The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein documents includes an FBI report about a caller’s claim of a suspicious death in Kiefer, Oklahoma, in January 2000.

The caller said a woman was found with her head “blown off” in the small town in northeast Oklahoma days after reporting to police she had been raped by Epstein and Donald Trump. The caller described the death as a murder.

The FBI report was in the nearly 30,000 new documents released by the U.S. Justice Department on Dec. 23.

    I don’t think people get their heads blown off without some sort of investigation.

      You would be amazed how many murders go almost completely uninvestigated in America.

      Do some research on some of our more famous serial killers in American history,and police investigation surrounding them. What you’ll find will disgust you. And that’s just ones that we know about after the fact.

      Especially so if the police force is tipped off that it might involve someone with lots of money.

        If it looks like a suicide and the victom is either poor or a minority, coroners aren’t going to expend much effort. And that’s just the laziness part. If the powerful are also involved, it’s even worse.

        As a background watcher of more true crime than I’d like to have watched, you’re completely right. In addition, the investigations the police do are often unbelievably terrible and have at times led to decades of the wrong people in jail or under suspicion because they’re racist, xenophobic, or just plain lazy and bad at their jobs.

        I watched one that I found particularly sickening where they spent lots of time investigating the dad of the victim and coersing a confession out of him when the paroled, actual perpetrator left a shoe with his name on it at the scene of the crime, and the victim’s young brother said that his dad didn’t do it and saw someone else take his sister.
