SANTA FE, New Mexico — A New Mexico commission investigating the activities of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein at his Zorro Ranch has issued its first round of subpoenas, seeking records from federal agencies, financial institutions, and Epstein’s estate.
The bipartisan New Mexico Truth Commission announced that it has issued 14 subpoenas as part of an effort to examine allegations of sex trafficking, abuse, and potential misconduct connected to Epstein’s sprawling ranch near Stanley, New Mexico. Among the entities receiving subpoenas are Deutsche Bank, the FBI, and other organizations believed to possess records relevant to the investigation.
Commission members say the inquiry is focused not only on alleged crimes committed at the ranch but also on identifying the individuals, institutions, and networks that may have enabled Epstein to operate in New Mexico for more than two decades.
Survivors, including Rachel Benavidez, have testified before the commission, while relatives of Virginia Giuffre have also provided information regarding allegations connected to the property. The panel is reviewing testimony and evidence to determine whether criminal referrals or additional legal actions may be warranted.
New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez has encouraged additional survivors and witnesses to come forward as the investigation continues. Commission officials say the inquiry could have broader implications if evidence emerges involving influential public figures or organizations.
The investigation also highlights ongoing efforts by local residents and advocates to memorialize Epstein’s alleged victims. A memorial near Zorro Ranch has reportedly been vandalized multiple times but has repeatedly been rebuilt by supporters.
The commission has not announced a timeline for completing its work, and the investigation remains ongoing.
