New Mexico has reopened its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch after an anonymous email claimed two girls were buried there.
The state’s attorney general announced the new probe last week. The decision follows the release of thousands of FBI files related to the disgraced financier.
The email was sent in 2019 to a conservative radio host in Albuquerque. The sender claimed to be a former ranch employee and said two foreign girls died during rough sex and were buried on Epstein’s orders. The email also mentioned “Madam G”—likely referring to Ghislaine Maxwell.
The sender offered to hand over videos in exchange for bitcoin. The radio host forwarded the tip to the FBI but never heard back.
New Mexico’s original investigation closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors. State officials now say the new files “warrant further examination.”
The 7,500-acre ranch sits south of Santa Fe. Epstein bought it in 1993 and built a massive hilltop mansion with its own airstrip. He never faced charges in New Mexico despite allegations of abuse at the property.
State lawmakers have also launched a truth commission to dig into Epstein’s activities there. They want to know why he was never registered as a sex offender in the state after his 2008 Florida conviction.
The ranch was sold in 2023 to a Texas family who plans to turn it into a Christian retreat. The new owners say they will cooperate fully with any law enforcement requests.
Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
