EFTA00163964: FBI Index of Six Epstein and Maxwell Investigations

UpdatedOctober 14, 2026

Snapshot

EFTA00163964 is a four page FBI document headed Epstein and Maxwell Related Investigations. It says its summaries came from case indexes in an email sent by the New York office on March 12, 2025. The document identifies six FBI case files, describes their administrative status, traces the movement of physical and digital evidence, and lists search terms used to locate related material.

The most important distinction is between a case file’s status and active investigative work. In March 2025, the index described both the principal New York sex trafficking file and the earlier Florida file as “Pending Inactive.” That label shows they were not marked closed in this summary. It does not establish that agents were actively pursuing new leads on that date.

Two lesser known files also appear: an investigation of contraband entering the Metropolitan Correctional Center, in which Epstein was referenced, and an investigation of anonymous online threats against an Epstein victim. The document does not say that Epstein received contraband or identify the threatened survivor.

Key Takeaways

The index identifies six case numbers covering sex trafficking, obstruction, Epstein’s death, prison contraband, and threats against a victim.
The New York trafficking case, 50D NY 3027571, was listed as “Pending Inactive” in March 2025, more than two years after Maxwell’s sentence.
The Florida case, 31E MM 108062, was also listed as “Pending Inactive.” Its material was subject to a civil litigation hold.
Evidence from the Alfredo Rodriguez obstruction case was incorporated into the New York case under new evidence numbers. A physical box from the Miami office was arranged for transport to the Washington Field Office in March 2025.
The FBI’s index states that the New York office sent the remaining Florida file, kept in boxes and on DVDs, to the Washington Field Office. It does not include transfer receipts or a complete inventory.
A prison contraband investigation opened on August 17, 2019, referenced Epstein and closed in October 2023. This summary does not describe the contraband, its source, or a connection to Epstein’s cell.
The victim threat case opened on July 26, 2019, after anonymous threats appeared online. The document says investigators’ attempts to contact the poster went unanswered.
The search terms page names pilot David Rodgers, Epstein’s aircraft, and flight logs. Being listed as a search term does not make a person a suspect.

The Six Case Files

The first two pages of the index supply a compact map of six investigations.

FBI case number	Subject	Status or outcome stated in the index
50D NY 3027571	New York child sex trafficking investigation involving Epstein and Maxwell	Pending Inactive
72 MM 113327	Obstruction case concerning a former Epstein employee and the black contact book	Closed March 13, 2013
31E MM 108062	Florida investigation of Epstein	Pending Inactive since July 25, 2017
90A NY 3151227	Investigation of Epstein’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center	Closed December 2022
90C NY 3154599	Investigation of contraband brought into the detention facility	Closed October 2023
9A NY 3144791	Investigation of anonymous online threats against an Epstein victim	Closed May 12, 2020

The case numbers are useful search keys. They are not interchangeable: a record about the prison, for example, may belong to the death or contraband file rather than the sex trafficking file. The EpsteinWiki article on Operation Leap Year provides a fuller account of the earlier Florida investigation and the difference between an FBI status label and the federal prosecution decision.

The New York Sex Trafficking File

The index says case 50D NY 3027571 opened on December 6, 2018. It then gives a compressed chronology: Epstein’s July 2019 indictment and arrest, his death on August 10, Maxwell’s indictment and arrest in 2020, her conviction on five of six submitted counts in December 2021, and her 20 year sentence in June 2022.

The document describes the case as “Pending Inactive.” That phrase is an administrative status in this index. The document does not define the FBI’s status categories or say when the New York file last received substantive investigative work. It would be an overstatement to say this proves a live investigation of additional perpetrators in March 2025. It would also be inaccurate to call the file closed when the index expressly uses a different label.

The index says Maxwell’s request for review by the full appeals court was rejected in November 2024. The purpose of including that event appears to be to summarize the procedural history within the case file, rather than to identify a new investigative step.

The Rodriguez Obstruction Case and the Black Book

Case 72 MM 113327 was opened by the FBI’s Miami Palm Beach office on October 28, 2009. The subject’s name is redacted on this page. The associated FBI investigative briefing, EFTA00161429, identifies former employee Alfredo Rodriguez and describes his attempt to sell documents requested by a federal subpoena, including a black contact book. The index reports an arrest on December 8, 2009, a conviction and sentence in 2010, and closure of the obstruction case on March 13, 2013.

The index contains several specific statements about evidence handling:

Physical evidence items designated 1B were incorporated into the New York trafficking file and assigned new 1B numbers.
Supporting case materials designated 1A were sent to New York in 2019 and kept physically before being sent to the Washington Field Office.
A box containing the Miami office’s physical obstruction case file was located and its transport to the Washington Field Office was coordinated on March 3, 2025.
The black contact book was identified as the item of evidentiary use from this case.

Those statements provide a path for tracing the book’s custody and changing evidence number. The four page summary does not attach the old and new 1B crosswalk, packing lists, shipping receipts, or an item level inventory. It also does not establish the meaning of any individual entry in the book.

The Earlier Florida Investigation

The index describes case 31E MM 108062 as the FBI Miami Palm Beach file resulting from the Palm Beach police investigation. It gives an opening date of July 25, 2006, and says the case remained “Pending Inactive” from July 25, 2017. It adds that the materials were preserved under a civil litigation hold.

There is a documented one day date difference in related sources. The EpsteinWiki Operation Leap Year article notes that DOJ’s later review gives July 24, 2006, for the FBI opening, while this case index gives July 25. The available records should retain both dates until an opening communication or case system record resolves the difference. EPSTEIN WIKI

The index says this case’s 1B evidence items were incorporated into the New York file under new numbers. The remaining Florida file went to New York in 2019 in boxes and existed in both physical and digital form, including DVDs, before transfer to the Washington Field Office. A litigation hold explains why records had to be preserved; it does not explain by itself what the FBI was investigating in 2025.

The transfer statements make this page useful for chain of custody research. They identify three locations in the later history of the material: Miami Palm Beach, New York, and the Washington Field Office. The summary does not give the number of boxes, the number or contents of DVDs, or dates and receipts for every transfer.

The Investigation of Epstein’s Death

The index says case 90A NY 3151227 opened on August 12, 2019, after Epstein was found unresponsive at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10. It summarizes the prosecution of two correctional officers for false records and conspiracy, their November 2019 surrender to the FBI, and a six month deferred prosecution agreement entered in May 2021. It says the terms were satisfied and that the death investigation closed in December 2022.

Those are distinct matters. Charges concerning false records addressed officers’ conduct and documentation. They do not themselves establish that someone killed Epstein. Conversely, the closure of a death investigation does not erase the custody and supervision failures detailed in the DOJ inspector general report. oig.justice.gov

The related investigative briefing, EFTA00161436, gives a fuller chronology of the last night and the recording problems. This index provides the case identifier and closure status needed to locate the underlying death file.

The Separate Prison Contraband Case

The second page lists 90C NY 3154599, opened on August 17, 2019, to investigate contraband being brought into the Metropolitan Correctional Center. It says Epstein was referenced in the case and that the case closed in October 2023.

This brief entry does not identify the contraband, the person suspected of bringing it into the facility, the evidence collected, or why Epstein was mentioned. A reference to Epstein is not proof that he received an item or that the contraband played any role in his death.

The timing and separate case number make the file a legitimate research lead. Any stronger account requires the opening communication, investigative reports, charging records if any, and closure documentation for 90C NY 3154599.

The Threats Against an Epstein Victim

The index identifies 9A NY 3144791 as an investigation opened on July 26, 2019, after threats against an Epstein victim were posted anonymously online. It says attempts to contact the poster went unanswered and the case closed on May 12, 2020.

The four page index does not identify the victim, quote the threats, name the platform, or state who posted them. Those details should not be inferred from the date or from other interviews conducted around the same period.

The existence of this file is significant on its own. It documents a distinct FBI case concerning threats to a victim while the New York sex trafficking investigation was underway. The opening record indexed as EFTA00129366 is a primary lead for reconstructing the case without exposing the survivor’s identity. Epstein Files

The Search Terms Page

EFTA00163966 lists the six case numbers followed by variations of Epstein’s name, Maxwell’s name, references to Epstein’s island, and aviation terms. It includes fields for passport and Social Security numbers that are redacted.

The aviation entries include:

David Rodgers, described as a pilot and longtime employee.
Epstein’s private jet.
Epstein’s helicopter.
Epstein’s flight logs.

The page appears designed to support a records search. It does not explain which databases were searched, whether every term was run in every system, whether searches included attachments and scanned images, or what results were returned. The appearance of David Rodgers as a search term establishes that his name was considered useful for retrieval. It is not an accusation against him.

The index even includes variant spellings of Epstein’s name. That is a reminder that a search using only one exact spelling or one case number may miss relevant records. The list is a starting point for an audit, not a complete account of the search’s coverage.

The Redacted Case Agent Page

EFTA00163967 is headed “Opening ECs Case Agent.” It repeats all six case numbers in a table intended to identify the opening special agent and supervisory special agent. The names are redacted.

An opening EC is an electronic communication used to document the opening of a case. This page indicates that opening records and agent assignments were part of the inquiry behind the summary. It does not itself provide the opening communications, their stated predication, or the agents’ names.

The redactions prevent a reader from tracing each file to an opening agent through this page alone. The underlying opening communications are more useful for establishing why each investigation began and what its initial scope was.

How the Evidence Moved

The index describes evidence from older Miami files being brought into the New York investigation and remaining material moving among field offices. These statements are unusually useful because a researcher may find the same item under more than one evidence designation.

Material	Movement described in EFTA00163964	Record needed to verify the transfer
Rodriguez case 1B evidence	Incorporated into New York case with new 1B numbers	Old and new number crosswalk and evidence receipts
Rodriguez case 1A material	Sent to New York in 2019, later sent to Washington Field Office	1A inventory and transfer records
Miami physical obstruction file	One box located in Palm Beach and arranged for March 2025 transport	Packing list, dispatch record, and receiving receipt
Florida case 1B evidence	Incorporated into New York case with new numbers	Crosswalk and evidence receipts
Remaining Florida file	Sent to New York in boxes and on DVDs, then to Washington Field Office	Box and disc inventory with transfer dates

A change in number or storage location does not prove an item disappeared. It does mean that a search limited to an old number or one office may fail to find it. The summary identifies where a complete chain of custody should be tested; it does not supply that chain in full.

What the Index Establishes

The document establishes that the FBI’s March 2025 case index summary recognized six related but distinct files. It gives administrative status for the two trafficking files, closure dates for four other matters, and specific descriptions of how older evidence was moved or renumbered.

It does not establish that all six cases were active in March 2025. It does not show that the prison contraband involved Epstein, beyond saying he was referenced. It does not identify the threatened survivor or the anonymous poster. It does not provide the search results produced by the terms on page three.

The practical value of the index is its map of case numbers, custody locations, and missing underlying records. Those are concrete leads for evaluating whether a later search or disclosure covered all relevant FBI holdings.

Questions for Further Investigation

What do the FBI’s “Pending Inactive” status codes mean, and when was substantive work last recorded in each trafficking file?
Where are the March 12, 2025 New York email and the case index extracts from which this summary was prepared?
What are the old and new 1B evidence numbers for items transferred from the Miami cases into the New York file?
Do shipping and receiving records confirm the March 2025 movement of the Rodriguez case box and the Florida boxes and DVDs?
What are the opening and closing communications for the prison contraband investigation, 90C NY 3154599?
What did the FBI establish about the anonymous threats in 9A NY 3144791, while preserving the victim’s identity?
Which systems were searched with the page three terms, and how were misspellings, scans, attachments, and aliases handled?
Why do related records give July 24 and July 25, 2006, as the opening date of the Florida FBI case?
