I get that the prison bureau has its reasons for this and that, but it seems like it'd be reaaaallly good to know where this sick mass-murdering crazy man has gotten to:
A cartel leader and hitman fond of videotaping torture sessions and decapitating likely dozens of 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 website. 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 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.
Everyone, everywhere, all at the same time:
The bureau, of course, is being characteristically coy about it:
A spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons refused to say why Valdez-Villareal was no longer in federal custody, but told The Post that there could be many reasons. Inmates can be temporarily removed from the site if they are undergoing court hearings, medical treatments or unspecified "other reasons."
"We do not provide specific information on the status of inmates who are not in the custody of the BOP for safety, security or privacy reasons," the spokesman told The Post.
