Summary

This document is a crucial email chain dated May 7, 2020, between the FBI and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY). It reveals that authorities had tracked Ghislaine Maxwell to a secluded property in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, months before her July 2020 arrest. The emails confirm SDNY was close to a charging decision for sex trafficking and details the investigative methods used to locate her, including historical pen registers, cell site location data, and subpoenas to Amazon for delivery addresses, as traditional surveillance was deemed difficult due to the location's seclusion.

Thank you for the call and the update on the Epstein investigation with regard to charging Ghislaine Maxwell.
As I mentioned, [REDACTED] (copied) has been chosen as the permanent ASAC for the NYO's Violent Crime/Gang Branch of the Criminal Division. [REDACTED] will be coordinating with you, [REDACTED], and the rest of the team as we move forward.
To rehash some of the points regarding Maxwell to get [REDACTED] up to speed with the latest:
SDNY is close to a final decision on charging Maxwell regarding her complicity in Epstein's sex trafficking
FBI believes (as of January) that Maxwell is still living with a friend in the Boston suburb of Manchester by the Sea
Confirmed by historical pen register with cell site location and subpoenas to Amazon for delivery location
Since traditional surveillance, including a pole camera, are not suitable due to the secluded location, and in order to get more recent information, you propose getting a renewed pen register and Amazon subpoena. Additionally, you and the team may seek to get a mail cover.
[REDACTED], It was a pleasure working with you, [REDACTED], and the team for the last several months.
Good luck moving forward with the case.
Best regards,
[REDACTED]
