      Bribe or threaten whoever did the autopsy?

      In any other reality this would be an insane conspiracy theory, but it’s not a huge leap for the one we’re in.

      I seem to recall there was actually some questions around the autopsy and that the damages to Epstein’s throat were not consistent with strangulation by a bedsheet but more in line of being choked out and a crushed windpipe.

      Maybe someone else has more info.

      What do you think is done during an autopsy? They take fingerprints and do the autopsy part. If no prints are able they’ll look into it further, like teeth x rays and matching bone breaks and whatnot.

      In Epsteins case, they took prints and matched them with when he was arrested in Florida in 2006.

      The prints could have been swapped in Florida or the prints swapped at the autopsy office before being checked with Florida’s prints.

      So yeah, while the whole thing is probably unlikely, the killing a lookalike, and smuggling him into the prison, and smuggling Epstein out, and murdering the lookalike part all sound harder than the part where fingerprints get swapped out.
