 'Godmother of Cocaine' Gunned Down in Colombia: ReportsEnlarge Photo   ABC News - 'Godmother of Cocaine' Gunned Down in Colombia: Reports (ABC News)     
A 69-year-old woman known throughout the drug world as the "Godmother of Cocaine" was gunned down by an assassin on a motorcycle in Colombia Monday, according to international news reports.
 
Griselda Blanco, once listed alongside Pablo Escobar as one of the "most notorious drug lords of the 1980s" by the Drug Enforcement Administration, was fatally shot as she left a butcher's shop in western Medellin Monday afternoon, according to a report by Univision and El Colombiano. Colombia's El Espectador reported authorities are looking for Blanco's killers and are investigating possible motives for the killing.
 
Blanco served nearly 20 years in an American prison on drug trafficking charges and was at one point tied to as many as 40 murders in the U.S., according to a 1997 Senate testimony given by then-director of DEA international operations Michael Horn. Horn said that Blanco ordered a Florida mall shooting in 1979 that left two dead and four injured, and she apparently enjoyed her line of work.
 
"To foster her reputation as the 'Godmother' of cocaine, [Blanco] named her fourth son Michael Corleone, after the fictional mob character portrayed in the movie 'The Godfather,'" Horn said.
 
Court documents filed in 1988, three years after Blanco was caught, detail the shadowy, decade-long hunt for the queenpin that involved federal agents chasing false identities and checking Miami hospitals for gunshot wound victims that matched Blanco's description. But she wasn't able to elude them forever and after being captured in 1985 in Irvin, Calif. and serving nearly two decades behind bars in America, Blanco was released from prison and deported back to Colombia in 2004.
 
The DEA referred all inquiries into Blanco's death to Colombian authorities, telling ABC News, "she served her time here." The Colombian National Police did not immediately respond to requests for comment for this report.

How unfortunate.

Man you just got to love karma.  One less piece of garbage on the face of the earth.  Unfortunately there was probably 10 more that took her place.

I think the money statement is about right. About 7 or 8 years ago I transported one of her relatives back and forth to Federal court. The girl and her boyfriend lived in a mansion and had a duplex on their property. They would pick up homeless people that were eligible for social security. Get them enrolled and provide housing, drugs and alcohol but no food. Their rent was their ss check. They would starve to death and the check would still be rolling in month after month. I think it was 16 they found buried at the duplex. Her boyfriend hung himself on sentencing day (was American). The girl was deported back to Columbia with a sentence of life in prison if she ever returned. She wasn't worried about the dead homeless people or her dead boyfriend that she learned about minutes before. Her only concern was the 22 million the govt confiscated. She told the judge that her aunt would kill her if she went back to Columbia without it. Assuming it was drug money. The agents had said they were investigating a drug ring and what charges came about fell into their laps. But they hit a brick wall with the initial investigation from their superiors. All they could charge with was manslaughter for not providing proper living conditions.
