NM lawmakers, attorney general open probes into child sex trafficker Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

A three-story house sits on the rim of the Galisteo Basin outside Santa Fe. The property, called Zorro Ranch, was owned by child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019.

As the federal government continues to slowly release photos, flight logs and heavily redacted court records, millions of files are still hidden and the full story of Zorro Ranch remains untold.

The New Mexico House of Representatives last month unanimously voted to create a special investigative committee called the Survivors Truth Commission to investigate Epstein's operations in the state. Three days later, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez reopened the criminal investigation of the property.

505omatic’s Austin Fisher, Warren Langford and Katy Gross this week sat down with commissioner chair Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe) to get the latest on the commission’s investigation.

At 11 a.m. this Sunday in Albuquerque, during International Women’s Day, the Women’s March and Women’s March New Mexico will rally and caravan to the gates of Zorro Ranch to demand full release of the files and accountability for every co-conspirator.
