Disturbing Find on Jeffrey Epstein's 'Lolita Express': Baby Powder, Mold, and Dark Secrets Still Onboard

Nearly a decade after it was last flown, Jeffrey Epstein's infamous private jet, which is widely known as the 'Lolita Express,' is being revisited by the press.

The Boeing 727-100, tail number N908JE, has been grounded since 2016 and now sits deteriorating at an aviation storage facility in Brunswick, Georgia.

According to recent media reports, those who gained access to the aircraft revealed a decaying interior littered with personal items, including baby powder and lotion, mould-covered furnishings and abandoned equipment.

These details now sit as a stark reminder of the aircraft's central role in Epstein's sex-trafficking network, and as no criminal evidence emerged, the jet's condition has reignited questions about its past and whether more should have been preserved.

Lolita Express Was Central to Epstein's 'Activities'

Epstein acquired the aircraft in 2001 through a corporate entity linked to him and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The 133-foot jet was configured for luxury travel, featuring multiple seating areas, a galley kitchen, bathrooms and a private bedroom reportedly fitted with a king-sized bed.

Prosecutors and civil litigants have described the aircraft as one of the tools used to transport underage girls to Epstein's properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands. According to reports, flight logs released through court proceedings showed hundreds of trips over more than a decade.

High-profile figures, including former US President Bill Clinton, Noam Chomsky and more, were documented in flight manifests. Although Clinton has previously stated he was unaware of Epstein's criminal conduct and has denied any wrongdoing, a viral photo of him in the plane with a redacted girl sitting on his lap says otherwise.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent accusers, alleged in court filings that she was sexually abused on board the aircraft.

Inside the Abandoned Aircraft

According to recent on-site reporting, the aircraft's interior has been left exposed to years of humidity and neglect. The engines have been removed, and corrosion is visible along the fuselage.

Inside, the cabin reportedly contains torn leather seating, mildew, insects and a pervasive musty odour. Among the items documented were toiletries such as shaving cream, used toothbrushes, hair ties and bottles of baby lotion and baby powder stored in bathroom cabinets.

Monogrammed napkins bearing the aircraft's tail number and a dismantled satellite phone were also found onboard.

The presence of baby products like powder and lotion has prompted renewed public commentary, given Epstein's history of targeting minors.

The Aircraft's Limited Forensic Value

Aviation storage specialists have indicated the aircraft is unlikely ever to fly again. Having sat outdoors for nearly ten years without preservation measures, the interior has significantly degraded.

Legal experts have also suggested that the passage of time and environmental exposure would make it difficult for the plane to yield viable forensic evidence today. There have been no announcements of renewed investigative interest in the aircraft itself.

The jet was sold in 2018, prior to Epstein's arrest, and later changed ownership again in 2024. It remains in private hands, one that chooses to continue with the abandonment.
