Flight logs and testimony documented visits by prominent public figures, scientists, politicians, and celebrities. The names that appear in published records represent a fraction of total visitor history.
What Visibility from Visit Proves
Presence at Little St. James, by itself, proves nothing about participation in or knowledge of trafficking. Context matters: who visited, under what circumstances, and what they observed or participated in.
