Major updates have emerged in the investigation tied to Jeffrey E.’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, along with developments involving Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor). In Iowa, 56 fraternity pledges were found in a dark basement blindfolded and covered in unknown substances after authorities responded to a fire alarm at a fraternity house.
