Federal agents served warrants at three of Jeffrey Epstein's six major properties during the weeks that followed his July 2019 arrest—his Manhattan townhouse (6–7 July), Little St James in the U.S. Virgin Islands (12 Aug), and his Paris apartment on Avenue Foch (24 Sept).
Contemporary coverage shows no 2019 searches at the Palm Beach mansion, Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, or the neighboring Great St James island. 12345678
Property portfolio and 2019 enforcement activity
Conclusion
Rapid U.S. warrant cycle: The Manhattan search began within hours of the arrest at Teterboro, yielding photographs, hard drives, cash, and a fraudulent passport.12
Island follow-up after Epstein's death: The Little St James raid—two days after he was found dead—showed the federal probe would continue despite his suicide.45
International cooperation: French authorities acted independently but in coordination with U.S. prosecutors, targeting the Avenue Foch flats linked to flights mentioned in the indictment.6
Gaps in 2019 coverage: New Mexico officials, frustrated by jurisdictional limits, noted the ranch was untouched during 2019; similar silence surrounds Great St James and the already-searched Palm Beach house.78
