The New Mexico Reckoning: Local Survivors Emerge From Epstein’s Shadow (4/27/26)

About this episode

Local survivors in New Mexico begin to speak out about their experiences related to Jeffrey Epstein's activities at Zorro Ranch as investigations are renewed.

As authorities in New Mexico intensify their renewed investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities at his Zorro Ranch, local survivors who had never previously come forward are now beginning to speak out. For years, only one New Mexico-based victim had been publicly identified, but officials involved in the state’s Truth Commission say multiple local women and girls have since reached out, alleging they were abused at the ranch or trafficked there. The renewed momentum stems from newly released Justice Department documents, which have prompted the state to reopen its investigation and explore potential criminal cases against Epstein’s associates. Advocacy groups and investigators report that dozens of individuals had previously sought support related to the ranch, but many never filed formal police reports at the time—something now being reconsidered as survivors gain confidence and as the state signals a willingness to pursue accountability that was absent during earlier inquiries. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: As New Mexico probes Epstein, local survivors come forward | Reuters
