It has been more than three years since I posted: Where is Ghislaine Maxwell? Jeffrey Epstein's Partner in Crime. Three years and she was right in the USA all the time. What took so long to find her? Did the FBI really want to find her? Her hideout is featured below!

The FBI arrested Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time friend Ghislaine Maxwell in New Hampshire on charges of conspiring with him to sexually abuse children and perjury.
The arrest comes just days before the anniversary of Epstein’s arrest on child sex traffic charges. Epstein, 66, killed himself in a federal jail last August.
Epstein was a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, as well as of Britain’s Prince Andrew.
The FBI arrested Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time friend Ghislaine Maxwell in New Hampshire on Thursday on federal charges of conspiring with him to sexually abuse children as young as 14, and for lying about her alleged conduct as his procurer.
The arrest of the wealthy British socialite following a six-count criminal indictment issued Monday in Manhattan federal court comes just days before the first anniversary of the now-dead Epstein’s arrest on child sex trafficking charges.
A federal magistrate judge during a hearing Thursday afternoon ordered that Maxwell be sent to Manhattan in the custody of U.S. marshal to face the charges, to have another judge deterimine whether to grant her bail.
Prosecutors are asking the 58-year-old Maxwell be held without bail, and also said they are continuing to investigate the case.
Maxwell is “an extreme flight risk,” who faces the prospect of serving “many years in prison,” prosecutors said in a court filing.
No kidding! I'm amazed that she was still in the USA.
That filing also noted that Maxwell, the (youngest) daughter of the late crooked media mogul Robert Maxwell, has extensive international connections, citizenship in Britain and France, passports from the U.S., United Kingdom and France, and large sums of money,
Epstein, a 66-year-old financier and convicted sex offender who was a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and of Britain’s Prince Andrew, killed himself in a federal jail in Manhattan last August after being denied bail, authorities have said.
If Maxwell also is denied bail, she could be housed in that same jail where Epstein died after being sent to New York to face charges.
That will be convenient!
So, Where was Ghislaine Maxwell?

GHISLAINE Maxwell was arrested by the FBI on Thursday morning at a pricey New Hampshire pad which she bought seven months ago, it has been revealed.
Maxwell secretly purchased the $1million estate called Tuckedaway near Bradford.

The "gorgeous" property, described by William Sweeney, assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York office, was purchased in December by a company called Granite Realty LLC.
The former owner told The Sun on Thursday the "beautiful" house is set back from the road in a secluded woodland area.
"It was and is a lovely place, I didn't have any neighbors, that's kind of the point," he said. "I imagine that was of interest to the current owner."
Asked if he was aware Ghislaine, 58, was living at the property, he admitted: "I was not until this morning, I've had a lot of calls.
"I never met her or knew her name. The only person involved on behalf of the buyers was an attorney who was a member of the LLC. I'm surprised I will say."

The four bed four bath property is located on 156 acres, and is described as "an amazing retreat for the nature lover who also wants total privacy," according to a real estate listing.
Maxwell was taken into custody by FBI agents and NYPD detectives around 8.30am on Thursday on charges that she helped find young girls for Epstein.
In a press conference, Sweeney said: "We have been discreetly keeping tabs on Maxwell's whereabouts as we worked this investigation and more recently we learned she had slithered away to a gorgeous property in New Hampshire, continuing to live a life of privilege while her victims lived with the trauma inflicted upon them years ago."
He added: "We moved when we were ready."
Epstein, 66, committed suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York last summer while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

For years, Maxwell has been accused by many women of recruiting them to give Epstein massages, during which they were pressured into sex.
Until now, the accusations never resulted in criminal charges.
The home's former owner said he's hopeful justice will be served in Maxwell's case, adding: "I'm all for that. I've been reading the newspapers."
A neighbor told DailyMail.com he had left for work before the FBI arrived at the home, but noticed two "small planes buzzing the area" around 6am.
Federal authorities tracked her down to the stunning abode, photos of which show the home features a lot of natural light.
"From the covered front porch, enter the great room with a floor to ceiling fieldstone fireplace, cathedral ceiling, and a spectacular chandelier, a wall of glass frames a stunning southwestern view beyond the stone patio," the listing for the property reads, adding "the materials and craftsmanship are the finest."

The listing boasts the property's location as 90 minutes from Boston, Massachusetts, close to where her rumored boyfriend Scott Borgerson resides.
Where was she before 'TuckedAway"?
She was believed to be living with Borgerson, CEO CargoMetrics Technologies, at his $3million oceanfront mansion in Manchester-by-the-Sea (about 20 miles northeast of Boston, Mass.) before vanishing last year.
Why did she stay in the USA? She could have travelled anywhere in the world. Did she believe the FBI would never arrest her? If so, she could potentially blow this case wide open in retaliation. Or, she could commit suicide with a little help from her friends, like Epstein, or, possibly, her father who drowned in 1991 having fallen off his yacht.
Her new home features "massive perennial gardens and waterfall," in addition to a den, large dining area, along with a partially finished basement.
Maxwell's six-count indictment made public on Thursday shows Maxwell has been charged with conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, and conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
She's also been charged with transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and two counts of perjury.
