'El Chapo' Escape News Update & Details: Beauty Queen Wife Key to Track Him Down?

Mexican drug lord's beauty queen wife may just be the answer to track down "El Chapo".

In the latest report by Fox News Latino, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's wife Emma Coronel may be the key to find where the drug kingpin might be hiding. The beauty queen is of Mexican and U.S. dual citizenship and was one of the few people who have permission to visit "El Chapo" while he was locked at the Altiplano maximum-security prison. There are assumptions that the criminal escaped from prison via a tunnel through the help of the Coronel.

Deputy Director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center, Christopher Wilson has speculations that Coronel might be involved with the escape of her husband since she can freely pass on information.

"That in itself points to the possibility that she could have been involved in the coordination of her escape. She was someone who could have been involved in passing along information," Wilson said.

Coronel was also arrested with Guzman back in February 2014 but she was eventually released without charges. The beauty queen wife grew up surrounded by drug trade in Mexico. Her uncle Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel is a key member of the Sinaloa cartel. He also has a close association with Guzman. Before his death back in 2010 because of a gun fight with the Mexican Army, "Nacho" was also known as the "Crystal King" due to his role in the cartel. He was the one who introduced Mexican methamphetamine to the U.S.

In addition to the report, the attorney general's office is expected to release a subpoena for Guzman's wife in order to find clues and track down where the Sinaloa boss might be.

"El Chapo" allegedly fell in love with Coronel when she was just 17-year-old and competing in La Gran Feria del Café y la Guayaba (Festival of Coffee and Guava). The drug lord pursued her for months and the two were married once she turned 18 back in November 2007.

Breitbart reported that to be able to protect their children, Guzman ordered his wife to give birth in California to secure their citizenship. She travelled to California back in the summer of 2012 and gave birth to twin girls at the Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster.

Although Coronel was under watch by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration while she was in California, there were no formal charges filed against her and therefore she returned quietly to Mexico after giving birth.

"This is the woman who is in charge of raising their two kids, so he doesn't want her involved in the cartel. Guzmán - who has been married twice before - knows that his life and freedom are always in danger, but he doesn't want his children to be left without a father and a mother," Wilson said.
