New Mexico prosecutors are now searching Jeffrey Epstein's former secluded New Mexico ranch.
The entrance of the San Rafael Ranch, which was previously owned by Jeffrey Epstein and called the Zorro Ranch, is seen, Jan. 31, 2026, near Stanley, N.M. Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial in 2019 on charges that he sexually abused and trafficked dozens of underage girls.
New Mexico officials have launched a search of the ranch where they believe Epstein once entertained guests and where allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking of young women may have occurred at the property.The office of State Attorney General Raúl Torrez announced that the search was being done with the cooperation of the current ranch owners. Last month, Torrez reopened the investigation into the ranch. The New Mexico initial case of the ranch was closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors in New York.The enormous Zorro Ranch was purchased by Epstein in 1993. It’s located in Stanley, New Mexico, which is about 30 miles south of Santa Fe. Purchased from former Democratic Gov. Bruce King, Epstein built a sprawling mansion and private runway from the former Democratic Gov. Bruce King. “The New Mexico Department of Justice appreciates the cooperation of the current property owners,” the agency said in a statement. Prosecutors “will continue to keep the public appropriately informed, support the survivors, and follow the facts wherever they lead.” New Mexico state legislators have established a new commission to investigate the ranch’s past activities. Epstein never faced charges in New Mexico, but the state attorney general’s office in 2019 confirmed that it had interviewed possible victims who visited Epstein's ranch.
