New Search at Epstein's NM Ranch

0:00The latest international headlines, politics and world affairs, right here on Global News Today. Investigators in New Mexico kicked off a search this week at Jeffrey Epstein's former ranch, a spot accused of being the site of sexual abuse against women and girls. The high plane's property sits about 30 miles south of Santa Fe, and state authorities are acting on fresh leads from federal documents released in January. The attorney general reopened the probe last month after those files surfaced, including a claim that Epstein ordered the burial of two foreign girls. Bodies and nearby hills. New Mexico had dropped its earlier investigation back in 2019 at the Fed's request, leaving many questions unanswered. Public frustration runs high over the case, with polls showing most Americans see it as proof that wealthy elites' dodge accountability. It's stir political tensions, too, especially around Epstein's high profile connections to leaders, business figures, and others who visited the ranch.

1:00In a big step, the state launched the country's first truth commission last month to dig into possible corruption that let Epstein run operations. There for 26 years until his death, the ranch sold in 2023 to a Texas buyer who renamed it and is now fully cooperating with the search. State officials spotted police, fire crews, and even search dogs on site Monday. They vow to keep updating the public, back survivors, and chase every lead no matter where it goes.
