El Chapo attempted to dig a second escape tunnel after his capture in 2016

Odd noises, suspicious behavior led to the tunnel's discovery

Published on Thursday, July 18, 2019

Mexico’s most famous drug lord, already renowned for building one escape tunnel, was planning another three years ago in a bid to make a third escape from jail after he was captured in January 2016.

Nuevo León prison official Eduardo Guerrero Durán told the state news agency Notimex that a second tunnel was found at the Altiplano federal prison in México state, where the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel was incarcerated following his arrest on January 8, 2016 in Los Mochis, Sinaloa.

Six months earlier, “El Chapo” had escaped from the same prison via a 1.6-kilometer-long tunnel that led to the bathroom in his cell.

Guerrero said that after the second tunnel was discovered, Guzmán – who was entenced in a New York court yesterday to life imprisonment – was transferred to a penitentiary in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, before he was extradited to the United States in January 2017.

The tunnel was detected after prison staff noticed noises emanating from Guzmán’s bathroom, to which the notorious drug lord went frequently, the official explained.

While in the bathroom, Guzmán would repeatedly flush the toilet.

As a result of the noises and suspicious behavior, a study of the soil beneath the prison was carried out and the second tunnel was found.

There was also a reference during Guzmán’s trial of his wish to make another prison escape after his 2016 capture.

Dámaso López, a former Sinaloa Cartel leader who was previously a security chief at the Jalisco prison from which “El Chapo” escaped in 2001, testified that Guzmán’s wife, Emma Coronel, approached him to discuss a third prison break.

“My comadre [female friend] sought me out to tell me that my compadre [buddy] wanted to escape again, [to ask] if I would help him again,” López told jurors.

It is unclear whether he was involved in planning the excavation of the second tunnel.

El Chapo mistress flips on him in court, exposes secrets of his naked escape through Mexican sewer as wife listens

"In her scintillating testimony, Sánchez said she was lying beside the womanizing narco around 3 a.m. on Feb. 16, 2014, when loud noises startled her awake.

“I heard, like, a lot of thumps and helicopters. I heard yelling,” she recalled.

Right outside the gated two-story property, complete with a swimming pool, the elite team of U.S. and Mexican forces was trying to break down the fortified door with a battering ram.

“They’re on us! They’re on us!” Chapo’s associate Carlos Manuel (Condor) Hoo Ramirez yelled as Chapo, whose real name is Joaquín Guzmán Loera, started running around in a panic, Sánchez said.

She said Chapo, completely nude, called her to the bathroom where Condor and a maid were standing around the tub.

Prior trial testimony revealed Chapo had a secret button behind a mirror that raised the tub to reveal a hidden entrance to a labyrinth of underground passages.

“There was like a lid on the bathtub that came up,” Sánchez testified. “I was like, ‘Do I have to go in there?…The entire tub was hollow underneath…It had a kind of a hydraulic (lift) — they call it a piston.”

Sánchez said she followed Chapo’s directions and climbed into the void.

“The first thing I saw was wooden steps,” she said. “I heard (Chapo) say to Condor, ‘Close up the tub.’”

Sánchez said “complete darkness” swallowed them once the hatch was closed.

“For me, it was horrible because I had never been in a place like that. It was a humid place with mud,” she told the jury.

She said Chapo and Condor used a steel wheel to open another hatch that led to the sewers.

Chapo ran ahead alone, she said, with the others following close behind.

Sánchez said they spent about an hour slogging through the sewer system, sometimes wading through putrid water reaching up to their thighs.

“(It was) enough to traumatize me,” she said.

Oklahoma man accused of raping child in McDonald’s bathroom

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. (AP) — A 37-year-old Oklahoma man has been jailed on rape complaints after authorities said he sexually assaulted a 4-year-old girl in a bathroom at a McDonald’s play area, which the child was visiting during a day care field trip.

Midwest City police say a day care worker knocked on the locked bathroom door Tuesday after the girl didn’t return promptly. A police affidavit says a man eventually came out and said, “I was just washing my hands.”

The child told workers the man, identified as Joshua Kabatra, sexually assaulted her.

Kabatra remains jailed in Oklahoma City, and court records don’t list an attorney who can speak on his behalf. McDonald’s said in a statement that it’s “deeply disturbed” by the allegations and that it’s cooperating with police.
