Former Epstein prison guard says her life was upended by conspiracy theories and threats after his death
"I thought that I would be able to privately rebuild my life and career. Instead, I have consistently been the subject of threats to my life, conspiracy theories, and outrageous rumors, impacting my mental and physical health," Noel said, according to the transcript. "I have received threats from strangers. I have witnessed strangers pontificate about whether I'm a murderer or that I'll end up dead. I am consistently harassed at my residence, place of employment, in emails, and on the phone. Every few weeks, there's a new article based on a new theory with little to no factual basis."
The conspiracy theories flared up earlier this year when documents released by the Department of Justice included materials from Noel's criminal case, including the internet searches she made that night and a series of financial transactions flagged by her bank as suspicious.
Asked about a browsing history showing that she searched "latest on Epstein in jail" less than an hour before he was found dead, Noel said she was shopping for furniture online and was curious about one of the inmates under her supervision.
"Like, if I see it on the homepage, I click on it and read it. But as far as performing a physical search, I don't recall doing that," she said, according to the transcript.
Most of the deposits to her bank account predated Epstein's arrest. One came 10 days before his death.
Asked about those transactions, Noel said she deposited the money herself.
"The source of the money that, as I mentioned earlier, has nothing do with Epstein, anyone related to Epstein, involved with Epstein. No one has ever approached, offered, asked. Anything that's concerning my money has nothing to go with Epstein at all. It's solely me and my personal savings," she said.
Noel also denied knowing anything about an unexplained brief flash of orange seen on the surveillance camera near Epstein's cell the night before he was found dead.
The nature of the orange flash remains a mystery to this day, and Noel said the timing of the orange flash does not align with when she did her count that night.
"To be very honest, I don't know what it is, who it is. Because I never went back to the tier, and I was never carrying anything orange at all, and I never issued anything orange to anyone in the SHU -- not just only Epstein, just anyone," she said, according to the transcript.
Acknowledging the mistakes she made that night when Epstein died, Noel implored lawmakers that she would like to move on and no longer be associated with the disgraced sex offender.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
