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.

Eyewitness video of mysterious craft hovering over El Paso upends Trump administration ‘party balloon’ claims

Claims that US airspace was shut down because of a party balloon have been popped by new video appearing to show a large, hovering UFO over El Paso, Texas.

An eyewitness driving near El Paso International Airport on Tuesday pulled over to record what they described as a mothership floating above the ground in the distance, which was releasing smaller objects from its underside.

The sighting, shared with crowdsourced UFO-reporting platform Enigma, occurred just hours before a large swath of US airspace was abruptly closed for ‘special security reasons’ at 11.30pm MT on February 10.

The mysterious shut down was originally announced to last for ten days and included all commercial, cargo, and general flights within a ten-mile-wide area roughly five miles southwest of El Paso, from the ground up to 18,000 feet.

However, the chaotic shut down by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was quickly called off, with the Trump Administration changing the story of what triggered the alert multiple times within a matter of hours on Wednesday.

White House officials initially announced the US had taken down a Mexican cartel drone flying across the southern border, only to claim hours later that the object struck by a high-powered laser was a party balloon.

Now, UFO researchers and witnesses in the area have alleged that something other than a balloon or drone was spotted on multiple days near the US-Mexico border before the FAA warning.

‘Looks like the mothership. It’s huge. And there are stuff coming out from the bottom of it and going off to the left a little bit as it landed,’ the driver on Tuesday said.

Three unidentified names in Epstein files raise questions about hidden connections

Three names newly unredacted from the Jeffrey Epstein files remain shrouded in mystery, with no clear public record connecting them to the convicted sex offender or explaining how they fit into his network of powerful associates.

Leonic Leonov, Zurab Mikeladze, and Salvatore Nuara were among six men whose identities lawmakers forced the Department of Justice to reveal this week after a review of the files found their names had been improperly redacted. While two of the six—billionaire Leslie Wexner and Dubai executive Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem—are well-known figures with documented ties to Epstein, the other three have proven difficult to trace.

Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie discovered the redacted names during a two-hour review of unredacted Epstein documents at the DOJ on Monday. After the lawmakers publicly identified them, the department partially unredacted the files where the names appeared.

Documents Show Epstein Bought 330 GALLONS of Sulfuric Acid in 2018, ON THE SAME DAY the FBI Launched Sex Trafficking Probe on Him

Not a ‘conspiracy theory’ anymore.

The millions of ‘Epstein Files’ documents released by the DOJ are revealing damaging information about powerful people all over the world, and also shedding light on the most disturbing aspects of the Epstein trafficking ring lore.

For years, it was rumored that young women and children were murdered by elite figures in his ‘Pedophile Island’ and his New Mexico ‘Zorro Ranch’.

And while this remains in the realm of wildest speculation, new documents within the Epstein files show that ‘330 gallons of sulfuric acid were purchased for the pedophile’s island on the day the FBI opened its investigation into the billionaire’s trafficking charges’.

Daily Mail reported:

“According to a receipt and several email exchanges buried within the millions of files that were released on January 30, Epstein had six 55-gallon drums of the chemical delivered to Little St. James (LSJ) – his private island. The sulfuric acid was purchased for £4,373 on June 12, 2018, coinciding with the date the FBI opened a federal investigation into Epstein’s trafficking activities.”

Mystery Biotech Explosion Kills 8 in China, Company Legal Rep Arrested

Chinese state media agencies confirmed a massive explosion taking place at a facility owned by a biotechnology company killed at least eight people in Shanxi, northern China this weekend.

Multiple Asian news outlets identified the company involved as Shanyin Jiapeng Bio-Technology, which reportedly manufactures a host of chemicals including agricultural products and paint. None of the reports on the incident indicate any known reason for the explosion, indicating that investigations are still ongoing. The government’s Xinhua News Agency reported that the Communist Party had detained the company’s legal representative, stating that he or she was “placed under control” without any details. It remains unclear at press time why the legal representative, and no other employee of the company, was targeted.

China has a long history of industrial, chemical, and scientific research accidents, as well as corporate misconduct and corruption. Among the various scandalous incidents involving biochemical or industrial corporations is the infamous 2015 Tianjin explosion that killed 173 people, the Changsheng Biotech scandal in which nearly 1 million children were administered ineffective or watered-down vaccines, and the ongoing investigation into potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

“An explosion that occurred in the early hours of Saturday at a biotechnology company in Shuozhou, North China’s Shanxi Province has resulted in eight fatalities as of 9:30 am Sunday,” the Chinese state newspaper Global Times reported on Sunday, “and the cause of the incident is still under investigation.”

“The company is located in a mountainous area more than 40 kilometers from the county seat. At the accident site, Xinhua reporters saw thick yellowish smoke still billowing, as emergency response and cleanup operations continued,” the outlet added. The Global Times described search and rescue crews being forced to dig deep into the complex to find all the known working crew and finding multiple bodies — suggesting that more victims could still be found.

The investigation into the incident is reportedly in the hands of the State Council Work Safety Committee, suggesting that it may escalate to a national level. The state newspaper China Daily added, without directly linking this fact to the explosion, that “a nationwide campaign has also been launched to inspect and rectify illegal production sites involving hazardous chemicals and other related activities.”

The accident is the latest in several incidents that have resulted in calls for better control of chemical and pharmaceutical corporations in the country. The largest such incident occurred in 2015, when nearly 200 people were killed by a massive explosion in Tianjin, northeast China. The explosion, equivalent to that of 21 tons of TNT, was found to be caused by unsafe storage of large amounts of sodium cyanide and resulted in the imprisonment of 49 individuals tied to Ruihai Logistics. The Communist Party accused the imprisoned of bribing local officials to store the chemicals illegally without facing repercussions.

In 2018, a scandal involving biotechnology consumed the nation. A massive pharmaceutical company, Changsheng Biotechnology, was caught administering watered-down or otherwise ineffective vaccines, then producing fake vaccine records, profiting tremendously by defrauding parents of vaccinated children. Multiple batches of vaccines totaling nearly 1 million doses were found to have not met the standards necessary to properly immunize the children involved. The Communist Party heavily condemned the company, resulting in dozens of arrests and criminal charges, and made a rare allowance for the parents of the affected children to protest publicly. In January 2019, a mob of angry parents staged a protest that ended with parents beating local officials for not properly enforcing regulations surrounding vaccines.

Kincora: British intelligence-run sex abuse brothel?

Half a century after the public learned that boys at a Belfast group home were sexually assaulted by senior staff, a key question remains unanswered: was British intelligence implicated in the abuse conspiracy, and did Kincora serve as a ‘honeypot’ to entrap and blackmail powerful figures?

A vast trove of declassified files on Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual, political, and intelligence escapades released by the US Department of Justice has once again thrust disgraced former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor into the spotlight. With British police reportedly reviewing Andrew’s past sexual activities and links to Epstein, questions are growing about whether Britain’s spy agencies were aware of Andrew’s alleged escapades with minors.

If the darkest rumors turn out to be true, it will not be the first time a British royal had been embroiled in a child rape conspiracy with spy agency involvement. Back in 1980, a scandal erupted when the Kincora Boys’ Home in occupied Ireland was exposed as a secret brothel run by powerful pedophiles. Chief among the alleged perpetrators was Lord Mountbatten — Andrew’s great-uncle.

From the very beginning, hints began to appear that MI5/MI6 knew of the child abuse taking place Kincora, and could have even been running the group home as part of a dastardly intelligence plot. With Britain’s domestic and foreign spies engaged in a savage dirty war in Ireland, and both services running operatives in Republican and Unionist paramilitaries, Kincora would have provided an ideal means of recruiting and compromising potential assets. Official investigations have strongly insinuated British intelligence chiefs had a close bond with many individuals who ran the Boys’ Home. 

In May 2025, veteran BBC journalist Chris Moore published a forensic account of the case titled Kincora: Britain’s Shame. Featuring four and a half decades of firsthand research by the author, its groundbreaking contents have been met with general silence by British mainstream media.

In the book, Moore argues persuasively that the Boys’ Home was just one component of a more extensive child abuse network extending across British-occupied Ireland and beyond — in which London’s spying apparatus was not only aware, but likely complicit. 

In 2023, Moore met personally with Kincora victim Arthur Smyth in Australia. Smyth’s stay at the Home was brief, but the horrors he endured there left him scarred forever.

“Having interviewed a number of Kincora survivors, I found Arthur’s story familiar. Sent to the Boys’ Home by a Belfast divorce court judge aged 11, he was continually preyed upon by the pedophiles who ran it, and intimidated into silence,” Moore told The Grayzone. “Arthur was also brutally abused repeatedly by a man he knew only as ‘Dickie’, who raped him while bending him over a desk.”

In August 1979, two years after Smyth escaped Kincora, he learned the true identity of ‘Dickie’ was none other than Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, a member of the royal family and Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin. Mountbatten had just been murdered in an apparent IRA bombing attack on his fishing boat off the coast of Ireland. Though the British government appears to remain committed to concealing his crimes from the public, Mountbatten’s pedophilia was common knowledge among both British and US intelligence for decades.

As early as World War II, the FBI had identified Mountbatten as “a homosexual with a perversion for young boys.” A Bureau file detailing this was later identified by historian Andrew Lownie. After requesting other files the Bureau maintained on the royal, Lownie was informed by US authorities they had been destroyed.

Lownie says he was told by an FBI official that the files were only disposed of “after [he] asked for them” — indicating they were “clearly” shredded at the request of the British government.

Who entered Epstein’s jail tier the night of his death? Newly released video logs appear to contradict official accounts.

Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: “A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier.”

It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General. 

The FBI log describes the fuzzy image as “possibly an inmate.” 

The inspector general logs it as an officer carrying orange “linen or bedding,” noting it in their final report as “an unidentified [corrections officer].”

The DOJ Office of Inspector General’s analysis of video footage describes a fuzzy orange image on the stairs leading to Epstein’s cell tier as: “it is possible someone is carrying inmate linen or bedding up the stairs.”

California politician’s daughter, 22, was found ‘in distress’ on side of highway before sudden death

The 22-year-old daughter of a Los Angeles mayoral candidate was found alone suffering from a medical emergency on the side of a road before she died. 

Emily Beutner, whose father Austin Beutner is running against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, died on January 6, according to LA County Medical Examiner records.

Her cause of death has been listed as ‘deferred’ pending further investigation, but heartbreaking details from the LA Sheriff’s Department (LASD) have emerged about the circumstances leading up to it. 

A witness reportedly alerted police of a woman in a ‘state of medical distress’ on the side of a highway in Palmdale just after midnight, per the Los Angeles Times. 

Deputies and paramedics rushed to the scene to treat Emily. She was then taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

It is unclear how long she remained on the side of the road – which is surrounded by fields – or what the nature of her medical episode was. 

LASD homicide detectives are handling this investigation, but Lieutenant Michael Modica told the LA Times that this is not indicative of her cause of death. 

Having the homicide unit investigate the death of a young person is standard practice, he said.

Water, Vinegar, and Suspicious Millions: Questions Surround Ilhan Omar

When they sprayed water on someone suspected of fraud, I said nothing, because I was not suspected of fraud…

Liberal accounts on social media are praising Rep. Ilhan Omar’s courage for raising her fist at her attacker after being squirted with a small amount of water. Mainstream media are quick to point out that the syringe did not contain only water but also apple cider vinegar, a non-irritant which, if it hits your face, can cause temporary blindness and a sour taste in your mouth. It is also known to remove stains from clothing.

Unlike President Trump, who missed one day of work after being shot, the courageous Ilhan Omar returned to the podium and defiantly continued her diatribe on why federal law enforcement should be discontinued. Where others might have been concerned that there was a chemical or biological weapon in the syringe, Omar pressed on, almost as if she knew she had been doused with salad dressing.

While recovering from the traumatic ordeal that left droplets of moisture on her blouse, Omar is reportedly under Justice Department investigation over questions surrounding her finances and the rapid growth of her personal wealth since entering Congress.

Critics point to financial disclosures showing her family’s assets grew from a reported negative net worth when she entered Congress in 2019 to 2024 estimates ranging between $6 million and $30 million.

President Trump has been criticized for claiming Omar went from having “NOTHING” in Somalia to being worth over $44 million. He has been attacked by the media, which claim the $44 million figure is an exaggeration, but whether the figure is $30 million or $44 million, it is reasonable to ask how she arrived at such a large sum in just a few years while earning about $175,000 per year.

Based on her own filings, the value of her husband’s stake in Rose Lake Capital jumped from a maximum of $1,000 to a minimum of $5 million in a single year. Despite signing these forms under penalty of perjury, Omar told Business Insider in February 2025 that the claim she is worth millions is “categorically false.” She went on to say that she is “barely worth thousands” and owns neither a house nor stocks. As a result, it appears that in some interviews she has suggested her net worth is less than $1 million, while in others she has attributed the growth in her net worth to prudent investment.

Forensic accountants and the House Oversight Committee are now looking for the “why.” They are investigating whether the 2024 valuation was a typo, a massive success for her husband’s firm, or related to broader federal investigations into billion-dollar fraud within Minnesota state assistance programs and Somali-linked charities, such as the “Feeding Our Future” fraud scandal.

Omar responded by accusing Trump of using conspiracy theories about her to distract from declining political support and policy failures, saying previous investigations found no wrongdoing while calling for federal immigration agents to leave Minneapolis and urging the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

WEF Conference Center Evacuated Over Mysterious Smell

The Davos Congress Center was evacuated Wednesday during the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting.

“We have just been evacuated from the Congress Center,” Fox Business reporter Edward Lawrence reported in an X post. “Emergency crews trying to determine what is causing a smell that is making some people in our area cough,” he added.

The post was accompanied by a video that showed attendees streaming out of the building through a walkway while fire crews could be seen entering.

The conference center, located in Davos, Switzerland, is the primary venue and central hub for the WEF’s Annual Meeting, which has been held there annually since 1971. The WEF organizes and hosts the event and uses the conference center for major sessions, addresses, and gatherings of world leaders, CEOs, and delegates.

Some reports link the smell to a fire at a nearby hotel, though no fire was confirmed inside the conference center itself, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

The incident occurred around 8:00 PM local time on January 21, 2026, with no indications of foul play, a bomb threat, or other security issues. Helicopters were observed overhead, and firefighters entered the building as part of the response.

“They evacuated us all. We left all our things inside because there seems to be a fire in a hotel nearby,” Italian journalist Lilli Gruber told the Daily Mirror. “There are helicopters flying overhead, it’s full of firefighters.”

Gruber and her team were set to hold a live broadcast on La7TV when the evacuation order was given. She and her team were forced to stand up and leave mid-setup, leaving equipment behind.

The evacuation came just hours after Trump addressed the World Economic Forum. At the time, the event had just wrapped up key discussions between President Trump, senior cabinet members and NATO representatives.

Much discussion was had about the ongoing negotiations over Greenland, the Russia-Ukraine war and other pressing foreign policy issues.

The U.S. had its largest-ever delegation at WEF 2026, led by President Trump and including cabinet members like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and others.

Trump was reportedly still in the building when the incident began. The evacuation affected all attendees in the conference center, including the U.S. group, but there are no reports of injuries, targeted impacts, or delays to their schedule beyond the immediate disruption as of this report.
