An internal FBI briefing included in the documents said that Noel is believed to be the figure that appears on surveillance footage near Epstein’s cell at 10:40pm the night before. The blurry shape appeared to be carrying something orange, which the agency believes to be linens.
“At approximately 10:40 pm, a correctional officer, believed to be Tova Noel, carried linen or inmate clothing up to the L-Tier, last time any correctional officer approached the only entrance to the SHU tier,” read the briefing.
Noel denied bringing linen to Epstein and Googling him, however she and Thomas previously admitted to not checking on inmates every 30 minutes and falsifying records. Both guards were fired after Epstein’s death, and criminal charges were brought against them but later dropped.
