Hopkins is correct: when a property is tied to years of serious allegations, it is not just land — it is potential evidence. Zorro Ranch should be treated as a forensic question, not a political inconvenience. Warrants, preservation orders, ground-penetrating radar, documented chain of custody — that is how serious investigations are conducted. Anything less invites doubt.
He is also correct that half-measures erode trust. History shows accountability fails not because evidence never existed, but because it was never fully pursued. When power enters the equation, hesitation follows — and hesitation is where credibility dies.
Forensics does not presume guilt. It establishes fact. If institutions want the public to move on, the only way forward is through exhaustive, transparent investigation. On that point, Hopkins is absolutely right: science, not secrecy, is how you close a chapter like this.
There are recent videos online, taken by drones, that show construction equipment working and moving dirt around in a large garden area at Zorro Ranch. It's happening now.
And to use my favorite Mike Ehrmentraut quote, “You know what the difference is between someone who gets caught and someone who gets away with it? Witnesses”.
Our home was built over a century ago. Before we moved in we tore out all the old carpet and in the one bedroom there was a linoleum covering. And under that an area that could only be blood. Nothing nefarious as far as we know. It took days of scrubbing the pine floor. But if anybody ever wanted evidence, all they have to do is cut out a portion of the floor. I have no doubt blood evidence still exists.
I long wondered why Zorro Ranch was not treated as a crime scene and thoroughly investigated. It could only be the vile molesters and many that halted the investigation because they didn't want crimes and evidence uncovered. I certainly hope the interest arising in Zorro will be cause for this crime scene to be properly investigated by trained technicians with advanced tools, determination, and grit. So that chain of custody be maintained and evidence secured for possible prosecution, but certainly to confirm the horrors that took place. I also heard a podcast with Lisa Phillips regarding a golf course in California that Trump owns or owned and at least a couple of possible burials there. This should also be on the check list for investigation. Thanks Jack , for keeping this door open.
Fascinating information. I’ve always admired what forensic investigators do but had no idea how far new techniques have come. I hope the best ones get into the Zorro Ranch asap. #HoldFast
I learn more every single day.. Zorro Ranch is evidence and now there’s construction going on.. of course construction is going on.. methinks to destroy evidence.

Have to take stock in the understanding that when rushed, people destroying evidence make mistakes. Always.

Sometimes you just have to dig deeper.

But who could we trust to do this now?
(I mean that as a serious question, not just a snark...is there any law enforcement or investigative body that could do this and be trusted?)

New Mexico is run by Democrats. Perhaps their Attorney General could investigate in the manner Jack suggests??👹
This was incredibly interesting. Thank you!
Bipartisan pressure can be brought here.
I’m looking forward to seeing every reason thrown at us, as to why there’s absolutely no need for an investigation into Zorro ranch.
I learn more every single day.. Zorro Ranch is evidence and now there’s construction going on.. of course construction is going on.. methinks to destroy evidence.
You could write fabulous procedural mystery novels! But this is great info.

Provocative. I hope it stirs some interest. Thank you for continuing to keep my hopes up.
Earth doesn’t lie in the cries of “Why?”
I read today that the state of New Mexico passed a law with Money attached to investigate Zorro ranch.
Fingers crossed they stop what ever is going on and can do a proper , legal thorough investigation there and maybe one can happen in California.

Great explanation Jack. We have seen this happen in Florida several times and hope it it happens properly at Zorro Ranch

It boggles the mind that we even have to THINK about stuff like this now — and that it’s plausible!
