March 10 (UPI) -- Authorities in New Mexico began an investigation this week into the Zorro Ranch, a property near Santa Fe that was once owned by late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The investigation was launched at the direction of state Attorney General Raúl Torrez.
"The New Mexico Department of Justice appreciates the cooperation of the current property owners in granting access for the search and extends its thanks to the ranch staff for their professionalism," the New Mexico Department of Justice said in a statement.
In the most recent tranche of Epstein files released in mid-February by the U.S. Department of Justice, some documents prompted Torrez to reopen the investigation, The Hill reported.
