New Mexico prosecutors launch search of Jeffrey Epstein’s secluded former Zorro Ranch

The New Mexico Department of Justice reopened its probe after a 2019 email alleged burials and abuses at Epstein's ranch, with officials urging public tips and cooperation.

  • On Monday, NMDOJ searched Zorro Ranch at the direction of Attorney General Raúl Torrez, with assistance from the New Mexico State Police and Sandoval County Sheriff's Office.
  • The search follows a criminal investigation announced February 19 that Public Lands Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard requested after reviewing a 2019 email.
  • An anonymous 2019 email alleged two girls were killed and buried near the ranch about 30 miles southeast of Santa Fe, seeking one bitcoin for videos, according to accounts tied to the email.
  • Officials asked anyone with information to submit tips and warned the public to avoid the ranch and not to fly drones near the scene, pledging to support survivors and keep the public informed.
  • Andrea Romero, New Mexico State Representative, warned the state's 2019 closure risked evidence at the 7,500-plus-acre property, which sold on Aug. 22, 2023.
