DECLARATION
state that the following is true and correct to the best of my
information and belief:
1.
I am currently employed as a detective with the Town of Palm Beach Police
Department ("PBPD") and have been so employed for the past 16 years.
2.
Beginning in September, 2005, I was the lead investigator in PBPD's
investigation ofJeffrey Epstein's solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution and his lewd
and lascivious conduct with minors.
3.
Prior to my involvement in that investigation, as part of my employment with
PBPD, I was asked to go to Jeffrey Epstein's home in October of 2003, to assist in an
investigation of a possible theft. While present in Mr. Epstein's home, I was asked to assist
in the installation of some temporary surveillance cameras. I also observed the pre-existing
security system, which included the automatic downloading of the images from the pre-
existing security cameras onto a personal computer. This personal computer was located in
an area that appeared to be
office. I know from my investigation that Sarah

Sivu 244 / 267
works as a personal assistant to Mr. Epstein. After completing the theft investigation,
the temporary surveillance cameras were removed, but I believe that the pre-existing security
cameras remained.
4.
While present in the house, I also observed two other computers — one in an
area I refer to as "Jeffrey Epstein's office," and the other in the pool cabana.
5.
In October 2005, as part of my investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, I approached
the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office ("SAO") about obtaining a search warrant.
I know that, prior to that date, Mr. Epstein was aware of an ongoing criminal investigation
conducted by the Palm Beach Police Department.
6.
On October 18, 2005, with the help of the SAO, I prepared a Search Warrant
Application and Affidavit and presented them to Judge Laura Johnson for her signature. The
judge granted the warrant and it was executed on October 20, 2005. Attached hereto as
Exhibit R-1 is a true and correct copy of the warrant application and the warrant signed by
Judge Johnson. Among the items that I was authorized to search for and seize was:
(1)
Computers, including any electronic magnetic, optical, electrochemical,
or other high speed data processing device performing logical,
arithmetic, or storage functions; data storage facilities such as magnetic
tape, hard disk, floppy disk or drum, or cd rom; communications
facilities directly relating to or operating in conjunction with such
device; devices for printing records of data; and such records or data

produced in various forms; manuals, documents, or instructional material relating to such devices. (2) Computer, personal computers, computer peripherals, modems, computer printers, floppy disk drives, hard disk drives, diskettes, tapes, computer printouts, software, computer programs and applications, computer manuals, system documentation. 7. When the search warrant was executed, several items were conspicuously absent. For example, there were several hanging file folders that had their contents removed, and the pre-existing security cameras that I had observed during my last visit to Mr. Epstein's residence were in place but were not connected to recording equipment. In addition, at each location where a computer had been present, computer monitors, printers, and other peripheral devices were present but the computers (CPU-Central processing unit) themselves were removed. 8. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-2 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the area that I believe was Jeffrey Epstein's office. 9. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-3 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the area that I believe was office. Also located in that office were cables connected to surveillance recording equipment located throughout the home. The cables were not connected to any computer, but were near Page 3 of 4 EFTA00179211
Sivu 246 / 267
the area from which the CPU was removed, leading me to believe that they had been
connected to the removed CPU.
10.
Attached hereto as Exhibit R-4 is a photograph taken at the time of the
execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the pool cabana.
11.
One older CPU was discovered during the search, which contained video
segments showing the presence of various persons in the house, including possibly one or
more victims from the security cameras. There also was a video segment showing Jeffrey
Epstein working at his desk in his office.
12.
In the Spring of 2006, I approached the Federal Bureau of Investigation
("FBI") about assisting in the investigation of possible federal charges against Mr. Epstein.
The FBI began an independent investigation. I have been called upon to provide background
information, but I have not been actively involved in the FBI's investigation. I am not aware
of the present location of the computers removed from Mr. Epstein's home.
I declare under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, that the foregoing
is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
