New Mexico official urges probe into claim of bodies near Epstein ranch

Source: Santa Fe New Mexican

New Mexico State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard wants state and federal justice departments to investigate whether two girls were buried years ago near Jeffrey Epstein’s ranch in Santa Fe County.

In a letter Tuesday to First Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison and New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, Garcia Richard cited an anonymous allegation from 2019 included in the recently released U.S. Department of Justice files on Epstein.

“It is important that [the State Land Office] be informed of any wrongdoing that may have occurred on lands the agency is responsible for managing,” Garcia Richard wrote.

Epstein, the sex offender and financier who died in federal custody in New York in 2019, owned the sprawling Zorro Ranch in southern Santa Fe County near Stanley, adjacent to state trust lands. A proposal working its way through the New Mexico Legislature would create a “truth commission” to investigate any potential crimes Epstein might have committed at the ranch.

at some point for use at his New Mexico ranch. It's not a stretch of the imagination to believe it could have been used to obliterate a couple of bodies along with all traces of evidence (which it does).

It's long overdue.

In some reporting of the last couple days, probably MeidasTouchNetwork, someone was reading from some affidavit stating that there was suspicion of an incinerator installed in a new outbuilding shortly after Epstein bought the place so he may have cremated the remains of victims. Something to consider.

I'll look for the video where I saw that.

Probably boys that were his victims but the dead bodies of unwanted babies. You know they don't believe in abortions.

She gave birth to a baby on a yacht and one of the Pedo's threw the newborn overboard. So, yeah, they would let them go through birth. The cruelty is the turn on.

There are allegations in the trumpstein files of Epstein wanting to create a superior gene pool by altering dna. A girl claims she was forced to carry a baby for them and after it was born they took it away. She stated a doctor and G Maxwell were in attendance. Now this is making me wonder about the obgyn at OSU that is in the news for receiving secret payments from Epstein. I don’t like conspiracy theories but this is not beyond the realm, given the endless amounts of $$ available to these people and a supply of young girls to use for their disgusting purposes.

Secret payments to an obgyn rises above conspiracy theory—-it’s an investigative lead.
