New Mexico Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard recently told Scripps News that she requested an investigation into public land surrounding the ranch after learning about a 2019 email included in newly released Epstein-related documents. The email, sent to a conservative radio host, claimed two girls were buried on public land leased near the ranch. The act was allegedly carried out at the direction of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking.

Asked about the allegation, Huffines said he assumed any investigation had been completed before the sale and would cooperate if authorities pursue additional leads.

That's it kids, we're going to Neverland Ranch this year instead!

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Same business under new management.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

New management that wants to dig new foundations in any locations that pop up in a certain set of files.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

So it'll still be a hotbed for child abuse then?

[–] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 days ago

Meet the New Boss. Same as the Old Boss.

I guess that way they can keep all the baby raping infrastructure in place.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Or keep the bodies hidden

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Fails to mention he has already started unpermitted excavation or his ties to the current regime. Gee i wonder why?

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

they should scan the whole place with ground penetrating radar to see if anything is buried

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I guess they don't need planning permission if they just carry on using it for the same purpose

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 2 points 4 days ago

Gonna put a cross up and a sign: Under New Management

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

So we all visit? Like Jesus would let us visit and look around. Dig a little here and there, bring a radar system, you know?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

So... focus is now on young male sex slaves?

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Great from one pedophile ranch to another one

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 10 points 4 days ago

Same as it ever was

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For catholic priests, maybe...

[–] ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.ca 9 points 4 days ago

So.... pedo island it shall remain then.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I mean... "Epstein Ranch" will get you a killer deal now but when your grandkids sell it and nobody cares anymore its probably a pretty good investment.

A friend of mine bought a murder house renovated and sold it for quadruple his investment 8 years later once nobody cared anymore.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Oh so basically what it already was?

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

So it will stay a whore house

[–] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Was that the ranch that Epstein was going to try to turn into a eugenics ranch? Because that was a thing he was planning on doing.

No really.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I love how you assume anyone would be shocked by that, as of any of us has that much faith in humanity left at this point.

[–] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Gonna tell you something, Eugenics seems to be coming back and that is not a good sign.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

I guess that way you don't have to redecorate the child sex dungeons...

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

So, no changes necessary then?
