The FBI on Friday is closing its investigation into the homicide of Gabby Petito and the subsequent suicide of her fiancé   Brian Laundrie , who had been previously named a person of interest in her murder.  Petito’s family was in Florida on Thursday morning, roughly four months after their daughter was found strangled to death in Wyoming. An attorney representing Laundrie’s family said they had reached an agreement about how the couple’s property – including a notebook found with his remains – will be distributed. “Gabby’s family would like to thank the FBI, specifically the Wyoming, Denver, New York and Tampa offices, all of their task force members and their assisting agencies,” Petito/Schmidt family lawyer Rick Stafford said in a Friday statement. “Gabby’s family would like to thank the FBI’s Victim Services Department for all they have done for them. Victim Services has been there for support from the earliest stages of this investigation and helped their entire family na...

Prince Andrew   and Ghislaine Maxwell had an ‘easy warmth’ around each other and may have dated in the past, a friend of the pair has claimed. Euan Rellie, who is a New York-based, British investment banker, attended the University of Oxford with Maxwell, 60, and was a guest at dinner parties that she and her disgraced ex-boyfriend Jeffery Epstein hosted in the US. He recalled being invited to Epstein’s New York home one evening and the disgraced socialite admitted that it was ‘for my friend Prince Andrew’.  And a former Palace police guard made similar claims.  Paul Page said he and colleagues wondered if the Andrew and Maxwell were ‘intimate’ due to the frequency of her visits to the Palace.  ‘She described Andrew as being her friend, not Jeffrey’s.’ ‘I got the sense that Prince Andrew and Ghislaine had probably been girlfriend and boyfriend in the past. They had an easy warmth around each other’, reports The Telegraph.     The delayed sentencing was base...

Jeffrey Epstein paid more than a dozen visits to the   Bill Clinton   White House throughout the former president’s first few years in office – even bringing along with him multiple women, including four known to be his girlfriends, DailyMail.com can reveal.  Unearthed visitor logs last month confirmed the late pedophile had visited the Executive Mansion at least 17 times during Bill Clinton’s first term, beginning shortly after his inauguration in 1993.     Additional records exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com now reveal that Epstein was not always alone during his trips to the White House, where he was joined by eight different women between 1993 and 1995.  Never-before-seen footage also shows the disgraced financier – who on three occasions visited the president’s house twice in one day – kept framed pictures of himself at the podium of the White House Briefing Room at his Palm Beach mansion.  The nature of Epstein’s accompanied visits to  B...

Prince Andrew   will almost certainly be asked about his private parts in his – lawsuit — and his accuser’s attorneys will likely try to depose Queen Elizabeth II, according to a lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein victims. The 61-year-old UK royal will be called on to give a deposition under oath after failing Wednesday in his bid to toss the lawsuit filed by longtime accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre — leaving nothing off the table. “It is without question the Duke will be asked about his private parts,” Spencer Kuvin, an attorney for several Epstein victims, told the Mirror. “Nothing is off limits, because if an underage girl can describe what the Duke of York’s private parts look like … how would that be if they had not had a relationship?” Kuvin asked. Andrew would not have to fly to the US — where authorities have long wanted to quiz him on what he knew about pedophile pal Epstein — but would be questioned “under oath, under penalty of perjury of US law” by Giuffre’s legal team, Kuvin ...

Virginia Giuffre is suing the prince, claiming he did stuff to her in 2001. His lawyers said the case should be thrown out, citing a 2009 deal she signed with convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein. But a New York judge ruled that the claim could be heard. He has consistently denied the claims. Buckingham Palace said it would not comment on an ongoing legal matter. The motion to dismiss the lawsuit against Prince Andrew was outlined in a 46-page decision by Judge Lewis A Kaplan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. It means the case against the Duke of York, 61, could be heard later this year. In court documents, Ms Giuffre said she was the victim of  trafficking and  by late billionaire financier Epstein. Part of her  involved being lent out to other powerful men, she alleges. Prince Andrew, the Queen’s second son, said in an interview with BBC Newsnight in 2019 that he had no recollection of ever meeting Virginia Giuffre, and her account...
