Epstein ranch in New Mexico bought by family of 'Trump Republican' candidate

[Uncle Joe]

Property where abuse took place purchased for $13.4m in 2023 by Texas businessman Donald Huffines’ family

In 2023, San Rafael Ranch LLC, created by the Huffines, bought the nearly 10,000-acre (4,000-hectare) property – then known as the Zorro ranch – for an undisclosed price. Previously the buyers had been private, as New Mexico allows anonymous ownership of private property through LLCs.

The ranch was initially valued at $21.1m for the 2023 tax year, a figure the Huffines argued was overstated in part due to its “notoriety”; Santa Fe county then reassessed the value of the property to just $13.4m. Court records obtained by the New Mexican connected the LLC to Mary Catherine Huffines, who is listed as the “client/property owner”.

Huffines is currently the frontrunner for the GOP comptroller primary race in Texas, according to recent polling reported by the Texas Tribune. He is campaigning to “DOGE Texas government”, a reference to the controversial so-called department of government efficiency, once run by Elon Musk, which conducted chaotic mass federal workforce layoffs and cancelled billions in federal contracts and grants.

Recent Guardian reporting shed further light on the role of Epstein’s ranch in his years of sex trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The Zorro ranch was a place where powerful men allegedly visited, including a former governor of the state. It was also the alleged setting for Epstein’s previously reported plans to spread his DNA across the human race by impregnating as many women as possible. Newly released photos showed that at various times the late French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, linguist Noam Chomsky and film-maker Woody Allen were guests.

1. Sounds like a crime scene to me

Along with Dump's golf courses -- release the bloodhounds!

3. The same M.O. of hiding crime scenes as was used in Minnesota

when they cut out local law enforcement from investigating the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

In the case of New Mexico they never investigated that site during Epstein's sweetheart deal with Acosta.

5. Absolutely it is. And creepy as hell that a major Repug controls it.

2. Hoping that somehow, someway, the people of Texas will wakeup and stop electing people like this?? ☮

4. Get some forensics teams and cadaver dogs in there

One whistleblower says there are at least 2 dead bodies buried in the hills around the ranch.
