An associate of the alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein who ran a modeling empire is now a “ghost who has disappeared without a trace,” according to investigators who are interested in speaking to him.

Jean-Luc Brunel, 72, was a member of Epstein’s inner circle and ran an international modeling agency. Some have alleged that Brunel used his connections in the agency to gain closer access to young women and “recruit” them into Epstein’s sex trafficking circle.
