[GRADE A1 — CBP TECS border crossing records (U.S. government records)]
The CBP border crossing records in the Neo4j graph contain 363 events from the cbp-records source dataset, spanning 1992 to 2014. These records document Epstein's border crossings, including air travel, and provide a partial map of his movement patterns.
Aircraft registration N909JE — documented as one of Epstein's planes — appears in multiple CBP records:
| Date | Record Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2006-10-17 | CBP inspection | N909JE documented |
| 2006-11-01 | CBP inspection | N909JE documented |
| 2010-09-12 | CBP inspection | N909JE documented |
The October 2006 records are notable because they fall during the period of the PBPD investigation (2005-2006) — Epstein was actively traveling by private aircraft while under law enforcement investigation in Palm Beach.
The CBP records document three crossing types:
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| INS AIR | Immigration and Naturalization Service — air crossing |
| INS API | Immigration — Advance Passenger Information |
| CUS API | Customs — Advance Passenger Information |
The 363 events span from 1992 to 2014. Notable documented travel dates include:
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 2010-08-13 | CBP border crossing recorded |
| 2014-04-28 | CBP border crossing recorded |
The 1992-2014 range means the CBP records predate Epstein's 2008 conviction by 16 years and extend 6 years past it. The 2014 endpoint indicates that the available CBP records do not cover Epstein's final five years before his 2019 arrest.
The CBP border records provide an objective, government-generated timeline of Epstein's international movements. The 363 events across 22 years establish a pattern of frequent international travel. The N909JE aircraft records confirm private aviation use documented in government inspection records. The October 2006 travel while under PBPD investigation demonstrates that the investigation did not curtail Epstein's movement.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: CBP records document 363 border crossings spanning 1992-2014, including private aircraft N909JE inspections. The records establish a pattern of international movement and confirm private aviation use. They do NOT document the purpose of travel, the identities of passengers (beyond Epstein), or the activities conducted at destinations. CBP records capture the fact of border crossing, not the intent. The 2014 endpoint means five years of travel preceding arrest are not covered in the available CBP data.
