For years, true crime obsessives had only numerous documentaries, books, and podcasts to pore over in regards to the horrifying case of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and alleged suicide. Now, as a recent piece in The Daily Beast notes, there’s now also an app that can utilize augmented reality (AR) to transform your living room into the prison cell where he died. (Yes, his death was ruled to be a suicide. Many have a hard time believing that.)
CrimeDoor is a new app allowing users to “enter a digital world that replicates with photo-accuracy the spatial layout of someone’s murder” from the comfy confines of their own home. Ever stare at your living room and think, “Gee, if only I could superimpose the Delphi murders on this?” Or wonder what your breakfast nook would look like with an “Epstein suicide site” motif? Well, now’s your chance.
“Using a tiny red joystick, users can tour a scene to see how far away the weapon was found, or in the case of Epstein, visit the morgue and inspect the striations on his neck,” reads the profile.
The Daily Beast also notes that the app’s co-founder “owns the AR life rights to long-dead crooner Dean Martin.” We’ll sure something tasteful and educational will come out of that in the not-too-distant future, too.

I was inclined to find his death suspicious, but seeing the type of people who insist it wasn’t a suicide makes me think maybe it was.
One of the more interesting aspects of Epstein’s suicide/murder I’ve seen is that a lot of the people who worked for him or were his victims deny the possibility of him killing himself, but not because of a potential conspiracy above him. Epstein apparently just didn’t do things himself – literally all aspects of his life were handled by someone else for him, from putting on his socks, slippers and shoes to washing him. Dude barely fed himself because he had others do it for him. According to them, at best he’d have someone arranged to kill him.
A lot of idiots have been latching onto this particular train, but that little tidbit really confirms to me that everything surrounding Epstein is so fucked up that I’m not even trying to guess what the hell happened.
I have never ever understood how people think “a 70 year old billionaire was facing spending the rest of his lifetime not only in prison, but as the lowest of the low, decided he’d had a good run, and checked out rather than suffer that” is a somehow incredible outcome.
I figured Epstein was a narcissist who was so committed to what he was doing, and had talked himself into believing that what he did was justified and he was the victim in this story, that he would rather die than try to have other people convince him otherwise.
Either that, or he ended up being killed by a pedo-hunter in prison, and they looked the other way.
Because a lot of powerful people, like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, were implicated in his illegal activities. So, I can see why a bunch would get together to have him murdered. But, I highly doubt that’s what happened. He most likely killed himself to avoid a hellish life in prison.
The way I always saw it was this: I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility that someone like Epstein might be murdered to protect shady, powerful people. But at the same time, if a prison’s security protocols are so fundamentally unreliable that an assassin could sneak in, murder someone, and then disappear without a trace, they’re also insecure enough to allow a high-profile prisoner to kill himself without anyone realizing it. So my tendency is to follow Occam’s razor and assume that the simpler explanation of suicide is more likely to be the truth.
Look at you, using logic and reason on the internet.
That’s impossible. Some nefarious rogue logic obviously must have snuck onto the internet and reasoned @Dev F’s comment.
Also who would kill him? Trump is too incompetent to do anything and Hillary is just right wing babble. Occams razor and Hanlens razor say suicide and the prison was poorly run.
There are many other rich and powerful people who associated with him or flew on his pedo plane.
Isn’t setting up a situation where suicide is very likely to succeed tantamount to murder? Transferring out experienced staff and replacing them with staff that had zero prisoner custodial experience and were entirely unreliable besides? Generally, intelligent but inexperienced people take pains to follow rules, not tossing them aside like 12 year olds.Given how hard Barr pressed to be in a position to influence Epstein’s death, if he wasn’t murdered, he was at least given a hard shove after removing all the impediments.
I think the synthesis position here is that if there was a conspiracy, it was a conspiracy to make sure that nobody intervened while Epstein made the obvious choice.
I thought the app was called Parler?At least until someone killed it.How deep does this rabbit hole go?
The biggest indicator that Trump didn’t try to have someone murder Epstein is that Epstein actually died.I’d be surprised if Trump’s hitmen were any more competent than his lawyers and fixers.
Giuliani: Murder for Hire
I’m now imagining Seb Gorka with a bald cap and a disheveled black suit trying to subdue a security guard and take their clothes.
That’s like the joke about how we know JFK wasn’t killed by the CIA — because he actually died (referring to the dozens of times the CIA tried and failed to assassinate Fidel Castro).
Barr had the biggest motive, which would explain the targeted love letter Barr wrote to Trump to ensure he’d be hired.
Wasn’t a murder, obviously a suicide. Everyone thinks there a detective by reading the Wikipedia page. Social media has made conspiracy theories easier to access and it rots your brain. Coincidence and incompetence is more common then grand conspiracies.
THANK U, NEXT.
I’ll solve it for you: scared shitless person realizes his world is ending and decides to kill himself rather than endure the pain, embarrassment and punishment.
We’ve seen this before. So. Many. Times.
Yup, and being a pedo, the guards let it happen.
Well more likely ephebophile but still illegal.
That’s a hair I refuse to split. A 50 year old man raping 13 year olds is no less gross than a 50 year old raping 12 year olds.
Damnit, that photo of Ghilslane Maxwell gets me every time: she’s a dead ringer for an ex and I’ve spent now like two straight years having to do a double-take every time it gets posted, which as it turns out is a lot.
