Manuela Escobar is the daughter of the Colombian drug overlord, Pablo Escobar.
She was born in 1984 to Pablo and his wife Maria Victoria Henao in Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas.
She has a sibling named Juan Pablo Escobar who is now known as Sebastian Marroquin. He is an architect and an author.
It is well known that Manuela was very close to her father. Her father had raised her like a princess and would do anything for her.
Pablo once burned $2 million to protect Manuela from hypothermia because they couldn’t go to the hospital as they were on the run.
But not everything Pablo did for his daughter was heartwarming.
He arranged for a cone to be stapled on the head of a horse and wings attached on its back because Manuela wanted a unicorn for her birthday. The horse died in the process.
He also had one of his mistresses abort his baby because he had promised Manuela that she would be the last of his line.
However, the fairytale life came to an end after Pablo was caught and shot dead by the Colombian national police in 1993.
Manuela, her mother and brother fled from countries to countries before finally settling in Argentina.
They even changed their names and lived low-key in order to escape counterattacks from Pablo’s victims. Reportedly, Manuela is now known as Juana Manuela Marroquin Santos.
Manuela’s brother has been making efforts to receive forgiveness from his father’s victims but Manuela has chosen to remain silent.
She has stayed away from media and thus is inactive on any social media sites.
