Watch: New Canaan in the Epstein files
1:07Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
New Canaan, Connecticut appears in the files mainly as the hometown of Lesley Groff and Ike Groff. Their home address, banking, home-renovation estimates and mail all point there. It is a residential and logistical link, and the files do not show it as a place Jeffrey Epstein himself went.
Most of the 343 documents are emails, and most of those are local-news newsletters (the New Canaanite, Patch alerts) that were sent to the Groffs' inbox. The more substantive records are financial and billing documents. They include checks and a mortgage approval letter addressed to Lesley Groff at New Canaan addresses, contractor estimates for work at the Groff home, correspondence with a local Bankwell branch, and itemized phone bills listing calls to New Canaan, CT in 2004 and 2005. One record lists a New Canaan address (159 Oenoke Ridge) next to Epstein's 9 East 71st Street address in New York. A single government record lists New Canaan, CT in a location field for a person labeled a co-conspirator, but the files give no further context for it.
Key Highlights
- •The strongest link runs through Lesley Groff: checks dated 2018 and a 2012 mortgage approval letter are addressed to Lesley Groff in New Canaan, and the files show the Groffs at 159 Oenoke Ridge and 120 Oak Street.
- •A record in the files lists 159 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan next to Jeffrey Epstein's 9 East 71st Street address in New York, which ties the town to the Epstein-related records.
- •Contractor estimates from 2013 for a mudroom and back porch, made out to Lesley Groff, carry a Morse Court, New Canaan business address. This accounts for the Morse Court connection.
- •Emails with a Bankwell personal banker in New Canaan (2015 and 2018) show routine banking by the Groffs, including one that copies Ike Groff.
- •Phone bills from 2004 and 2005 list calls to New Canaan, CT alongside many calls to New York and other places. They show contact with the area but do not show who was speaking.
- •A large share of the 343 documents are automated newsletters (the New Canaanite, 2014 to 2019) and Patch alerts. These show only that the recipient lives in or follows the town, not any link to Epstein's activities.
- •A government record lists New Canaan, CT in a location field for a co-conspirator, with no accompanying detail in the files. This is an unexplained mention, not evidence of what happened there.
