Sanchez was pregnant at the time she visited Chapo, allegedly with Chapo’s child. On at least one occasion, she was accompanied by one of Chapo’s attorneys who later confirmed he accompanied the deputy on a visit to Chapo. Sanchez has denied she visited Chapo, and refuses to make a statement regarding their relationship.
On Wednesday, Sanchez resigned in front of the Sinaloa congress. A few hours later ,she was apprehended by federal police and transferred to Mexico City, where she can be held for up to 96 hours without being charged, during this preliminary proceeding.
While Chapo was on the lam, Cosalá is one of the first places that Chapo was known to have been hiding. When located at a Cosalá Ranch, the Mexican Navy moved in for the capture and ensued in an intense shootout. Mexican authorities reported that they had Chapo in their sight but held back from shooting because he was with a small girl. They also report that Chapo sustained injuries as he fled on an ATV.
