A formerItalianmodel who was one of the first women to accuseJeffrey Epsteinof sexual misconduct has vanished inNew York.
Elisabetta Tai Ferretto, 50, from Montagnana, northern Italy, has not been heard from since April 22 after returning to the United States.
Elisabetta, who has lived in New York since 2001, had travelled back to the Veneto region at the start of April to visit her parents and brother.
But after returning to Manhattan, her daily contact with her family suddenly stopped.
Relatives saidphonecalls now go unanswered and hersocial mediaprofiles appear to have been deactivated or deleted.
Her family reported her missing to prosecutors in Rovigo, who opened a file because she is an Italian citizen abroad.
The case has also been passed to Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has activated diplomatic channels with US authorities.
American officials are now understood to be investigating, but Elisabetta has still not been found.
The former model worked in fashion after moving to the United States and later moved into the New York real estate sector.
Her name emerged publicly in 2019 when she spoke about an alleged encounter with Epstein that she said took place in 2004.
