Cops have swooped in on a New Mexico ranch that formerly belonged to the infamous paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in search of two bodies belonging to a pair of young girls who are believed to have been killed there.
Rumours have long gone around suggesting that the young girls had been killed during violent sex sessions at the 7500 acre property, and now law enforcement are reportedly confident of making a ground-breaking discovery.
While the identities of the girls is not known, nor is their exact ages, police apparently believe that if bodies can be found they will be identifiable.
The New Mexico estate, which was called Zorro ranch when it was under the ownership of the paedophile Epstein, is situated outside the town of Stanley, around 30 miles south of the state capital Santa Fe.
Officials belonging to the New Mexico Department of Justice starting searching the area on Monday, and are being supported by the local sheriff’s office in their efforts.
Protests criticising the authorities for supposed inaction also took place at the same time.
A New Mexico official who forms part of a truth commission into the alleged crimes criticised the fact that this action had not come sooner.
‘We have heard years of allegations and rumours about Epstein’s activities in New Mexico, but unfortunately, federal investigations have failed to put together an official record,’ said commission member Andrea Romero.
‘With this truth commission, we can finally fill in the gaps by investigating the failures that led to the horrific allegations of abuse and crime at Zorro Ranch, so we can learn from them and prevent such atrocities from taking place in our state going forward.’
Speaking to the BBC, Romero revealed that evidence of alleged killings and burials can be traced back to at least 2019.
“We are learning that there may have been reports to the FBI, back in 2019 or prior to, of bodies being buried, of folks being trafficked”, she revealed, although limited information on the nature of these reports has been published.
Epstein bought the ranch from former New Mexico governor Bruce King in 1993, and after his 2019 death in a New York prison cell, the estate went up at auction for $23.1 million, although this was later reduced to $18 million.
