New Mexico authorities have descended on Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico after a campaign to investigate the “macabre and strange” claims about the property.

The pedophile millionaire plotted to use the ranch as a baby factory to seed the Earth with more perfect humans, according to reports. He also allegedly buried the victims of deadly sex games there, filmed horrific child porn and had a bizarre labyrinthine garden that is now a massive hole in the ground.

Despite the horrifying claims about Zorro Ranch, there had never been a thorough search of the property by law enforcement.

Much of the new push to turn over the 33,000-square-foot compound came from a local radio host who received a horrifying tipoff in November 2019 — just three months after Epstein killed himself.

Eddy Aragon has spent the years since investigating the claims about Zorro Ranch, and he believes the secrets the property holds will horrify the world.

“This is way beyond just burying bodies at Zorro Ranch. This is something far more macabre and strange than you think or have thought of,” he recently told the Santa Fe New Mexican.

“These are things if I were to say them would make me seem crazy or conspiratorial, and it’s not,” he added.

He was the one who received the anonymous email about the compound.

“Did you know somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G?” the message said, referring to Epstein’s paramour Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Both died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex,” the email added. “What is damning about Jeffrey Epstein is yet to be written.”

Maxwell, who is serving federal prison time after she was convicted of sex trafficking charges, has not been charged with any crimes related to deaths at Zorro Ranch.

The letter — claiming to have been written by a ranch employee who “has been there and seen it all” — didn’t include further details about the deaths, but demanded Aragon pay one bitcoin, worth about $6,500 at the time, to an anonymous digital wallet within a day in return for a USB full of damning information.

Aragon didn’t pay, but forwarded the note to the FBI, saying that it “could be real.”

It remains unclear whether the FBI ever investigated the tip, but on Monday — more than six years later — Zorro Ranch was swarmed by New Mexico police in one of the first major searches of the property since Epstein’s lascivious world was exposed to the public.

The home — about 30 miles south of Santa Fe — has since been sold to by the family of former Texas state Sen. Don Huffines, who are cooperating fully with the investigation.

Its final sale price is unknown, but it was listed for around $18 million shortly before the sale.

It remains unclear what investigators are doing on the property since they arrived, but chunks of the land have already been dug up since the home was sold in 2023 — with recent photos showing a deep hole in the ground where the mazelike garden the size of the palatial house once sprawled.

And while Aragon never heard back from the FBI about the tipoff, his own reporting has led him to believe investigators could find paradigm-changing information about the Epstein scandal.

He said he knows which former Epstein staffer — who said they had taken information about the bodies and damning videos of the pedo as “insurance in case of future litigation” — sent the email.
