New Mexico Lawmaker Reveals Disturbing New Details from Epstein’s Zorro Ranch Probe – Calls for Full Unsealing of Evidence
SANTA FE, New Mexico, 4 March 2026 – A New Mexico state representative delivered an emotionally charged presentation before a joint legislative committee yesterday, detailing previously undisclosed findings from the long-dormant investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch property near Stanley, New Mexico.
Rep. Andrea Reeb (R-Clovis), visibly struggling to maintain composure at several points, outlined evidence recovered during a limited 2019–2020 search of the 8,000-acre ranch that Epstein purchased in 1993 and used intermittently until his 2019 arrest. Among the items highlighted were:
- Sealed storage compartments beneath the main residence floor containing what investigators described as “personal effects inconsistent with normal residential use,” including restraints, blindfolds, and large quantities of lubricants and medications commonly associated with sexual activity.
- Forensic traces of human biological material (blood and semen) recovered from multiple locations inside the main house and a detached guesthouse, some of which matched DNA profiles of known Epstein victims who have stated they were brought to the ranch as minors.
- A locked safe inside Epstein’s private office that, when opened under court order in 2021, contained several hard drives and USB devices still awaiting full forensic analysis due to ongoing legal challenges from parties claiming privilege.
- Contemporaneous flight logs and ranch guest books showing visits by high-profile individuals during periods when underage girls were present on the property, according to sworn victim statements.
Reeb, whose district includes parts of rural northeastern New Mexico, described the ranch as “not a vacation home but a place deliberately designed and used to facilitate and conceal serious crimes against children.” Her voice broke when she read from redacted portions of victim impact statements describing being transported to the isolated property under false pretenses and subjected to abuse.
The presentation came as part of renewed legislative pressure to compel federal authorities to release the remaining sealed portions of the Zorro Ranch search-warrant returns and forensic reports. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has joined several victims’ attorneys in demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice lift classification on materials still withheld on grounds of “ongoing investigation” or third-party privacy.
The renewed focus on Zorro Ranch follows the partial declassification of Epstein-related files in late 2025 and early 2026, which included references to the New Mexico property but redacted significant portions. Several survivors have publicly stated they were trafficked to the ranch between 1996 and 2005, allegations that have never been criminally prosecuted.
Epstein’s estate and several former associates have consistently denied that any illegal activity took place at Zorro Ranch. No criminal charges related to the New Mexico property have ever been filed.
Rep. Reeb concluded her remarks by calling for a bipartisan select committee to oversee the remaining document releases and to examine why federal and state authorities have not pursued charges despite what she called “overwhelming physical and testimonial evidence.”
Public reaction has been swift. The hashtag #ZorroRanchFiles trended globally within hours, and an online petition demanding full unsealing of the remaining records surpassed 420,000 signatures by midday today.
Whether the renewed attention will force additional disclosures remains uncertain. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which has led the Epstein investigation, has not commented on the New Mexico lawmaker’s presentation.
