Less publicized than Epstein Island or the Epstein brownstone is the Epstein Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. It is currently owned by Don Huffines who has an interesting employment history. Rumor has it that two foreign girls are buried there. New Mexican authorities have opened an investigation but, for reasons unknown, US DOJ refuses to cooperate.
New Mexico’s attorney general unveiled a letter he sent last week to the acting U.S. attorney general, Todd Blanche, accusing the Justice Department of withholding critical evidence.
New Mexico’s attorney general on Thursday accused the Justice Department of obstructing the state’s criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein’s activities on a sprawling high-desert estate south of Santa Fe by withholding unredacted records.
Raúl Torrez, New Mexico’s top law enforcement officer, first requested original documents related to the convicted sex offender’s Zorro Ranch property in February. He said he reiterated the request five times in the following months, through a range of channels, but Justice Department officials so far had not responded.
...The breakdown in cooperation between federal and state authorities is the latest obstacle in the ongoing effort to bring justice to Mr. Epstein’s victims, some of whom have said they were trafficked and abused at Zorro Ranch. The remote property had escaped scrutiny for years, even as other parts of Mr. Epstein’s empire were scoured.
Documents unsealed in the release of the Epstein files indicated that federal investigators had overlooked the ranch when in 2019 they took over a state-level inquiry into Mr. Epstein’s actions. New Mexico officials have since said that federal authorities failed to thoroughly search the property.
I'm not sure if files collected from the Zorro Ranch are included in the Epstein Transparency Act which the US DOJ continues to flout.
