This weekend, hopefully in lieu of further executions being carried out by ICE or DHS agents, DOJ dropped a few million more Epstein/Maxwell documents. There are sickening themes of trafficking, rape and “disappearing”of victims. These are allegations. But to those of us even vaguely acquainted with allegations in the N. Fox Island case, as well as the OCCK cases, they are grotesquely familiar.
Some especially disturbing documents were posted this morning by DOJ, then taken down, then reposted. This Substack post today by Krassenstein is instructive:
As a reader pointed out two weeks ago, allegations in the Epstein files link to Michigan. The allegations are as follows. In 1984, a 13-year-old victim of trafficking (including Epstein and Trump) became pregnant. Her uncle murdered her baby girl and disposed of the newborn in Lake Michigan from a yacht that originated from Mona Lake, Michigan. Trump is alleged to have been present when the newborn was dumped.

A decade later, Epstein and Maxwell are alleged to have found their first victim together–also a 13-year-old girl–who was attending Interlochen Center for the Arts in northern Michigan. She was attending summer camp there and lived in Florida.
And why wouldn’t there be links to Michigan, with its dark history of covering up and ignoring organized pedophilia dating back probably at least a century? The state and federal government has covered up Frank Shelden’s organized pedophilia and CSAM operation for over 60 years. And that shit started before Shelden upped his game and had an airstrip installed soon after he bought the island in 1960.
He had a boat driver out of Charlevoix and he had a ship-to-shore radio on that island. I’m sure that expensive piece of equipment was as much to ensure his campers’ captivity as it was to call up his boat driver or get news of client arrivals.
**For more on Epstein and Trump, watch this YouTube video “IT WAS PURE HORROR” with accuser Beatrice Keul that dropped today.
I intended to circle back today for a little more examination into the elusive H. Lee Busch family. But these Epstein files and corroborating stories are an ongoing reminder that in these kinds of cases if this is what they’re letting us see, god only knows what has been shredded and ditched. “My friends will get hurt” if the files are released, Trump told Marjorie Taylor Greene. Yeah right. No they won’t, you’ll see to that.
His friends, like those of Frank Shelden, politicians and law enforcement in Michigan since long before 1976, are all going to be protected from disclosure. You will want to tell yourself these accusers are making things up, rather than acknowledge that there is virtually no line that men like these will not cross. Because they can. Because they can afford to make it go away. Because there are weak politicians and law enforcement who will look the other way for enough money or “in-kind” arrangements.
As Sarah Kendzior wrote today on Substack, there are some levels of infamy that can induce real fear even among the monied and powerful. “There are very few taboos that cause this fear. Those universal taboos are pedophilia, child murder, and incest.”
Every freak who commits any one of these crimes would do anything to avoid being so tagged, let alone caught, and that’s why the evidence destruction, lies and destroying the reputation of survivors become paramount. It’s part of what they buy if they can afford a whitewashing. A package deal.
Those that can’t end up like Richard Lawson, Ted Lamborgine and Arch Sloan. Their names don’t get redacted and no one believes their lies. Yet they are no different at their cores than the disgusting toads who had enough money and the reputational veneer to run with Epstein and get away with it.

Just a few more things from the archives of the Leelanau Enterprise (a very chatty local newspaper) that *very* loosely link Epstein and Shelden in Michigan:
During the mid-1960s into the early 1970s, Shelden was a very frequent guest of George Firestone Grosvenor and his family in Leland (40 miles northwest of Traverse City). Grosvenor was the captain of a boat that carried freight, mail and passengers between Leland and the Manitou and Fox Islands.
The paper reported several occasions in which Grosvenor’s sons, David and Michael, spent a day or two with Shelden on North Fox Island. These trips took place in the early 1970s, after the airstrip was constructed. None of the articles states the ages of the sons, but it is most likely they were pre-teens.
Grosvenor also had a daughter, Mary, whom Shelden also took on the occasional solo trip to North Fox Island. Mary was an accomplished pianist and vocalist. As a high school student she had won summer scholarships in 1966 and 1967 to the National Music Camp at Interlochen. After her high school graduation, she enrolled in the Interlochen Ats Academy and graduated in 1970.
Jeffrey Epstein also attended Interlochen the summer of 1967.
Just found this interesting—that’s all.
I like these smaller local newspapers that dive a little deeper into the details. Your comment reminded me of 2 things I found in the past. Not about Epstein though.
First, the June 28, 1970 Ann Arbor News describes the wedding in Ann Arbor of Donald Edward Spinniken and Jane Louise Jump. Best man was Michael Grosvenor. Ushers included Frank Shelden of Ann Arbor. After a wedding trip to North Fox Island, the newlyweds will reside in Lake Leelanau.
Second, your comment about George Grosvenor being the captain of a boat that carried freight, mail and passengers between Leland and the Manitou and Fox Islands is quite the coincidence. I also ran across a person of interest in the OCCK case that did the same thing.
Robert Handyside owned a house in Detroit and was investigated as a roommate and associate of Ronald Baily and John Azzopardi. They all were known to frequent the Gas Station Bar.
Handyside’s obituary states, “He sailed the lakes until he got the coolest job in the world driving the mailboat J.W. Westcott on the Detroit River delivering mail, freight and people to freighters (jwwestcott.com).”
His mailboat also picked up and delivered laundry to all ships in addition to mail. Remember the Allen letter: “You know he brings them in stuffed clothes hamper no one here knows the difference.”
His father also had the same job before him.
Shelden also stayed the night at the Grosvenor house many times. So many times that I have several notebook pages filled with his visits and overnight stays. I write big, but still!
His stays with the Grosvenors started in the mid-1960s. He attended their wedding anniversary parties, birthday parties, he picked other family members up in Ann Arbor (maybe Kalamazoo, too?) many times to travel north.
He was an overnight guest with the guy who lived on South Fox Island once. I think his last name was Dillon. He’s the guy who died in a plane crash on South Fox.
He took the Grosvenor’s it west, he took their son to Honduras, he took that son (an adult at the time) and his wife out west.
I mean, Frank Effin Shelden was IN with that family throughout the 60s and 70s.
And yet, FDS was also running his pedo game in Charlevoix at the same time time!
I found a match book for sale on EBay for his Denver Mining Co with his name on it.
I can’t find any business in Denver or CO with that name but I found a bar/restaurant in Los Angeles with the same name.
I found Arthur Banda (FDS’s friend named in the files for being a board member or LLC filer for one of the fake non-profits) and how Banda painted Navy ships and got some award from the Navy for all his artwork. There is an article about an Arthur Banda being arrested for sexual assault in 29 Palm, CA but I can’t determine if it’s THAT Arthur Banda for sure. The Banda who was arrested was a civilian employee of 29 Palms and I can’t see FDS’s Arthur Banda being an employee who punches a clock.
I’m sure everyone already knows this bc they’ve read all the books and footnotes.
For me, it’s all new. I’ve only been creeping FDS for a couple of years.
Frank Shelden was in more weddings than my friends and I combined. And I’ve been in a lot of weddings.
