Notorious Beltran Leyva cartel leader Edgar Valdez Villareal, also known as "La Barbie," has mysteriously vanished from the U.S. federal prison system. Here's what the Bureau of Prisons said about it.
One of the most famous drug traffickers in Mexico is no longer listed as being in federal custody just four years after he was convicted on a number of charges and sentenced to 49 years in prison.
Edgar Valdez Villarreal, 49, is no longer in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons - the federal corrections system - and the Biden administration is yet to explain why. He was due to serve 49 years.
Six human heads and some dismembered bodies were found on a parked car in the municipality of Chilapa de Alvarez in Mexico's state of Guerrero on Thursday.
