Another "model scout" who worked for Jeffrey Epstein found dead in Paris. Daniel Siad had been implicated in sex crimes by French prosecutors and was in the Epstein files 2090 times. He is the second model scout for Epstein found dead.

Jean Luc Brunel, whose estate is being sued by a CA woman, was found hanging in his cell in Feb. 2022. He had been arrested at the city’s Charles de Gaulle airport while he was trying to board a plane to Dakar, Senegal in December 2020 and charged with rape of minors over the age of 15 and sexual harassment.

Yet another coast-to-coast connected crime story.

Fischer first sexually attacked a woman in Mass. while aboard his boat The Dream Maker in 1996 while he was a Brown University Medical School Professor and worked at a hospital.

Then in 2005 he attacked another woman while aboard his boat The Lion King docked in Portsmouth, just outside of Newport, RI. While on trial, he fled.

Rhode Island Fugitive Task Force finds out about a guy named Dr. Richard Grayon who is the Chief Medical Officer of a westside drug company in LA. Naturally, he owns yet another boat, The Silver Lining.

Which we boarded by US Marshals and US Coast Guard sailing off the coast of New Jersey about a mile from shore.

All the details here:

@Hulabin1 My dms are open

Longtime fugitive Dr. Ronald Fischer was convicted of a sexual assault in Massachusetts. In that 1996 case, he attacked a woman on his boat The Dreammaker in 1996 while it was docked in Quincy.

His sentence? Wait for it...
Two-and-a-half-year suspended sentence and five years’ probation. So no jail time.

By 2005, this now convicted sex pest had a new boat. The Lion King. And was hanging in the loftier marinas around Newport, Rhode island. That's where yet another first degree sexual assault charge comes. While on trial in Newport, he flees. The feds find "literature on how individuals could change identities and disappear."

Which is exactly what he did. Fast forward to 2026. New name. And, naturally, a new boat. The Silver Lining, which was registered to "Dr. Richard Graydon" who happened to be the Chief Medical Officer at L.A.'s Immex Biopharma located in Sawtelle on the city's westside.

Now Dr. Ronald Fischer aka Dr Richard Graydon is in custody after the bad asses on the Rhode Island Fugitive Task Force boarded his 56-foot sailboat and took the "master yachtsman" and convicted rapist into custody.

More to come on this crazy saga @LAmag
