Episode Details

Despite being one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most notorious properties, Zorro Ranch was never meaningfully searched, raided, or treated as a serious crime scene by New Mexico authorities. While Epstein’s residences in Florida, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands drew law-enforcement attention, Zorro Ranch—an isolated, sprawling compound repeatedly named by victims and witnesses—was effectively ignored. There was no comprehensive forensic sweep, no coordinated execution of search warrants during the height of the investigation, and no sustained effort to identify potential victims, associates, or criminal activity tied to the property. This omission is especially striking given the volume of allegations placing Epstein and underage girls at the ranch over multiple years, as well as its remote nature, which would have made it an ideal site for concealed criminal conduct.

Equally troubling is the fact that New Mexico never conducted a serious, standalone investigation into Jeffrey Epstein himself. State and local authorities largely deferred, treating Epstein as someone else’s problem and relying on federal action that never fully materialized while he was alive. No grand jury was convened in New Mexico, no aggressive victim-outreach campaign was launched, and no public accounting was ever given for why such a high-profile location tied to a serial abuser escaped scrutiny. The result is a glaring accountability gap: a major Epstein crime scene left untouched, potential evidence lost to time, and an entire state effectively opting out of confronting one of the most significant criminal enterprises of the modern era.
