Donald Trump, the eyes of an alleged killer? (Photo: Fulton County)
Donald Trump has been implicated in at least two alleged killings involving Epstien sex victims and a disturbing pattern is emerging from the release of files related to the sex trafficking ring.
Death threats were widely made to keep sex assault victims quiet, and were so effective they allowed Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to continue abusing underage girls for almost two decades.
The New York Independent, with the assistance of artifical intelligence (AI), scanned released Epstein files and other public documents. They show that Epstein and his associates used extensive threats of physical harm, death, and professional ruin to silence victims.

The findings are based on court filings and survivor testimonies. The threats were pervasive, but so far, no evidence has surfaced that the FBI or any other law enforcement ageny followed up with investigations.
Here is as summary of the findings based on the NYI scan:
— Physical and Lethal Threats: Victims were told they would be assaulted or murdered if they spoke out. In one instance, a victim was ordered to keep a locked box of Epstein’s property and told she would be killed if she ever opened it.
— Family and Dependent Intimidation: Epstein threatened to have victims’ children taken away or to harm their families. He and his associates also claimed they could have victims arrested for prostitution or deported.
— Smear Tactics and Career Destruction: Epstein used his wealth to release damaging stories about those who resisted his threats, aiming to destroy their credibility. MAGA influencers have done the same on social media.
— Legal and Law Enforcement Intimidation: Epstein claimed to have influence over the FBI, ICE, and local police to convince victims they had no protection.
— Ongoing 2025 Threats: As of late 2025, survivors continue to report credible death threats and intimidation as new government files regarding Epstein’s network are released.
While the Justice Department has gone out of its way to assert that files contain unsubstantiated “smears,” circumstantial evidence supports claims of Trump’s involvement in two alleged murders.
In one disturbing instance, the FBI received a tip in 2020 that an alleged Trump rape victim had her “head blown off” in Kiefer, Oklahoma, two weeks after reporting Trump to the police.

The Oklahoman newspaper later identified the 19-year-old victim as Dusti Rhea Duke and confirmed she died Jan 10, 2000, in Kiefer, from a gunshot wound to the head.
According to the complaint written by an FBI agent, a private limo driver had overheard Trump talking about abusing girls while driving him one day in 1995 in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The informant later identified himself on social media as Dan Ferree, who said the murdered girl was the daughter of his ex-wife Cheryl Gress.
Ferree revealed a back story that also tied the murder victim to Trump.
Around Christmas of 1994, Cheryl took the kids sightseeing in New York, where one of her daughter’s father lived. When they got to Trump Tower, they stood outside until a lady — Ghislaine Maxwell — pulled up in a chauffeur-driven car and walked up to them, inviting them inside with her.
Ghislaine took Dusti and her middle sister into the building while Cheryl stayed with the youngest of the siblings. Inside, she separated Dusti from her sister and brought her to a room where Epstein waited on a massage table.
Dusti was forced to perform a sexual favor for Jeffrey Epstein. When she was done, Donald Trump walked in and raped the 14-year-old girl.
At his ex’s house on Christmas Eve 1999, Ferree said his step-daughter confided in him that Trump had raped her five years earlier.
She claimed that a lady “with a funny name” (possibly meaning Ghislaine Maxwell) “took me into a fancy hotel or building, and that’s how it happened.”
She reported Trump to the police the next day.
Two weeks later, on January 10, 2000, his ex called him and said her daughter was found dead in Kiefer, Oklahoma, from a gunshot wound to the “back of her head.”

The state’s chief medical examiner Dr. Eric Pfeifer ruled, however, that Duke’s death was a “suicide.”
Pfeifer’s credibility is suspect.
The National Association of Medical Examiners had revoked the accredition of Pfeifer‘s office in 2019 because it found 29 deficiencies related to staffing shortages and inadequate facilities. Among the deficiencies were shodding reporting and insufficient examinations.
The cororner’s report is further clouded because police officers who initially arrived on the scene said Duke had been murdered.
To date, no conclusive evidence exists confirming or denying the circumstances surrounding the fatal wound and no documents have surfaced detailing whether the FBI investigated the incident.
Ferree alleges Trump has kept Duke’s mother, who suffered at the time from a meth addiction, quiet through hush money payments. Maxwell allegedly made at least one of the hush money payments on behalf of Epstein.
This month, a woman identifying as Duke’s mother posted on social media that claims her daughter was murdered are untrue.
But that fact that the girl’s mother initially said Duke had been shot in the “back of her head” drew a chilling connection to Ghislaine Maxwell.

Her statement dovetails with a Maxwell threat to a victim detailed in a separate incident in a separate report.
In 1996, Maria Farmer reported Trump and Epstein to the FBI for involving her and her underage sisters in child pornography and threatening them to keep quiet.
She said Maxwell warned her she could be “shot in the back of the head” while jogging, adding “that’s how Mossad shoots you.”
In one specific call, Maxwell allegedly told her, “I know you go to the West Side Highway [park] all the time. While you’re out there, just be really careful because there are a lot of ways to die there.”

Farmer alleged that after she was assaulted at the estate of Victoria’s Secret owner Les Wexner, Epstein and Maxwell threatened to “burn her house down” if she disclosed the abuse.
Farmer’s complaint was ignored by the FBI, which refused to even acknowledge its existence for 20 years, until the document surfaced in the most recent Epstein file release.
An even more disturbing allegation surfaced in a 2020 tip to the FBI from a woman who said she was sex trafficked by her uncle and Epstein in 1984 when she was 13 years old and pregnant.
Epstein and her uncle arranged a scheme where men, and girls would come to a variety of boats and yachts and pay money to force me to [redacted] with them.”
The victim wrote that Trump “participated regularly in paying money to force me to [redacted] with him, and he was present when my uncle murdered my newborn child and disposed of the body in Lake Michigan.”

She said the murder and disposal of the body occurred from a yacht originating from Mona Lake, which is connected to Lake Michigan by a channel.
Trump was allegedly aboard at the time and witnessed the murder, she claimed.
No evidence has yet surfaced that the FBI or other law enforcement agencies attempted to verify or fully investigate the claims, even though she stated she was interviewed for 20- or 30-minutes by an NYPD detective assigned to the FBI’s Sex Trafficking Task Force.
But Internet sleuths have since pieced together circumstantial evidence of Trump’s possible involvement.

In 1993, Trump began lobbying officials in mostly black Gary, Indiana, to support his bid for a showboat casino on Lake Michigan, then littered with shuttered factories, according to Business Insider.
Trump won the bid, and from 1996 to 2021, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts owned an operated a floating casino known as “The Trump Princess,” a 340-foot boat with more than 1,500 slot machines.
It was anchored next to a 300-room Trump hotel on the lake at Buffington Harbor in Gary, Indiana, about 150 miles from Mona Lake.
Both the hotel and casino lend substance to claims Trump frequented the Lake Michigan area around the time of the alleged incident. Dates conflict but that should have been resolved through an investigation.

The use of threats to silence victims was so frequent, it’s entirely possible to conclude that at some point they may have been carried out.
Trump victim Katie Johnson (a pseudonym) alleged Trump threatened to kill her and her family if she ever revealed details about her alleged 1994 rape and abuse. In 2016, she detailed what happened in a YouTube video that has been posted for 10 years without legal challenge. (See the video)
He said he was also “capable of having her whole family killed,” Johnson recounted.
In aother chilling threat, Trump said he could make her “disappear like the 12-year-old female Maria,” if she reported him. The reference is to another alleged victim, who has never come forward.
Johnson dropped her 2016 lawsuit against Trump and disappeared after receiving more credible death threats against her and her family, her lawyer said at the time.
In a 2020 report to the FBI, also just released, a woman claimed Trump and Epstein had raped her. She stated, “I can’t [call the police], they will kill me.”
Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein to Prince Andrew and others said she was the victim of a prolonged campaign of death threats and intimidation throughout her years as an advocate for Epstein survivors.

In Great Britain, another disturbing incident unfolded allegedly involving Prince Andrew, the disgraced royal who has been stripped of his titles and banned from the royal family because of his Epstein ties.
In 2020, a woman reported to the FBI that she was sex trafficked when she was six- to eight-years-old by her father, who would drug her and take her to pedophile ring “parties.”
Her statement is detailed including the location and participants. In the driveway of a house, near a riding stable, she said she was hit by a car driven by Prince Andrew.
The car’s hood figurine broke off in my hand on impact and I later buried it near my home, so it could still be recoverable near my home,” she stated.
Despite injuries to her right ribs, hip and leg, the prince allegedly still had sex with her when she woke up.

She once ran away from the house “naked” until she encountered one of the local villagers, she stated.
On a another occasion, she was taken to a house she later identified as Frogmore Cottage, a 10-bedroom royal mansion about half a mile south of Windsor Castle.
“There, I was restrained on a table and tortured with electrical shocks by Ghislaine Maxwell and surrounded by watching men,” the FBI report states. “I remember seeing Prince Andrew’s face.”
Afterward, she said she tried to sneak out. “Maxwell caught me and beat me with the bristle end of a broom.”
“She also threatened me, saying, ‘I deserved to die,’ and hit me in the face with the broom, breaking my nose. I was only taken to the hospital for the broken nose after a rugby match, so that the injury could be blamed on that.”
Andrew was never a Frogmore resident, but the house was vacant from the late 1990s through the early 2000s undergoing rennovations. Before that, it was divided into apartments and was occupied off and on by household staff, making it possible she could have been taken there.
The degree of difficulty investigating complaints was significant because of the threats, illustrated by secret grand jury testimony leading up to Maxwell’s indictment in 2022.
A 14-year-old girl who reported Epstein to police in 2005 was warned by someone connected to him that “those who hurt him will be dealt with.”
Until she was interviewed by the FBI around the fall of 2021, one victim said she had never told anyone about what happened out of embarassment… and fear.
