"For years, Jeffrey Epstein took respite at a sprawling ranch in the desert scrub outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. Epstein's nearly 10,000-acre (4,000-hectare) property known as Zorro ranch was dotted with cholla cactus and Angus cattle, and came to include a 26,700 sq ft mansion, as well as a private runway and hangar. For years, Epstein abused teenage girls and young women on this ranch with impunity, according to testimony from several women."
"Emails released by the justice department last week as part of a large set of documents related to Epstein also suggest that a search did not occur around the time of Epstein's arrest. In September 2019, Manhattan federal prosecutors said that they spoke with the New Mexico attorney general's office, who they said had agreed to cease any investigation into sex trafficking and share whatever they had gathered regarding sex trafficking activity with our office."
Jeffrey Epstein owned a nearly 10,000-acre Zorro Ranch outside Santa Fe featuring cholla cactus, Angus cattle, a 26,700 sq ft mansion, private runway and hangar. Survivors testified that Epstein abused teenage girls and young women on the isolated ranch for years. Authorities searched Epstein's New York townhouse, Caribbean island, Palm Beach estate and Paris apartment, but state and local officials said they were not aware of any federal search of the ranch. New Mexico's attorney general said his office investigated viable local activity in 2019, but federal prosecutors in New York asked to hold further state prosecutions and to share gathered materials.
