AN explorer who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s “paedo” island has revealed his one unanswered question after spotting a huge wall of dirt.

Bracco, from Long Island, US, who goes by the online moniker Place Hacker, travelled to the island in August 2020 with his pal twice.
He told The Sun how they dodged armed guards as they ventured through the southern portion of the $64million, 70-acre, Caribbean tainted paradise in the US Virgin Islands.
Bracco said of the initial explorations: “So it took us almost three days of asking people endlessly to take us to the island.
“And finally, we did find someone.
“One was a pre-dawn mission, and then one was a little bit more brazen in the middle of the day, and both times we took boats up to the lowest possible water table until we had to swim the rest.
“We climbed up onto the island, and we took our time – we knew where there were roads where there were access points.
“So both times on the island we didn’t get seen, which is really good.
“Although we were still very stressed out, it allowed us to move around without having to move fast or be worried about getting captured.”
Locals warned him about teams of what are believed to be private security on the island who are armed while patrolling the roads on quad bikes and in buggies.
Bracco even described how security had apparently been “arresting or shooting” people attempting to access the island – which he said was “terrifying”.
The duo came across infamous landmarks which were all once used by Epstein and his powerful pals.
One of the most well-known structures on the island is the bizarre blue and white temple which used to have a gold dome on top before it blew away.
And, peering inside, Bracco revealed how they even spotted a spiral staircase – not knowing where it led to.

He added: “There was the temple, which we went right up to. We were able to peer into it.
“I’ve released a few photos of the inside of it where we were able to capture what looked like a staircase going down the centre, but we were unable to actually see where it led to.”
In 2024, previously unreleased pictures were made public in a document dump of young girls and women posing on the island in 2006.
The images were part of documents attached to a filing about Sarah Ransome and give an insight into what went on while Epstein was on his private island, Little St James.
Ransome, who is one of Epstein’s accusers, was not part of the legal proceedings but had a role in explaining the inner workings of the billionaire’s “massage network”.
Urban explorer Bracco saw a huge wall of dirt by the tennis court on the vile island – which he still thinks about even five years after his visit.

He said: “There’s a huge tennis court on the island – and that’s at one of the highest points,and it’s covered with like a 12ft mound of dirt all the way around.
“So there’s still speculation as to where all that dirt came from, and a lot of people do believe that it was dug out from underneath the island.”
Years after Bracco’s two visits, he and his team were on another trip when they did a lap of the island to see how it had changed.
Bracco said: “They have since painted the temple grey, I think, to dissuade people from trying to re-attempt my missions there.”
It became known as “paedo island”, “orgy island” and the “island of sin” – but the creepy paedophile affectionately dubbed it “Little Saint Jeff”.
Little Saint James is the centre of many of the allegations against Epstein and his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as conspiracy theories.
It comes after Epstein’s so-called “birthday book” was finally released.
The 238-page scrapbook, handed to Epstein in 2003 for his 50th, was published by a US congressional panel alongside his will and infamous address book.
The release of the book has already led to the downfall of British ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson, who was fired over his connections to Epstein.

Little Saint James is believed to be where much of his sexual abuse was committed and where he allegedly entertained powerful friends such as Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew.
The recent files included a creepy message from Clinton – praising praised the late paedophile for having “childlike curiosity”
Victims have claimed to have witnessed sex taking place openly on the island, such as Maxwell having “girl on girl” orgies by the pool.
Epstein victim Virginia Roberts claims she had sex with Prince Andrew once on the island – as well at Maxwell’s house in London and Epstein’s mansion in New York.
Andrew strongly denies any allegations against him and said he had no knowledge of any wrongdoing while friends with Maxwell and Epstein.
Clinton has also denied he ever spent time on the island – blasting claims earlier this year as “lies” as they resurfaced in Netflix docuseries Filthy Rich.
His office has said the former President knew “nothing about the terrible crimes “committed by Epstein and there is no evidence to suggest he is linked to the underage sex investigation.
Pictures emerged of him getting a massage from one of Epstein’s accusers on the paedo’s plane.
