A judge told prosecutors Wednesday to look further as to how the footage disappeared.

Epstein’s cellmate at the time Nick Tartaglione, who was awaiting trial for four counts of murder, had formally requested that video be preserved two days after the suicide attempt as evidence.

‘I don’t know the details of how it was lost or destroyed or why it wasn’t retained when it should have been,’ Tartaglione’s lawyer Bruce Barket said Wednesday.

On Thursday upon the discovery of the footage, he said, ‘We look forward to seeing it.’

Tartaglione, a former cop, was accused of attacking Epstein the night of July 23. But he claimed he tried to save Epstein from his suicide attempt.

‘We want to be sure that all the evidence is preserved to show that Nick behaved appropriately and even admirably that evening,’ Barket said in court in Wednesday,

‘We asked for all the video and photographic evidence to be preserved, specifically this surveillance video. Now it’s gone,’ he added.

Barket noted that Tartgalione has still not been questioned about Epstein’s suicide.

Maurene Comey was also involved in the P. Diddy case where he was not charged with any of the sex trafficking charges against him.
