Epstein: the plot thickens

We've seen it all before: the news, the alleged coverups, the conflicting stories, the everything else. So, if this were a movie or TV cop show, here are the plot points, in no specific order:

If he was on suicide watch, why was he "found" after the hanging? Did the regular guards call in sick and were they replaced by others?

What did he hang himself with? Is there any DNA on it besides his?

Were there any cameras on him? Were they functioning?

Once the ME determines cause and time of death, will it all be buried? Who IS the ME? Did the regular ME call in sick too?

Was the physical exam consistent with death by hanging? Crushed windpipe, dislocated discs, petechiae, bruises on the neck, etc.?

Cases are assigned to specific MEs by the chief ME. How did the ME who did the autopsy get selected?

Were there any "men in black" hanging around all this time?

Did the FBI insist on taking over the autopsy and the case?

Who were the first responders at the jail? What did they do?

Did the ME find any little puncture marks on the body? Any signs of succinilcholine?

What did he have for dinner last night? Who brought it to his cell? What happened to the tray and utensils?

Did he have any physical contact with anyone over the last couple of days?

And that's just in the first half of the movie...

In the second half, we get into whether he really died or was spirited away by a government cabal, never to be seen again.

People close to Epstein fear he was murdered...as Epstein told authorities someone tried to kill him in a previous incident weeks earlier. He was described as being in good spirits in recent days...
