The new Netflix series “Griselda” is out now and fans are calling out a few omissions about the cocaine queen dealer’s life that were left out of the film — mainly her relationship with a black man named Charles Crosby.
Blanco served 15 years in federal prison before being released and deported back to her homeland of Colombia where she was eventually assassinated in 2012.
During her incarceration, ex drug dealer Charles Crosby is the only black man known to date or even get close to the Colombian cartel queen.
Crosby was in his early 20’s and Blanco in her late 40’s. The unlikely romance sprung from a pen pal relationship in which Crosby initiated by writing the queenpin a letter.
Mexico drug cartel leader El Chapo’s previous two escapes from Mexican prisons were nothing short of amazing.
I can’t imagine the amount of compliance it takes for a mastermind scheme of that magnitude to be perfectly executed. Now the cartel boss is locked up in Unites States custody in a federal maximum security prison in Colorado.
He recently wrote a letter to the Chicago judge who sent him there accusing the officials of mistreatment, bullying & keeping him on permanent lockdown 23 hours a day because they fear he will slip away again. He also says he is not receiving new attorney documents for new court motions.
According to ABC 7 Chicago, nobody has ever broken out of the super max security facility, which is also referred to as the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” since its opening in 1994.
Do you think El Chapo can pull off another escape plan? I think the US judicial and prison system is a lot different than Mexico. Once the Feds lock in it’s really no escape from that.
