Recent revelations from the Epstein files have brought to light troubling accusations, including claims of bodies buried on the premises of a property owned by the convicted sex offender.
An investigation was launched this week at Jeffrey Epstein’s expansive 8,000-acre estate in New Mexico, known as ‘Zorro Ranch’, following directives from the New Mexico attorney general, Raúl Torrez. The search was prompted by new information disclosed in the files, which included reports of bodies possibly located at the estate.
The origins of these allegations trace back to 2019 when Eddy Aragon, a radio host and former mayoral candidate, received an anonymous email alleging that ‘two foreign girls’ were buried on the outskirts of the Zorro property under Epstein’s instructions.
The anonymous sender, claiming to be a former ranch staff member, described the deaths as occurring during rough, fetish sex leading to strangulation. Aragon forwarded the email to the FBI, and it was subsequently included in the extensive documents made public in the Epstein files.
Zorro Ranch, situated in the arid landscape south of Santa Fe, has been frequently mentioned in the documents and has been linked to Epstein’s illicit activities involving sexual abuse and trafficking. Speculation has circulated for years about Epstein utilizing the remote property to conceal his child sex-trafficking endeavors. Unverified reports suggest that Epstein had discussed plans to impregnate multiple women at the ranch as part of his fixation on eugenics and the creation of genetically ‘superior’ offspring.
Several witnesses, both male and female, have come forward alleging that Epstein used the secluded ranch for nonconsensual medical procedures to further his purported interest in selective breeding.
New Mexico State Representative Andrea Romero highlighted instances where individuals claimed they were drugged, had reproductive organs and sperm extracted without consent, and woke up disoriented in the presence of medical equipment, unsure of their circumstances.
Epstein acquired the ranch from the family of former New Mexico governor Bruce King in 1993. Subsequently, the property was sold by Epstein’s estate in 2023.
Former Texas state Senator Don Huffines is the current owner of Zorro Ranch, having purchased it from the Epstein estate in 2023. He pledged the proceeds from the sale to Epstein’s victims and expressed willingness to cooperate with law enforcement, although concerns have been raised about potential loss of crucial physical evidence due to the change in ownership and the passage of time.
A task force named the ‘Epstein Truth Commission’ was established on Tuesday, collaborating with the State Attorney General Torrez’s office to probe allegations surrounding potential sexual abuse and sex trafficking facilitated at the ranch.
State legislator Andrea Romero shared insights on reports dating back to 2019 or earlier, indicating concerns about buried bodies and human trafficking incidents reported to the FBI.
Another member of the Truth Commission, freshman Democratic legislator Marianna Anaya, mentioned uncovering older interviews where Epstein detailed his motives for acquiring the New Mexico ranch, citing its proximity to research facilities like Los Alamos and Sandia National Labs, hinting at his interest in establishing a controversial “baby ranch.”
Expressing a need for uncovering the truth, Romero emphasized the importance of investigating the events that transpired at the ranch and shedding light on the dark realities lurking in their community.
In 2008, Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from minors, and following his death in 2019, allegations emerged from individuals like Jane Doe and Annie Farmer, recounting instances of abuse and misconduct involving Epstein and his associates at Zorro Ranch.
