Manuela Escobar’s Life 

Manuela Escobar Early Life

Manuela was born in the year 1984, exactly the time when her father was shaping up as the King of Cocaine and the most powerful drug dealer in the world. It was believed that Pablo Escobar had so much money that he could run a couple of countries from his personal net worth. Manuela had one older sibling, Juan Pablo, who was born in 1977.

Since Manuela was just a child when her father became the “King of Cocaine,” she probably didn’t know exactly what he did for a living. But she did know that her father would do anything to put a smile on her face. Despite Pablo Escobar’s violent reputation, he had a soft spot for his daughter. And at the height of his power, his Medellin Cartel brought in as much as $70 million per day. This meant that he was willing and was the potential to buy anything his daughter ever wanted.

Pablo Escobar could just do anything for her daughter and the narratives we hear about Pablo’s gesture towards his daughter were evident enough to know how precious she was to him. Manuela Escobar asked her father for a unicorn. So instead of telling her that unicorns weren’t real, the drug lord allegedly ordered his employees to buy a white horse and staple a “horn” onto its head and “wings” onto its back.

The animal later died of a gruesome infection. And when Pablo Escobar’s life of crime began to catch up with him, he did whatever it took to keep his daughter safe. When the family was hiding out from the authorities in the mountains of Colombia in the early ’90s, he allegedly burned $2 million in cash to keep his daughter warm. 

Life after Pablo Escobar’s Death:

In 1993, Pablo Escobar died as violently as he lived. He was encountered by the Colombian National Police and was gunned down to death. Shortly after the kingpin’s demise, Manuela Escobar, her brother Juan Pablo, and her mother Maria Victoria Henao all quickly fled Colombia, where they knew they would no longer be welcome.

They tried to seek help from many counties but none were willing to offer any help to the Escobar family because of Pablo’s deeds. Additionally, Cali Cartel was demanding millions of dollars in reparations for Escobar’s crimes against them.

The family tried to seek refuge in Mozambique, South Africa, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil, before finally settling in Argentina in late 1994, after a year of hardship. The Escobar family, felt as if their past is before them but that was not the case as in 1994, Maria Victoria Henao (who often went by “Victoria Henao Vallejos”) and Juan Pablo (who often went by “Sebastián Marroquín”) were suddenly arrested.

Pablo Escobar’s wife and son had been accused of falsifying a public document, money laundering, and illicit association. Manuela Escobar is the only member of her family who has never been accused of a single crime. But despite her clean record, she has never been able to escape the shadow of her father’s atrocities. She has tried to live a life away from the spotlight but that is not so easy for her. 

Manuela Escobar Current Living Situations

Her life after her father’s death and the rough patch they had to go through before actually settling down in Argentina, had taken a tough toll on Manuela’s mind and soul. Also, after her mother’s and brother’s arrest for which they were released very soon due to the lack of evidence, she lived a life full of fear.

She soon began to live in fear of someone coming after her relatives and seeking revenge on them because of her father’s crimes. She also sank into a deep depression. Still, her mother and brother slowly re-entered the spotlight. By now, both of them have written books and spoken freely to the press about their personal lives with Pablo Escobar.

But Manuela has refused to participate at all. To this day, she remains in hiding and avoids the public around her despite of being the most innocent person of the Escobar family.

Today, Manuela Escobar is one of the most famous recluses in the world. But according to her loved ones, there is a tragic reason why she shuns publicity. Ever since 1999, Pablo Escobar’s daughter has had several depressive episodes. And her mental health has apparently worsened and she is still healing from it. Manuela prefers to be around family members and closed ones only. She avoids public gatherings.
