New Mexico authorities on Monday started searching the notorious New Mexico ranch where late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is accused of running a sick “baby-making” operation — and where a staffer once claimed strangled girls are buried. The New Mexico Department of Justice announced that it started searching Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch on Monday morning at the direction of Attorney General Raúl Torrez, alongside local and state police. Torrez reopened an investigation into the ranch last month, where the convicted sex offender once entertained guests, 30 miles south of Santa Fe. An original case opened to investigate the secretive outpost was closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors in New York.
