German Model Missing Since 2015 Named in Epstein Files

2 sources

A German model identified as "Michele" who disappeared in September 2015 at age 22 has been named in the Epstein files, according to reporting by Der Spiegel and ZDF. She had been in contact with model recruiter Daniel Siad, who is under investigation in France for allegedly aiding Jeffrey Epstein in trafficking and abusing women. The discovery has intensified her family's concerns about her fate, though there is no evidence she ever met Epstein himself.

German news outlets Der Spiegel and ZDF reported that a model known only as "Michele," missing for nearly 11 years since September 2015, appears in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The woman had maintained contact with Daniel Siad, a model recruiter with connections to the late convicted sex offender. According to Der Spiegel, Siad sent Epstein photographs of Michele along with her physical measurements, writing that "you will love her," though the magazine notes there is no proof the two ever met. Siad is currently under investigation in France on charges of aiding Epstein in trafficking and abusing women, which he denies. Two former Epstein assistants told Der Spiegel they had never seen Michele. Her mother expressed fears for her daughter's safety, stating she believes Michele is no longer alive.

What's missing

The current status of Daniel Siad's legal proceedings in France and any official statements from German law enforcement regarding Michele's disappearance investigation are not detailed in these reports.
