Modeling Scout Who Appears 1,000 Times in the Epstein Files Found Dead in Paris

Another person linked to Jeffrey Epstein has died mysteriously. The latest is a man named Daniel Siad. He was a modeling scout from France whose name appears in the Epstein files more than 1,000 times.

French authorities were investigating him over accusations that he helped traffic women to Epstein. He was recently found dead at his home outside of Paris. Authorities are investigating his death, suggesting they suspect foul play.

French media reported that Siad was “targeted by several complaints, including allegations of rape.” He was also “the subject of an investigation conducted by the office specialising in combating human trafficking.” Siad had denied the allegations against him and said “he wanted to be heard and give his version of events,” according to reports.

France24, in a video report, referred to Epstein’s trafficking operation as “organized crime” that lasted decades and was global in scope.

Not the First

This is not the first French modeling agent tied to Epstein who died mysteriously. In 2020, authorities arrested Jean-Luc Brunel over allegations that he procured women for Epstein. France24 spoke to a woman who claimed Brunel drugged and raped her when she was a model on the rise. Thysia Huisman said the assault happened after she was invited to stay at Brunel’s apartment.

Brunel started the modeling agency MC2 together with Epstein. Reports say the agency was used as a funnel for trafficking women to Epstein. Brunel was found dead by hanging in prison in 2022.  His supposed suicide, many observed, bore striking similarities to that of Epstein’s.

Trafficking Pipeline

The modeling industry is widely known as a pipeline for the trafficking of young girls. Industry activist Sara Ziff “has called for business leaders to be hauled before lawmakers in Washington to investigate what role modeling agencies may have played in the Epstein sex-trafficking scandal,” according to reports.

Almost all the fallout from the release of the Epstein files has happened in Europe. A number of high-profile elites have been arrested (though their incarceration was temporary) or banned from polite society. Meanwhile in the United States, the Justice Department is preventing New Mexico authorities from investigating Epstein’s former ranch in the state. It’s also refusing to cooperate with a judicial order to hand over a number of documents to an independent journalist suing for more transparency. Moreover, the DOJ is still holding onto more than two million files the co-sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act say the public is still entitled to under the law. The DOJ has said there is nothing more to release.

Siad’s suspicious death is the latest sign that there’s more to this saga than the people who are implicated are willing to allow us to know. There appears to be some sort of unseen power working to conceal as much information about Epstein as possible. It seems to exert power over the top law-enforcement agency in the United States. It also appears willing and able to kill people who know too much. With every additional suspicious development in this saga, it becomes more apparent that Epstein was far more than a depraved sex fiend and pedophile.
