Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted for recruiting underage girls to be sexually abused by the late billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, has formed a new friendship in jail, the Mirror reported.
The former British socialite spends hours “talking, laughing and joking” with one of the most notorious double murderers in America, Narcy Novack, according to cited insiders.
Maxwell was found guilty on five counts, including sex-trafficking of a minor, by a federal jury in Manhattan on 29 December 2021 and sentenced to 20 years behind bars. At Tallahassee jail in the east of Florida’s state capital, 60-year-old Maxwell, aka Inmate 02879-509, ‘gravitated’ to 65-year-old Novack.

“Because of her length of time inside and the brutality of her crime, she is treated like a female Don. All the younger girls address her as ‘Miss Novack’ out of respect. Ghislaine will have a modicum of protection through her friendship, but given their ages and millionaire backgrounds, they were always destined to get on well,” sources stated.
Tallahassee is categorized as a low-security prison that offers a range of courses and work placements for inmates, including gardening, baking, cooking, and housekeeping. Inmates may also engage in pursuits such as yoga, pilates, weights, softball and Frisbee.
X-Rated Double Murderer
Ecuador-born Narcisa Cira Veliz Pacheco, also known as Narcy, is a feared figure among inmates, claims the report. The woman met multi-millionaire hotelier playboy Ben Novak Jr when she was a stripper in Florida working under the name of Sylvia. Coming from a background of poverty and struggles, the woman had been trying to work her way up in US society by climbing from one rich lover to a richer and even more influential one.
Narcy married Ben Novak Jr in 1991, to the grave disapproval of his mother. Bernice was the widow of Ben Novack Sr, owner of the legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel. After the wedding, Narcy embraced the role of a typical "trophy wife", dripping in jewelry and living in a £2.4Mln home.
Years later, Narcy masterminded the brutal murder of her husband, 52, and mother-in-law, 86, telling her trial afterwards that she was motivated by jealousy.
During the X-rated dancer’s trial, it emerged that her husband had engaged in an affair with porn actress Rebecca Bliss. When Narcy found out her husband was cheating on her, she initially attempted to pay off the porn star.
Then, motivated by the fact that their prenuptial agreement meant she would be entitled to only £55,000, rather than her husband’s £8.5Mln fortune, Novack hatched a plot to kill him.
Ben Novak Jr and his mother, Bernice, were killed three months apart by hitmen hired by Narcy Novack. Her brother, Cristobal Veliz, was also involved in the plot.
First, Bernice was discovered dead in a pool of blood on 5 April 2009, at her Fort Lauderdale home. Initially, it was ruled she died from a fall, but the case was later reopened. Investigators determined that the woman had been battered to death with a monkey wrench.
Then Narcy Novack hired two hitmen to get rid of her husband. Alejandro Garcia and Joel Gonzales, who confessed to the deed in 2010, revealed at Narcy’s trial how she let them inside the couple’s suite on 12 July 2009. They bound Ben Novak Jr with duct tape and attacked him with dumbbells while he was asleep. In a brutal twist, Narcy ordered the men to gouge out his eyes with a knife so he could "never look at a woman".
Co-operating with police in exchange for lighter sentences, the pair of killers led the investigators to Novack and her brother.
Assistant US Attorney Elliot Jacobson was cited later as calling Narcy Novack and her brother as “pathological liars” and “extraordinarily dangerous sociopaths". Narcy Novack testified at the trial that she had been driven by jealousy.
“If I can’t have him, no one will,” she said of her cheating murdered husband.
