Rafael and Diana fell in love while serving time in Puente Grande prison in 2010; the drug trafficker met his then 39-year-old significant other in prison; he saw her on television as part of a beauty contest held inside the jail in which she got crowned as the queen.
Aguilar got released before the drug lord in 2011, but she continued to visit her lover and planned to start a family after his release. Thus, the couple’s love story is more like a story from a soap opera where the protagonists meet in the most unlikely way possible. However, we aren’t sure if they are still together or have parted ways as they have lived a low life ever since.

Quintero is in custody for the brutal murder of the D.E.A. agent Enrique Camarena aka Kiki; two warrants got issued on his name, and he got arrested on the 15th of July 2022 in the settlement of San Simón.

The drug lord was previously sentenced to 40 years in prison in 1985, relating to the death of Kiki but served only served 28 years in 2013. Moreover, around 2018, the U.S. government offered a $20 million bounty for his capture.
Moreover, Rafael has been under indictment in federal court in Brooklyn since 2020 on several counts of drug trafficking, per court records. However, his sentence has not been made public, so we are unsure how long he will serve in prison for his heinous crime.
Why Was Rafael Caro Quintero Arrested?
Rafael got arrested for allegedly taking the life of a Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique Camarena who was working undercover in Mexico in 1985.
The joint force of Mexican marines and the country’s prosecutor’s office made the drug lord’s arrest possible as a search dog Max discovered him hiding in the bushes, per the N.Y. Times.

Moreover, a few hours after he got detained, a Black Hawk helicopter crashed outside the nearby city of Los Mochis and killed 14 marines onboard; may their departed soul rest easy in paradise.
Quintero was placed on the F.B.I.’s ten most wanted list in 2018 for masterminding the killing of Camarena after he got released in 2013 on a legal technicality; he had been in the run ever since. But the drug trafficker finally got arrested as Mr. Garland said there’s no hiding place for anyone who kidnaps, tortures, and murders American law enforcement.
