Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before body found — and made mysterious deposit before pedophile’s suicide: DOJ

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards googled the sex predator minutes before he was found dead — and also made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before the predator’s jail-cell suicide, new Department of Justice documents reveal.

Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his Aug. 10, 2019, suicide.

The guards were fired but criminal charges against both were later dropped.

Noel googled “latest on Epstein in jail” at 5:42 a.m. and then again at 5:52 a.m. — less than 40 minutes before her colleague, correctional officer Michael Thomas, found the disgraced financier dead in his cell by hanging at 6:30 a.m., according to an FBI record of Noel’s internet search history that night.

Earlier that shift, Noel, 37, shopped for furniture online and snoozed on the job instead of making the mandated checks on Epstein every 30 minutes, while Thomas perused motorcycles, prosecutors said.

The FBI highlighted the eerie internet search in its 66-page forensic examination of the Bureau of Prisons desktop computers of Noel and Thomas. It was the only search highlighted.

When questioned during her sworn statement to the DOJ in 2021, Noel denied googling Epstein.

“I don’t remember doing that,” she claimed, according to a transcript. She said FBI records were not “accurate. I don’t recall looking him up.”

Noel, who has since been sued in Westchester County Supreme Court for alleged assault at her new job as a medical office assistant at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care, also claimed to investigators that everyone at the Manhattan federal lockup failed to do rounds and falsified records about it.

Maybe but I also don’t doubt these employees are lazy and incompetent.

This guard needs to Google Seth Rich.

She needs to understand she is going to disappear.

The only question, will be it voluntary or involuntary.

Nice to see one of the guards in the public eye.

But it always brings me back to whatever happened to Ray Epps?

I’m sure the FBI will get right on this..../sar
This was so obviously a murder for hire that it is shocking it was so easily covered up.

How hard is it to get up and get some steps by walking down the hall every half hour? Seems like it’s more effort to falsify records — unless you’re not bothered by always affixing your name to such lies.

If none of these people are doing their jobs, they should all owe the government a refund for their pay.

short attention span? It has been going around.

Do you think you buy a coke after one advertisement? It takes time and multiple investigation to get to justice. There was some new information here.

Short attention span is easily manipulated................
