We obtained—and authenticated—a second little black book from 1997 that belonged to Jeffrey Epstein


- Insider has obtained a never-before-seen address book that appears to have belonged to Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s.

- The book, which contains entries for 349 people, offers a window into the late sex offender's social circle a full decade prior to the era covered by his previously known "little black book." More than 200 names listed in the book did not appear in Epstein's later address book.

- Prominent entries not previously associated with Epstein include Morgan Fairchild, Suzanne Ircha, Carl Icahn, John A. Catsimatidis, Sandy Warner, and Martin Peretz.

Insider has obtained and authenticated an address book that, by all appearances, belonged to Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s.

The never-before-seen book puts hundreds of new people in Epstein's orbit, including dozens of prominent individuals who have never before been connected to the late sex offender.

The book contains 349 names in total, and traces previously reported relationships back to the 1990s. The majority of people listed in the book do not appear in Epstein's previously published "little black book," which dates to the early 2000s.

The address book came to light through a circuitous and unusual path: A self-described "enigmatic rock chick" living in Manhattan's East Village found it on the sidewalk in the late 1990s and kept it as a souvenir, intrigued by the famous names listed inside.

She rediscovered the book while cleaning out her storage unit last year, and after realizing it belonged to Jeffrey Epstein, sold it on eBay to a graduate student living on a farm in Vermont.

Insider took extensive steps to verify the authenticity of the book, including hiring a forensic document examiner to determine whether the book had been forged. The document examiner concluded that the book dated to the mid-to-late 1990s and had not been altered.

"I'm confident that the book is circa 1995 to 2000," the document examiner told Insider. His investigation involved studying both the book's physical characteristics, which included a distinctive binding strip manufactured in the 1990s, as well as its contents, including entries that contained a Palm Beach area code that was retired in 1996.

More than a dozen prominent people listed in the address book told Insider on the record that they had crossed paths with Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s.

"[Epstein] was not my cup of tea. I don't know how he got a hold of my address," said Cyril Fung, a Hong Kong-based venture capitalist who met Epstein at a dinner party in New York. "I myself had more than 700 names in my address book, but they are people who are first-name-basis friends."

We found Jeffrey Epstein's other little black book from the 1990s. Search all 349 names in our exclusive database.


- Insider has obtained a never-before-seen address book that appears to have belonged to Jeffrey Epstein in the '90s, connecting him to a new network of prominent financiers and political figures, including Melania Trump's best friend.

- The book, which contains 349 names, offers a window into the late sex offender's social circle a full decade before the era covered by his previously known "little black book." More than 200 names listed in the book did not appear in Epstein's later address book.

- Prominent entries not previously associated with Epstein include Morgan Fairchild, Suzanne Ircha, Carl Icahn, John A. Catsimatidis, Sandy Warner, and Martin Peretz.


The names of hundreds of people with previously unknown connections to Jeffrey Epstein are contained in a newly discovered address book that appears to have belonged to the late financier and sex trafficker.

Insider has obtained a never-before-seen book of contacts apparently kept by Epstein in 1997. The book sheds light on his social and financial ties, naming both new connections and tracing previously reported relationships back to the '90s.

In July 2020, Insider published a searchable database of Epstein's notorious "little black book," a document that first emerged in court proceedings in 2009 and was made public by Gawker in 2015. That address book, dated 2004-05, was a touchstone for journalists and curious individuals alike, becoming a major source of information about Epstein and his expansive network of associates, which included politicians, leading academics, celebrities, and royalty.

The newly discovered black book, dated October 1997 in a handwritten annotation, offers a snapshot into Epstein's life roughly a decade earlier. It contains 375 entries and the names of 349 people — the majority of whom do not appear in Epstein's little black book from the aughts.

It contains the names, telephone numbers, and addresses of dozens of prominent figures who have never before been associated with Epstein. Among them are Suzanne Ircha, who's married to Woody Johnson, former President Donald Trump's ambassador to England and the owner of the New York Jets; famed corporate raider and financier Carl Icahn also merits an entry, as do supermarket magnate and Trump acolyte John A. Catsimatidis; former auto-industry czar Steven Rattner; actress Morgan Fairchild; former New Republic owner Marty Peretz; and Cristina Greeven, the wife of CNN anchor Chris Cuomo.

Melania Trump's best friend

In 2019, The New York Times reported that Epstein boasted that he had introduced Donald Trump and Melania. The couple previously said they had met at a Fashion Week party at the Kit Kat Club in 1998 after Melania caught Trump's eye. In a 2016 profile of Melania, The New Yorker reported Trump's date at the party was Celina Midelfart, a Norwegian businesswoman who is listed in the newly discovered address book and has flown on Epstein's planes.

Ircha Johnson, an erstwhile actress who starred in two B movies during a hiatus from the financial sector, formerly worked as an equities saleswoman at the investment bank Sandler O'Neill. Like Epstein, she started her finance career at Bear Stearns. Her entry in Epstein's address book shows not only an apartment in midtown Manhattan but also the phone numbers of her sister and brother. Through a spokesperson Ircha Johnson declined to comment or explain why Epstein had her and her siblings' contact information.

Found on Fifth Avenue in the '90s


The new Epstein book came to light through a circuitous and unusual path: A self-described "enigmatic rock chick" living in Manhattan's East Village found it on the sidewalk in the late 1990s and sold it on eBay a quarter-century later to a perennial Communist congressional candidate in Vermont. Insider interviewed both people for this article and a forthcoming mini-documentary.

Denise Ondayko, a former musician who now lives in the Bay Area, said she was walking down Fifth Avenue in the mid-'90s when she spotted a black address book on the ground and picked it up out of curiosity. "I wasn't smart enough to figure out it was Epstein's," Ondayko told Insider. Flipping through, she found addresses and phone numbers for members of the Trump and Kennedy clans, and iconic chroniclers of wealth such as Robin Leach. She decided to hold onto it "for the odd New York City artifact that it was," she said, and slipped it into a box. Aside from occasionally showing it off to guests in her apartment, she forgot about it.

More than two decades later, in May 2020, Ondayko and a relative were cleaning out an old storage unit she had rented in Michigan when the long-buried book emerged from a box of odds and ends. Thumbing through it — and seeing the dozens of entries for Epstein's myriad properties — the relative immediately recognized who the owner was.

Convinced that she had indeed been sitting on an address book belonging to Epstein for many years, Ondayko said she reached out to John Oliver, Rachel Maddow, and The New York Times to see if it could be of use. She never heard back. She figured the book was probably just a copy of Epstein's previously published address book, she said, and listed it on eBay in early December after some friends suggested it could be worth some money. She needed new brakes for her car.

Across the country, in rural Vermont, a man named Chris Helali was Googling for a copy of Epstein's little black book when he came across Ondayko's eBay listing.

Helali, a gregarious and unfailingly polite graduate student at Dartmouth College who has repeatedly run to represent Vermont's sole congressional district on the Communist Party ticket, told Insider he was fascinated by Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful associates. "I was looking for the first book and trying to create a network, a map, of who knew Epstein," he said. "I stumbled upon an eBay seller who was claiming to have a copy of the book."

At first Helali believed Ondayko's book was simply a printout of the PDF published by Gawker in 2015. "I thought it was a scam," Helali said. But the going price was relatively modest, and his curiosity was piqued — so he contacted the seller. "As I spoke to [Ondayko] I realized that the book actually was authentic. And might've been an even earlier version because of the timeline of the story. So I purchased it and took the risk on it," he said. It cost Helali $425.

The eBay listing Ondayko created to sell the address book.


Helali lives in a whimsical farmhouse hand-built by his in-laws, and, on a snowy day in March, he invited an Insider reporter to pick up the address book for reporting. The book, locked in a cabinet amid a handful of historical artifacts collected by Helali, was still in its original FedEx packaging from Ondayko.

Bound in a thin flexible cover with a leather-like appearance, the book is small and slim enough to comfortably fit in a person's hand. There are 62 pages of typewritten entries in the book; the back of the final page contains two handwritten contacts and a handwritten date of "10.1.97." The pages are thin but in excellent condition. Dozens of names and phone numbers have been checkmarked with a black marker pen, and five have been highlighted.

As with Ondayko, Helali said that once he realized he had a new, previously unseen address book in his hands, he reached out to journalists, including Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald — whose reporting on Epstein's sweetheart deal with federal prosecutors in 2007 kicked off a new round of interest in his crimes leading up to his 2019 arrest — and Matt Goldstein of The New York Times. "They weren't interested in the story," Helali said. But Nick Bryant, the freelance reporter who brought the first address book to Gawker, reached out to Insider on Helali's behalf.

'I'm confident that the book is circa 1995 to 2000'


To verify that the book is authentic, Insider hired Dennis Ryan, a former forensic document examiner and laboratory supervisor for the Nassau County Police Department, to inspect it. Ryan concluded that the book most likely dates to the mid-'90s and has not been altered.

"I'm confident that the book is circa 1995 to 2000," Ryan told Insider. Ryan said he studied both the book's physical characteristics as well as its contents, including several entries that contained a Palm Beach area code retired in 1996.

Donald Trump was one such entry. Trump's name, which also appears in Epstein's previously known little black book, is accompanied by numerous phone numbers, including two labeled "Palm Beach Home," with the area code 407. The same phone numbers are listed under Trump's name in Epstein's later address book — bearing Palm Beach's new area code, 561.

Ryan's analysis also relied on the plastic Gestetner binding strip used to create the book. Gestetner was an office products supplier that sold the VeloBind brand of binding strips during the 1990s; the company was acquired by Ricoh Corp. of Japan in 1995, and the brand name was retired in 2007.

Several years after Ricoh's 1995 acquisition of Gestetner, Ryan said, the company discontinued the VeloBind system, making it almost impossible for the book to have been created this century. "It was certainly out of production by 1998 to 2000," Ryan told Insider. "It would be very difficult to make up a book with that imprint in later years, if that wasn't commercially available."

Another expert, who worked for VeloBind and its parent company GBC between 1982 and 1995, told Insider that it would technically be possible to bind a modern book with an original, 1990s-era strip — but the odds of finding one would be slim to none. "My recommendation would be to play the lottery, because you'd have a better chance of winning," the expert said.

In addition to seeking the opinion of a forensic examiner, Insider spoke with sources who could corroborate Ondayko and Helali's accounts. Sheila Black, a longtime friend of Ondayko's, told Insider that she recalled looking through the book in Ondayko's Manhattan apartment in the '90s. "She was interested in all the weird famous names in it," Black said. "I thought it might be a movie producer. I remember that it was a printed thing."

Black told Insider that she remembered recognizable names in the book, but like Ondayko, had no idea it belonged to Epstein, who at the time was a decade away from becoming a household name. "We were punk-rocker kids," she said. "We were suspicious of that kind of person."

While the book bears no inscription definitively identifying it as belonging to Epstein, it does contain an extraordinarily detailed directory of more than 80 phone numbers associated with the sprawling estates in Manhattan, West Palm Beach, New Mexico, and Ohio that Epstein owned in the early '90s. It includes numbers for more than a dozen vehicles, a horse stable, a bunkhouse, dedicated lines for internet modems, and phone and beeper numbers for many known Epstein staff members.

Notably missing are his Paris apartment, purchased in 2002, and his private island, Little Saint James, acquired in 1998 — both of which appear in Epstein's later address book. But the Rolodex does contain an entry for Diane Cummin — misspelled as "Diane Cummings" — then wife of financier Arch Cummin, who owned Little Saint James before its sale to Epstein. The book also lists detailed entries for Epstein's relatives, whose addresses matched residences listed in public-records searches.

Insider reached out to Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, who once stood to inherit his sibling's fortune. The younger Epstein was skeptical of the book's provenance, and, after reviewing a scanned copy, told Insider he had no idea if it was real or not. "If it is real, it was probably pilfered from Jeffrey Epstein's office," he said.

Insider also reached out to dozens of contacts listed in the book who had never previously been publicly associated with Epstein. Fourteen acknowledged on the record that they knew or had met Epstein in the '90s.

Attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein's estate did not return requests for comment.

349 people are listed in the book, 221 of whom do not appear in Epstein's previously published address book


Insider performed an analysis of the book's contents, transcribing each entry and tabulating all of them in a searchable database. The book contains entries for 349 people — 221 of whom do not appear in Epstein's previously published address book from the early aughts.

Compared to the 2000s address book, which contains 1,510 names, the 1990s book is considerably slimmer, and its occupants less global. The contacts listed are primarily based in the United States. Most are in New York, Epstein's primary city of residence; many are based in Ohio, where well-known Epstein client and billionaire Les Wexner has long lived.

More than 120 names appear in both books, including alleged coconspirators and other high-profile people previously associated with Epstein, from Ghislaine Maxwell and Alan Dershowitz to Donald Trump, whose name is highlighted on the page. The main information line for the White House — occupied at the time by Bill Clinton — is also listed as an entry.

Of the 221 names unique to the book obtained by Insider, dozens are prominent figures in the cultural and financial elite.

Insider called dozens of prominent people listed in the book

Insider reached out to 56 notable people in the book, none of whom had been publicly connected to Epstein, to further verify the book's contents and to better understand the nature of Epstein's relationships. More than a dozen told Insider they crossed paths with Epstein in the 1990s, and none disputed the accuracy of their address and phone number entries.

Cristina Greeven

Greeven, who is perhaps best known these days for being married to CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, appeared in Epstein's book as affiliated with Manhattan File, a high-society magazine she published after her father purchased it for her in 1994. The entry includes what appears to be an office address as well as a home phone number. In the 1990s, Greeven was in her 20s and known for hobnobbing with such socialites as Alex von Furstenberg and former CNN producer Pamela Gross, who appears in both black books and is now a close friend of Melania Trump.

Greeven is now the editor in chief of The Purist, a wellness website she founded. A message left with The Purist seeking comment from Greeven was returned almost immediately by Chris Cuomo, who declined to comment for the record or make Greeven available.

Fairchild, the former "Dallas" star, maintains an active Twitter account in which she frequently shares news stories tracing out Epstein's relationships with powerful Republican officials.
