In the wake of Virginia Giuffre’s death on April 25, 2025, ruled a suicide by Western Australia authorities, her former attorney Bradley Edwards has publicly expressed profound doubt, stating he is “questioning everything” about the circumstances surrounding her passing.
Edwards, who represented Giuffre and other Epstein survivors for over a decade, including in landmark cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, spoke candidly in a January 2026 interview with The Miami Herald. “Virginia was a fighter, not someone who would give up,” he said, referencing her resilience in exposing Epstein’s network despite threats and smears. Giuffre, found unresponsive at her Neergabby farm, had endured years of abuse starting at 16, leading to civil settlements and her advocacy work.
The official ruling cites trauma from Epstein’s exploitation as a factor, but Edwards highlights inconsistencies: Giuffre’s 2019 public denials of suicidal ideation, her recent memoir Nobody’s Girl outlining ongoing battles, and the timing amid partial Epstein file releases. He noted parallels to Epstein’s 2019 jail death—also ruled suicide amid camera malfunctions and guard lapses—fueling conspiracy theories.
Edwards, who secured a $62 million settlement for victims in 2021, demanded an independent probe: “We need transparency—autopsy details, communications, and potential influences. Powerful people were named in her accusations; coincidence feels impossible.” He referenced Giuffre’s allegations against Prince Andrew and others, settled but never forgotten.
Survivors and advocates echo his skepticism, viewing the death as a potential silencing. With DOJ files still trickling out into 2026, Edwards’ shift from advocate to questioner underscores eroding faith in official narratives. “If Virginia couldn’t escape the shadows,” he lamented, “what hope for justice?”
His admission has reignited calls for reopened investigations, ensuring Giuffre’s legacy demands answers beyond the grave.
