Just hours before he was found lifeless in his Manhattan jail cell, Jeffrey Epstein uttered four chilling words that now hang over his death like a curse: “They’re trying to kill me.” For years, these words were whispered by his attorneys, hinted at by guards, and suspected by the public — but now, for the first time, they’ve been confirmed in writing by a newly unsealed set of prison visitation logs and legal memos that reveal the final hours of the world’s most notorious sex trafficker.
In a report obtained by DailyMail, a close legal confidant who visited Epstein the night before his death transcribed the message in a memo that has remained under seal — until now. “He was tense. He wouldn’t sit down. He said the words quietly, but with certainty,” the attorney wrote. “They’re trying to kill me in here.”
The document was reportedly shared with senior Bureau of Prisons officials — and promptly ignored. By 6:30 AM the next morning, Epstein was dead. What followed was a stunning breakdown in security: camera footage corrupted, guards asleep, suicide watch removed just days earlier. To this day, no one has been criminally charged for his death.
Now, the four final words — confirmed and dated — are triggering a massive reaction online. Charlie Kirk’s tweet quoting the phrase exploded overnight: “He told his lawyer they were going to kill him. And then… he’s gone. Wake up, America.”
The hashtag #EpsteinDidntKillHimself is back at the top of trending charts, especially after a bombshell thread by independent journalist Josh Lekach shared the internal notes that mentioned Epstein pacing, sweating, and refusing food the night before. “They’re going to do it tonight,” he allegedly told his attorney before abruptly ending the visit early.

Adding fuel to the fire, Jordan Schachtel posted, “If the roles were reversed, and Epstein was about to testify against a low-level criminal — there’d be no way he’d be left alone in a jail cell without supervision.”
That exact point is what’s driving the fury. Days before his death, Epstein met with federal prosecutors and reportedly handed over several high-profile names — including a U.S. senator, a Silicon Valley billionaire, and a former cabinet official. The notes from that meeting remain sealed, despite multiple FOIA lawsuits.
In a gut-wrenching ABC News report, one survivor said, “I always feared they would get to him before I got my day in court. And they did.”
Even Dr. Michael Baden — the forensic pathologist hired by Epstein’s brother — continues to insist that the injuries weren’t consistent with suicide. “The burst blood vessels in his eyes, the broken bones in his neck — that’s homicide, not hanging,” he said again this week.
Attorney Alan Dershowitz, who once represented Epstein, revealed on a recent podcast appearance that Epstein had grown “paranoid and desperate” in the last 48 hours. “He kept saying, ‘I’m being set up. Someone wants me dead,’” Dershowitz recalled.
Meanwhile, prison logs obtained by the New York Post show a mysterious visitor entered the MCC around 1:00 AM — just hours before Epstein was found. The visitor’s name was redacted, and no surveillance footage was ever recovered from the hallway. That segment of the system, prison officials said, had been “malfunctioning.”

Public outcry is surging. A Change.org petition demanding a full Congressional investigation has passed 500,000 signatures in under 72 hours. Even moderate politicians are voicing alarm. Sen. JD Vance posted on X, “How many red flags do we need? Cameras broken, logs missing, high-profile informant dead. Reopen the damn case.”
Meanwhile, conspiracy theories are spiraling across Reddit and Telegram — but many of them point to the same unanswered question: why would someone as wealthy, legally strategic, and reportedly optimistic about his trial suddenly kill himself… right after naming names?
One of the most haunting confirmations came from a survivor named Maria Farmer, who testified publicly against Epstein and Maxwell. In a Guardian interview, she said Epstein warned her during a 2009 phone call, “If I go down, others go down with me. That’s why I won’t be allowed to live.”
Her voice cracked as she revisited that call after learning about the newly surfaced legal memo. “He wasn’t wrong,” she said. “The system erased him.”
Though officials still classify Epstein’s death as suicide, the final four words — now memorialized in legal ink — are unlikely to go quietly. “They’re trying to kill me” has already become a rallying cry, plastered on protest signs, TikToks, and even T-shirts. Because if Jeffrey Epstein was right… then someone still got away with murder.
