Newly released federal records tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation include direct references to locations in Brevard County, expanding the known geographic footprint of allegations connected to Epstein beyond Palm Beach and South Florida.
The documents, released as part of the broader Epstein file disclosures, include FBI Crisis Intake reports dated July 8, 2019, as well as aviation-related records connected to a Merritt Island business. While the records do not allege criminal wrongdoing by any Brevard County businesses, they document allegations and logistical information that place Epstein-related activity on Florida’s Space Coast.
According to the FBI Crisis Intake report, a caller contacted the FBI National Threat Operations Center to provide information related to alleged human trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein and associates.
Within the narrative portion of the report, the caller referenced Epstein being seen at locations in Cocoa Beach, Florida, specifically naming:
The report describes these locations as places allegedly frequented by Epstein and others, based on the caller’s observations and beliefs. The FBI document reflects unverified intelligence intake and is not a charging document. No allegations of criminal conduct are made against the named businesses within the report.
In addition to the FBI intake narrative, the release includes aviation configuration documents tied to Southeast Aero-Tek, located at 675 Oleander Drive in Merritt Island.
The documents detail auxiliary fuel tank configurations for a Boeing 727-100, including fuel capacity, tank placement, and range-related modifications. Epstein’s use of aircraft and long-range flight capabilities has been a central component of federal trafficking investigations, as aircraft were used to transport individuals across state and international borders.
The inclusion of these records indicates that aircraft modification or servicing connected to Epstein’s fleet occurred, or was documented, in Brevard County. The documents do not allege that Southeast Aero-Tek engaged in criminal conduct, nor do they indicate knowledge of criminal activity.
Public discussion of Epstein’s activities has historically centered on Palm Beach, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These newly released records suggest that federal investigators received information placing alleged Epstein-related activity in Brevard County, including Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island.
The records raise unresolved questions about whether local or state agencies were notified of the allegations at the time, and whether any follow-up investigations were conducted in Brevard County based on the information received by federal authorities.
The FBI Crisis Intake report documents allegations provided by a caller and preserved by the FBI. It does not represent findings of fact, confirmed evidence, or criminal charges. The aviation records reflect technical documentation and logistics, not allegations of misconduct by the aviation company.
However, the presence of Brevard County locations and businesses in federal Epstein-related records adds a new local dimension to a case that continues to raise questions about institutional awareness, jurisdictional oversight, and accountability.
As additional records are reviewed and agencies respond to inquiries, further clarification may emerge regarding what was known, when it was known, and what actions, if any, were taken locally.
