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.
