We found letters from mothers offering up their daughters for sex with the drug lord. “He had every wanted poster that had ever been issued against him in Colombia and just about every article that had appeared about him in his files,” Peña says in the book. It turns out their fugitive embraced his outlaw image. When we had the film developed, we found pictures of Escobar, which we turned into wanted posters,” Peña writes. “In his adjoining office, we found a film canister in the trash.

Suddenly, in a shrewd move, Escobar surrendered in 1991 and agreed to a five-year jail term. But personal details about the man himself were elusive. Peña learned much about Escobar’s operation in the year and a half they spent searching for him in Colombia in the early 1990s.
