US EditionNew Mexico Opens Probe into Bodies Allegedly Buried at Epstein Ranch
The bipartisan Truth Commission with a $2 million budget investigates sex trafficking allegations and seeks survivor testimony at Epstein’s former ranch, amid reopened state DOJ probe.
- On Tuesday, New Mexico state legislators created a bipartisan, four-member House panel to investigate activities at San Rafael Ranch, with reports due by July 31 and December 31, 2026.
- Survivors and DOJ files, including a redacted 2019 anonymous tip, triggered a review after allegations of buried bodies and sex trafficking activity at Zorro Ranch, as Romero said Tuesday.
- The property was sold in 2023 and Don Huffines, the confirmed owner, said it was renamed San Rafael Ranch, with proceeds benefiting victims and plans for a Christian retreat.
- The House approved funding and empowered the four-member bipartisan panel with subpoena power, enabling hearings and testimony collection, as well as coordination with the agency.
- Although it cannot prosecute, the panel aims to build a public record, identify legal gaps, and may prompt reforms or legal actions, with statutes of limitations potentially limiting prosecutions.
