Joseph Recarey, a former Palm Beach detective who had a knack for making others smile, who tackled the islands largest and most important investigations, and who cared deeply for his family and friends, died Friday, May 25, 2018, after a brief illness. He was 50.

For Reiter (the other detective on the case), business tycoon Jeffrey Epstein wasnt any more formidable than any of the other 8,000 or so wealthy and powerful people living on the island. Police had handled sensational cases involving wealthy residents before from the murders of heiresses to the rape case involving William Kennedy Smith, of the Kennedy family.

The easternmost town in Florida, Palm Beach is a 10.4-square-mile barrier island between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean populated by some of the richest people in the country. President Trump has his winter White House in Palm Beach, and the town makes news as much for its glitz as it does for its unusual efforts to preserve its well-mannered image, like banning shirtless joggers.

But it was a little surprising, even to Reiter, to learn that one of its residents had a revolving door of middle and high school girls coming to his gated compound throughout the day and night.

In their first media interviews about the case, Reiter and Recarey revealed new details about the investigation, and how they were, in their view, pressured by then-Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer to downgrade the case to a misdemeanor or drop it altogether.

It became apparent to me that some of our evidence was being leaked to Epsteins lawyers, who began to question everything that we had in our probable cause affidavit, Reiter said.

The day of the search on Oct. 20, 2005, they found that most of Epsteins computer hard drives, surveillance cameras and videos had been removed from the house, leaving loose, dangling wires, according to the police report.
But the girls description of the house squared with what detectives found, right down to the hot pink couch and the dresser drawer of sex toys in Epsteins bathroom.

Reiter said his own trash was disappearing from his house, as his life was put under Epsteins microscope. Private investigators hired by Epsteins lawyers even tracked down Reiters grade school teachers, the former chief said. Questions were raised about donations that Epstein had made to the police department, even though Reiter had returned one of the donations shortly after the investigation began.

Recarey, meanwhile, said he began to take different routes to and from work, and even switched vehicles because he knew he was being tailed.

At some point it became like a cat-and-mouse game. I would stop at a red light and go. I knew they were there, and they knew I knew they were there. I was concerned about my kids because I didnt know if it was someone that they hired just out of prison that would hurt me or my family, Recarey said.
Despite relentless political pressure, Reiter and Recarey soldiered on, and their determination yielded evidence that supported most of the girls allegations, they said. They had phone records that showed Epstein and his assistant, Kellen, had called many of the girls. Epsteins flight logs showed that the calls were made when Epstein was in Palm Beach.

They obtained dozens of message pads from his home that read like a whos who of famous people, including magician David Copperfield and Donald Trump, an indication of Epsteins vast circle of influential friends. There were also messages from girls, and their phone numbers matched those of many of the girls Recarey had interviewed, Recarey said. They read: Courtney called, she can come at 4, or Tanya cant come at 7 p.m. tomorrow because she has soccer practice.
They also found naked photographs of underage girls in Epsteins closet, Recarey said.

There were also witnesses: Two of Epsteins butlers gave Recarey sworn interviews, confirming that young girls had been coming and going at the house.

One of the butlers, Alfredo Rodriguez, told Recarey that when he was tasked with cleaning up the master bath after Epsteins sessions with the girls he often discovered sex toys. Once, he accidentally stumbled on a high school girl, whom he identified, sleeping naked in Epsteins spa, he testified in a 2009 court deposition.

Rodriguez said he was given the job of paying the girls, telling Recarey that he was a human ATM machine because he was ordered by Epstein to keep $2,000 on him at all times. He was also assigned to buy the girls gifts.

Rodriguez gave Recarey copies of pages from a book that Epstein and his staff kept with the names and phone numbers for many of the Palm Beach girls, Recarey said.

Rodriguez, however, held onto the bulk of Epsteins little black book, and in November 2009 tried to sell it for $50,000 to an undercover FBI agent posing as a victims lawyer. He was arrested, and sentenced in 2012 to federal prison, and died three years later following an illness. The book listing personal phone numbers for a cavalcade of Epsteins powerful friends and celebrities eventually became public as part of a civil lawsuit. It listed more than 100 female names and phone numbers under the headings massage in every city where Epstein had homes.

It makes you wonder if that brief illness was brought on by outside forces. The man was in good health and only 50-years-old.

This sudden death is made all the more strange because of statements made by Reiter. In 2010, Reiter gave an exclusiveinterview to the Daily Beast where he states that during the investigation both him and Recarey became aware that they were under surveillance for several months by an unknown source. Reiter also previously stated that State Attorney Barry Krischer was hesitant to prosecute Epstein, causing Reiter to send a letter to Krischer complaining of the highly unusual conduct involved in the case.

That State Attorney Krischer turned a blind eye to this case is made all the more disturbing when you recognize he was also in charge of Floridas Crimes Against Children Unit, a position in which he could directly affect cases against individuals accused of crimes against kids.

According to his obituary, In 2013, Joe retired as a law enforcement officer as one of the most decorated Detectives in the history of the Palm Beach Police Department, and accepted a position to work in the private sector. He joined Gold Coast Beverage Distributors, the fourth largest beer distributor in the country as the Director of Loss Prevention. After Gold Coast was sold, Joe was again recruited to join Gold Coast Holdings as the Director of Facilities, where he was responsible for more than 90 restaurant locations and several commercial buildings. Joe will always be remembered for his generous spirit and pursuit of justice for victims. His passion for helping others was contagious and his steadfast devotion to his family was extraordinary. Joe never missed an opportunity to make people laugh, no matter the circumstances.

Haha, I heard about him several years ago because I made friends with a couple Vietnam vets who were deep into conspiracy theories. I chalked rich guy named Epstein who runs a pedophile ring for the worlds elite up as nonsense back then.

Turns out people close to it werent surprised. Theres even a user on here @Sackgurl (? Im not sure if this is the right user) who lives on a neighboring island and she said this is par for the course for that place.

I wrote a paper on him a few months before the recent charges. It was kind of weird to see everyone acting so shocked when this felt like old news to me. It's a shame he killed himself, he should have gone to prison for a long time, and his cronies should have been taken down with him

Pretty sure the thing about undercover police showing up to peaceful protests to smash shit up so it'd be considered a riot was true as well. Also the gay frogs thing was at least partly right I believe
