Craig Adams appears in the private aviation records associated with Jeffrey Epstein as a named passenger on June 18, 1998. The flight traveled from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Palm Beach International Airport aboard Gulfstream aircraft N908JE.

The published transcription of pilot David Rodgers’ logbook identifies four passengers: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Lynn Fontanilla and Craig Adams.

Multiple public flight indexes reproduce the same entry. Although the sources agree about the flight, many are derived from the same underlying aviation record and should not be counted as independent journeys.

Adams’s name is clearly present in the flight transcription. His complete legal identity, profession, reason for travel and relationship to the other passengers have not been independently established.

No reviewed evidence establishes that he worked for Epstein, witnessed abuse, participated in trafficking or was himself a survivor.


Identity and Biographical Background

The historical flight record identifies the passenger as Craig Adams.

Unlike many Epstein associates whose identities can be corroborated through business records, correspondence or public biographies, the passenger has not been connected to an independently authenticated professional or personal history.

The unredacted flight spreadsheet assigns him the initials CA and identifies him as the fourth recorded passenger on flight 1121.

The initials are consistent with his name but do not independently establish an occupation, residence or family relationship.

The Problem of Shared Names

Craig Adams is a relatively common name. Public records identify unrelated individuals with that name in law, business, sport and entertainment.

Those records should not be incorporated into this profile without a separate, independently verifiable identity connection.

In particular, unrelated litigation involving a person named Craig Adams does not establish an Epstein connection merely because the name appears in both sources.

Evidence Needed to Confirm Identity

The most useful identifying documents would include contemporary travel reservations, correspondence concerning the June 18 flight, a verified contact-book entry, business records, personal photographs with reliable identification, or a firsthand witness statement explaining who accompanied Epstein and Maxwell.

Until such documentation is established, the subject should remain identified solely as Craig Adams, the recorded 1998 aircraft passenger.


June 18, 1998: Flight 1121

The published flight-log reproduction identifies Craig Adams aboard a Gulfstream traveling from New York JFK to Palm Beach on June 18, 1998.

The aircraft registration was N908JE. The model was a Gulfstream G-1159B, and the recorded flight number was 1121.

David Rodgers’ logbook transcription identifies Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Lynn Fontanilla and Craig Adams in the passenger field.

What the Flight Establishes

The flight record establishes that Craig Adams was listed as traveling aboard Epstein-associated aircraft on a specific date and route.

It places him on the same recorded flight as Epstein and Maxwell.

It does not establish whether Adams was invited by Epstein, Maxwell, another passenger or someone outside the aircraft.

Nor does it establish who paid for his travel or why he was going to Palm Beach.

What the Flight Does Not Establish

A recorded journey is not evidence of criminal participation.

The passenger list does not establish that Adams was an employee, recruiter, enabler or witness to Epstein’s offenses.

It does not identify Adams’s age, financial circumstances or any personal vulnerability.

No conclusion about victim status can be drawn from this flight alone.


Aircraft N908JE and Epstein’s Aviation Operations

N908JE was a Gulfstream aircraft used within Jeffrey Epstein’s private aviation network.

The aircraft appears repeatedly in logs documenting domestic and international travel, including movements between New York, Florida and the United States Virgin Islands.

However, an individual passenger should be associated only with flights on which the records identify that person.

Craig Adams’s appearance on flight 1121 does not establish that he participated in other journeys made by N908JE.

Why Aircraft Registration Matters

Aircraft registration provides an important way to distinguish flights, especially when different aircraft were operating within the same broader network.

The registration N908JE appears with a Gulfstream G-1159B designation on the June 18 entry.

The precise model and registration help separate this record from flights involving other Epstein-associated aircraft.


The Original David Rodgers Flight Logs

Pilot David Rodgers maintained aviation records that later became part of litigation and criminal proceedings relating to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The records contain dates, aircraft identifiers, departure and arrival locations, passenger names or initials, and operational remarks.

The Craig Adams name appears in the published transcription covering June 1998.

Handwritten Records Versus Searchable Spreadsheets

The independent flight-source comparison explains that different public versions of the Rodgers records exist.

They include handwritten flight exhibits and a later structured spreadsheet.

The structured version permits searching and sorting, but name expansion and initials matching may reflect decisions made by the compiler.

Therefore, the original handwritten record is more authoritative for identifying what the pilot actually recorded.

One Flight, Multiple Publications

The Craig Adams entry appears in several published sources.

These include the transcribed flight-log PDF, an indexed passenger page and a structured passenger spreadsheet.

However, these sources largely reproduce the same underlying aviation information.

The repeated publication of flight 1121 does not establish multiple encounters or independent eyewitness corroboration.


EFTA02846460: Maxwell Trial Flight-Log Collection

The broader aviation evidence was released in the Maxwell criminal-trial collection as Government Exhibit 662-RR.

The collection is identified as EFTA02846460.

The Epstein Data flight-log PDF is the relevant original-numbered collection for further comparison.

However, the precise page containing flight 1121 has not been independently established from the original PDF during this review.

The exhibit identifier should therefore be cited as a collection reference, not misrepresented as the exact page containing Craig Adams.

Limitations of Redacted Exhibits

Some versions of the Maxwell trial flight logs contain redactions that do not appear in other published transcriptions.

Those differences can affect identification of passengers.

The presence of an unredacted name in a secondary spreadsheet does not necessarily mean the same full name is visible in every original court exhibit.

Researchers should therefore preserve the source version used for each identification.


June 21, 1998: The Subsequent Flight

Flight 1122 was recorded three days later, on June 21, 1998.

The same Gulfstream traveled from Palm Beach International Airport to Teterboro, New Jersey.

The passenger list differed from the June 18 group.

The flight-log comparison identifies Jeffrey Epstein, Ralph Ellison, Lynn Fontanilla and Gary Roxburgh on flight 1122.

Craig Adams is not named.

DateFlightRoutePassengers
June 18, 1998 1121 JFK to Palm Beach Epstein, Maxwell, Fontanilla, Adams
June 21, 1998 1122 Palm Beach to Teterboro Epstein, Ellison, Fontanilla, Roxburgh

Why the Passenger Change Matters

The two manifests establish that the passenger group changed between the flights.

They do not establish where Craig Adams stayed in the interval or how he left Palm Beach.

His absence from flight 1122 also prevents the June 21 flight from being described as his confirmed return journey.

Adams may have traveled separately, remained in Florida or made other arrangements. None of those possibilities is independently established.


Lynn Fontanilla and Fontanella

The original published log transcription renders the third passenger’s surname Fontanilla.

Some secondary indexes normalize the name as Lynn Fontanella.

The difference is relevant because the spelling could affect searches for correspondence and other records.

There is no basis to treat the two spellings as two distinct passengers on flight 1121.

However, the correct legal spelling should not be declared conclusively established without independent identity documentation.

Was Lynn Connected to Craig Adams?

The flight establishes that Lynn and Adams traveled aboard the same aircraft.

It does not establish a personal, family, employment or financial relationship.

The fact that Lynn appears on a subsequent flight without Adams provides useful travel context but does not clarify the relationship between the two passengers.


Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein

The verified documentary connection between Craig Adams and Jeffrey Epstein is the June 18, 1998 shared flight.

No independently established employment contract, financial transaction, letter, email or witness statement explains the relationship.

Consequently, Adams cannot accurately be described as a confirmed friend, business partner, employee or criminal associate.

The available evidence supports the narrower designation of recorded aircraft passenger.


Relationship With Ghislaine Maxwell

Ghislaine Maxwell is identified among the passengers on flight 1121.

The available record does not establish that she personally knew Adams before the journey or maintained contact afterward.

It also does not establish that she arranged his travel.

No evidence reviewed supports attributing Maxwell’s later-proven criminal conduct to Adams by association.


Ralph Ellison and Gary Roxburgh

Ralph Ellison and Gary Roxburgh appear on the June 21 flight rather than the June 18 flight naming Craig Adams.

Those individuals are relevant to the aircraft’s immediate travel chronology.

However, their appearance on a later flight does not establish that they met Adams, traveled with him or participated in the same activities.

The distinction is important when constructing accurate co-passenger networks.


Employment and Financial Connections

No verified employment relationship between Craig Adams and Epstein has been established.

The flight record contains no professional title.

No independently verified payment, invoice, bank transfer, reimbursement, contract or corporate record identifies the passenger as an Epstein employee or financial associate.

These evidentiary limitations prevent an occupational classification beyond recorded passenger.


Did Adams Visit Epstein’s Palm Beach Residence?

Flight 1121 ended at Palm Beach International Airport.

Epstein maintained a residence in Palm Beach during the period.

However, landing at Palm Beach airport is not proof that a passenger visited Epstein’s home.

Ground transportation records, property visitor logs, photographs or firsthand testimony would be required to establish such a visit.

No such corroborating record was independently established for Craig Adams.


Little St. James and Zorro Ranch

The flight identifying Craig Adams did not travel to St. Thomas or Santa Fe.

No additional verified flight attributed to Adams has been established in the reviewed data.

Accordingly, there is no documentary basis here for claiming he visited Little St. James, Zorro Ranch or another Epstein property beyond arriving in Palm Beach.

Presence on an Epstein-associated aircraft should not be used to infer visits to other destinations traveled by that aircraft.


Contact Book and Communications Research

No independently verified contact-book entry has been matched to the Craig Adams appearing on flight 1121.

No original email, telephone record, appointment diary or personal letter explaining the flight has been established.

The absence of an identified record in the sources reviewed is not proof that no communication ever occurred.

It does mean that no broader relationship can presently be asserted as a verified fact.


Other Individuals Named Craig Adams

Public searches identify numerous people named Craig Adams.

Some appear in unrelated civil litigation, business filings or other public records.

No reliable identity evidence links those people with the June 1998 aircraft passenger.

Their personal histories, finances and legal matters must not be attributed to the Epstein-associated name merely because they share it.

This restriction is particularly important when an investigation concerns individuals associated with serious criminal allegations.


Independent Sleuth Research

Independent investigators have developed useful comparisons of the different versions of Epstein’s flight logs.

The flight-source comparison assembled by independent researcher Tommy Carstensen explains the differences between handwritten trial exhibits, earlier released manifests and searchable spreadsheets.

That work is important for Craig Adams because it demonstrates how the same historical flight may appear in multiple searchable sources while representing a single underlying event.

No separate Craig Adams-specific investigative report from the principal EpsteinWiki contributor group was independently verified during the focused searches informing this profile.

That finding should not be interpreted as proof that such research does not exist elsewhere.


Was Craig Adams a Survivor?

No verified firsthand statement, FBI victim interview, civil complaint or court finding examined for this article establishes Craig Adams as a survivor of Epstein’s sexual abuse or trafficking.

The aviation record does not establish Adams’s age, gender identity, circumstances or reasons for accepting the flight.

It therefore provides insufficient evidence to classify the passenger as a victim.

Likewise, no substantiated allegation of participation in trafficking or sexual abuse was identified.

The appropriate classification remains documented passenger with unresolved broader circumstances.

Outstanding Investigative Questions

Who Was Craig Adams?

Independent biographical documents are necessary to identify the passenger beyond the recorded name.

Why Did He Travel With Epstein and Maxwell?

No verified correspondence or firsthand statement explains the trip.

Was Adams Invited by Another Passenger?

The manifest does not identify the person arranging his travel.

Did He Visit Epstein’s Palm Beach Property?

Arrival at the airport is established, but a property visit is not.

How Did Adams Leave Florida?

He is not named on the June 21 aircraft return. No alternative return journey has been verified.

Are There Other Records Using His Full Name?

Additional correspondence and court-file searches could establish his identity, but unrelated name matches should remain excluded.

Can the Exact EFTA Page Be Established?

The broader Maxwell trial exhibit is identified, but the precise original handwritten page showing flight 1121 has not been independently mapped.


Assessment of the Documentary Record

Craig Adams is a recorded passenger aboard Jeffrey Epstein-associated aircraft on June 18, 1998.

The available flight documentation establishes the date, route, aircraft and four named passengers.

Multiple published reproductions support the transcription, although they originate from overlapping aviation sources.

The subsequent June 21 flight records a different passenger group and provides no proof of Adams’s return journey.

The current documentary evidence does not establish Adams’s identity beyond his name, occupation, relationship with Epstein or Maxwell, or presence at any Epstein property.

It also does not establish survivor status or criminal involvement.

The responsible conclusion is limited but important: Craig Adams appears on one documented Epstein-related flight. His broader biography and the circumstances of his travel remain unknown.

The original record should be preserved accurately, without attributing unrelated identities, unsupported allegations or additional journeys to the passenger.
