| Classification | People; Flight Logs & Manifests; Document Evidence |
Cheri Krape appears in the documentary record of Jeffrey Epstein’s private aircraft operations. Flight indexes identify her by name on two September 2000 journeys. A court-filed passenger compilation uses the combined name Cheri Krape Lynch for earlier travel and subsequent March 2001 journeys.
The March 2001 entries are particularly important because a transcribed manifest names Cheri Lynch on March 16, while additional legs use the initials CL.
These records provide more substantial evidence of a possible continuing association with Epstein’s travel network than the September 2000 flights alone.
However, the precise identity of every passenger-name variant, the nature of the relationship, and any employment or survivor status remain unresolved.
Identity and Name Variations
Several names appear in Epstein-related flight records that may represent Cheri Krape.
The Epstein Data passenger network separately indexes Cheri Krape, Sherrie Crape, Chori Krove and Cheri Lynch.
These are not automatically equivalent identities. The database’s separate entries indicate that name normalization has not resolved every apparent variation.
In contrast, the court-filed compilation in Giuffre v. Maxwell uses the combined name Cheri Krape Lynch, with the additional notation Sheree.
Identity Register
| Name | Source Context | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri Krape | September 2000 manifests | Corroborated exact-name identification |
| Cheri Krape Lynch | Giuffre v. Maxwell flight compilation | Identity attributed by court exhibit compiler |
| Cheri Lynch | March 16, 2001 passenger transcription | Corroborating surname lead |
| Sherrie Crape | January 1998 flight entries | Possible name variant |
| Chori Krove | May 1998 passenger entries | Unresolved identity |
| Sheree | Parenthetical court exhibit notation | Possible alternative first-name transcription |
The public records reviewed do not establish a complete legal name history. Independent identification is still necessary before every entry can be combined into a single confirmed travel history.
January 1998: Early Aircraft Travel
The earliest possible flight appearances occur in January 1998.
A court-filed passenger compilation identifies Cheri Krape Lynch on the January 25 flight from St. Martin to Teterboro.
The flight, numbered 1066, involved aircraft N908JE and is associated with GIUFFRE 000721.
Other passengers identified in the compilation include Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Emmy Tayler and Melinda Luntz.
Additional January flight entries contain the name Sherrie Crape or a similar rendering.
These may represent the same woman, but original handwriting and independent identity evidence are required before treating the full January travel sequence as confirmed.
May 1998: Additional Possible Appearances
May 1998 manifests contain further passenger names resembling Cheri Krape.
A May 9 flight from Palm Beach to St. Thomas contains a name rendered Sherree in one transcription.
May 11 and May 20 records include a passenger whose name has been normalized as Chori Krove.
The May 20 journey involved travel from Santa Fe to Los Angeles.
Because these spellings differ substantially, they remain identity leads rather than confirmed Cheri Krape appearances.
The distinction is important when reconstructing travel to Epstein’s New Mexico properties. A similarly transcribed name does not establish that Krape traveled to Zorro Ranch.
September 10, 2000: Palm Beach to St. Thomas
The September 10 flight provides one of the clearest exact-name appearances of Cheri Krape.
The manifest identifies her aboard aircraft N908JE, flight 1384, traveling from Palm Beach International Airport to St. Thomas.
Other listed passengers include Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Emmy Tayler and AP, an unidentified passenger represented by initials.
| Field | Recorded Information |
|---|---|
| Date | September 10, 2000 |
| Flight | 1384 |
| Aircraft | N908JE |
| Route | Palm Beach to St. Thomas |
| Named Passenger | Cheri Krape |
| Other Passengers | Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Emmy Tayler and AP |
| Bates Reference | GIUFFRE 000742 |
The manifest establishes travel to St. Thomas. It does not establish transportation to Little St. James or activities on the island.
September 12, 2000: Return to Teterboro
The September 12 manifest lists Cheri Krape aboard flight 1385 from St. Thomas to Teterboro, New Jersey.
The same principal passenger group appears in the transcribed record.
The two flights establish a recorded travel interval between September 10 and September 12.
They do not explain the purpose of the trip, Krape’s accommodations, or any visits to other properties during that period.
March 2001: Previously Omitted Flight Records
The March 2001 records materially expand the documented travel history attributed to Cheri Krape Lynch.
A transcribed passenger manifest names Cheri Lynch on March 16, 2001, aboard N909JE. The court-filed compilation then identifies Cheri Krape Lynch on the March 19 return flight.
The apparent sequence includes three flight legs.
| Date | Flight | Route | Passenger Identification |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 16, 2001 | 1474 | Palm Beach to Miami | Cheri Lynch |
| March 16, 2001 | 1475 | Miami to St. Thomas | CL |
| March 19, 2001 | 1476 | St. Thomas to LaGuardia | CL; expanded to Cheri Krape Lynch by court compilation |
March 16: Palm Beach to Miami
Flight 1474 lists Cheri Lynch with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Alexia Wallaert, Banu Kucukkoylu and another passenger recorded by initials.
This is a significant additional name appearance because it uses Lynch rather than Krape.
However, the original handwritten manifest and the compiler’s underlying identity evidence must be reconciled before declaring that the name refers to the September 2000 passenger.
March 16: Miami to St. Thomas
Flight 1475 continued from Miami to St. Thomas.
The passenger transcription includes CL, Epstein, Maxwell, Alexia Wallaert, Banu Kucukkoylu, Ed Tuttle and another passenger recorded by initials.
The consecutive routing strengthens the possibility that CL refers to the Cheri Lynch named on the preceding flight.
Nevertheless, initials alone do not conclusively identify an individual.
March 19: St. Thomas to LaGuardia
The court-filed flight compilation identifies Cheri Krape Lynch on flight 1476 from St. Thomas to LaGuardia Airport in New York.
The entry also lists Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Alexia Wallaert, Banu Kucukkoylu, Ed Tuttle and another passenger identified by initials.
The corresponding Bates reference is GIUFFRE 000747.
This record extends the compiled relationship between Cheri Krape Lynch and Epstein’s aircraft network into March 2001.
The Ed Tuttle Connection
Ed Tuttle appears on the March 2001 St. Thomas travel sequence.
Tuttle was involved in architectural work associated with Epstein’s Little St. James development.
His presence on the same aircraft is relevant to understanding the mixture of professional and personal passengers within Epstein’s travel network.
However, shared travel does not establish that Cheri Krape worked with Tuttle or participated in architecture, construction, landscaping or property management.
Relationship With Epstein and Maxwell
The September 2000 manifests establish direct shared travel between Cheri Krape, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The court compilation attributes additional January 1998 and March 2001 travel to Cheri Krape Lynch.
These records support a documented aircraft association across several years, subject to resolving the combined surname and earlier name variants.
They do not establish whether Krape was a friend, employee, contractor, invited guest or individual traveling under another arrangement.
No verified contract, payment or direct correspondence defining that relationship has been established in this review.
Possible Employment and Family Connections
A social-media investigator has claimed that Cheri Krape Lynch and Nicole Krape Hesse were sisters and that both worked for Epstein.
Neither part of that claim has been established through independent identity documentation or verified employment records reviewed for this article.
Accordingly, the possible family relationship and employment connection remain investigative leads only.
Payroll records, employment correspondence, business records and firsthand testimony would be needed to confirm either claim.
Possible Cheri Lynch Shipping Record
A federal trial exhibit identifies a FedEx shipment under the name Cheri Lynch during October 2002.
The shipment was reportedly directed to an Epstein-related recipient in New York.
The sender’s name may be relevant because the March 2001 manifest separately records Cheri Lynch.
However, the shipping document does not itself establish that the sender was the same person as the aircraft passenger.
Nor does the record establish the contents or purpose of the shipment.
The shipping reference therefore remains a separate lead requiring identity verification.
Was Cheri Krape an Epstein Survivor?
A secondary Epstein research database labels Cheri Krape Lynch as a victim.
The available entry does not identify a firsthand survivor statement, specific FBI interview, sworn allegation or judicial finding supporting the classification.
Consequently, the claim cannot be adopted as verified.
That does not mean Krape was not victimized. It means the evidentiary basis for the classification has not been established.
Flight records prove neither victimization nor participation in trafficking.
EpsteinWiki should maintain an undetermined classification unless additional reliable evidence becomes available.

Unresolved Investigative Questions
Do All Recorded Names Identify the Same Woman?
The combined court name and consecutive 2001 flight records strengthen the identity hypothesis. They do not eliminate the need to verify the original handwritten entries.
How Many Flights Can Be Reliably Attributed to Krape?
The two September 2000 journeys are clearly indexed. Additional 1998 and March 2001 appearances require name-level reconciliation before establishing a definitive total.
Did Krape Work for Epstein?
No verified employment agreement, payroll record or firsthand employment testimony has been established.
Was Nicole Krape Hesse a Relative or Fellow Employee?
The alleged family and professional relationship has not been independently corroborated.
Was Krape a Survivor?
The secondary classification lacks an identified supporting original record. Survivor status remains undetermined.
What Was the Purpose of the Caribbean Travel?
Passenger manifests establish routes and shared travel, not the purpose of the journeys or subsequent activities at the destinations.
Are There Additional FBI or DOJ Records?
A comprehensive document-level search for original EFTA records, investigative interviews and associated communications remains necessary.
Assessment of the Documentary Record
Cheri Krape is a documented passenger in Epstein-associated aircraft records. Two September 2000 flights identify her by full name.
A court-filed compilation attributes earlier 1998 travel and a March 2001 journey to Cheri Krape Lynch.
The March 2001 sequence is especially important because a passenger is identified as Cheri Lynch before the initials CL appear on subsequent legs.
These findings expand the known documentary trail and make identity reconciliation a significant investigative priority.
Nevertheless, the current evidence does not establish Krape’s employment responsibilities, personal relationship with Epstein, victim status or knowledge of criminal conduct.
No allegation of wrongdoing should be inferred merely from her presence aboard Epstein’s aircraft.
