Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: "A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs โ€” could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier."

The FBI log describes the fuzzy image as "possibly an inmate."

The inspector general logs it as an officer carrying orange "linen or bedding," noting it in their final report as "an unidentified [corrections officer]."

Obviously they aren't going to report that someone was there, because then it would be totally obvious they killed him. Which was already totally obvious enough.
