JUST IN- In March 2026, a man was driving peacefully along a Florida road when someone started shouting: "Jeffrey Epstein is alive!" They recorded it, and the video went viral. But what happened next was even stranger. The man's name is Peter Simel; he's 71 years old, a former professional tennis player, and lives in Palm Beach. His resemblance to Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019, sparked so much speculation that he ended up becoming famous as "Palm Beach Pete." Simel has repeatedly stated that he is not Epstein. He even capitalized on his unexpected fame to announce that he wants to become mayor of Palm Beach. But now he claims he traveled all the way to Israel to undergo a new DNA test that would prove he isn't him. And here's a disturbing detail: The lab he mentions, BioGenesis, lists an address on its website in Tel Aviv: 37 Kaplan Street. Exactly the same one listed as the official address of the Israeli Ministry of Defense. The coincidence is documented, but it doesn't prove any connection between the two. Nor have verifiable genetic results from that test been released. And one question remains: With what DNA sample from Epstein are they supposed to compare his?
