Watch: Lynn Fontanilla in the Epstein files
1:05Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Lynn (also spelled Lyn) Fontanilla appears in the files as a member of Jeffrey Epstein's New York household staff. A 2022 court filing in the Ghislaine Maxwell case describes her as a live-in housekeeper. She appears in hundreds of emails, mostly as a recipient or cc on scheduling and household-logistics messages.
A Maxwell case filing (Document 657, filed 04/29/22) says Lynn Fontanilla was a live-in housekeeper for Epstein in New York who 'could have testified about the Defendant's and Epstein's habits.' Her name also appears on two June 1995 flight manifests (June 18 and June 21), and in a deposition transcript where a witness is asked when they talked to 'Lyn Fontanilla.' Most of her appearances are emails from 2013 to 2016. In those she is on the To or Cc line of daily schedules, visitor confirmations, dinner and delivery arrangements, and house-maintenance notices sent by Epstein's assistants, chiefly Lesley Groff and Bella Klein. Staff contact lists also name her among the 'NY House Staff' and 'JE 71st Staff.' The documents show a working role in running the household. They do not show her taking part in any wrongdoing.
Key Highlights
- •A 2022 court filing in the Maxwell case describes her as a live-in housekeeper for Epstein in New York and says she could have testified about Maxwell's and Epstein's habits.
- •Her name appears on two flight manifests dated June 18 and June 21, 1995.
- •She is on the header (To or Cc) of about 364 emails. Many are daily schedules sent to Epstein with her, Jojo Fontanilla and Merwin Dela Cruz copied, so household staff knew his movements and visitors.
- •Emails ask her to handle practical tasks: preparing for dinners and meetings at the house, receiving deliveries, and ordering travel tickets on a card for a trip to the Philippines (June 2014).
- •Staff contact lists name her among the New York house staff and the '71st' staff, alongside Jojo Fontanilla, Lesley Groff, Darren Indyke and Richard Barnett.
- •She is most often paired in the files with Jojo Fontanilla and Merwin Dela Cruz, who were also on the staff distribution lists.
