The Unsealed Jeffrey Epstein Grand Jury Documents From Florida (Part 9)

0:00What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode we're going to pick up where we left off with the grand jury transcripts, and that's with the new witness Gregory Parkinson. Ms. Dugan, okay, would you raise your right hand? Parkinson, yes, Ms. Dugan, do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give today? We'll be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God. The witness, yes I do, the examination. Ms. Belahovlick, okay, would you introduce yourself to the grand jurors please? Parkinson, good morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is Gregory Parkinson. Belahovlick, how long have you been employed as the law enforcement officer? Answer, I've been in the business 40 years now, I started on October 25th of 1966. Belahovlick, and where were you working then? Answer, I worked for the West Palm Beach Police Department, where I served for 34 years, until I retired on July 3rd of the year 2000.

1:03I had the 4th of July off and went to work the next day as an investigator for the State Attorney's Office, where I've worked for three years. I left on February 14th of 2003 and had the weekend off, and then took over a management position with the town of Palm Beach Police Department, where I'm still currently employed. Belahovlick, what's your position with the Palm Beach Police Department? Answer, I hold the rank of police officer, but I also hold the title of civilian, where I am in charge of the crime scene investigation unit, the photography unit, the evidence holding unit, and the fingerprint unit. Belahovlick, in your capacity as the crime scene head, did you take part in the search warrant executed on Jeffrey Epstein's house on August, October 20th, 2005? Answer, yes I did. Belahovlick, tell us how you go about executing a search warrant in general. Answer, once the warrant is signed and brought back to headquarters, I'm not aware of this at that time. On this morning, which was the Thursday morning, when I went to the morning briefing at that time,

2:06I was informed that a search warrant would be executed and that it would be at this residence. My responsibility is then to assemble the team of evidence specialists and crime scene processors that will respond to this unannounced scene. We don't even know where we're going until we're in what looks like a funeral procession or a parade, all the cars are ready to go. We follow the lead car, and only then when we arrive, do we know the location? Belahovlick, why is that done? Answer, it's an issue of security, it's an issue of privacy, and it's an issue of officer safety, so that there is a guarantee that there can be no leak of any information, even as simple as an address from my office. And we prefer to operate in that manner. So we don't know until we get there. All we really need to know is that we are going to be going into so that we know the volume of bags, the volume of boxes, the volume of gloves or masks or processing gowns or lab coats, whether we would need head cover to protect or to prevent contamination of a scene or shoe covers, which also prevent contamination of the scene.

3:11We don't need to know a lot about the scene, we only need to know what type of evidence we're going to be looking for and the potential volume or size of the area. Knowing this, we are then prepared to go to the scene and do whatever is necessary to fulfill the requirements of the search warrant, and that's searching for specific items. Ms. Belahovlick, Mr. Parkinson, so that would, in addition to officer safety, so that someone not waiting there to ambush you, also nobody at the place to be searched knows you're coming, so they can't just dispose of things. Answer, that's correct. Belahovlick, okay, on this date, October 20th, where did you go? Answer, I went to a residence located on the island of Palm Beach, Palm Beach, County, Florida, with the address of 358 Elbrio Way. The 300 block is the block just immediately west of the intercostal waterway. Belahovlick, east of the intercostal waterway? Answer, it is on the east side of the intercostal waterway. In fact, this particular residence

4:12is on the intercostal waterway. Belahovlick, okay, describe to us how the house is entered. Answer, the residence had staff or personnel present at the time of our arrival. Detective Rikari went in ahead of me, and understanding that once you enter the property, there is a heightened danger factor with persons or personnel on the scene. And the first thing that must be done for everyone's safety is to go in and not search for items, but clear the residents of living human beings so that there can be no access to weapons or any endangerment to them. This was done, and I took part in the search of the second floor on the west end of the residence. All the living persons, and there were no dead persons there, so all of the persons, non-police persons, were escorted out to the south side of the residence into a patio area. Belahovlick, were they allowed to take any items out of the home with them? Answer, no. Nor did the police look, touch, or move anything, other than opening doors, closets, to make sure that there were no other persons inside. It was not a search in the sense of the search warrant at this

5:16time. It was the search of the residents to clear it, and neutralize any element of danger. This was done. This was accomplished. At this time, Officer Detective Rikari would read out loud word for word the search warrant to those persons that were removed from the house. My responsibility at this time was to video and audio record the reading of that search warrant to these persons, that I did, and recorded it until the conclusion of the reading of the search warrant. Belahovlick, okay, were you requested by myself to prepare a diagram of the upper floor of the home searched? Answer, yes I was. Belahovlick, what rooms are on the upper floor? Answer, there are several rooms that are located on the second floor. It's basically an L-shaped appearance where the main body of the house is aligned east and west. There is an L-shaped short leg, which protrudes to the north. That actually sits, that L-leg sits over a three-car garage. The second floor contains a, on the west end, a large master bedroom which is aligned north and south. And then, off of the south side, there is a large master bedroom and large

6:21closet. Coming back through the bathroom to the north side, there is another bathroom. And these are quite large bathrooms. They're not like hour, he's cut off there by Belahovlick, and then he continues, you know, not like my house. Belahovlick, is this the diagram you prepared? Answer, yes it is. Belahovlick, okay, can I ask you to step down and indicate to the grand jurors what the upstairs looks like? What rooms we're seeing here? Answer to orient you, bear in mind, you're looking at the second floor here, and this is the spiral staircase, which goes from the second floor down to the first floor. And this coincidentally is a double door main entrance to the front of the house. And once inside, oops, juror broke the stairway. Answer, I did, I broke the stairway. Once entering the front door and coming up the stairway, you enter the landing. Once inside the landing, it's basically a very long hallway. This hallway has a double door, set here, and a double door set here. They open inward on the east side, they open inward on the west side. Once coming through this hallway, you then reach a normal-sized door,

7:26which gives you access to the master bedroom, which is the master bedroom. This is the large bathroom on the south side, and this is the large walk-in closet of which there are two doors that you can enter and walk in all the way through and back out to the other. And again, moving back through the bedroom past the hallway, you then enter another large bathroom, which has a sink, closets, and a large bathtub. And it was right here, what looked very similar to a dentist chair without the big light. It had all kinds of tubes and things on it. I don't know really what the thing would do. Answer, no, it was just part of the furniture there, like similar to a bed was here, and a credenza over there. Belehovelic, are these toilet facilities here or is it just sinks in these bathrooms? Answer, I believe that there were toilets also there in the hall. Belehovelic, all right, did you find the massage table? Answer, yes, there was a massage table in the bathroom. Belehovelic, okay, how about massage oils? Were there massage oils up in that

8:28bathroom? Answer, I believe there were. I know that we got some kind of jar of material out of his master bedroom, out of one of the dressers. Belehovelic, what about the actual room where the massage table was in? Answer, that, I'm not sure. I was involved in the actual search and photography of that. Other investigators would have to comment on it. Belehovelic, okay, do you have the reports? Answer, yes, I do. Are they from the investigators? Belehovelic ass? Answer, well, I have the evidence sheets. Belehovelic, okay, answer of where the things were found. Belehovelic, okay, could you see if there were any massage oils found within the same room, where the massage table was? Answer, okay, and items that would be taken into custody by the police department would be itemized on the property receipt, like that. Answer, that's true. Belehovelic, okay, but so there was a massage oil found by the master bedroom, this room, answer, yes, and I actually had that pointed out to me by detective Rikari, and it was called the

9:30bottle or joy jelly, and it was from the master bedroom in the credenza, which was right here. Belehovelic, okay, you could have a seat again. Answer, thank you. Belehovelic, thank you. You've had a chance to go over the receipts of all the properties that was contained. Answer, yes, Belehovelic, did any of the officers find a purple vibrator at the home? Answer, I have item 24, which, which may be that, I have not actually seen it, but it's called a Twin Torpedo. Belehovelic, all right, the Twin Torpedo was not found in the master bedroom, though. Wasn't it found in another bedroom? I think detective Rikari testified it was found in Galein Maxwell's or Nadia's bedroom. Answer, I don't know. I don't have a listing right here on this particular document, as to where it was found on the evidence sheet, that would be covered in Detective Rikari's report. Belehovelic, nothing listed as a purple vibrator, though. Answer, not on the sheets that I have. Belehovelic, what about a white vibrator? Answer, I don't remember seeing a white vibrator.

10:34There may have been something that was recovered by them, and photographed by CSI Pavlich. Belehovelic, but you have the property receipts in this case, and it's not listed. Answer, I don't see it listed here. No. Belehovelic, okay. At this point, I'm going to see if the grand jurors have any further questions for you. The witness, I'm at your service. A juror gets called upon. Do you have any sexual toys other than the double headed torpedo on the list? The witness, not on the list that I have here, sir. juror, that's the only sexual toy you have. Witness, pardon? Juror, that's the only sexual toy that was confiscated in this search. Witness, I believe, to my knowledge it is. I haven't seen the white or purple, so I can't. He gets cut off here by the juror, or any other type of sexual toy period. Witness, right. Personally, I have not seen those. Juror, okay. Witness, but that is not uncommon either because of the nature of this investigation. Detective Rikari would be the one that has the knowledge on all those

11:37specific items. Other than filming the room itself, or I'm sorry, the residence itself prior to the search, recording the reading of the search warrant, and then folks also after the search, I go through the re-video to show that the police did not do any damage, and then the door is finally locked and secured. So there would be areas while I was in it, I photographed it from a video standpoint. I would not have direct knowledge of some of the items that were found, but Detective Rikari would. Belahovlik, and you obtain copies of all the evidence sheets of evidence checked in, correct? Witness, I think so, yes. Belahovlik, yes, witness, yes. Belahovlik, and only that twin torpedo is the only sexual item that was listed. Witness, as best as I can tell, correct? Belahovlik, okay, calls on the next juror. Is that report just from the master bedroom, or from all the bedrooms on the second floor? Witness actually represents the entire residence,

12:37plus the two, the servants quarters, barracks, and on the southwest corner, the fitness and exercise room. I believe this encompasses everything. Jure, can you point out what room that this woman Nadia was in? Belahovlik, are you familiar with which bedroom was Nadia's? Witness, I am not. Belahovlik, Detective Rikari, we can, the witness, right? Belahovlik, bring them back in to show that, okay? Witness, right? Belahovlik, any other questions? Another juror raises their hand? Was the suspect at the house at the time you served the warrant, sir? Witness, no, sir, he was not. Jure, thank you. The next juror is called upon. Do your warrants have anything listed for like computer equipment or things like that? Witness, it did. Jure, it did. Witness, yes. And we did take the computer equipment. Jure, and can you say what's on it? Witness, that was handled by the special investigations unit. And while I saw, actually physically saw

13:38the computers and saw them disconnected and removed, I never saw anything that was on those computers. Jure, and did they confiscate passports or anything from anyone in the home? Witness, no, sir, no passports. And there were no weapons in the house, rifles. Jure, they left them. Yeah, yes, sir. They were left behind because that was never part of what we were looking for. So those were all left behind. Belahovlik calls on the next juror. Could you tell us the people that that you found there? Who was there? Witness, do I know who they were? Jure, the people. Yeah, who were they? Witness, I understand. One was the property manager. I think he was either Germanic or possibly Polish. He had an Eastern European accent. Jure, was that the only person? Witness, no, there were, I think three people there. Jure, who were they? Witness, I don't know who they were, sir. Belahovlik, we can ask Detective Recari. Witness, right. Detective Recari would know who they are. Jure, do you know what the gentleman that owned the house was out? Did they tell you he was out of town? Witness, yeah.

14:42We knew he was out of town. Yes. Belahovlik, all right. Thank you. Witness, thank you. All right. So this is where we're going to wrap up, where they let go of the witness here. And the next witness that they're bringing up is going to be Jure Kari once again. And in the next episode, that's where we're going to pick up. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
