Epstein signed a new will, with assets valued at $577 million, just two days before his alleged suicide. He appointed two of his long-term attorneys, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, as executors. Epstein's assets were reportedly placed in a trust, which may make it difficult for his victims to collect damages.

Epstein is reported to have committed suicide by hanging himself. There is extensive evidence that he sexually abused underage girls and used them to blackmail prominent political figures. He had ties to the Israeli Mossad and, as part of his 2008 'sweetheart' plea deal, became an FBI informant.

Stephen and Joyce Singular join me in the first hour for a discussion of the genre bending documentary Casting JonBenet. Produced by Netflix and directed by Kitty Green, the film employs a novel approach to true crime documentaries: using an open casting call Green interviews Boulder area actors as they prepare for the roles of John and Patsy Ramesy and other major figures in the case, interspersed with some reenactments, and their own theories as to who committed the crime. We begin by discussing our overall feelings of the film and the merits and disappointments of this unique approach.
