🚨 At 9:47 AM, one email changed everything: “I KNOW WHERE.”

Three chilling words. Encrypted. Anonymous. Sent THREE MONTHS after Jeffrey Epstein’s death. The sender claims they’ve been inside his massive 7,600-acre New Mexico ranch… and seen it all.

A Bitcoin wallet address. A deadline. Disturbing details about a “party shower,” an underground room, and areas staff were banned from entering.

The journalist who received it — Eddy Aragon — took it straight to the FBI. They gave it a file number. Then… silence. No raid. No follow-up. Nothing.

Years later, the ranch has been sold. The property managers vanished. The 2019 search warrant was approved… but never executed.

Now, in 2026, New Mexico lawmakers are launching a Truth Commission with subpoena power — and they want to know: Why did the FBI ignore this? What was really hidden on that ranch? And who sent that email… and why didn’t they want money?

This story is far from over. 😱

The full timeline, the email details they’re finally investigating, and what could still be buried in the desert… keep reading below.

More than six years after Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a Manhattan jail cell, New Mexico lawmakers are moving to establish a formal Truth Commission with subpoena power to examine why federal authorities never searched the financier’s sprawling 7,600-acre Zorro Ranch near Stanley, despite credible allegations of abuse occurring there and a never-executed state search warrant.

The proposed commission, which has bipartisan support in the state legislature, aims to investigate the handling of the Zorro Ranch property from 1996 through its sale in 2023, focusing on allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking, the disappearance of property managers shortly after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, and a mysterious encrypted email received in November 2019 by Albuquerque journalist and former mayoral candidate Eddy Aragon.

According to Aragon, the message — sent from an anonymous, encrypted account — arrived at 9:47 a.m. on November 17, 2019, roughly three months after Epstein’s death on August 10, 2019. The subject line contained only three words: “I Know Where.” The body of the email stated that the sender had been present at Zorro Ranch and had “seen it all.” It included a Bitcoin wallet address, a payment deadline, and specific claims about hidden features on the property, including what the sender described as a “party shower,” an underground room, and areas where staff were allegedly forbidden to enter.

Aragon, who had been publicly investigating the ranch for months and had previously reported on Epstein’s New Mexico connections, forwarded the email to the FBI’s Albuquerque field office. According to documents later obtained through public records requests, the tip was assigned file number EFTA00067066. No further action appears to have been taken. There was no raid, no follow-up interview with Aragon, and no public acknowledgment of the tip.

The email’s Bitcoin wallet was later confirmed to be valid and active at the time, yet it received no transactions. This has led investigators and lawmakers to question whether the sender’s motive was financial extortion or something else — possibly an attempt to alert authorities or a journalist without directly exposing themselves.

The Zorro Ranch, located about 30 miles southeast of Santa Fe, was purchased by Epstein in the 1990s and expanded significantly over the years. Court documents and victim statements in related federal cases have alleged that the property was used for illicit activities involving underage girls as far back as 1996. Despite these claims, the ranch was never subjected to a federal search warrant following Epstein’s July 2019 arrest in New Jersey.

In July 2019, a New Mexico state official filed an urgent request for a search warrant, citing “prolonged concealment” of potential evidence. The request was approved by a judge. However, it was never executed. By the time Epstein died in federal custody, the property managers who oversaw daily operations at Zorro Ranch had abruptly left the state. Their whereabouts remain unknown.

In 2021, the ranch was quietly placed on the market. It sold in 2023 to private buyers for an undisclosed sum. Once the title transferred, any possibility of a future search effectively ended.

The lack of action on both the state warrant and the 2019 anonymous tip has fueled long-standing skepticism about the thoroughness of the federal investigation into Epstein’s broader network. While authorities conducted high-profile raids on Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, Palm Beach mansion, and Little St. James island — recovering safes, computers, hard drives, and thousands of images — the New Mexico property was largely left untouched.

In early 2026, New Mexico House and Senate leaders announced plans to create the Zorro Ranch Truth Commission. The proposed body would have the authority to issue subpoenas, compel testimony, and demand documents from former employees, property managers, real estate agents, law enforcement officials, and any federal agencies that interacted with the case. The commission’s primary questions include:

Why was the approved 2019 state search warrant never carried out?
What became of the property managers who left shortly after Epstein’s arrest?
Why did the FBI not act on the November 2019 encrypted tip received by Eddy Aragon?
What evidence, if any, may have been removed or destroyed in the window between Epstein’s arrest and the sale of the ranch?

Supporters of the commission argue that the public has a right to know whether the failure to search Zorro Ranch allowed potential evidence to disappear forever. Critics, including some law enforcement veterans, caution that reopening the matter risks sensationalism without producing new facts, given that Epstein is deceased and the property has changed hands.

Aragon has declined to release the full text of the anonymous email publicly, citing concerns for his own safety and the ongoing legislative process. He has, however, confirmed that the sender provided details about the interior layout of certain buildings that he says would be difficult to know without having been inside.

The proposed Truth Commission is expected to begin hearings in late spring 2026, assuming the necessary legislation passes in the current session. Lawmakers have indicated they intend to invite current and former FBI officials, state police commanders, and any identifiable former Zorro Ranch employees to testify under oath.

For now, the 7,600 acres of high desert land sit quietly under new ownership. But the unanswered questions — about a never-executed warrant, a vanished staff, a mysterious email, and what may still lie buried in the New Mexico soil — continue to haunt those who believe the full scope of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes has never been uncovered.
