Forensic specialists are challenging the federal government’s explanation for the enigmatic orange form that was seen on surveillance film taken on the last night of Jeffrey Epstein’s life next to his prison cell.
Around 10:40 p.m. on the evening before the 66-year-old convicted sex trafficker was discovered hanging, the shadowy object, captured on video that CBS News was able to collect and examine, ascends the stairs to Epstein’s cell block at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
According to forensic experts who spoke to the network as part of an examination into the jail video, federal officials had believed the pixelated blob was a corrections officer “carrying linen or inmate clothing.”
