New Mexico investigators conduct the first known thorough search of Jeffrey Epstein's former Zorro Ranch after the New Mexico Department of Justice requested an unredacted 2019 DOJ email that allegedly names two foreign girls who were strangled and buried near the property.Attorney General Raúl Torrez reopened the probe following millions of declassified files and a 2019 email from a former employee that revived allegations Epstein and associates ordered killings during "rough, fetish sex" and that a "Madam G" was involved, and Torrez warns there are real obstacles to finding physical evidence.Don Huffines, who renamed the estate San Rafael Ranch and says he plans to transform it into a Christian retreat, is cooperating with investigators and recently won the Republican primary for Texas comptroller, and witnesses report search dogs, state police, fire rescue, animal control and county sheriff vehicles on site.The state runs a truth commission examining 26 years of possible corruption that may have enabled Epstein's operations, survivor accounts including
Jane Doe 15 and
Annie Farmer helped prompt renewal of the probe, and officials say they will share findings publicly while forensic teams begin searches of the grounds.
