Mysterious Zorro Ranch once owned by Epstein — where girls’ bodies are allegedly buried — is searched by New Mexico authorities

New Mexico authorities on Monday started searching the notorious New Mexico ranch where late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is accused of running a sick “baby-making” operation — and where a staffer once claimed strangled girls are buried.

The New Mexico Department of Justice announced that it started searching Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch on Monday morning at the direction of Attorney General Raúl Torrez, alongside local and state police.

Torrez reopened an investigation into the ranch last month, where the convicted sex offender once entertained guests, 30 miles south of Santa Fe. An original case opened to investigate the secretive outpost was closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors in New York.

State prosecutors have since argued that “revelations outlined in the previously sealed FBI files warrant further examination.”

Although the statement did not specify exactly what revelations were the focus of the search, they include long-running claims that the pervert flew girls there — and allegedly planned to get many pregnant.

Most disturbingly, a document in the Epstein files shows that a staffer once reported that “somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G.”

Former General Linked to Top-Secret UFO Lab Goes Missing

The FBI is searching for the former head of an infamous and classified research laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. William Neil McCasland, a retired US general, disappeared on Friday in Albuquerque after leaving home without his watch or phone. The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office has issued a Silver Alert for the 68-year-old man, whom one Facebook user claimed to have spotted on the Whitewash trailhead in Piedra Lisa Canyon. McCasland is also reported to have an unspecified medical condition. “Our priority is finding Mr. McCasland safely,” Sheriff John Allen said in a press release. “Our investigators and search teams are working continuously, and we’re coordinating closely with our local, state, and federal partners.”

UFO experts speculate that Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has access to extraterrestrial materials and technology, as it houses the lab that analyzed debris from the 1947 Roswell Incident. McCasland took command of the laboratory from 2011 until his retirement in 2013. After WikiLeaks released thousands of documents in 2016, his name appeared in yet another UFO context among emails sent to John Podesta, manager of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The author of those emails, Blink-182 guitarist and frontman Tom DeLonge, told Podesta that McCasland provided advice on how to handle disclosure in relation to DeLonge’s company, To The Stars, Inc.

The FBI and local sheriff’s department are urging Albuquerque residents to review security camera footage and contact them immediately upon discovering any clues.

New Mexico Lawmakers FINALLY Launch Probe Into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch Amid GRUESOME Burial Claims

New revelations have the potential to expose the depths of Jeffrey Epstein’s depravity at his remote New Mexico ranch, where fresh claims suggest victims may have been killed and buried on the grounds.

The investigation kicked off after explosive allegations surfaced in an email claiming two foreign girls were strangled during “rough, fetish s*x” and buried in the hills outside Epstein’s Zorro Ranch on orders from Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, referred to as “Madam G” in the correspondance.

New Mexico Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard, horrified by the potential involvement of state land in these atrocities, pushed for the probe. “I’m horrified when I learned something new, especially when I learned that state land could have been used, could have been involved in some of these monstrous activities,” she said.

The bipartisan “truth commission” established by New Mexico’s House of Representatives will scrutinize past activities at the 7,600-acre property, including whether local authorities turned a blind eye while Epstein operated his trafficking ring.

Epstein bought the ranch in 1993 from former Democratic Gov. Bruce King, transforming it into a sprawling compound complete with a 26,700-square-foot mansion, private airstrip, and helipad—perfect for flying in victims undetected.

The only Epstein property the FBI refuses to discuss as desert burial claims surface after girls were ‘strangled during sex’

Jeffrey Epstein‘s notorious properties from around the world were searched by the FBI after the financier’s 2019 death.

All except one, perhaps. 

The FBI has refused to comment on whether or not its agents searched Epstein’s New Mexico mansion, dubbed Zorro Ranch. 

The site was the venue for serious crimes including rape and murder, according to the Epstein files.

The pedophile ordered the burial of two ‘foreign girls’ near his ranch after they were strangled to death during ‘rough, fetish sex’, according to an email from the latest tranche of documents released by the Department of Justice.

The email was sent from an encrypted address of a person claiming to have worked for Epstein at Zorro to a man named Eddy Aragon on November 21, 2019, before it was forwarded to the FBI.

When the Daily Mail asked the FBI on Monday whether it ever searched the notorious ranch residence, a bureau spokesperson responded: ‘The FBI declines to comment.’

The FBI’s field office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment. 

The FBI has also declined to answer the pressing question when asked by other outlets, raising questions about whether the New Mexico residence was ever investigated. 

‘Edward, This is sensitive, so it will be the first and last email depending on your discretion. You can choose to take it or trash it but this comes from a person that has been there and seen it all, as a former staff at the Zorro,’ the email states. 

‘What is damning about Jeffrey Epstein is yet to be written. Did you know 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 sender also included links to videos which claimed to show Epstein having sex with minors, threesomes and sex with underage girls.

They then demanded a payment of one Bitcoin in return for the video and information.

The email was forwarded onto the FBI just three months after Epstein died while being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

Nearly half a dozen Epstein victims have alleged they were abused at the ranch.  

Months after Epstein’s death in federal custody in August 2019, the ranch had not been scoured by the FBI, according to a recently released email.

White House Issues Update on El Paso Air Space Closure

The White House has blamed drone activity from Mexican drug cartels for the sudden closure of U.S. airspace over El Paso, Texas on Wednesday morning.

In a statement to Newsweek the White House said: “Mexican cartel drones breached US airspace. The Department of War took action to disable the drones.

“The FAA and DOW have determined there is no threat to commercial travel.”

Restrictions set earlier by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have been lifted and authorities said flights would resume as normal from Wednesday.

“The temporary closure of airspace over El Paso has been lifted. There is no threat to commercial aviation. All flights will resume as normal,” the FAA said on its X account.

Democrat Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, who represents El Paso also said on X that she understood there was “no immediate threat to the community or surrounding areas.”

New Mexico Dems Could Pass Broadest Gun Ban in U.S. This Week

For the past several years, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has been demanding the Democrat-controlled legislature deliver an “assault weapon” ban to her desk, and each and every session her fellow Democrats have declined to do so. In Grisham’s last year in office, though, Democrats are poised to deliver exactly what she wants; a bill that would take almost every semi-automatic long gun off the market in the Land of Enchantment.

New Mexico is in the middle of a 30-day session that’s supposed to be limited to budgetary issues only. Instead, Democrats are pushing a number of policy proposals, including SB 17, which would ban the sale and transfer of every gas-operated centerfire rifle that can accept a detachable magazine (along with those guns that have fixed magazine capacity of more than ten rounds), detachable magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition, and .50 BMG rifles, along with imposing a host of new regulations and restrictions on federally licensed firearms retailers. 

On Saturday afternoon the state Senate approved SB 17 along mostly party lines and sent the constitutional abomination on to the House, where it could come up for a vote as early as this week. 

“We have data that shows a lot of the gun crime in New Mexico is coming from guns sold at our local dealers, and we want the state to be able to also regulate and ensure those sales at our gun dealers here are responsible, are not straw purchases, and are happening as they should,” said state Sen. Heather Berghmans.

She says it would require gun shops to have more security measures, more training, keep thorough reports of sales and inventory, and their employees must be 21 years or older.

Yes, most guns used in crimes were originally sold by an FFL. That doesn’t mean, however, that New Mexico gun stores are doing anything wrong. That figure accounts for guns that are stolen or given to criminals by family and friends, along with straw purchases (which also can and do take place without the willing involvement of FFLs). 

Imposting these new requirements on FFL’s isn’t about stopping criminals from getting ahold of guns. It’s about making the process of being a gun store owner more difficult to navigate, more expensive to conduct business, and more legally dangerous to help people exercise a fundamental civil right.

Billionaire Sports Mogul Has Quietly Become America’s Largest Private Landowner

Stan Kroenke, the billionaire sports magnate who owns the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and England’s Arsenal FC, has quietly ascended to the top of America’s private landownership rankings, controlling more than 2.7 million acres following a blockbuster off-market acquisition in December, according to The Land Report.

The deal saw Kroenke purchase over 937,000 acres of ranchland in New Mexico from the heirs of Teledyne founder Henry Singleton, marking the largest single private land transaction in the U.S. in more than a decade, according to The Land Report’s 2026 ranking of the nation’s 100 largest landowners.

The noncontiguous parcels, focused on cattle and horse operations, vaulted Kroenke from fourth place into the No. 1 spot, surpassing the Emmerson family’s 2.44 million acres of timberland through Sierra Pacific Industries, Liberty Media’s John Malone at 2.2 million acres, and former CNN owner Ted Turner’s 2 million acres, Fox Business reports.

Kroenke, who built his fortune in real estate development before expanding into professional sports, has assembled his sprawling portfolio – primarily ranching and grazing land – across the American West and into Canada over decades.

Key holdings include the 560,000-acre Q Creek Ranch in Wyoming, the historic 535,000-acre Waggoner Ranch in Texas, Montana’s Broken O Ranch, Nevada’s Winecup Gamble Ranch, and British Columbia’s Douglas Lake Ranch, according to The Land Report.

How staggering is Kroenke’s total land holdings?

Well, it now exceeds the size of Yellowstone National Park and equates to roughly 2 million football fields, according to Fox Business.

Historic New Mexico Town Blocks Cell Tower After Consulting Lawyer Featured in The Defender

Residents of San Cristóbal, New Mexico, a historic valley in Taos County, successfully blocked a 195-foot cell tower from being built in their community after teaming up with a telecommunications attorney featured in The Defender.

San Cristóbal residents contacted attorney Robert Berg on Sept. 19, after reading a Sept. 18 article in The Defender. The article featured Berg’s work representing communities that opposed cell towers or wireless antennas near homes and schools.

Berg agreed to represent the residents in person and praised their teamwork. “It’s a remarkable group of people — and a remarkable valley,” he said.

On Oct. 14, the Taos County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to overturn the Planning Commission’s July approval of a special use permit for Skyway Towers, a Tampa-based company that builds cell towers on speculation.

“Our community was united in opposition to this tower because we know that better alternatives exist,” Mandy Sackett, a San Cristóbal resident, told The Defender. “It’s heartening that the county commissioners took our voices seriously.”

The San Cristóbal residents’ victory comes as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) — the agency that oversees wireless infrastructure — is proposing new rules that would hand the wireless industry sweeping control over where cell towers are built, according to an Oct. 17 Children’s Health Defense (CHD) action alert.

If adopted, the rules would eliminate public hearings for conditional and special use permits and automatically approve new tower applications after 150 days.
