New Mexico is launching a bipartisan truth commission in April to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, a remote property where he allegedly committed sex trafficking, despite no federal search or charges. The probe, led by Rep. Andrea Romero, aims to uncover the truth through witness testimony, including from Brice and Karen Gordon, the New Zealand couple who managed the ranch, whose whereabouts are unknown. Though the FBI never raided the site and federal prosecutors asked New Mexico to halt inquiries, lawmakers say the state must act to ensure accountability, especially as survivors recount abuse and powerful figures are linked to the property. The commission will issue subpoenas, gather evidence, and release a final report by December 31, establishing a factual record without pursuing criminal charges.
