🚨 BREAKING: State lawmakers in New Mexico are pushing to create a “truth commission” to investigate alleged crimes at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch —nearly seven years after Jeffrey Epstein’s death and despite the property having been sold.

The ranch (a sprawling, remote estate once owned by Epstein in Santa Fe County) was sold in 2023 by his estate as part of a “fire sale.”

Lawmakers, led by Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe), say survivors signalled abuse and trafficking activity at the ranch and that the state still lacks a full record of “what occurred or how officials responded.”

So why now? Why only after the ranch was sold and many years after allegations surfaced? Why hasn’t this been done earlier when survivors first raised alarms? Many of the brave women who have spoken up about their experiences identified the ranch as a location of their abuse.

If we’re serious about truth and accountability, it’s not just about investigating the ranch 7 years later.
Survivors deserve for there to be a commission established including lawmakers, citizens and trauma professionals to review the full release the full Epstein files.
No more sealed documents, no more protected names, no more redactions in the name of ‘privacy’ while the public is kept in the dark.

Epstein purchased Zorro Ranch in 1993, reportedly for around $12 million, from the former New Mexico Governor Bruce King.
Epstein’s private pilot Larry Visoski (shown here arriving to court) has faced no charges in the trafficking operation, despite piloting thousands of flights—some with Epstein’s victims aboard.
He was gifted a 40 acre ranch of his own, originally part of Zorro Ranch, by Epstein.

“We believe that this ranch was used by Epstein and others to facilitate the commission and prolonged concealment of his trafficking of children,” Clara Moran, the former chief deputy attorney general who’s now a district judge, wrote in a 2020 letter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York City.
“I ask that any interests belonging to Epstein’s estate or co-conspirators be seized by federal authorities.”
So why now?

In a 2022 email about an investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell, one of the attorney general’s special agents wrote: “Several years ago, we began looking into this case and were asked to stop by DOJ as the FBI was investigating and they were prosecuting in NY.”
It sat on the market for two years and then was sold to an LLC for around $18m. The original asking price was $27.5
