Episode Description from the Publisher

Did Jeffrey Epstein really die in 2019... or are there still unanswered questions worth investigating? In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, Dani sits down with Ryan Dalton—an attorney, former U.S. Department of State Special Agent, and co-founder of Closed Horizon—to discuss one of the most controversial mysteries of the last decade. During his government career, Ryan specialized in counter-trafficking and intelligence operations, investigating international sex and labor trafficking, dark web fraud, and cryptocurrency crimes. He deployed to crisis zones across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East to protect three U.S. Secretaries of State, briefed Congress on victim protection, helped shape anti-trafficking legislation, and received the State Department's Superior Honor Award three times. Now, Ryan is the co-founder of Closed Horizon, an information marketplace designed to help people safely and legally exchange valuable information. Using that platform, he is trying to answer the question, did Jeffrey Epstein really die in 2019? Ryan walks us through some of the most compelling evidence that suggests he walked out of the cell, and where he might be today.
