Almost six years after the suspicious “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein, notorious billionaire financier and pedophile, his most famous accuser has also died. Virginia Giuffre, who claimed, as a minor, she was forced into sexual acts with both Epstein and Prince Andrew, Duke of York, reportedly died by “suicide” last Thursday.
At the age of sixteen, Giuffre said she was recruited to work for Epstein by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in December of 2021 on five counts of assisting Epstein in his sexual abuse of underage girls. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
The shocking news of Giuffre’s death comes just weeks after she posted bruised pictures of herself online, claiming that she was hit by a school bus speeding “110 km” and had only “four days to live” after “kidney renal failure.”
Evidently, Giuffre, who lived on a farm in Western Australia, survived the automobile accident, only to die by “suicide” days later.
Her family released a statement praising Giuffre for being “a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.” According to her family, Virginia “lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”
Even though her family and local authorities in Australia claim that Giuffre died of “suicide,” several prominent Republican lawmakers do not believe it. U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-NV) posted online that “Virginia Roberts Giuffre didn’t commit suicide. No chance.” Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expressed her skepticism about the “suicide” story by commenting online “The truth needs to come out (no) matter who is responsible.”

Is it the “truth” that Giuffre committed “suicide?” Not if her 2019 Twitter post is to be believed. She wrote “I am making it…known that in no way, shape or form am I (suicidal). I have made this known to my therapist and GP-If something happens to me-(for) the sake of my family (do) not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me (quieted).”
Giuffre’s haunting promise makes her “suicide” look very suspicious. Not only did she vow to never commit suicide, but she also fought back against her abusers for years and had the courage to go public with her accusations.
She also had the bravery to file a lawsuit against both Epstein and Prince Andrew. In 2022, due to both his scandalous association with Epstein and Giuffre’s bombshell accusations, Prince Andrew lost his military and royal titles. Eventually, he settled the lawsuit with Giuffre, reportedly for the sum of $12 million.
We are to believe that Giuffre survived all this abuse, along with the lawsuits and shame, and then a horrific automobile accident, only to subsequently commit “suicide.”
Joining those asking questions about Giuffre’s suspicious death was former Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz. He reposted Giuffre’s 2019 Twitter pledge and expressed his doubts about her “suicide.”
Considering Giuffre’s sudden death and the need for many sexual abuse victims to receive justice, it is imperative that the Department of Justice finally release the Epstein files and client lists that they have been withheld from the public for years.
On February 27, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi released “phase 1” of the Epstein files. The release included the distribution of “binders” to conservative social media influencers at the White House. Unfortunately, this disclosure was underwhelming as much of the material, such as pilot logs and Epstein’s “black book,” had been previously released.
Subsequently, Bondi claimed that the FBI field office in New York withheld “thousands of pages of documents.” In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi demanded full disclosure. She wrote, “By 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 28; the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records; documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained. There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access. The Department of Justice will ensure that any public disclosure of these files will be done in a manner to protect the privacy of victims and in accordance with law, as I have done my entire career as a prosecutor.”
Despite the delivery of the additional information the next morning, several weeks later, ABC News reported the Department of Justice was still engaged in “an urgent and chaotic effort to review sensitive materials from the FBI investigation” into Epstein and that Bondi was “pushing” for more files to be disclosed.
Sources told ABC News that “As many as a thousand FBI agents, many of whom are usually focusing on national security matters, have been enlisted to help with the effort.” The agents were “told to expect to work on this into the early morning hours” in an “all-hands-on-deck effort” on this project.
The DOJ spokesperson promised “unprecedented transparency for the American people,” while the FBI spokesperson vowed “full transparency and justice.” Unfortunately, almost two months after the underwhelming initial release of information, no additional files have been distributed to the public.
Purportedly, some of the evidence being examined is sensitive, such as videos, CD’s, and logbooks. Obviously, the victims need to be protected, but they also deserve justice.
In a recent interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Bondi promised “We will get out as much as we can, as fast as we can to the American people.”
This promise to the American people is one that must be fulfilled not only in the name of transparency and disclosure, but also to honor the memory of Virginia Giuffre, a woman who was repeatedly abused by a monster.
Sadly, this monster was affiliated with powerful interests, who have continually worked from the sidelines to prevent the truth from being revealed.
