An internal DOJ email chain showing prosecutors reacting to an unsolicited email from Kelley Lynch, a member of the public asking about the Epstein death investigation after Dr. Baden's October 30, 2019 findings were announced.
This document contains a forwarded email chain from October 31, 2019, the day after forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden publicly stated that Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy findings were more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide. A member of the public named Kelley Lynch emailed federal prosecutors asking why the NYC medical examiner refused to reconsider the case and hand over DNA evidence. The prosecutors' response characterizes the email as a 'lunatic email' with a notable signature block (which included a lawyer joke). This is a low-value document showing unsolicited public correspondence rather than substantive case materials.

Jeffrey Epstein, 19 Cr. 490 (RMB) Correction: For the record, I think Epstein's a criminal but he's DEAD so there's nothing LEFT to be said about his alleged crimes.

I, of course, heard Dr. Baden's conclusions today. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Baden. Will your office address why the medical examiner is refusing to take a second look at this case and refuses to hand over DNA that is clearly material and critical? With the death of Epstein, the case itself no longer interests me and I have problems with the women involved - being a mother. However, I am interested in the horrendous conditions at MCC, a probable murder of a man your office refused to grant bail, and how you intend to handle the murder investigation. For the record, I think Epstein's a criminal but he's death so there's nothing let to be said about his alleged crimes. Thank you. Kelley Lynch EFTA00019687
