Cartel hitman who decapitated enemies has gone missing from a US prison

A cartel leader and hitman fond of videotaping torture sessions and decapitating his enemies has gone missing from a federal prison in Florida, where he was serving a 49-year sentence.

As of November, Edgar Valdez-Villareal, a Mexican-American cartel leader, had been mysteriously removed from the federal Bureau of Prisons web site. He is now listed as “not in BOP custody” even though his release date is not until July 27, 2056.

Valdez-Villareal, 49, is known by his underworld moniker “La Barbie,” and headed up the the Los Negros, an enforcement group of the Beltran Leyva cartel — one of Mexico’s most ruthless underworld groups. At one point, he was a top lieutenant for the Sinaloa Cartel, run by convicted drug dealer Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman-Loera.

When working for the Sinaloa Cartel, Valdez-Villareal was asked by El Chapo to help bribe Mexican prison employees to get long johns to the cartel leader’s son. When two men took the bribe but asked for $500,000 rather than the original $100,000 fee, La Barbie ratted them out — leading to their torturous deaths.

Valdez-Villareal was indicted in the US in 2010 and extradited to the US five years later, where he was found guilty of drug trafficking and money laundering.

So, you can torture and decapitate people now and only get 49 years...

This guy must have made one heck of a deal with the Feds. I wonder what he knew that was so important that it got him released.

I suppose he’s in witness protection now. I hope that his new neighbors are alert, and well-armed.

He's not released. He's out on furlough doing a job for the Feds.

The guy is unhappy wearing khakis, boat shoes, and sunglasses, but it’s better than Orange jumpsuit.

Depending on how long he’s been missing there were 4 students in Idaho tortured to death with sharp blade a month or so ago. Be interesting to know if any of those students had a Mexican neck tie.
