A recent development from the Epstein files has brought to light disturbing allegations, with one of the most unsettling claims suggesting that two bodies may be buried on the property of the convicted sex offender. Investigators have initiated a search at Epstein’s vast 8,000-acre New Mexico residence, known as ‘Zorro Ranch’, under the direction of New Mexico attorney general, Raúl Torrez. This search follows new information disclosed in the files, including accusations regarding bodies at the estate.
The origins of this investigation trace back to 2019 when Eddy Aragon, a radio host and former mayoral candidate, received an anonymous email alleging the burial of ‘two foreign girls’ on the outskirts of the Zorro property on Epstein’s orders. The email, sent by someone claiming to be a former staff member at the ranch, detailed that the girls had died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex. Aragon forwarded the email to the FBI, and it was subsequently included in the extensive collection of documents released in the Epstein files.
Situated in the high desert south of Santa Fe, Zorro Ranch has been extensively referenced in the files, with reports indicating its use by Epstein for sexual abuse and trafficking activities. Speculation has circulated for years that Epstein utilized the remote location to conceal his illicit child sex-trafficking operations. Additionally, there are unverified assertions that Epstein had discussed his intentions to impregnate multiple women at the ranch as part of his fixation with eugenics and creating genetically ‘elite’ offspring.
Numerous witnesses, both male and female, have come forward alleging that Epstein conducted involuntary medical procedures at the secluded property to further his purported interest in selective breeding. New Mexico State Representative Andrea Romero revealed accounts of individuals claiming to have been drugged, subjected to the extraction of sex organs and sperm, and awakening disoriented around medical equipment with no recollection of the events.
Epstein acquired Zorro Ranch in 1993 from the family of former New Mexico governor Bruce King, and it was later sold by Epstein’s estate in 2023. The current owner of the estate, former Texas state Senator Don Huffines, purchased the property from the Epstein estate in 2023. He has committed to directing proceeds from the sale to Epstein’s victims and has expressed willingness to collaborate 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.
In response to these revelations, state legislators have established an ‘Epstein Truth Commission’ to investigate the allegations of sexual abuse and sex trafficking possibly facilitated by the ranch. This bipartisan panel, comprising four members, is collaborating with State Attorney General Torrez’s office in probing the concerning claims surrounding Zorro Ranch.
Reflecting on the unfolding discoveries, State Legislator Andrea Romero highlighted reports suggesting FBI notifications dating back to 2019 or earlier regarding buried bodies and human trafficking incidents. Marianna Anaya, a freshman Democratic legislator involved with the Truth Commission, noted findings from Epstein’s past interviews where he disclosed his reasons for acquiring the New Mexico ranch, particularly its proximity to research facilities like Los Alamos and Sandia National Labs.
The complexity and opacity of the situation have prompted calls for a deeper examination of the truths surrounding the events that transpired at Zorro Ranch. Epstein’s history of soliciting sex from minors, coupled with testimonies from survivors like Jane Doe and Annie Farmer recounting their harrowing experiences at the ranch, underscore the gravity of the situation.
