A former resident of Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch has raised concerns about the property where it is suspected that at least two girls may have been killed during violent sexual encounters. Recent police activity has focused on the remote New Mexico ranch, fueling speculations about the possible existence of buried bodies on the expansive 7,500-acre estate. Following the establishment of a truth commission to investigate the events at Zorro during Epstein’s era, Ean Royal, who resided on the ranch as a teenager, expressed doubts about the likelihood of discovering any remains due to the vastness of the area.
Ean, who lived near Epstein’s residence where his father was employed for over a decade, emphasized the challenges of locating potential burial sites within the extensive property. He highlighted the sheer size of the ranch and its numerous features like roads, suggesting that hiding bodies would not have been difficult for Epstein considering the expanse of the land. Ean’s observations, shared with The Sun US, underscore the logistical difficulties in conducting a thorough search of the property, which includes various structures in addition to the main mansion.
Expressing frustration at the delayed investigative actions, Ean criticized the prior lack of thorough searches and the current efforts to rectify the situation, questioning the motives behind the recent scrutiny of the ranch. He emphasized the need for accountability and justice rather than focusing on the property itself. The scrutiny of Zorro Ranch stems from past allegations linking the site to Epstein’s illicit activities, with recent investigations prompted by new information from the Epstein Files, alleging the burial of bodies on the premises.
The property, acquired by Epstein in 1993, has faced serious allegations over the years, including claims of sexual abuse and trafficking. Recent revelations from the Epstein Files, including reports of buried bodies, have reignited interest in the ranch. The current owners, the family of real estate mogul Don Huffines, have allowed authorities access for the search. Plans to transform the ranch into a Christian retreat have been announced, reflecting a shift in the property’s future use.
