Watch: Stephen Caplinger in the Epstein files
1:03Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Stephen M. Caplinger was Vice President of Design & Planning at Landmark Land Company in New Albany, Ohio. In 2009–2010 emails he corresponded directly with Jeffrey Epstein about landscape design and construction planning for a property referred to as "LSJ".
Caplinger appears almost entirely in emails. About 100 of them list him in the From, To or Cc line, and the rest are mostly forwards or messages that mention him. They run from June 2009 to January 2010 and cover site plans, landscaping, outbuildings and budgets. He also appears by name in a few non-email records: Epstein account QuickReport ledgers (December 2009, February 2010 and April 2010) and an architect agreement draft that names him with "LSJ, LLC" as the client party. Nothing in the files shows him in any role other than a design and planning professional working on a property project.
Key Highlights
- •He wrote to Epstein directly and often, usually signing as "Vice President Design & Planning, Landmark Land Company," New Albany, Ohio. Topics include a Hammam site plan concept, a boat dock entry and private drive, a Kite House, an east lawn pool deck, a north terrace, office entry photos, ATV parking near the master bedroom, a helipad concept and a garage storage complex.
- •Epstein sent him short, directive messages. Examples: "pathways and borders using large stones are important" (July 2009), a request for "clear overlays of your ideas on current photos" (August 2009), a request to be brought "up to speed on where we are" (August 2009), and a comment that he liked the steps to different levels in the Russell Page garden book (October 2009).
- •He worked with a small project team. Gary Kerney is the most frequent co-recipient, with Brice Gordon, Doug Schoettle and Hasan Khan also copied. In one email he asks who the point of contact is for Gensler so he can stay informed on the overall landscape design and site work. In another (November 2009), Kerney says he and Caplinger want to visit Epstein on Nov. 20 to go over plans and project status.
- •He weighed in on costs. In one email he corrects figures for the Main House East, saying the right number is $45,000 rather than the $198,000 shown. In December 2009 Epstein asked Kerney and Caplinger to price asphalt for the roads.
- •Financial ledgers for Epstein's accounts list Stephen Caplinger as a payee, including a small $208.41 wire dated April 1, 2010, next to other contractors and vendors. The entries are consistent with payments to a project professional, and the records say nothing more about what they were for.
- •A January 2010 email about a vegetable garden (subject "LSJ Organic Vegetable Garden") and a nursery quote for 2,000 railroad vine plants that mentions his name show his scope included planting and edible gardens as well as buildings and site layout.
