A serious allegation about Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico “Playboy” ranch that claimed that the property had buried bodies has returned to the spotlight as officials and the public take a new look at its photos.
In recent weeks, the U.S. Department of Justice released photos of Zorro Ranch in southern Santa Fe County. They showed parts of the estate inside and outside the gates — and with the material, the speculation about buried bodies has returned to public discourse.
Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Playboy’ ranch once faced allegations involving ‘buried bodies’ — report
Jeffrey Epstein bought the New Mexico “Playboy” ranch in 1993 and later built a massive mansion on the property — but now that the DOJ has released photos, claims that the property hid buried bodies are making headlines.
In a 1995 report, The New Mexican described Epstein as “a private man who has sworn his ranch employees to secrecy.” However, The New York Times now reports that an anonymous tip from 2019, from someone who claimed to have worked at the ranch, accused Epstein of hiding the deaths of two abused girls by ordering them buried in the hills outside the property.
Moreover, the NYT noted that it remains unclear whether the FBI ever investigated that tip, as they reportedly declined to comment on it or say whether anyone searched the ranch.
This attention has come as New Mexico lawmakers and the state attorney general reopen efforts that stalled years ago. State Rep. Andrea Romero told The New York Times, “We need to find out how he was able to operate without any accountability.” Notably, Romero leads a bipartisan “truth commission” in the State Legislature that has subpoena power and aims to gather testimony and records related to the ranch.
The claims about buried bodies remain unverified, but the new investigation puts Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico Zorro Ranch under pressure in a way it never faced back when Epstein lived.
