3500 Material Map

What Is This?

These numbers were assigned by the SDNY prosecution team to material produced to the defence in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN), under the Jencks Act and Rule 26.2 — commonly called 3500 material. 3501.XXX covers non-testifying witness material; 3502–3527 covers testifying witness material.

They are not FBI serial numbers. The FBI assigns its own serials to evidence in its case files, and those are a different numbering system applied to some of the same paper. Two sources on this page do come from FBI systems and are kept separate for that reason: the 1A/1C evidence log and the Sentinel serial report.

Nor does all of this material originate with the FBI. A substantial share of it comes from the Palm Beach Police Department investigation — incident reports, property receipts, probable-cause affidavits — along with records from the Florida DHSMV, state attorneys, and private counsel. This page maps which of that indexed material is present in the DOJ release and which is not.

Index Sources

1. NTWM Index (EFTA00095751) — 4,539 sub-document entries across 547 serial numbers under prefix 3501. Re-transcribed in September 2026 by reading all 63 page images directly, because the earlier OCR pass produced unusable text for roughly half the rows.

2. TWM Index (EFTA00021968) — 637 entries for testifying witness material, prefixes 3502–3527. Also re-transcribed from the page images in September 2026; the previous OCR pass had captured 270 of them and had missed five serials entirely.

3. 1A/1C Evidence Log (EFTA00013397) — 146 physical evidence items, shown in its own tab. DOJ released only a placeholder slipsheet for this document and withheld the native file, so the table exists solely as extracted text with no page image to check it against.

Two further documents are useful context but do not feed the counts on this page: Interviews 136 (EFTA00016612) and the Sentinel Serial Report (EFTA01688359). Every indexed item here comes from source 1 or source 2.

Resolution Method

The index itself was read from the page images. Resolution — matching an index entry to a released document — searched all ~2.9M corpus pages for FBI serial references two ways: regex matching against page text, and OCR of the secondary Bates stamp printed in the page margin.

A document is "Found" if we located it in the DOJ release. "Missing" means the FBI index lists it but it appears nowhere in the released pages.

What changed in September 2026. The previous build of this page listed 4,245 items, of which 1,998 (47%) carried no readable description because the OCR had failed on them, and some did not exist at all — sub-numbers had been generated past the end of a serial block. Re-reading both indexes removed 133 entries that are not on any page, added 1,083 that were missing, and cut entries with no readable description from 47% to almost none. No document match was lost in the rebuild.

Why It Matters

A 24% location rate means roughly three quarters of the material the prosecution indexed cannot be found in the public release. That includes victim interviews, photographs, financial records, and investigative notes that the FBI cataloged but never produced.
