Benavidez, a survivor of Epstein's abuse at his New Mexico ranch, speaks out following renewed investigations into the property’s dark history. Her first public interview highlights the importance of survivors being heard and believed, emphasizing that justice is still possible despite Epstein's death and Maxwell’s imprisonment. The recent release of documents by the Justice Department has reignited interest in uncovering the full extent of misconduct at Zorro Ranch, prompting new criminal and truth commission probes by New Mexico authorities.

The investigation efforts are led by Attorney General Raúl Torrez, who has pledged to pursue every lead and prioritize victim voices. Historically, Epstein’s connections to the ranch, which he bought in 1993, have been overlooked for years, despite allegations of abuse dating back to the 2000s. Cases in Florida, New York, and New Mexico reveal missed opportunities for accountability, with law enforcement often failing to share critical evidence. Survivors like Benavidez are now determined to share their stories, shedding light on the abuse inflicted at the ranch and urging more accountability for those involved.
