The name of a young German model who vanished without a trace in 2015 has appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files, raising fresh and disturbing questions about whether she was targeted by the convicted sex offender’s network.
The woman, identified only as “Michele” at her family’s request, was 22 years old when she left her mother’s home in Germany in early September 2015 with a suitcase.
She has not been heard from since.
Michele’s name emerged in emails contained in the Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The emails involve Daniel Siad, a Swedish-French modeling scout who appears extensively in the documents, more than 1,000 times in some batches.
According to a report from Speigel International, her family only recently learned that her name appears multiple times in U.S. Department of Justice documents connected to Epstein.
In 2014, one year before Michele disappeared, Siad sent Epstein photos of the young German woman.
In one message, he referred to her as “the girl you missed from Germany” and wrote, “You will love her.”
According to reporting by Der Spiegel, Michele had met Siad in Dubai in 2012. She allegedly worked for him as an escort. Siad positioned himself in communications with Epstein as someone who recruited or “caught” young women across Europe for the financier.
Michele had dreams of becoming a famous model and frequently traveled internationally.
According to her family, it was not unusual for her to leave suddenly.
In early September 2015, she told relatives she was heading out but provided no details about where she was going or when she would return.
German authorities treated the case as a standard missing-person report at the time, but did not launch a major investigation.
Nearly 11 years later, Michele would be 33.
Her mother, Annett, told investigators from Der Spiegel and German public broadcaster ZDF that she now fears the worst.
“I think she’s no longer alive,” Annett said. “That something was done to her.”
Her father has expressed hope for answers while urging German police to reopen and expand the investigation.
Siad has come under increasing legal pressure in Europe. He is currently under investigation in France for human trafficking and related allegations.
Multiple women have accused him of grooming and procuring them for Epstein or his associates, even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Siad has denied any wrongdoing. He has claimed his interactions were professional.
The Daily Mail reports:
An ex-partner of Michele’s said that Siad would constantly call her and verbally abuse her: ‘She was constantly getting calls. Sometimes she was loudly insulted.
‘I had the impression that she was under a lot of pressure.’
After years of this, Michele appeared to be fed up with how poorly she was being treated.
She tried going into rehab back home in Germany. In the evenings, Vlado said he and his daughter would sit in the garden, barbecue and talk about Michele’s future: ‘We agreed: when I got back from vacation, we’d look for an apartment for her. And a real job.’
But this never materialised. In August 2015, shortly before she disappeared, the young woman spent several days with her mother.
And without warning, she disappeared.
Siad did not respond to Der Spiegel’s requests for comment.
