"We were just trying to look at pretty fish ... and here we are in the middle of an FBI raid," said Kelly Quinn, the owner of Salty Dog Day Sails.
FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epstein's private island in the Caribbean on Monday in a vivid display that the probe into his alleged sex trafficking ring is continuing despite his death.
A swarm of federal agents was seen fanning out across Little St. James in golf carts about 10:30 a.m.
"We were just trying to look at pretty fish and swim with turtles and here we are in the middle of an FBI raid," said Kelly Quinn, the owner of Salty Dog Day Sails, who was running a sailing charter in the area.
"This has been something on our radar for years," Quinn added. "We're all really curious why it's happening now."
Two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation confirmed that the FBI launched a search of Epstein's private island home off the coast of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The search was directed by the Epstein task force led by the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, the officials said.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment.
A law enforcement source said the search of Epstein's home and private island in the U.S. Virgin islands was suggested years ago, but evidently went nowhere.
The raid was launched two days after Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. He was pronounced dead at a lower Manhattan hospital. Multiple law enforcement officials said Epstein..

p
Hannity reported that some divers were searching the coast under-water
Kinda late... by a couple of years, imho.
Wonder if they are trying to uncover evidence of cover up evidence
With the horse already gone they figure it’s safe to check out the barn and close the door.
Had to wait long enough to make sure the fires were extinguished.
Coverup
Wonder if they are trying to uncover evidence of cover up evidence
I for one trust their motives...…….what are their motives again?
Hopefully anything important was already taken off by good people. The FBI cannot be trusted and must be disbanded.
Got to be a lib run operation, right on the ball they are.
Operation Sanitize to protect the Democrat Elites.
FBI all need to be locked up. They have negative credibility as a LEO body.
“You guys take your tacti-cool golf carts and secure the Island, be seen. Senior staff will try to get into this safe with a thermite grenade.”
“Roger that!”
what took so long
What took them so long? He was arrested a month ago.
I just heard minutes ago that AJ Bob Barr “was angry”. This event must be interrupting Bob’s squeeze box performance time. Big mistake...ewwwww!!!
This reminds me of us looking for Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
The ANA was a part of the Kabuki, too; they’d show up to different buildings, scream into a loudspeaker, then pepper the building with gunfire, run in with flashbangs, etc.
And it happened again and again and again and again.
And that whole time they knew EVERY one of those tips was total BS, but they couldn’t count on the AMerican Gravy Train delivering the loot UNLESS they went on that charade.
And now OUR OWN PEOPLE are doing it to us, stateside.
They do not WANT to get to the bottom of it.
And they are NOT going to get Ghislaine and they do not WANT to get her.
The child molesting evil is on BOTH SIDES, PEOPLE.
Making sure the place is sanitized.
Barr, the Barney Fife of AG’s..... You just watch. This is much bigger than Bob.
Weeks after a large fire was reported on the island.
What a complete pantload.
The only logical reason to do this now, after all this time, is to make sure that all the evidence was properly removed prior to this.
It really irritates me that the media makes out like a person who uses the common sense and reasoning powers of a 12 year old is a conspiracy nut.
Anyone with a lick of sense would ask why it took so long to do this and why they are doing it in what looks like a panic driven frenzy immediately after his “demise”.
