New Mexico Opens Probe into Bodies Allegedly Buried at Epstein Ranch

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.
