00:00Before his death, Jeffrey Epstein had a partner, and it wasn't, Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:05Meet Karina Shuliek, the Belarusian woman he was reportedly planning to marry.
00:10And according to records, was Epstein's last phone call before his death in August 2019.
00:17Her name appears 45,000 times in the three million documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice on
00:24January 30th.
00:25Yet, she remains far less known than Maxwell.
00:28Two days before his death, Epstein signed the 1953 Trust, leaving Shuliek $100 million, including $50 million up front.
00:39The will also granted her a 33-carat diamond ring, 48 more diamonds, as well as various properties,
00:46including his New Mexico ranch, his Paris apartment on Avenue Foch, and the famous Little St. James Island.
00:54Maxwell? Well, she was named too, but for only $10 million.
00:58However, Shuliek is unlikely to see that fortune.
01:02The U.S. government has frozen the Epstein estate to compensate victims who have already received over $121 million.
01:10Documents also show Epstein funded her Columbia University dental studies,
01:15helped her family move to the U.S., and supported her path to citizenship.
01:19But here's the big question.
01:22What did she know?
01:24Well, a whole lot, it seems.
01:26Documents describe Shuliek as a central figure in Epstein's inner circle,
01:30managing his schedule, handling high-profile contacts, having earned her the nickname, the Inspector.
01:36While she has not been charged with any crime, her proximity to Epstein is now raising fresh scrutiny.
01:42Today, little is known about her exact whereabouts.
01:45She's believed to be living in New York City, and so far, prosecutors do not appear to be actively pursuing
01:51her,
01:52even as major questions about her role continue to linger.
01:55Thank you very much.
