News Release from Red Deer RCMP

Red Deer RCMP recover stolen property and vehicles, charges laid

Over a one week period, Red Deer RCMP Crime Reduction Team (CRT) made several arrests and recovered stolen property, following police investigation.

On Aug. 25, 2022, Red Deer RCMP CRT were making pro-active patrols when a stolen vehicle was located. A 34 year-old male, a resident of Red Deer, was found driving the vehicle. Subsequent investigation led to police seizing a shotgun, which had been altered, as well as methamphetamine, both of which were located inside the vehicle. Charges are pending against the male, including Possession of stolen property, Possession of a controlled substance, and Possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle.

On Aug. 30, 2022, Red Deer RCMP CRT identified a vehicle with a stolen licence plate attached. RCMP launched an investigation and obtained a search warrant in relation to a residence. Police arrested a male (37 years), a resident of Red Deer, with the assistance of the RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Police Dog Service (PDS). This male was held in custody pending the results of a Judicial Interim Release Hearing (JIR), as he has previously been arrested and charged for similar offences in Dec. 2021 and Jan. 2022. Charges are pending, including 3 counts of Possession of stolen property of licence plates.

On Aug. 31, 2022, members of Red Deer RCMP CRT were again conducting pro-active patrols when they identified a stolen licence plate on a vehicle. Investigation determined the truck was also reported stolen. Two females were located in the vehicle, and the female driver attempted to flee on foot. With the assistance of Red Deer RCMP PDS, CRT arrested both females. Charges are pending against the 21 year-old driver, a resident of Sylvan Lake, Alta, who was further arrested on outstanding warrants. Following a JIR hearing, she was released to appear in court at a later date. On Sept. 1, 2022, less then an hour after being released from custody, this same female was again located driving a stolen vehicle. She was arrested and is currently in custody awaiting a JIR hearing with new charges. 

These arrests are part of the RCMP’s ongoing efforts to reduce crime in Red Deer, and are the result of intelligence led policing initiatives.

“Red Deer RCMP seeks to identify repeat offenders and conduct targeted enforcement initiatives, in an effort to reduce crime within our community,” said Sgt. Kay, who leads the Community Response Detail in Red Deer. “Many offenders use stolen vehicles to commit other property crimes, such as shoplifting and breaking and entering. By conducting pro-active investigations and patrols, we aim to reduce the offences being committed in Red Deer. ”

In addition, the Red Deer RCMP would like to remind the public that most vehicle thefts are preventable.

“Never leave your vehicle running with the keys in the ignition and always remember to lock your doors after exiting your vehicle. Whenever possible, park your vehicle in a garage or in a well-lit area and never leave personal belongings in plain sight,” says Sgt. Kay.

Motorists are also encouraged to attend this year’s AMA’s Fall Care Event, where Red Deer RCMP have partnered to hand out anti-theft screws designed to prevent theft of licence plates from vehicles. This event will take place on Saturday, September 17, at the Westerner Grounds parking lot, and there is no cost to the public.

Eyebrows Raise as Karoline Leavitt Answers Tough Questions About Epstein

Published on July 7, 2025

Peter Doocy asked directly, “What happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?” Here’s how Leavitt tried to explain it.

The Epstein client list was supposed to be SITTING on Pam Bondi’s desk for review.

But months later, the DOJ says no such list even exists.

Karoline Leavitt was just asked why there was such a reversal in so little time.

Her responses today are raising eyebrows.

On February 21st, Pam Bondi told the world the Epstein client list was “sitting on [her] desk right now to review,” explaining it was part of a directive ordered by President Trump.

Shortly afterward, she and Kash Patel pledged to end the Epstein cover-up, promising to fully disclose the Epstein files to the public, hold accountable any government officials who withheld key evidence, and investigate why critical documents had been hidden in the first place.

But ever since late February, it seems the cover-up wasn’t exposed but buried even deeper by those who promised transparency.

First, they handed out the so-called “Epstein files” to influencers like golden Willy Wanka tickets, only for everyone to discover that almost all of the contents inside were already public and contained no new revelations.

Fast-forward to May, and suddenly Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are declaring firmly that Epstein killed himself.

“I’ve seen the whole file. He killed himself,” Bongino stated bluntly to Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo.

Today, the Trump-appointed DOJ and FBI released a new report that’s turning heads and raising plenty of questions.

They concluded that Epstein had no clients, didn’t blackmail anyone, and definitely killed himself.

They also released surveillance footage and claimed it showed no one entered Epstein’s cell area, supporting the suicide ruling.

But people aren’t convinced. Some allege the video cuts off, with a minute of footage missing between 11:59 PM and midnight.

Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to questions about the Epstein client list in light of these new DOJ and FBI statements.

A reporter asked, “Karoline, the DOJ and FBI have now concluded there was no Jeffrey Epstein client list. What do you tell MAGA supporters who say they want anyone involved in Epstein’s alleged crimes held accountable?”

Leavitt replied, “This administration wants anyone who has ever committed a crime to be accountable, and I would argue this administration has done more to lock up bad guys than certainly the previous administration.”

She continued, “The Trump administration is committed to truth and transparency. That’s why the Attorney General and the FBI Director pledged, at the president’s direction, to do an exhaustive review of all the files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and his death. They put out a memo in conclusion of that review.”

“There was material they did not release because frankly it was incredibly graphic and contained child pornography, which is not something that is appropriate for public consumption,” she added.

“But they committed to an exhaustive investigation. That’s what they did and they provided the results of that.”

“That’s transparency,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt was also pressed about Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments in February when she claimed she had the Epstein list “on [her] desk.”

Peter Doocy asked, “Okay, so the FBI looks at the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?”

Leavitt responded, “I think if you go back and look at what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was on your network, on Fox News—”

Doocy pushed back, “I have the quote. John Roberts said: ‘DOJ may release the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients, will that really happen?’ And she said, ‘It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.’”

Leavitt explained, “Yes. She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, that’s what the Attorney General was referring to. And I will let her speak for that.”

“But when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.”

So, after months of patiently waiting, the American people get a nothing burger that simply repeats the same old claims we heard under Bill Barr.

Even worse, it’s purported that this is what “transparency” and “accountability” look like.

The story went from saying the Epstein client list was “on my desk” to “actually, there is no client list.”

And the newly released video footage raises questions and, in the age of AI, proves nothing.

If there’s really nothing to hide, why does it still feel like they’re hiding everything?

And most importantly—who’s still being protected?

Thanks for reading to the end. I hope you found this timeline of events and recap helpful.

News Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list, nor did he kill himself, Trump DOJ, FBI claim

Published on July 7, 2025

From LifeSiteNews

Elon Musk, who previously said Trump was on the list, was one of many X users to express skepticism of the report.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations say they have found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list,” or was murdered, per a memo obtained by Axios.

The document states that Epstein died by suicide and confirms that no further charges will be filed — effectively signaling the end of an active investigation, though no formal closure has been announced.

The findings were disclosed in a two-page statement, marking the Trump administration’s first definitive rejection of years of speculation surrounding Epstein’s 2019 death in federal custody.

Investigators say enhanced surveillance footage from the night Epstein died in a New York prison shows no one entered the area near his cell from the time he was locked in until his body was discovered.

“The FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color, and improving its sharpness,” the memo states.

Axios also claimed that the Trump administration would be releasing videos proving its findings, though the links provided in the Axios story to the videos were inactive.

Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell remains incarcerated, serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking underage girls.

Despite previously being outspoken skeptics of the official government narrative, current FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino now back the findings.

Despite the release of the footage, questions remain about the veracity of the findings.

A February release of Epstein-related files by the DOJ was criticized by members of Congress, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), for failing to disclose new information.

“THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR,” she exclaimed in an X post.

The latest memo reiterates that further disclosures would not be “appropriate or warranted,” citing concerns about revealing details of abuse and risking the exposure of otherwise innocent individuals.

Adding fuel to the controversy, former DOGE adviser Elon Musk recently accused Trump of being named in Epstein’s files. Musk later retracted the claim and deleted his X posts about the topic, but shared his frustration with the latest developments earlier today.

 

The DOJ’s announcement signals that the government considers the matter closed, despite continued public interest and bipartisan demands for greater transparency.
