I do many threads on Epstein's co-conspirators, enablers, people that worked for him that still to this day refuse to speak up. But there are warriors of good in this long fight as well. I want to spotlight one of them.
Detective Joeseph Recarey.
Detective Joeseph Recarey.
Recarey, born in Queens New York, moved to Florida at the age of 13. He graduated the police academy in 1990, joining the Palm Beach Police Department in 1991 as an officer and was promoted to police detective in 1994.
During his time on the force, Recarey worked on the Organized Crime Vice and Narcotics Unit, the Dept. of Justice and PB County Sheriff's Office Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, and the PB County State Attorney's Public Integrity Unit.
He has received 150 commendations from the law enforcement community, including the Inaugural “Officer of the Year” Award by the Palm Beach Police Foundation in 2012.
He was also of course, the lead detective in the case against Jeffrey Epstein.
He did a lot of the early legwork in the initial criminal investigation, interviewing countless victims, and leading the raid on his Palm Beach house.

So much of the bread crumbs of evidence are thanks to his trash pulls he did which gave us bank statements, invaluable message pads from his residence, names/numbers connected to Epstein, and countless depositions/interviews.
Timeline of the case as it stood back in 2005 with some snippets from Recarey and his increasingly desperate pleas for information on what the hell was going on.
There's a lot of blame to go around for Epstein escaping justice for so long, from Krischer to Acosta especially, or dirty Dersh compiling oppo research on the victims, but Detective Recarey did everything in his power to hold them accountable.

We all owe him our gratitude.
