New Mexico’s Epstein Survivors Truth Commission has issued its first major round of subpoenas as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch, the sprawling property outside Santa Fe that has long been tied to allegations of abuse, trafficking, and institutional failure. The commission, created by New Mexico lawmakers in early 2026, is seeking records from more than a dozen entities, including federal agencies, state officials, law enforcement bodies, Deutsche Bank, the FBI, the governor’s office, and the Santa Fe Institute. The goal is to determine what happened at the ranch, who knew about it, what institutions enabled Epstein’s presence in New Mexico for decades, and why the property was never subjected to the same level of federal scrutiny as Epstein’s Manhattan mansion or his island in the Virgin Islands.
The subpoenas mark a significant escalation because the New Mexico inquiry is not simply looking at Epstein as an isolated predator, but at the broader network around him: financial institutions, scientific circles, government offices, law enforcement agencies, and any public or private actors who may have helped create the conditions that allowed him to operate. The commission has heard testimony from survivors and relatives of victims, including testimony connected to Virginia Giuffre, and it is encouraging additional victims to come forward. The investigation also follows renewed searches of Zorro Ranch by New Mexico authorities earlier this year, using tools such as drones and cadaver dogs, after previously released Epstein records revived questions about possible crimes and overlooked allegations connected to the property. In plain terms: New Mexico is now trying to do what federal authorities never fully did—put Zorro Ranch under a microscope.
