Reading the Journal鈥檚 Aug. 5 article on the Epstein truth commission鈥檚 findings was sickening. For 26 years, Jeffrey Epstein maintained a presence in New Mexico. He was registered as a sex offender in Florida starting in 2008, yet in New Mexico he was never declared as such, never meaningfully questioned, never investigated and never shut down. An estimated 30 women were victimized at Zorro Ranch. That is not a mere oversight; it is a systemic failure that allowed a known predator to operate with impunity.

This pattern of neglect is not limited to one infamous man or one famous ranch. New Mexico has a long, painful record of failing to protect its most vulnerable women and girls, especially Indigenous women. The rate of missing and murdered Indigenous women here is higher than the national average. The Bureau of Indian Affairs estimates roughly 4,200 Indigenous women and girls are missing or murdered in cases that remain unsolved. That staggering number is not just a statistic 鈥� it represents mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, cousins and friends whose lives have been stolen and whose families have been left without answers.

In response, Indigenous women and their allies have led the Red Hand campaign, tirelessly working to bring visibility to a crisis that the broader public and our institutions have too often ignored. I see you: the mothers who organize searches, the aunties who hold vigils, the sisters who tape posters to light poles and refuse to let the world forget. They are doing the emotional labor, the investigative work and the advocacy that our systems should be doing.

We cannot talk about New Mexico鈥檚 neglect of women without mentioning the West Mesa murders. In 2009, the remains of 11 women were discovered on the West Mesa in Albuquerque. More than a decade later, not a single person has been charged. Eleven women discarded in the desert like trash, and still no accountability.

Over and over, the pattern repeats: a public outcry, a commission, a task force, a press conference and then 鈥� nothing. Reports are written, recommendations are issued and the families of victims are left no closer to justice. We don鈥檛 need more committees, commissions or investigations that vanish into filing cabinets and political talking points. We need action. We need to identify the people responsible, locate the missing women, solve these murders and build systems that prevent such atrocities from happening again.

When will we care enough about New Mexico鈥檚 women and the families who mourn them to get serious? Serious means fully funding specialized investigative units, coordinating across tribal, local, state and federal jurisdictions, and treating every disappeared woman as someone whose life mattered.

New Mexico cannot claim to be a place of culture, beauty and community while its women lie missing, murdered and forgotten. Our measure as a state will be how fiercely we protect them 鈥� and how relentlessly we pursue justice when we fail.
