New Mexico authorities have reportedly reopened an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch property following an anonymous FBI tip alleging disturbing activities at the remote estate. According to reports, the tip claimed that Epstein ordered the burial of two sex crime victims on the ranch grounds. The New Mexico Attorney General's office is said to be reviving an investigation that was originally launched in 2019 but allegedly allowed to lapse when federal prosecutors took over the case.
A truth commission has been established with four members, led by Democratic state politician Andrea Romero, to examine the history of the mysterious property. The 2,800 square meter ranch, which Epstein owned for 26 years and named after the fictional character Zorro, is located in a remote area south of Santa Fe. Previous investigations into the property were reportedly ignored by authorities, despite testimony from underage sex crime victims about exploitation at the ranch.
The commission aims to understand how Epstein was able to operate at the property without accountability.
