German Model Missing Since 2015 Named in Jeffrey Epstein-Related DocumentsPreviousNext

A German model named Michele, missing since September 2015 at age 22, has been identified in documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, raising concerns about her fate. Michele had contact with model recruiter Daniel Siad, who is under investigation in France for alleged involvement in Epstein's trafficking network but denies the claims. While Siad reportedly sent Epstein photos of Michele, there is no evidence she met Epstein. Michele's family fears she may no longer be alive.
