JUST IN: Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez just reopened the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s ranch—and what they found in the sealed FBI files is disturbing…

SANTA FE, New Mexico — New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has ordered the reopening of a criminal investigation into allegations of illegal activity at Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch, citing newly revealed details from previously sealed FBI files as deeply concerning and warranting further scrutiny.

The announcement came Thursday after Torrez’s office reviewed information recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice from its Epstein-related documents.

The state’s prior probe into the sprawling 7,500-acre property south of Santa Fe was closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors in New York to avoid overlapping investigations.

“Revelations outlined in the previously sealed FBI files warrant further examination,” a spokesperson for the New Mexico Department of Justice stated.

Officials said special agents and prosecutors will seek immediate access to the complete, unredacted federal case file and plan to collaborate with law enforcement partners as well as the newly established Epstein Truth Commission created by the state legislature.

Among the disturbing elements in the released files are allegations from a 2019 anonymous email tip, referenced in DOJ materials, claiming that two foreign girls died at the ranch—possibly strangled—and were buried in the nearby hills.

Additional reports from the period raised concerns about a barn on the property potentially designed to conceal an incinerator for destroying evidence, alongside rumors of high-profile visitors and recruitment of young women.

Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019, owned Zorro Ranch as one of several remote properties linked to his sex-trafficking network.

No charges were ever filed against him in New Mexico, and the property was never searched by federal agents at the time, according to some records.

The ranch has since been sold by Epstein’s estate to a Texas businessman who plans to develop it as a Christian retreat.

Torrez emphasized that investigators will “follow the facts wherever they lead,” carefully assessing jurisdiction and preserving any remaining evidence. Updates are expected as the probe advances in coordination with the truth commission, which has subpoena power and funding to examine Epstein’s activities in the state.

The decision follows mounting public pressure and recent media reports highlighting gaps in prior federal handling of the case.

The New Mexico Department of Justice has not detailed specific new findings beyond the need for deeper review but described the sealed file contents as significant enough to justify restarting the inquiry.
