Remember when the surveillance footage outside the cell of Jeffrey Epstein during his first alleged suicide attempt at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center went missing? Apparently, it has been destroyed.

According to the New York Post, prosecutors discovered that the July 22 and 23 footage from the jail where Epstein attempted to hang himself has been destroyed. The surveillance footage was requested by Nick Tartaglione, Epstein's cellmate and accused quadruple murderer, who believes the video will prove that he "acted admirably" in trying to save Epstein.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maurene Comey and Jason Swergold filed the letter that announced the unusual occurrence.
