hERE IS A BIO
Griselda Blanco (b. February 15, 1943), also known as la Madrina, the Godmother, the Black Widow and the Cocaine Queen of Miami, was a drug lord and pioneer in the Miami-based cocaine drug trade and underworld. Blanco was known for her absolute ruthlessness and sociopathic behavior.
Blanco is believed to have been born in 1943 in Cartagena, Colombia to a poor family. At 11, she commited her first murder by kidnapping and trying to rob a rich kid in the rich part of her slum. She shot him right between his eyes. Her father left long before Blanco could remember and her mother became an alcoholic. Her mother would beat Blanco often until one day it was so bad Blanco left and never returned. She then became a child prostitute at the age of 12. She emigrated to the United States and settled in Queens, New York City, in the mid-1970s, where she began her career in drug smuggling. After being indicted in New York, Blanco fled to Miami, where she expanded her operations and developed a reputation for being bloodthirsty, eccentric and a ruthless businesswoman. At her zenith, Blanco's personal fortune was estimated to be over a billion dollars. She was well known for absolute extravagance and was a regular collector of fine art and jewels. She was known to favor Haute couture. She was the seller of most of the cocaine in the Miami area
Blanco is widely credited with much of the drug-related violence known as the Cocaine Cowboy Wars that plagued Miami in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when cocaine supplanted marijuana. Ironically, Blanco's violent business style brought much unwanted government scrutiny to South Florida, leading to the demise of her organization and the free-wheeling, high profile Miami drug scene of those times. She is thought to have masterminded over 200 murders during this time in the Dade County area in Miami, Florida.

Family life
Blanco was married three times and is believed to be a black widow, responsible for all three of her husbands' deaths (murdered) by professional contract killers. She had four sons, the youngest of whom she named after the fictional character Michael Corleone played by Al Pacino in the movie trilogy The Godfather. Blanco's three eldest sons were eventually deported to Colombia and murdered shortly after their arrival. Michael Corleone Blanco currently owns a successful record label in Miami called Xtorxion Records.

Downfall
Blanco fled from the authorities in Miami and relocated in California, where she was later captured by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Somewhere around this time, she switched her base of operations to Irvine, CA, where she lived like an ordinary housewife with her youngest son, Michael Corleone Sepulveda. In 1985, Blanco was arrested in Irvine on narcotics trafficking charges by the man who had tracked her relentlessly for years, D.E.A. Agent Bob Palumbo. Blanco was extradited to Florida. She spent nearly 20 years in prisons in the United States and was released on June 6, 2004, then immediately deported back to Colombia.
In the July 2008 issue of Maxim, it was written that an email from a friend was sent to the director of the film Cocaine Cowboys that contained a picture of Griselda Blanco, who was last seen and pictured at the Bogota Airport on May 13, 2007.
