The Jeffrey Epstein Files 4: Dr. Michael Baden Interview

Jeffrey Epstein’s death is one the mysteries of our time.
Since his death in a New York City Prison cell there have been countless conspiracy theories, speculation, and conjecture.
However, only two medical examiners looked at Jeffrey Epstein’s body to discover the cause of his death.
In this episode, on CrimeWaves, we speak to one of those people.
Dr. Michael Baden is a legend in American law enforcement.
He has decades of experience, specifically, on prison deaths, and has been involved in a host of high-profile legal cases including working for the family of George Floyd.
After examining Jeffrey Epstein’s body, Dr. Baden says that the wounds indicate that Epstein was most likely killed by a person or persons unknown.
It was murder.
