Brent Tindall

Key Takeaways

• The most explicit employment reference is David Rogers’s August 15, 2006 FBI interview, which identifies Tindall as Epstein’s chef in 2004.
• A staff directory independently labels him “Chef,” and Larry Visoski’s 2009 deposition identifies a person spelled “Brent Tyndall” as someone he believed was the chef.
• Full-name entries appear in flight records. Initials, blank forms, crossed-out entries and later transcriptions require separate treatment and cannot safely be combined into an unqualified flight total.
• Civil discovery documents name Tindall as a potential source of information. The statements belong to the parties who supplied the lists; they do not establish what Tindall personally knew.
• Duplicate releases of an interview are copies of one account. Employment, a directory entry or a shared flight does not by itself establish criminal conduct.

Who the Records Identify

Brent Tindall is documented in the released records as a member of Jeffrey Epstein’s household staff. The clearest role description appears in the 2006 David Rogers interview and in a staff address and telephone sheet that places “Chef” beside his name. The latter appears beneath the directory’s New York residence heading.

The sources establish a name and work connection, but provide no reliable basis here for a wider biography. This article does not identify him with unrelated people who share the name. The spelling “Tyndall” is preserved when describing the pilot deposition rather than silently correcting the transcript.

The FBI Interview and Chef Employment

The FBI’s three-page FD-302 records an interview with David Rogers in West Palm Beach on August 15, 2006. Its transcription date is August 18. Rogers described his work as Epstein’s pilot and supplied investigators with a list described as primarily current and former employees. On page 3, stamped EFTA00087612, the entry reads: “BRENT TINDALL – EPSTEIN’s chef in 2004.”

This is an investigator’s record of Rogers’s statement. It is not an interview with Tindall, an employment contract or a judicial finding. The entry supplies the year 2004 but does not establish when Tindall was hired, when he left, his full duties, or which residences he served throughout his employment.

The same chef description appears in EFTA00159173, page 3, stamped EFTA00159175 and in a reformatted copy, EFTA00269585, page 3, stamped EFTA00269587. Those copies help locate the passage in different productions; they do not represent separate witnesses corroborating it.

What Larry Visoski Said Under Oath

In his October 15, 2009 deposition, pilot Larry Visoski was asked about a flight entry dated March 27, 2003 and whether he knew “Brent Tyndall.” He answered yes. Asked who that was, he said: “I believe he was the chef.” The passage is on PDF page 34, transcript page 108, lines 15–21.

The questioning then asked whether Visoski remembered that particular flight. His answer on transcript page 109, line 1 was no. The role identification and the limit on his flight recollection should be read together. This testimony supports how Visoski identified the named passenger, without supplying a detailed account of what Tindall did on the trip.

Flight Records and Their Limits

The current released pilot log EFTA02846460, page 100 visibly records the full name across the February 28, 2003 Monterey-to-Albuquerque entry and in the March 27, 2003 JFK-to-St. Thomas entry. Page 102 contains another full-name entry on May 22, 2003, JFK to Palm Beach. These are travel records, not evidence of the purpose of a trip or conduct at a destination.

The register below separates visible full-name source records from a later compilation. It is a verified selection within the cited releases, not a lifetime travel history or an asserted total across every Epstein file. Airport codes are retained so readers can compare the entries with the documents.

Airport codes: MRY, Monterey; ABQ, Albuquerque; JFK, New York; PBI/PBIA, Palm Beach International; TEB, Teterboro; TIST, St. Thomas.

Pages 1–5 of the released 2004 chronology contain 26 named flight arrival/departure entries at Palm Beach, including dates covered by the manifests above. Its named dates are recorded below. The compilation does not generally provide both endpoints and should not be read as 26 newly corroborated journeys.

A date conflict illustrates why the underlying pages matter. The full-name manifest for trip 1726 gives July 16, 2004, Teterboro to Palm Beach. The pilot log dates trip 1726 July 15 and uses the initials “BT”. The released chronology uses July 16. The article preserves that discrepancy rather than converting the records into a falsely precise single date.

No full-name flight total is inferred from initials alone. Undated, partly blank passenger forms are not counted as completed journeys, and crossed-out passenger entries are not treated as proof that the person flew. A St. Thomas arrival also does not, by itself, establish onward travel to Little St. James.

Contact and Administrative Records

The staff directory at EFTA00007936 labels Tindall as a chef. Another released copy is EFTA02785028, page 4, stamped EFTA02785031, filed in the 2015 civil case against Maxwell. These pages preserve the work-role description without establishing a complete employment timeline.

A separate redacted contact-book image lists “Tindall, Brent.” It confirms that the name occurs in the directory. Contact information is not reproduced here, and a contact-book entry alone does not establish the nature or frequency of a relationship.

The statement collection EFTA01704093 also contains activity sections under his full name, including pages 4 and 48. This is an additional administrative appearance. The section headings are not a finding about who authorized particular expenses or their purpose; account identifiers and amounts and merchant-level details are unnecessary to this profile.

Civil Litigation Mentions

Tindall’s name appears in several kinds of discovery material, which carry different evidentiary weight:

• In 2009 unverified interrogatory answers, page 9, a plaintiff listed Tindall among people said to have knowledge of Epstein’s finances and sexual interest in minors. The cover notice expressly calls the answers unverified. This is the plaintiff’s discovery assertion; it does not show that Tindall adopted it or describe a specific act by him.
• The plaintiff’s Rule 26 disclosure in the 2015 civil case against Maxwell lists him as entry 86 and attributes knowledge of the defendant’s conduct to him. The document was served November 11, 2015 and filed as an exhibit on March 22, 2016. The entry is on PDF page 14; the service certificate is on page 17.
• Maxwell’s third supplemental disclosures, dated June 17, 2016, also list Tindall, as entry 65. Unlike some surrounding entries, his entry supplies no descriptive statement of what he supposedly knew. The entry is on PDF page 13; the signature date is on page 18. This copy was filed January 4, 2024, so 2024 is not the date of the underlying disclosure.
• A June 30, 2016 discovery letter proposed electronic searches. Its search-term list, entries 223–224, includes “brent*” and “tindall*”. A proposed keyword is a search instruction, not a discovered communication or an allegation of wrongdoing.

None of these list entries is Tindall’s own testimony. Naming a potential witness does not establish that the person was deposed, that the stated knowledge was proved, or that the person committed misconduct. No statement or response from Tindall was located in the sources used for this article.

Page numbers below refer to PDF pages unless a transcript page is specified. Bates stamps identify the individual released page. Repeated copies are grouped so that repetition is not mistaken for independent evidence.

What Remains Unestablished

The reviewed material does not establish Tindall’s hiring or departure dates, a complete list of workplaces or trips, the purpose of each journey, or his knowledge of specific crimes. The civil discovery assertions remain attributed assertions. No criminal charge, adjudicated finding of misconduct, or first-person account by Tindall was identified in the sources cited here; that statement describes this review’s coverage, not a certification of every court record.

Searches included Tindall, the reversed contact-book name, Tyndall, and the single-l spelling Tindal. OCR errors, redactions, duplicate productions and documents without searchable text limit completeness. The article relies on visible source pages for its substantive claims and does not use older unredacted copies to fill current redactions.
