Mega Edition: Who Is Stone Reyes And What Did He Tell Bill Barr About Epstein's Demise? (3/28/26)

Stone Reyes was an inmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center who briefly served as Jeffrey Epstein’s cellmate during a period when Epstein was placed on suicide watch in July 2019. After Epstein was discovered injured in his cell, authorities placed him under heightened observation, and Reyes was assigned to share the cell in accordance with standard procedures used in federal detention facilities to monitor inmates considered at risk of self-harm. Reyes later told investigators that during the time they shared a cell, Epstein did not appear suicidal and instead seemed focused on his legal situation and the prospect of fighting the charges against him. His account became part of the broader timeline reconstructing Epstein’s final weeks in federal custody before his death.

Reyes’s name surfaced again because of reports that he later had a meeting with William Barr after Epstein died in custody. Barr, who was serving as Attorney General at the time and overseeing the Justice Department’s response to the death, reportedly spoke with Reyes as part of efforts to gather information about Epstein’s condition and behavior while he had been on suicide watch. The meeting was described as part of the government’s attempt to understand the sequence of events inside the jail in the days leading up to Epstein’s death, particularly since Reyes had direct contact with him during that earlier monitoring period. Reyes’s observations became one of several firsthand accounts examined as officials attempted to reconstruct what happened inside the facility.
