The sad story of at least two girls killed during rough sex sessions at Jeffrey Epstein’s remote New Mexico ranch is closer to being told, following a massive police swoop on the 7,500 acre property.
For years talk of the deaths has swirled around Zorro Ranch in the tiny town of Stanley, 30 miles south of the state capital, Santa Fe – but the identities of the girls have never been known.
Now, law enforcement is confident it can find the bodies if they exist and put names to the dead girls.
Agents from the state Department of Justice, along with police and the local sheriff’s office, started the search on Monday and continued into Tuesday.
The investigation is running in parallel to a truth commission that was unanimously set up by local lawmakers last month to try to find out exactly what went on at Zorro.
‘We have heard years of allegations and rumors about Epstein’s activities in New Mexico, but unfortunately, federal investigations have failed to put together an official record,’ said State Representative Andrea Romero, who led the fight to establish the commission, and is one of its four members.
‘With this truth commission, we can finally fill in the gaps by investigating the failures that led to the horrific allegations of abuse and crime at Zorro Ranch, so we can learn from them and prevent such atrocities from taking place in our state going forward.’
The operation began just the day after hundreds of protesters gathered at the ranch, now renamed Rancho de San Rafael by its new owner. (Read more: Daily Mail, 3/10/2026) (Archive)
