🚨Dark Secrets of Epstein NM Compound Finally Exposed!!!
Date: February 9, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Episode Overview
In this explosive episode, the Meiselas brothers dive deep into the shocking and little-discussed secrets surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Stanley, Santa Fe County, New Mexico. They dissect newly surfaced emails, expose government inaction, and break down the disturbing evidence of sex trafficking, abuse, and a bizarre eugenics plot at the ranch. The episode is heavy on evidence, speculation, and revealing how prosecutors—and alleged government cover-ups—shielded Epstein's New Mexico activities from scrutiny.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Zorro Ranch: Epstein’s New Mexico Compound
- Location and Scale:
- Occupied about 7,500–10,000 acres in Stanley, Santa Fe County, NM.
- Known as “Zorro Ranch,” owned via the Zorro Trust (Epstein’s trust) (02:10).
- History:
- Acquired by Epstein in 1993. Sold after his death in 2023.
2. Federal Refusal to Investigate
- In 2019, local DA attempted to investigate child sex trafficking and abuse at Zorro Ranch.
- Federal prosecutors explicitly told them not to proceed:
"They were specifically told by the feds, do not go into that ranch. We've got it. We will be handling the investigation. But the feds did nothing."
— [D, 02:43] - Newly released emails:
- Confirmed no subpoenas or property search were issued for Zorro Ranch.
- Assistants referenced sharing details about New York properties but “We have not searched the New Mexico property” (06:45).
3. The Ranch’s Sinister Role
- Beyond the “Island”:
- More sexual abuse, sexual torture, and trafficking may have taken place in NM than at other Epstein properties (03:26).
- Its proximity to Mexico made it an ideal site for trafficking victims, as corroborated by witness accounts:
"...a site of sex trafficking. We now know from hearing Jane Doe's stories torture was taking place in there."
— [D, 03:45] - Eugenics Plot:
- Epstein allegedly planned to “procreate thousands of other Epsteins” by impregnating trafficked girls at the ranch (04:10).
4. Shady Finances: The Zorro Trust & Lottery
- 2008: Zorro Trust allegedly won an $85 million Powerball (06:00).
- Possible Money Laundering?
- Emails suggest Epstein instructed girls on what lottery numbers to pick and discussed potential fraudulent activity (06:22).
"Could it have been that Epstein's connections with government officials gave him the data to win lotteries and make money? I don't know, but I think this is highly, highly suspicious."
— [D, 16:44]
5. Ignored Tips and Staff Red Flags
- Retired NM State Police Officer’s Tip (July 19, 2019):
- Reported a “suspicious” barn at Zorro Ranch with possible concealed incinerator (08:25).
- Noted high-profile visitors and rumors of recruiting local girls.
- Feared evidence was being destroyed.
"...the barn is suspicious as there is a garage door that appears to be a sally port and there is a chimney. This person... is concerned that the property could have potentially have an incinerator concealed within the Barn."
— [D, 09:30] - House Managers Interview (Feb 13, 2007):
- Detailed Epstein's habits, travel, and use of staff and masseuses—interview abruptly ended after staff got a call from “the main office” telling them not to speak with the FBI (11:23).
6. Direct Testimony & Depositions
- Anonymous Staff Blackmail (Nov 21, 2019):
- Claimed to have video evidence, including minors, and described murders of two foreign girls buried on the ranch (15:56).
- Demanded bitcoin for their silence.
- New Zealand Couple Involvement:
- Bryce and Karen Gordon, former ranch managers, now possibly being subpoenaed in a New Mexico truth commission (18:15).
7. Truth Commission and Legal Loopholes
- New Mexico Truth Commission:
- Proposed bipartisan commission in NM House to finally investigate the Zorro Ranch and subpoena witnesses (19:00).
- Sex Offender Registration Loopholes:
- Epstein did not have to register as a sex offender in New Mexico due to a legal technicality, even after his 2007 plea (20:18).
"We don't want offenders to look around the country and think 'Where can I move and no longer have to be treated in this way?'"
— Rep. Matthew McQueen, [D, 21:00]
8. Victims’ First-Hand Accounts
- Testimonies at Ghislaine Maxwell Trial:
- “Jane Doe” first accuser met Epstein at 14; sent to ranch, repeatedly abused (22:10).
- Annie Farmer: Given a nude massage at 16 by Maxwell, abused by Epstein the next morning.
- Jane Doe:
“I just remember someone at one point just came into my room and said Jeffrey wants to see you... I did not want to go see him."
— [D, 23:45] - Virginia Giuffre: Sexually assaulted and trafficked at the ranch; claims she was trafficked to powerful men and politicians in New Mexico.
- High-Profile Guests:
- Emails reference Peter Thiel possibly visiting the ranch (17:06).
- Testimony mentions Donald Trump being introduced to a Jane Doe at the ranch (28:56).
9. Federal and State Jurisdictional Issues
- Email Trail Shows:
- Federal prosecutors told NM Attorney General to halt investigation, promising to pass info after their own federal case—then did nothing (26:05).
"We agree that they were free to proceed with whatever other investigation unrelated to sex trafficking they may have... we would pass along any information... We have not communicated with anyone from the NM Attorney General’s office since that conversation in July 2019."
— [D, 26:29] - Federal Lead Attorney:
- Maureen Comey (James Comey’s daughter) was involved in directing NM not to proceed.
