Real motive Epstein had dentist chair surrounded by face masks on Paedo Island

A former FBI agent said the masks could have been used by Epstein’s associates to hide who they were while inside the residence on the island.

The creepy masks seen in Jeffrey Epstein’s creepy dentist room may have been used to conceal identities during alleged sex crimes, it has been claimed.

The photographs – made public as part of the latest cache of Epstein files to be published – show a fully equipped dental chair placed in a sparse room. The only decoration visible is a series of 11 unsettling male faces mounted on the walls.

According to former FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, who served as the agency’s Supervisory Senior Resident Agent for the Virgin Islands, the scene warrants closer scrutiny.

And she raised fears they could have been used by Epstein’s associates to hide who they were while inside the residence on Little Saint James, often referred to as “Paedo Island.

Coffindaffer told the Daily Mail that wealthy individuals sometimes own private dental or salon chairs, so the equipment itself does not immediately signal wrongdoing. The masks, however, stood out.

She said: “It is not unusual for those involved in these kinds of sex crimes, especially those involving minors, to wear masks,” adding that if she were an agent searching the property, the masks would be “very interesting”.

She said that the items “could be innocent,” and that investigators do not currently have evidence they were used in crimes.

Even so, she said that “in the context of what went on at that island, I would be looking for a meaning behind them.” Coffindaffer said she would examine the masks for hair, markings or any signs they had been worn.

She added: “They appear to be indicative of ‘something’. What exactly that is is hard to tell from the image release, but as an investigator they would certainly pique my interest.”

Other newly released images show a chalkboard inside Epstein’s island residence filled with words like “power” and “deception.” Coffindaffer said such writings often offer insight into a suspect’s state of mind.

She added: “The words themselves are gibberish, and they show the rambling thoughts of a man writing down the things that are important to him.”

She added that these types of writings are typically sent to the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit for analysis.

The recently released evidence came from an FBI search of Epstein’s island, which Coffindaffer described as extremely difficult to investigate due to its private layout and surveillance.

Only 14 images and videos were released in this latest batch amid a renewed congressional push to make the full Epstein files public.

Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial, sparking ongoing speculation from those who believe he was murdered.

His co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only person convicted in connection with his sex trafficking operation.
