Original Report
Reported by: DESMARAIS, WENDY D.

Entered By: OREGGERO, LAURA D.
10/06/03
On Sunday 10/5/03 at approximately 0824 hours, I
was dispatched to a burglary at 358 El Brillo Way. Upon
arrival I met with reporting party/victim Jeffrey Epstein, white
male, dob/012053. Epstein advised he and his personal
assistant Sarah Kellen, white female, dob/052579, arrived in
the residence on Friday evening 10/3/03. Epstein advised
that on Saturday evening 10/4/03, he left his briefcase at his
desk and went to bed at approximately 1230 am. Epstein
said when he left his briefcase, it contained approximately
$3500 U.S. currency. Kellen advised she came back in $100
bills and kept in a white envelope inside the briefcase.
Epstein stated at approximately 0715 hours on Sunday
10/5/03, while sitting at his desk, he noticed the briefcase had
been opened and some of the cash was missing. Epstein
believed approximately $3500 was taken from the briefcase.
Epstein advised that he did not know if the cash was
sequential or recorded. Epstein further advised a black
Glock handgun was taken from the bookshelf located behind
his desk. Epstein advised he suspected cash had been
taken from his briefcase on two other occasions while he was
in town for the weekend. The first was over Labor Day
weekend Aug. 30-Sept 1, 2003. The second time was a
weekend in mid September, 2003. Epstein stated he did not

report these incidents because he was not sure the money
was accounted for or possible footage of the incident may
exist. I next met with Kellen who advised she went to bed at
approximately 1130 pm on 10/4/03 and did not hear or see
anything unusual through the night or on the morning of
10/5/03. Cotrin, the resident chef advised that he went to
bed at approximately 1030 pm on 10/4/03 and began work at
approximately 6:20 am on 10/5/03. Cotrin stated that he did
not see or hear anything unusual from the staff residence
located down the east side of the property. I next spoke to Mike
and Rosalie Friedman who are the house managers. Mike
stated that he went to the staff residence at approximately
1130 hours on 10/4/03 and got up at approximately 7:30 pm
same night to move the Mercedes into the garage. Mike said
he returned to the residence at approximately 6:20 am on
10/5/03 but did not notice anything unusual. Rosalie stated
that she checked the exterior of the residence at
approximately 7:15pm on 10/4/03 as part of her duties.
Rosalie stated at that time, she saw no one and everything
appeared in order. Rosalie stated she left the main house at
approximately 11:30 pm and returned at approximately 8:30
am on 10/5/03. It should be noted that Mike and Rosalie
Friedman have been employed as the house managers since
9/24/03. Prior to them, the live-in site house managers were
Patrick and Evelyn. Epstein was unsure of the last name.
Patrick Evelyn were employed at 358 El Brillo approximately
9 months. prior to the house manager See John Alessi who
was employed at 358 El Brillo approximately 10 years.
Epstein signed an affidavit of prosecution, it is attached to
this report. Crime Scene Manager Parkinson responded and
processed the scene. Det. Melnichok also responded. See
Det. Melnichok's report for further information. Officer Nault
responded and conducted a neighborhood canvas which is
also attached to this report. It should be noted that Epstein
will contact Palm Beach Police Department with the serial
number of the stolen handgun so that it may be entered into
NCIC.

On 10/05/03, at 1000 hours, I responded to 358 El Brillo Way
reference a burglary that had occurred at the residence during
the night. Upon my arrival, I met with the homeowner who
verbally identified himself as Jeffrey Epstein, DOB 01/20/53.
Epstein told me that over the last couple of months, when he
has come into town, he has money he had left in his carry on
bag, has turned up missing. Epstein said he wasn't sure of the
amount of money in the carry on bag on any specific incident
and thought that he possibly had misplaced the money. Epstein

told me that he had purchased a spy camera from a store on
Okeechobee Blvd. and had set up the camera which was in a
clock in his office facing the briefcase with the money in it.
Epstein then placed $1,000. in U.S. currency, one hundred dollar
bill increments and left the bag on his desk as he always does
when he is in town. Epstein said that he went to bed with the
camera system monitoring the bag and desk area, only to wake up
and twice to have $100. missing from the bag and the suspects
image on his computer hard drive. It should be noted that there
were thirteen one hundred dollar bills still in the white envelope
and that nothing else in the house appeared to be disturbed by the
suspect.
Epstein told me to the computer room where he showed me a computer
monitor that was displaying a still frame of the suspect. The
computer indicated a time of 0613 a.m. when the suspect came into
the office area, walked behind the desk, opened the hand bag, and
then opened the center drawer to the desk. It appeared as though
the suspect was familiar with the house and the desk. Epstein
told me that he did not know who the suspect in the photo was
but thought it might be his former houseman because of his size
and shape. Epstein also pointed out that the suspect in the
video was wearing moccasin type shoes like his former houseman
did due to his back injury. The suspect was a white male who
was 6'0" in height, 180 lbs., wearing tan pants, white shirt,
and a hat. Epstein provided me with the former houseman's
information which was Juan P. Alessi, DOB 02/12/50, living at
1519 South Flagler Dr., Apt. 1901, West Palm Beach, Florida.
I advised Epstein that I would need to obtain a copy of the
surveillance video from his computer hard drive in order to
have in hands. Epstein told me that he had limited working
knowledge of the system but he would contact the company who
had installed the system and have them make a copy by Monday.
Epstein told me he would call when he had more information.
Epstein took me to the desk where the carry on bag was and told
me that he believed that the suspect might have gained entry
into the house from the sliding glass doors on the south side
of the house but not the west side of house because he had
personally locked all the sliders on that side of the house.
It is believed that the suspect also left the house by the
same sliding door that was unlocked as there were no pry marks
or indication of forced entry into the house. Epstein also showed
me the bookcase behind the desk where he kept his Glock 9 mm
handgun between the books which was now missing. Epstein could
not supply me with the serial number for the handgun at this
time but advised he would contact Gator Gun on Okeechobee
Blvd. to obtain the information.
Crime Scene Manager Greg Parkinson processed the crime scene and
collected the envelope that the money had been taken out of.
