A Daily Mail investigation has put fresh attention on two New Zealanders who spent years managing Jeffrey Epstein’s remote Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and his private island in the Virgin Islands.
New Mexico has approved a formal new inquiry, created a bipartisan commission and begun searching the former property after renewed pressure and newly available material.
Brice and Karen Gordon may have been close enough to Epstein’s operations to become important witnesses. The Gordons, both New Zealand-born and described in multiple reports as former members of the New Zealand Defence Force, managed ranch and island logistics for years and are now being treated by New Mexico investigators as people of interest who may be subpoenaed to testify.
According to the Daily Mail, Brice Gordon handled ranch operations, firearms arrangements and high-level visitor logistics, while Karen Gordon oversaw household management and interior operations.
Newly unsealed Justice Department material reportedly places their names throughout internal correspondence tied to Zorro Ranch and Little St. James.
Reuters and AP both report that the renewed New Mexico investigation is focused on whether Epstein abused girls and young women at the ranch and whether more evidence can now be uncovered.
The Gordons’ current whereabouts are not publicly confirmed, and both investigators and media reports have indicated they have been unable to locate them.
