DALLAS, TX—Undercover field officers, in an ongoing investigation have confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attended Stonebriar Church in Frisco, Texas, back in 2018. They were surveilled along with two accomplices—known as Kevin and Bri—who are suspected of facilitating sex trafficking under the guise of “adoption ministries.” These operatives frequented the church and introduced themselves as affiliated with the humanitarian organization War Child, while offering suspicious “finder’s fees” tied to adoption arrangements.
Undercover field officers, working in association with the U.S. Attorney General’s office and the FBI’s New York Division, actively monitored the group. Their persistence ultimately contributed to arrests that have since held some traffickers accountable.
Suspects #1, #2, #3, and #4 are identified in this cell phone photo taken at Stonebriar Church at the close of a service during the time period the suspects were seen at the church.
Swift news was circulating across investigative circles of multiple church visitors known as “Suspects #1–4” entering and leaving the building—sometimes in pairs, sometimes alone.
While there is no official public record confirming Maxwell’s presence at Stonebriar Church, sources close to the investigation note that federal agents were in attendance and observing her movements, and that there are indeed law-enforcement records acknowledging what witnesses saw, even if those records have not been made public.
“I saw her with my own eyes. I recognized her. I know she was there,” recalls Victoria Cameron, a then Stonebriar church choir member and child trafficking survivor of the international trafficking organization associated with Maxwell.
Cameron worked with field officers at Stonebriar Church as a child trafficking survivor to aid them with their undercover investigation. Her role was to assist investigators with identifying members of the network, including Maxwell and Epstein, and to help shed light on how they were operating in the church community based on her own experiences with them. She was not under investigation herself, and was never a participant in trafficking like other former victims of the same trafficking ring who assisted federal officers with other linked investigations.
Some individuals at the church reportedly handed over children to members of the group in exchange for envelopes of money. These “transactions” were casually compared—subjects even remarked on whether the payments were larger or smaller than previous ones. Hidden cameras and consistent surveillance helped piece together this pattern of grooming shepherded by an organized network.
According to witnesses at the church, Epstein and Maxwell spoke about having an employee use credit cards with their names on them in a different city, so it looked like they were in a completely different city and a completely different state, when they were in Dallas, TX, visiting Stonebriar Church. They reportedly said this method works for them all the time and creates a paper trail that makes it impossible for anyone to trace.

Federal officers monitoring the situation confirmed the importance of due process. As one explained privately at the time:
“I can know as an officer that a crime is being committed, but as an officer I have to follow due process in the law to prove what I suspect.”
In the months that followed, information gathered in this investigation contributed to the arrests and prosecutions of Epstein and Maxwell.
The investigation at Stonebriar Church originated in New York, where Maxwell had a residence, then extended to Dallas as agents tracked her across state lines. Interestingly, she attended Stonebriar Church, founded by Chuck Swindoll, a Texas megachurch with international reach—even though it appeared at first glance that she had no prior personal connections in the congregation.
Carla White, a licensed psychologist with experience in judicial rehabilitation, suggested that Maxwell’s presence at Stonebriar Church may have been part of an effort to reinvent herself and appear to be starting over. White noted that individuals attempting to reshape their public image—often under legal or personal pressure—sometimes seek out new community environments where they are not known. If that was the case here, Maxwell’s attempt to present herself as someone who had “turned over a new leaf” through church involvement was unsuccessful and, in White’s view, only caused greater harm. Instead of finding redemption, her presence allegedly resulted in producing more victims.
Maxwell’s attempt to mask herself in Christian communities did not last. In 2022, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in Epstein’s trafficking ring — a stark reminder that even the most hidden crimes eventually come to light.
Despite outreach to Stonebriar Church leadership for comment on this investigation, no response was received.
