Manuela Escobar Early Life, education, struggle, depression and personal life

Manuela Escobar was born on May 25, 1984, in Colombia, as the only daughter of Pablo Escobar and Maria Victoria Henao. She had an elder brother, Juan Pablo Escobar Henao, who later changed his name to Sebastián Marroquín. Manuela’s early childhood was marked by luxury, danger, and isolation. She was the apple of her father’s eye, who would do anything to fulfil her wishes, even if they were impossible or illegal. At one birthday, while trying to fulfill her wish, her father gave her a Unicorn made from a white horse stamped with cow horn in the forehead. The animal suffered infection and died days later. Pablo Escobar was the notorious leader of the Medellín cartel, the most powerful and violent drug trafficking organization in Colombia. He was also known as the “King of Cocaine”, as he controlled most of the cocaine production and distribution in the world.

Manuela grew up in a lavish mansion that had everything from a soccer field to a zoo. She had access to millions of dollars and could buy anything she wanted. However, she also faced constant threats from her father’s enemies, who wanted to kill him and his family. She was homeschooled to ensure her safety, and rarely interacted with other children. She witnessed several attacks on her home, such as a car bomb explosion that almost killed her when she was three years old. She also experienced the hardships of living on the run, as her father was wanted by the Colombian government and the United States. She had to change her name and identity several times, and move from one country to another. She once lived in a mountain hideout, where her father reportedly burned $2 million to keep her warm.

Manuela’s fairy tale life ended abruptly when her father was shot and killed by the Colombian National Police on December 2, 1993, when she was ten years old. She lost her beloved father, who had been her hero and protector. She also lost her home, her wealth, and her identity. She had to flee from Colombia with her mother and brother, to escape the revenge of her father’s enemies. They travelled to different places, such as Brazil, Ecuador, South Africa, and Peru, before settling in Argentina. There, Manuela changed her name to Juana Manuela Marroquín Santos, and tried to start a new life.

Manuela attended a public school in Argentina, where she made some friends and learned new things. They lived an entirely unrecognized life until the Argentine government revealed their identity. Manuela was hard hit by the situation and refused to attend public school. Like her days in Colombia, she was tutored at home. Moreover, she never forgot her father or her past. She suffered from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, and struggled to cope with the loss of her father. She also faced legal troubles, as she and her family were accused of money laundering in Argentina. They were later cleared of the charges, but their reputation was tarnished.

Manuela has always been a private person, who avoided the media and public attention. She has never given any interviews or written any books about her life. Unlike her brother and mother, who have spoken about their experiences and opinions on Pablo Escobar, Manuela has remained silent and secretive. She has chosen to live a low-profile life, away from the spotlight and controversy. She is currently living in Argentina, under an assumed name.
