About this episode
The episode discusses the theft of over 30 firearms from Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch and the subsequent lack of cooperation from his staff during the investigation.
In August 2018, more than 30 firearms—including rifles, handguns, and antique weapons—were stolen from Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico after intruders broke into multiple buildings on the property. Investigators found clear signs of a coordinated break-in, including smashed windows, tire tracks across the desert terrain, and a fence that had been cut open. Many of the weapons were reportedly taken from a large gun safe, and Epstein himself responded dismissively when informed of the theft. Despite initially reporting the crime and providing serial numbers, Epstein’s staff quickly became uncooperative with authorities. Communications show they were instructed to route inquiries through legal counsel rather than assist police, effectively stalling the investigation. As a result, the case was closed within about a month. The situation raised additional questions because Epstein, as a convicted sex offender, was legally barred from possessing firearms—suggesting a possible motive for the lack of cooperation and reinforcing broader concerns about secrecy surrounding activities at the ranch. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: More than 30 guns stolen from…
