Emails Suggest Epstein Buried Victims at His New Mexico Ranch

A disturbing message contained within the Justice Department–released Epstein files alleges that two young victims of convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein are buried at his Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico after dying as a result of abuse.

Epstein, who allegedly died under suspicious circumstances in federal custody in 2019, owned multiple properties tied to allegations of trafficking and abuse.

Zorro Ranch, located outside Santa Fe, is widely reported to be the only major Epstein property never raided by federal authorities, despite testimony from victims describing horrific abuse there and reports that powerful figures visited the estate.

An email referenced in the newly released files appears to suggest a possible cover-up surrounding the deaths of two foreign girls.

According to the message from a former ranch staffer:

“Did you know somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madame G?

“Both died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex.”

“Madame G” is believed to refer to Epstein’s longtime associate and convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Investigators Say Case Could Still Be Pursued

Award-winning journalist Catherine Herridge discussed the email with former FBI special agent and investigator Jonathan Gilliam, raising the question of whether such allegations could still be investigated.

Gilliam responded:

“That could absolutely be investigated.

“There is no statute of limitations on that, and then also, if they have testimony or some type of witness saying that that is where they were killed, they can then go out and do a search and potentially find a body.”

He cautioned that proving sexual assault years later would be difficult, but emphasized that homicide evidence would be different:

“It’s going to be difficult years later to prove something like sexual assault, but if you can find the evidence that somebody was killed, that’s totally different.

“And again, there’s no statute of limitations.

“But, see, this is also, Catherine, why you don’t just say, ‘Oh, that crime that that person committed is dropped off, we’re not gonna investigate that any further.’

“[Because] you never know who these loop back around to.”

Gilliam further warned that testimony suggesting a broader network of abuse could implicate additional powerful figures:

“This was a society of people abusing women, then, and some of them died, you really don’t know who was connected to them… and who has knowledge of that.

“So that’s why you would continue to look into all these different subjects.”

Questions of Blackmail and a Wider Cover-Up

Herridge also asked whether the email itself could represent an attempt at blackmail.

Gilliam replied cautiously:

“It looks like it could be any of several things.

“It could be blackmail,” Gilliam noted.

“It could also be that somebody had some type of information, and they wanted to make it known somewhere along the way that they had nothing to do with that.

“We’ve seen that in other cases.”

He concluded:

“I don’t think there’s enough evidence at this point for me to say blackmail or not, but is there a possibility? Of course.”

WATCH:

Mounting Pressure for Accountability

The allegation that victims may be buried at Zorro Ranch intensifies longstanding concerns that Epstein’s crimes, and any network connected to them, have never been fully exposed.

With no statute of limitations on potential homicide investigations and newly released federal files raising fresh questions, pressure is likely to grow for authorities to finally search the New Mexico property and determine whether evidence of additional crimes has been hidden for years.

For many Americans, the unresolved Epstein scandal remains a defining test of whether powerful abusers can be held accountable, or whether elite influence still shields the truth.
