REVEALED: A Purported Epstein Letter to Larry Nassar, Handwriting Review, and a Vanishing Record
By Brian Allen
A previously unseen document attributed to Jeffrey Epstein has surfaced in newly released Epstein-related files, raising serious questions about what federal prosecutors reviewed, what they set aside, and what ultimately disappeared from public view.
The document is described as a purported handwritten letter from Epstein to Larry Nassar, allegedly sent days after Epstein’s death in August 2019. According to the file record, the letter was submitted for handwriting analysis but never formally authenticated and was later removed from publicly accessible disclosures.
If genuine, the implications are staggering. If fabricated, the handling of the document is equally troubling.
What the Document Appears to Show
The letter bears Epstein’s name, references incarceration at Manhattan Correctional Center, and contains language consistent with themes found in Epstein’s known correspondence. The document includes prison mail markings and was logged as part of materials reviewed by federal authorities during the post-2019 Epstein case review.
Critically, the file metadata indicates the letter was flagged for handwriting comparison but no final determination appears in the released record.
There is also no indication that the document was presented to a grand jury, cited in charging memoranda, or explained in any public filing.
Then it disappears.
What the DOJ Has Not Explained
The U.S. Department of Justice has not disclosed:
Whether the handwriting analysis was completed
Who requested the analysis
What conclusion, if any, was reached
Why the document was later excluded from public-facing releases
Whether prosecutors deemed it irrelevant, unreliable, or sensitive
The letter is indexed in materials associated with the Southern District of New York, the same office that handled Epstein’s prosecution and the later case against Ghislaine Maxwell.
No public explanation has been provided for its removal.
Why This Matters
This is not a tabloid curiosity. It is a chain-of-custody issue.
Either:
The letter was real, reviewed, and suppressed without explanation
The letter was false, reviewed, and quietly discarded without disclosure
Or the review process itself broke down in a case where transparency was legally and morally essential
Any of those scenarios represents a failure.
The Epstein case is no longer just about crimes committed. It is about how evidence was handled after the crimes were exposed.
The Larger Pattern
This revelation lands amid growing evidence that Epstein-related disclosures have been selectively released, heavily redacted, or quietly withheld. Courts, Congress, and the public have been told repeatedly that the full record has been reviewed.
Documents like this raise a simpler question: reviewed by whom, and under what standard.
What Comes Next
At minimum, this document demands:
A formal DOJ explanation
Release of any handwriting analysis results
Disclosure of who ordered and who terminated the review
Clarification of why the document was removed from public access
Until then, this letter sits in an uncomfortable space between evidence and omission.
And that space is where accountability goes to die.
