Colombian drug lord Black Widow, often known as "La Madrina," began dealing cocaine in the early 1970s, when a teenage Pablo Escobar was still boosting vehicles. Escobar would later rise to prominence as the 1980s' greatest "kingpin," but she was possibly the biggest "queenpin."

Escobar is supposed to have been made possible by her, however it is unknown how intimately they were connected. Escobar was allegedly her ward, according to some. Others, meanwhile, have contested this and asserted that the two were savage rivals.

There is no doubt that she began her career as a human trafficker in the 1970s. She later rose to prominence in the Miami drug warfare in the 1980s. She created a great number of enemies in both Colombia and the United States during her reign of terror.

And she would do whatever it took to get rid of them.
