https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/mexico-lawmakers-pass-measure-aimed-230333420.htmlTwo days ago, New Mexico's state House voted unanimously to create a commission to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. Among the probable reasons for the commission's creation was this:
Among the US Justice Departments latest release of millions of pages of documents related to Epstein is a 2019 email sent to Eddy Aragon, the host of a local radio show, that alleged that somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G.
Both died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex, the email claimed. The unverified allegations came from someone who claimed they were a former employee at the ranch. The sender of the email was redacted by the DOJ. Its not clear that those allegations have been investigated by law enforcement.
The current owner has stated that no one has yet investigated the ranch.
HOWEVER, The Meidas Touch reports that, in an interview between Matt Gaetz and the current owner - who is a rabid maga moron - the owner has SUDDENLY undertaken a demolition and renovation project on the ranch. Because he's going to turn it into (drumroll) a Christian children's camp.
&t=3s
So any evidence is likely gone.
And I do have to ask: WHY didn't WE investigate the ranch when WE had the power to do so? I always assumed it was ongoing. Clearly it was not.
Edited to clarify who currently owns the ranch. It's a maga guy, not Gaetz.

Predators birds of prey. They are all pedophiles.
And Don Huffines is currently running for state wide office and is a nazi white supremacist nationalist christian.
Don also bought the ranch sight unseen. He claims he's never ever stepped foot on the property. His wife signed the paperwork and they changed the name of the ranch, and bought it under a LLC to hid who purchased the ranch.

(3,716 posts)... Don Huffines or Matt Gaetz? Gaetz is a known serial philanderer and an Epstein wannabe, but he's a Republican, so he gets a pass.
Seems like the state of New Mexico could legally halt any and all demolition and/or construction to preserve potential evidence, could they not?
These evil monsters have to be put down like the rabid hyenas they are.
muriel_volestrangler
(105,902 posts)Gaetz has a wingnut-welfare show at "One America News Network", and he interviewed Huffines, a former Texas State Senator.
Huffines, who is also running for Texas comptroller, told former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on his One America News Network show Tuesday that turning the ranch into a retreat is the main reason he bought the property. The property, which Huffines has renamed from Zorro Ranch to Rancho de San Rafael, was owned by Epstein for more than two decades until his death. It is located roughly 30 miles outside Santa Fe.
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5743734-huffines-christian-retreat-epstein-ranch/
My first thought was "Gaetz, credibly accused of raping underage girls, bought Epstein's ranch????"
But now, it just seems like the set-up for a bad horror movie - "they thought they were going to a religious retreat. But the sins of the former owner would turn their stay into a nightmare ...".
GiqueCee
(3,716 posts)... I've no doubt that Huffines has a closet of his own that's cram-packed with skeletons. It seems likely that there's no such thing as a Republican that doesn't.

and entrap a whole world-class list of Degenerates.
Putin had the stolen Russian rubles. Epstein could channel funds via targeted Degenerates controlling financial channels. Money then laundered through big real estate investments ....and bankruptcies.
On edit. Check the flight logs/records of planes landing/Taking off from airports within 70 miles while Epstein was on the premise.

Not necessarily.
They would have had to do an awful lot of digging to destroy the evidence. That is, unless the present owner knew where all the bodies were buried.

(30,107 posts)and get the work shut down while the property is under investigation. I read an article on here last week (?) about forensic crime scenes. Things like blood can be surfaced cleaned, but that wont necessarily catch every drop between floorboards. Or a building with, say, a crematorium could be demolished and burned but there may still be traceable chemicals in the surrounding dirt layers that indicate its past use. I hope thats what is going to happen.

(10,823 posts)Jerk that Gaetz is, there is no record of him ever socializing with Epstein. Hes with the Republicans wanting to see all the Epstein files.

(22,085 posts)Early on, I had read that Gaetz was the owner, which apparently is erroneous.
Thus, I'm correcting my post above.

The current creep who owns the ranch is running for office in texas, and his son apparently has a post in the current maladminastration.

(66,071 posts)No offense, but I'm not clicking on nor monetizing any account with that sort of bullshit, ragebait title nor thumbnail (GIANT YELLOW ARROW OMGMGMGMG!!!! lol). I understand that The Outrage Factory feeds on clicks and likes, but they won't be mine.
Any specifics on this demo project, or is it just speculation? Summary?
Yeah, it's fucked up that the Zorro Ranch or whatever the fuck it is now wasn't sealed up for a complete investigation in the 90's when this became Epstein's House of Horrors - West. The guy was ONLY convicted of sex crimes in 2008, shame nobody did shit about it then or since. I just wonder why.

Look, if you're unable or uninterested in providing any information outside of ragebait clickety YouTube monetary nonsense, just say so.

Why buy a ranch for huge bucks and not be interested enough in it to go see what you bought??

(42,861 posts)and that is they recorded everything. Documented everything. Much if not all of what went on there is most likely recorded and stored somewhere. It might very well be in the other millions of documents Pam Batty is protecting with her life.
There has been speculation about snuff films, which I don't know if I believe, but nothing is beyond the pale with this group of people. They never ever, ever in a million years thought they would be held accountable.
Start thinking of their abuse as "inventory," because that's what it is. They did not think of it as a crime. They thought of it as inventory with which they could blackmail and for which they would get tons of $$. That is why following the money is so important in this case.
Wow, recording a murder. Big $$ for that.
