her rare picture:
Blanco, who was among the first Colombians to smuggle cocaine
from Colombia to the United States, was linked to nearly 40 homicides, the
Miami Herald reported. According to the paper, Blanco was only convicted of
three murders, including the killing of a 2-year-old boy in Miami.
Former Miami homicide detective Nelson Andreu told reporters,
"It's surprising to all of us that she had not been killed sooner because
she made a lot of enemies. When you kill so many and hurt so many people like
she did, it's only a matter of time before they find you and try to even the
score."
