If Epstein didn't off himself it was done to order because at least one of the influential people on whom he had dirt made it happen. McCartney's victims are all young girls on the edge of puberty. It's always possible one or more of them have family with connections, and the willingness to get people seen to. But - sort of - hard to predict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
