Lady Victoria Hervey told LBC's Tom Swarbrick that she believes it's a "possibility" that Epstein could be alive somewhere.
"I don't even think Jeffrey Epstein's dead anymore, to be honest," she told Tom, who pressed the former socialite on her suggestion - and to clarify her point.
"No, I don't," she insisted, doubling down on her assertion that the convicted paedophile was alive - and possibly in Israel.
The paedophile's death in 2019 has long been the source of conspiracy theories online, with many believing that he didn't die by suicide.
Andrew continues to maintain his innocence and has long denied any of the allegations against him.

An anonymous post shared on 4Chan shortly before Epstein's death was publicly announced claimed that he had been "switched out" and implied that he had been taken away by a "trip van". The poster said that they were a guard at the prison.
The former prince's ex-girlfriend refers to an email released in the latest tranche of Epstein files that names the poster and confirms that it was a prison guard.
Lady Hervey told Tom Swarbrick: "I think, just, I'd seen one of those emails, one of the ones that ended up in the files, and I think that prison guard needs to be interviewed. The one that he said he saw the bodies being switched out."
When pressed by Tom Swarbrick on where he could be, she said: "Israel".
Lady Hervey is named in the Epstein files 23 times.
She told Tom Swarbrick that if you weren't named in the Epstein files, then that would be an "insult" and you were "a bit of a loser".
Lady Hervey said: "He knew everybody that was very powerful.
"So, like, if you were on the scene and you were powerful, to be honest, if you're not in those files, it would be an insult because it just means that you were a bit of a loser."
It comes as police searched two addressees linked to former US ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson on Friday, in relation to his links to Epstein, the Met has confirmed.
The two addresses are said to be located in Wiltshire and Camden, north London, and form party of a misconduct in public office investigation.
Images emerged on Friday showing two officers arriving at Lord Mandelson's Camden address, close to Regent's Park, with files in hand, moments before both appeared to enter the property.
