Suicide Killers: Kavanaugh Ruling Meets Epstein Ties as FBI’s Child Abduction and Serial Killer Unit Part of Investigation
Attorney John H. Clarke has been raising urgent questions about a pattern of controversial federal investigations—linking the 1993 death of Vince Foster to the legal saga of Jeffrey Epstein, with one name at the center: Kenneth Starr and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. At one point, Clarke sat in on meeting that included Kavanaugh and the latter was visibly shaken.
- The Foster investigation was mishandled and prematurely closed—dissenting witnesses were marginalized and intimidated, Attorney says
- The role of Starr and Kavanaugh in shaping the official narrative of Foster’s death is suspect, Attorney says
- Why was an FBI unit focused on child abduction and serial killers involved in a “suicide” case? Attorney wants answers
- Starr’s involvement in Epstein’s legal defense and what it suggests in retrospect, Attorney wants answers
- Whether these cases point to a broader pattern of institutional failure or protection
Attorney Clarke, who represented key Foster witness Patrick Knowlton, has long challenged the official ruling that Foster died by suicide. Knowlton, present in the park the day Foster’s body was discovered, directly contradicted elements of the government’s timeline and findings—putting him at odds with Starr’s Office of Independent Counsel, which ultimately concluded Foster’s death was self-inflicted. Leading that investigation under Starr was none other than current Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Attorney Smells Fish
Clarke argues the Foster case was not just flawed, but emblematic of a broader failure of accountability. Among the most troubling revelations: an official FBI document that surfaced years later bearing the header “Child Abduction and Serial Killer Unit” with the subject line, “Questions for a Suicide Expert – Vince Foster Death Investigation.” Clarke says the existence of such a document raises profound questions about what investigators were considering behind the scenes—and why.
Fast forward more than a decade, and Starr re-emerges in another explosive case: Epstein. Starr was tied to Epstein’s legal orbit during the controversial 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida and later served on Epstein’s defense team in 2019, advocating for his release after federal sex trafficking charges were filed. To Clarke, the overlap is deeply concerning.
Clarke brings decades of legal experience and firsthand involvement in one of Washington’s most disputed cases. As new scrutiny continues to surround Epstein and long-standing questions persist about Foster, he offers a rare, insider perspective on two cases that continue to fuel debate—and demand answers.
