Abandoned and decaying: What’s left inside Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ after years grounded?

For nearly a decade, the Boeing 727 once owned by Jeffrey Epstein has sat motionless on an outdoor slab in Brunswick, Georgia — its once-polished fuselage streaked with grime, its engines removed, its interior frozen in a kind of disquieting time capsule.

Flight logs placed an array of high-profile passengers aboard over the years, from former US president Bill Clinton to the now disgraced former Britain’s Prince Andrew.
