Felicia Taylor

Snapshot

Felicia Roderica Sturt Taylor (August 28, 1964 to September 8, 2023) was an American business journalist, television anchor, correspondent, and documentary producer whose name appears in multiple collections of Jeffrey Epstein’s released records.

The identified evidence includes three aircraft flight segments in 1996 and 1997, a contact-book entry, direct email exchanges in May and July 2010 and August 2011, a September 2010 request from Epstein’s office for another person’s contact details, February 2013 quantitative meeting schedules, a September 2013 invitation and appointment updates, automated LinkedIn notifications in 2014, and a third-party news reference in 2015.

The documents establish several distinct forms of recorded contact and reference. They do not establish that Taylor participated in Epstein’s abuse or trafficking operation, knew about his crimes, or committed criminal wrongdoing.

Who Was Felicia Taylor?

Felicia Taylor was a television journalist best known for business reporting and news anchoring. Her career included work with the Financial News Network, Financial Times Television, WNBC, CNBC, and CNN International.

The published obituary in The New York Times identifies her as the daughter of actor Rod Taylor and fashion model Mary Hilem.

Taylor attended Milton Academy and graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor’s degree in English.

She later worked in financial journalism, reporting on business and financial affairs for national and international television audiences.

Following her television career, Taylor produced Far From Home, a documentary concerning the effects of climate change on communities in Senegal, particularly children.

She died at her home in Palm Beach in September 2023 at age 59.

Her career in business journalism provides relevant context for her appearance in Epstein’s February 2013 quantitative investment meeting schedules. It does not independently establish that Taylor served as Epstein’s financial adviser or participated in investment transactions.

Family and Social Background

Taylor was born into a family with connections to the entertainment and real estate industries.

Her father, Rod Taylor, appeared in numerous films, including Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Her mother, Mary Hilem, worked as a fashion model.

Following her parents’ divorce, Taylor’s mother married Chicago real estate developer Arthur Rubloff, who adopted Felicia. Her mother later married Florida businessman Lewis M. Schott.

These relationships provide biographical context and help explain Taylor’s connections to New York and Palm Beach social environments.

However, family prominence and residence in locations associated with Epstein do not establish involvement in his activities.

Identity Verification

The professional biography and obituary identify the television journalist Felicia Taylor. The contact book, flight logs, emails, and schedules use that name. In an August 12, 2011 exchange, Epstein says he saw the recipient on television while in Dubai. This supports, but does not independently prove, the identification with the journalist. The surviving records do not provide complete biographical identifiers for every occurrence.

Nevertheless, the historical flight-log and contact-book records do not always contain complete biographical identifiers. Consequently, a responsible investigation should distinguish a strongly supported identity match from an independently authenticated identification on every document.

No unrelated person sharing the name should be incorporated into this profile without evidence establishing that the records concern the same individual.

Epstein’s Contact Book

The name “Taylor, Felicia” is visible in the DOJ-released redacted contact book, PDF page 53 (printed page 58).

Her contact details are redacted in that release. A secondary name index reports multiple telephone numbers, but their number and content cannot be verified from the redacted page. Retaining a contact entry does not establish that Epstein used it or that its details remained current.

An address-book entry is evidence of retained contact information, not proof of an individual’s activities or knowledge.

EpsteinWiki does not reproduce historical private telephone numbers, residential addresses, or other sensitive contact details from the book.

Historical Flight Records

The Epstein Data flight-network index records three passenger appearances under Felicia Taylor’s name between August 18, 1996, and April 17, 1997.

These entries are important because they predate the later email and calendar evidence by more than a decade.

The three segments are also visible on the DOJ-released handwritten flight logs, printed pages 42, 43, and 47 (Part 3 PDF pages 2, 3, and 7). These pages record aircraft N908JE and model G1159B. The handwritten entries take precedence over conflicting passenger transcriptions.

August 18, 1996: Teterboro to Martha’s Vineyard

The first recorded segment, numbered 876 in the historical transcription, traveled from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Martha’s Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts.

The handwritten entry for flight 876 lists “JE”, David Rothman, and Felicia Taylor, followed by “2 PAX”. It does not explicitly list “GM” or Ghislaine Maxwell. The secondary transcription that adds Maxwell is not supported by this page.

The entry establishes a recorded shared flight. It does not explain the purpose of the trip or establish any activity after arrival.

August 18, 1996: Martha’s Vineyard to Teterboro

Flight 877 returned from Martha’s Vineyard to Teterboro on the same date.

The reproduced passenger list includes Jeffrey Epstein, David Rothman, and Felicia Taylor.

The handwritten return entry likewise does not explicitly list Maxwell. The two original pages do not support the claimed contrast between her presence on the outbound flight and absence on the return. An omitted name is not proof that a person was absent.

April 17, 1997: Teterboro to Palm Beach

The third identified segment, numbered 968, records travel from Teterboro to Palm Beach International Airport on April 17, 1997. Felicia Taylor is named on the original handwritten page 47. Other entries include initials and first names; their expanded identities in a flight-network index should not be mistaken for full names written in the primary log.

Indexed flight-network data records Felicia Taylor as a fellow passenger of individuals associated with the Dubin family, including Glenn Dubin and related contacts.

The Epstein Data Dubin entity profile identifies one overlapping flight with Taylor on April 17, 1997.

The passenger grouping is relevant to understanding the social network represented in the aircraft records. It does not establish a financial relationship or criminal association.

Flight Evidence Summary

These are three flight segments, not necessarily three separate trips. Their dates, routes, and references to Felicia Taylor were checked against the original page images. This does not authenticate every expanded co-passenger identity or establish the purpose of the journeys.

May and July 2010: Direct Exchanges About Possible Visits

In EFTA02530157, dated May 24, 2010, Taylor asks whether she can visit during a coming weekend in “PB”. Epstein replies, “Of course”. The exchange records a proposed visit and a welcoming reply, not confirmation that the visit occurred.

In EFTA02409508, dated July 14, 2010, Taylor asks about a weekend visit and proposes Saturday afternoon. Epstein asks her to call before coming, and she asks him to let her know an approximate time. The three-page chain establishes direct two-way correspondence and planning. It does not document arrival or a completed meeting.

September 2010: Request for Another Person’s Contact Details

In EFTA02420570, dated September 17, 2010, Lesley Groff reports leaving Taylor a message asking whether she has an email address and telephone number for Mayor Bloomberg’s assistant, named “Pat Harrus” in the document. The purpose was to obtain contact information, not to determine Taylor’s availability.

The record does not show whether Taylor answered or supplied the requested information. The adjacent EFTA02420571 is a separate Valerie Post correspondence chain and is not evidence of contact with Taylor.

August 2011: Direct Television-Related Exchange

In EFTA00917848, dated August 12, 2011, an email from “Taylor, Felicia” asks Epstein what he makes of an unspecified situation. He replies that he saw her on television in Dubai. The excerpt does not identify the subject of her question or establish that Taylor was in Dubai.

February 2013: Quantitative Investment Meetings

Several released documents describe quantitative investment meetings scheduled for February 21, 2013.

The EFTA01902800 meeting schedule identifies Todd Meister as the organizer and lists Steve Hanson, “Jes”, Felicia Taylor, Michael Wolff, and Nicole Junkermann as people expected to sit in. This entry uses only the first name “Jes”; the identification as Jes Staley is a contextual interpretation rather than a full name written in this schedule.

The related EFTA01902261 schedule repeats the intended meeting, scheduled between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

A further February 21 email, EFTA00954217, includes Taylor in an anticipated participant group and contains a request concerning arrangements for those attending.

These documents provide mutually consistent descriptions of a planned meeting but may derive from the same underlying calendar and communication chain.

They should not be counted as separate meetings simply because more than one copy was produced.

The Financial Meeting Context

The term quantitative investment commonly refers to investment strategies using statistical models, mathematics, or systematic analysis of financial data.

The records establish that Taylor’s name appeared among expected participants. They do not identify her as a portfolio manager, financial sponsor, or contractual participant.

Given her business journalism background, she may have had a professional interest in the subject. However, the documents do not explicitly establish her reason for being listed.

Other People Named in the Schedule

Jes Staley was a senior banking executive. Nicole Junkermann was an investor. Michael Wolff was a writer and media figure. Todd Meister and Steve Hanson were involved in the described arrangements.

The common schedule illustrates Epstein’s relationships across media and financial circles.

It does not establish a shared criminal enterprise, improper investment activity, or knowledge of Epstein’s trafficking operation.

September 17, 2013: Direct Invitation

The September 17, 2013 email, EFTA00383438, provides one of the clearest documented communications involving Felicia Taylor.

Lesley Groff wrote directly to Taylor on Epstein’s behalf, asking whether she could visit his Manhattan residence on September 19 at approximately 4:00 or 5:00 p.m.

The invitation identified Epstein’s East 71st Street residence in Manhattan.

Unlike a contact-book entry or a third-party message, this document establishes a communication addressed directly to Taylor.

It does not contain an independently verified acceptance or attendance record.

September 18, 2013: Tentative Appointment

The EFTA00970919 schedule lists a tentative appointment involving Taylor at 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. on September 19.

The EFTA00970901 record preserves another version of that tentative entry.

The EFTA00872613 correspondence also includes Taylor in an updated schedule.

These references reflect continuing planning. They do not, by themselves, establish that the meeting took place.

September 18 to 19, 2013: Revised Appointment Times

Multiple later schedule versions list Taylor at 5:00 p.m. or 5:45 p.m.

The EFTA00383317 schedule lists a 5:00 p.m. appointment.

The EFTA00383331 correspondence repeats the appointment in a forwarded scheduling chain.

The EFTA00383337 correspondence includes the same appointment in another circulated schedule.

The EFTA00639219 schedule also contains a 5:00 p.m. entry.

Meanwhile, the EFTA00383218 record lists the appointment at 5:45 p.m.

The EFTA01960505 version similarly places Taylor at 5:45 p.m.

A contemporaneous message explains the later time: EFTA00383204, sent on September 19 at 18:05:31 UTC, reports that Taylor will now come at 5:45 p.m. and says she will have only 30 minutes. This is a reported agreement and time change, stronger evidence of planning than a calendar entry alone. It still does not verify that she arrived or stayed for that duration.

They should not be interpreted as proof of multiple visits without separate evidence.

The September 19 Schedule in Context

The September 19 scheduling records place the proposed Taylor appointment among numerous other engagements.

The surrounding schedule includes travel from the United States Virgin Islands to New York, an appointment involving Rich and Darren, communications concerning Jes Staley, and later dinner arrangements involving Terje Rød-Larsen and Ehud Barak.

These entries describe Epstein’s intended daily activities. They do not demonstrate that Taylor attended every associated event or met the other people named in the schedule.

In particular, a person’s appearance on the same day as a dinner guest does not establish that the two attended a common gathering.

Appointment Schedule Reconciliation

The records show an invitation, successive calendar entries, and a September 19 message reporting that Taylor planned to come at 5:45 p.m. with 30 minutes available.

This establishes a reported plan and intended duration. The reviewed documents do not conclusively establish actual attendance, how long any visit lasted, its purpose, or what was discussed.

2014 LinkedIn Notifications

Two additional records discovered during this review contain references to Felicia Taylor in automated LinkedIn network activity emails.

The EFTA00684243 document contains a LinkedIn network update mentioning Taylor and a newly added connection.

The EFTA00684714 document includes another network digest referring to Taylor’s LinkedIn connections.

These records are significant primarily for source classification.

LinkedIn automatically generates activity digests that may mention individuals whose updates appeared in a recipient’s network. Such a notification is not a direct message from Taylor and does not establish an intentional communication with Epstein.

Nor does it prove that Epstein opened the message, clicked the profile, or maintained an active relationship with the person mentioned.

These documents should be categorized as incidental social-network notifications, separate from direct correspondence and meeting arrangements.

September 2015: Third-Party News Reference

The September 2015 correspondence, EFTA01805610, includes a third-party reference to news coverage involving Taylor.

The communication concerns a publicly reported driving-related incident.

Its relevance to the Epstein investigation is limited: the document records another person mentioning Taylor in correspondence with Epstein.

It does not demonstrate that Taylor personally contacted Epstein concerning the matter, received assistance from him, or involved him in legal proceedings.

The correspondence should not be treated as proof of the ultimate disposition of the reported incident.

Documented Chronology

Social and Professional Networks

The combined records place Taylor’s name within Epstein’s travel, contact, media, and financial meeting records.

Her reporting career provides a documented connection to the world of financial news. Her flight records create travel overlaps with Epstein and other individuals. The February 2013 schedules place her name among people invited or expected to participate in a financial discussion.

These are different kinds of relationships and should be analyzed separately.

There is no evidentiary basis in the reviewed material for treating Taylor as a financial partner, media fixer, trafficking facilitator, or criminal participant.

Why Duplicate Documents Matter

A common problem in Epstein Files research is the repeated production of the same email or schedule under different Bates numbers.

For example, the September 19, 2013 Taylor appointment appears in numerous document records. These may represent forwarded email chains, revised schedules, or copies retained in different investigative collections.

Counting each occurrence as a separate meeting would exaggerate the underlying evidence.

The correct method is to organize all versions into one event group, preserve their document identifiers, and identify any meaningful differences in dates, times, recipients, or wording.

Identified EFTA Evidence Inventory

The table below consolidates the principal document references identified in the research. The records should be understood as an identified inventory, not a certification that every occurrence in the complete released corpus has been located. EFTA02420571 has been excluded because the original is a separate Valerie Post chain.

What Has Been Established

The records establish that Felicia Taylor’s name appears across multiple distinct evidence types.

The original flight-log pages record her name on three identified segments, and the redacted contact book visibly includes her name. Direct emails in May and July 2010 discuss possible visits; a September 2010 office message seeks another person’s contact information; and an August 2011 exchange refers to seeing her on television.

In February 2013, her name appeared among anticipated quantitative meeting participants. In September, Epstein’s assistant sent an invitation, and a later message reported a plan to come at 5:45 p.m. with 30 minutes available. Actual attendance remains unverified in the reviewed records.

Automated social-network activity emails mentioned her in 2014, and a third party referred to her in correspondence with Epstein in 2015.

This is a documented history of recorded travel, retained contact information, direct correspondence, and proposed or scheduled contact extending over multiple years.

What Has Not Been Established

The evidence does not establish that Taylor participated in Epstein’s trafficking crimes.

It does not establish that she recruited victims, arranged criminal activity, knowingly facilitated abuse, received improper payments, or concealed evidence.

The quantitative meeting schedules do not establish that she entered into financial arrangements with Epstein.

The September 2013 calendars do not conclusively establish that a private meeting occurred.

The 2014 LinkedIn notifications do not establish direct communication.

These distinctions are essential to an accurate profile.

Research Limitations and Remaining Verification

The October 15, 2026 follow-up inspected 55 distinct page images across the 30 previously cited EFTA PDFs and three newly identified EFTA PDFs, plus the three relevant flight-log pages and one redacted contact-book page. It checked claim-bearing pages and relevant headers, not every page of every PDF or every occurrence in the full released corpus.

The seven schedule entries previously marked comparison pending were identified as versions or related messages concerning the September 19, 2013 plan. This reconciles the references discussed here; it does not certify that all possible duplicate productions have been found.

Complete identity authentication, every expanded flight-passenger name, and a corpus-wide search for alternate names and OCR variants remain outside this bounded review. Redacted names and contact details were not reconstructed.

There is no verified basis for inferring completed meetings or improper activity from a document count alone.

Watch Our Sleuths Investigate

This bounded review did not verify a topic-specific original YouTube investigation focused on Felicia Taylor. That is a limitation of the search, not a finding that no such investigation exists.

Relevant future reporting should be credited by author and linked to the exact publication or recording, with original evidence citations checked before inclusion.

Generic videos about Epstein’s network are not substituted for a verified investigation of Taylor.

Conclusion

Felicia Taylor’s name appears in several types of Epstein-related documents spanning from historical flight records in 1996 to incidental correspondence in 2015.

The strongest evidence includes recorded air travel, a contact-book entry, direct email exchanges about possible visits and television, a request from Epstein’s office for another person’s contact details, February 2013 meeting schedules, and a September 2013 invitation followed by an explicitly reported time change.

These records establish documented connections to Epstein’s social and professional environment but do not establish knowledge of or participation in his criminal activities.

EpsteinWiki preserves the documentary record while distinguishing confirmed evidence, proposed meetings, duplicated schedules, automated notifications, and matters that remain unverified.
