate who shared a unit with Epstein claimed that guards discussed how to conceal information about the convicted sex offender’s passing on the morning of his death.

The handwritten notes, which form part of the Epstein case files, detail allegations made by the inmate shortly after Epstein was found dead. The inmate reported hearing a guard state, “If he is dead, we’re going to cover it up and he’s going to have an alibi, my officers,” which was reportedly mentioned during breakfast service. This statement has raised further questions about the circumstances of Epstein’s demise.
Subsequently, word began to circulate among the inmates that a specific guard, referred to as “Miss Noel,” was implicated in Epstein’s death. This individual is believed to be Tova Noel, the female correctional officer assigned to oversee Epstein on the night he passed away. Following the incident, Noel faced disciplinary actions for allegedly falsifying logs to indicate that she had performed her necessary rounds during the night.
Notably, a transcript obtained by PEOPLE from an FBI interview with Noel highlights her seemingly unusual behaviour prior to Epstein’s death. The transcript reveals that she had conducted a search for Epstein on a prison computer just before his death. When confronted about this, she appeared surprised and denied any prior knowledge of the convicted financier, despite the agent’s reference to the timing of her internet activity.
Noel further claimed in the interview that she was the last person to see Epstein alive when he requested her assistance to plug in his CPAP machine. The following morning, another guard discovered Epstein unresponsive in his cell and initiated CPR efforts. According to Noel, the guard expressed concern about the implications of Epstein’s condition, saying, “We’re going to be in so much trouble.”
Although both Noel and her colleague were initially charged with falsifying documents related to their oversight of Epstein, these charges were subsequently dropped. Neither of the two guards has ever been formally identified as suspects or accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein’s death.
This new information adds another layer to the ongoing discussions surrounding Epstein’s death, which has continued to attract scrutiny and speculation. Epstein died on 10 August 2019, in what authorities ruled a suicide, occurring less than a month after his arrest on charges including sex trafficking of minors.
The circumstances of Epstein’s demise, coupled with his connections to high-profile individuals and previous reports of irregularities within the correctional facility, have fueled conspiracy theories and allegations of foul play. Despite extensive investigations, many unanswered questions remain.
Legal experts suggest that the newly uncovered notes may prompt further inquiries into the events of that fateful night. The FBI is likely to face renewed pressures to delve deeper into the correctional practices and oversight failures that contributed to Epstein’s death, amid calls for greater transparency and accountability in the justice system.
As the story continues to unfold, it is clear that the ramifications of Epstein’s case—the allegations of sex trafficking and the manner of his death—will linger in public discourse, sparking debates on the efficacy of the prison system and the layers of power and secrecy surrounding high-profile criminal cases.
