New Mexico investigators began a search March 10 of the Zorro Ranch property owned by Jeffrey Epstein after the state reopened a criminal investigation into the site last month.

The state’s attorney general, Raul Torrez, initiated the search, joined by the New Mexico State Police and the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office.
