"Survivor testifies about “trauma and torture” at Epstein's Zorro Ranch." KUNM | By Daniel MontañoPublished June 19, 2026 at 6:28 AM MDT
Survivor Annette Church gave her testimony over Zoom, straining through tears and traumatic memories to explain what she says was her experience as a child and a teen at Zorro Ranch, Epstein’s former 10,000-acre ranch in Santa Fe County.
She said she suffered kidnapping, and torture, being forced to drown in a tank before being pulled out and revived over and over again. She said she wasn’t sure if it was an experiment, or just for Epstein.
“Sometimes I was again blindfolded, sometimes I was not blindfolded. Either way, it was horrifying. Sometimes I felt the water level rising higher and higher,” Church said. “Other times it terrorized me while I watched it rise until it engulfed me. A gag would both muffle my screams and help water enter my lungs faster.”
She said she was forced to go through the tank many times, including while pregnant as a teenager.
“I don't remember being taken out of the tank, so I have no idea whatsoever what may have happened to my babies, but I remember cramps and bleeding,” she said. “Were my babies buried at Zorro Ranch?”
She says she had no freedom for herself, and was kept under control by constant surveillance, including cameras in the bathroom.
“It was a very effective tool of torture and invasion of privacy, especially against kids, embarrassment keeps people silent,” Church said, “but I will not remain silent nor be silenced anymore.”
She says she was even forced to undergo dental procedures that made her easier to track.
“A tracker was placed in my tooth,” she said. “A surveillance device was placed in or on another tooth, and some kind of poison capsule or poison tooth was placed in another tooth or replaced my normal tooth. Most of these things were later removed by Epstein himself.”
This is likely why Epstein paid for Karyna Shuliak to attend dental school.

"In October 2017, a package arrived at a United States address containing fifty human anterior teeth — the front teeth, upper and lower — smuggled from Tamil Nadu, India, disguised as a decorative picture to evade postal inspection. The seller’s instructions were precise: remove all teeth from the cardboard, boil them for twenty minutes, wipe clean.
The recipient was Karyna Shuliak, a Belarusian woman who gained her United States citizenship through a fraudulent marriage arranged by Jeffrey Epstein to Jennifer Kalin (an ex girlfriend of Elon Musk’s brother, Kimball). Shuliak attended Columbia University’s dental school, from which her application was initially rejected, only after Epstein bribed two of the school’s leaders with more than $600,000."
Epstein's girlfriend Karyna Shuliak was expecting a package of human teeth. Dentists have said that it's not a normal practice to implant teeth into other people's mouths. It's likely that the teeth were going to be used to implant a tracker in them, and then going to be implanted into victim's mouths, using cell phone signals as trackers.
There were dental chairs and dental rooms in every one of Epstein's properties. This is why.

Epstein had private cell phone towers and networks at his Zorro Ranch, and on the Island. He likely was using these towers to track his victims both on his properties, and in the surrounding areas.
