Detective Joseph Recarey was the lead Palm Beach Police detective who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in 2005-2006, interviewing dozens of alleged underage victims and building the criminal case that identified at least 21 possible victims.
Recarey appears extensively in court depositions, police incident reports he filed, and government oversight documents detailing his investigation. He testified under oath about receiving Epstein's flight logs from Alan Dershowitz, documented witness statements, and described the recruitment scheme as a 'sexual pyramid scheme.' Several mentions appear in emails from Epstein himself expressing discontent with Recarey's investigation and referencing meetings with prosecutors where Recarey was present.
