Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico Ranch Gets Scrutiny at Last

Attorney General Raúl Torrez is reopening the probe into Epstein's Zorro Ranch after federal records raised concerns about halted state investigation and missing evidence.

  • Raúl Torrez, New Mexico Attorney General, announced the state is reopening its investigation into Zorro Ranch after reviewing recent DOJ files and records, citing FBI revelations.
  • After the DOJ released three million pages in January, Raúl Torrez said those revelations warrant further investigation, while federal prosecutors in 2019 asked New Mexico to halt its probe and share records with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
  • Balderas' office urged federal prosecutors in 2020 to seize Zorro Ranch, with Moran stating, 'We believe that this ranch was used by Epstein and others to facilitate the... trafficking of children.'
  • The state DOJ can subpoena witnesses, hear testimony and coordinate with the four-member legislative truth-finding commission, while Don Huffines, current owner who purchased the ranch in 2023, has pledged to cooperate.
  • Unusual images include a vintage Santa Fe caboose and firehouse at Zorro Ranch, as shown in U.S. Department of Justice files, raising questions about property features and evidence.
