Epstein-Linked Model Scout Found Dead

Daniel Siad, a French modelling scout who allegedly recruited women for the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead at his home near Paris.

Siad was under formal investigation for rape and human trafficking at the time of his death and appeared extensively in the Epstein case files.

His death comes as authorities in multiple countries continue to investigate the sprawling network of associates who allegedly facilitated Epstein's abuse of underage girls and young women.

The case has drawn renewed attention to the French leg of the Epstein investigation, which has faced criticism for moving slowly compared to prosecutions in the United States.
