New Mexico investigators have launched an intensive search of the sprawling Zorro Ranch, the former estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as authorities move to secure evidence of alleged sex trafficking and systemic abuse.
Firefighters are assisting search teams combing the sprawling desert property, along with specialist state law enforcement units and forensic officials. The operation commenced on Monday morning and represents a significant escalation in the state's renewed criminal investigation, which Attorney General Raúl Torrez officially reopened last month.
