For years, Jeffrey Epstein’s huge New Mexico estate has been whispered about as one of his most secretive hideaways — an isolated patch of desert where he allegedly moved girls around with little oversight.
But now, a wave of disturbing new testimony is raising even deeper concerns about what might have happened behind the locked gates of the sprawling ranch.
And according to several state leaders, the latest allegations are so alarming that New Mexico may be forced to take a hard look at something it has avoided for decades.
Witnesses Claim Horrifying Medical Violations
New Mexico state Representative Andrea Romero says her office has been inundated with messages from men and women who say their experiences at Zorro Ranch went far beyond sexual abuse.
“We’re hearing from people who say they were drugged, woke up around medical equipment, and discovered parts of their bodies had been tampered with,” Romero explained.
Some witnesses claim their reproductive tissues were taken without consent, leading to what she describes as a “deeply unsettling pattern” that can no longer be brushed aside.
Romero and a group of bipartisan lawmakers are now pushing for a formal truth commission to investigate the ranch — not just for sex crimes, but also for what appears to be medical exploitation linked to Epstein’s long-rumored obsession with genetics.
A Secluded Empire in the Desert
The ranch itself is enormous — 13 square miles of open land with a mansion large enough to rival a boutique resort.
It includes guest houses, staff quarters, stables, a greenhouse, its own fire station, and even a private airstrip.
Epstein bought the land in 1993 from former Governor Bruce King and held onto it until his death in 2019.
After years on the market, the property quietly changed hands in 2023, and the new owner remains a mystery.
Even the real estate agent involved refused to discuss who purchased it, citing confidentiality.
To Epstein, the ranch was a perfect hideaway — more private than his Caribbean island and spacious enough to shield VIP guests from public view.
Old Allegations Match New Claims
Epstein often spoke about selective breeding and the idea of creating genetically “advanced” children, according to long-standing reports.
He allegedly fantasized about inseminating groups of women at the ranch to establish a kind of designer bloodline.
That bizarre idea wasn’t taken seriously at the time — dismissed as the ramblings of a wealthy eccentric.
But the new tips Romero has received echo those very themes, including claims of nonconsensual reproductive manipulation.
One woman now says she was subjected to experiments as a toddler.
Others describe waking up in medical rooms with no memory of what happened.
For Romero, it’s enough to stop laughing off the conspiracy-sounding claims and start investigating them.
Victims Say New Mexico Never Looked Hard Enough
Although Epstein faced intense law enforcement scrutiny in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands, he was never charged in New Mexico.
He didn’t even have to register as a sex offender there despite owning the ranch for over 25 years.
Former ranch worker Renee Burns remembers Epstein as arrogant and dismissive but says she never witnessed anything illegal during her shifts.
However, she quickly adds that the ranch is massive — nobody saw every corner of it.
Other former staff members recall a rotating cast of “models,” unexplained guests, and strict rules not to ask questions.
A Commission Could Finally Bring Answers
With the recent flood of tips — roughly 25 to 30 so far — lawmakers say the time has come for a serious investigation.
The proposed truth commission would have a budget of $2.5 million and subpoena power, allowing it to track down individuals who managed the property.
That includes Karen and Brice Gordon, who reportedly fled the United States after Epstein’s death.
Republican Representative Andrea Reeb, a former prosecutor known for work on crimes against children, says the state has waited too long already.
“New Mexico has ignored this for years,” Reeb admits.
“It’s time to figure out what happened and bring justice to anyone who was harmed.”
The commission would begin work in April 2026 if approved.
A Ranch Haunted by Rumors and Power
The ranch is tangled in a messy political history.
Former Governor Bill Richardson, who denied wrongdoing, was socially connected to Epstein and died in 2023.
Questions also linger about former Attorney General Gary King, whose family originally sold Epstein the land.
Even now, no one seems eager to discuss what they saw — or didn’t see — at Zorro Ranch.
Maintenance worker Manolito Royal, who spent nearly two decades there, says the property’s atmosphere still chills him.
“There’s so much we weren’t supposed to know,” he said.
“You hear things, you sense things, but you don’t open every door.”
He supports the investigation but can’t help wishing it had happened years earlier.
“I wish this came out while he was alive,” he admitted. “Maybe we’d have more answers.”
