Turbay Death
Diana Turbay was the daughter of ex-Colombian President Julio César Turbay and was a popular television newscaster and journalist. She was one of the people kidnapped by Escobar and used as a negotiation tool to help him eliminate extradition. Unfortunately, the government handed Escobar his biggest victory to date when they accidently shot and killed Diana Turbay in a rescue attempt, although they still deny it. Pablo’s surviving sicarios claim she was shot from a police helicopter outside a grassy field in Antioquia on January 25, 1991.
