Two days ago, New Mexico's state House voted unanimously to create a commission to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. Among the probable reasons for the commission's creation was this:
Among the US Justice Department’s latest release of millions of pages of documents related to Epstein is a 2019 email sent to Eddy Aragon, the host of a local radio show, that alleged that “somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G.”

“Both died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex,” the email claimed. The unverified allegations came from someone who claimed they were a former employee at the ranch. The sender of the email was redacted by the DOJ. It’s not clear that those allegations have been investigated by law enforcement.


The current owner has stated that no one has yet investigated the ranch.

HOWEVER, The Meidas Touch reports that, in an interview between Matt Gaetz and the current owner - who is a rabid maga moron - the owner has SUDDENLY undertaken a demolition and renovation project on the ranch. Because he's going to turn it into (drumroll) a Christian children's camp.
&t=3s

So any evidence is likely gone.

And I do have to ask: WHY didn't WE investigate the ranch when WE had the power to do so? I always assumed it was ongoing. Clearly it was not.

Edited to clarify who currently owns the ranch. It's a maga guy, not Gaetz.
