Case Notes

Kazakh supermodel who visited Epstein's island at 18; died in 2008 at age 20

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Ruslana Korshunova was a Kazakhstani model who was flown to Jeffrey Epstein's private island, Little Saint James, on his private jet (the Lolita Express) in June 2006 when she was 18 years old. She died by suicide on June 28, 2008, jumping from the ninth-floor balcony of her New York apartment approximately two years after visiting the island. Recently released Epstein court documents reveal that Epstein discussed her death in personal correspondence. While the specific nature of any abuse or trauma she experienced on the island remains undisclosed, her inclusion in flight logs and Epstein's documented discussion of her death establish her as someone who was brought into Epstein's circle during a vulnerable period of her life and subsequently died under tragic circumstances.
