Jeffrey Epstein ordered the burial of two ‘foreign girls’ near his ranch after they were strangled to death during ‘rough, fetish sex’, according to an email released in the latest Epstein files.
The email, sent by a person claiming to have worked for Epstein, also includes links purporting to show the late paedophile engaging in sex with underage girls.
The correspondence, first sent to a man named Eddy Aragon on November 21, 2019, before being forwarded onto the FBI , was released as part of three million documents from the Epstein files published by the US Department of Justice on Friday.
In the email, titled ‘Confidential: Jeffrey Epstein’, the person, whose name has been redacted, claimed to have ‘been there and seen it all, as a former staff at the Zorro.’
They alleged the girls were buried on the orders of Epstein and ‘Madam G’, believed to be Ghislaine Maxwell, at Zorro Ranch, the sex offender’s sprawling New Mexico property which has long been reported to have served as one of his private playgrounds for sexual abuse and trafficking.
In the email, they wrote: ‘Edward. This is sensitive, so it will be the first and last email depending on your discretion.
‘You can choose to take it or trash it but this comes from a person that has been there and seen it all, as a former staff at the Zorro.
‘The material below was taken from Jeffrey Epstein home as my insurance in case of future litigation against Epstein. SORRY NO QUESTIONS.
They added: ‘What is damning about Jeffrey Epstein is yet to be written. Did you know somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G? Both died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex.’
The sender also included links to videos which claimed to show Epstein having sex with minors, threesomes and sex with underage girls.
They then demanded a payment of one Bitcoin in return for the video and information.
The email was forwarded onto the FBI just three months after Epstein died while being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.
Documents released as part of the Epstein files also show the paedophile financier intended to leave his Zorro estate to his Belarusian girlfriend Karyna Shuliak.
Epstein bought Zorro Ranch in 1993 from Bruce King, a former three-time New Mexico governor.
The 13 square miles of high desert include a 26,700-square foot luxury estate, guest lodges, staff dwellings and several outbuildings.
It also has a firehouse, horse stables, a seven-bay heated garage, a greenhouse to grow fresh produce, a cattle grazing operation and private air strip, a hangar and a helipad.
Epstein owned the property until his death. His estate listed it in 2021 for $27.5 million.
That price was later dropped to $18 million and the ranch sold for an undisclosed price in 2023 to a limited liability corporation that renamed the property the San Rafael Ranch, but whose owner is shrouded in secrecy.
Epstein used Zorro Ranch as an isolated getaway and playground for VIP guests who were able to come and go more discreetly than they could even to Little St James, his private Caribbean island off St Thomas.
Civil filings claim that the compound hosted the former Prince Andrew, who was accused by Virginia Giuffre who produced photographs and written statements showing she visited the compound during the time she was trafficked as a teenager between 2000 and 2002.
