Manuela Escobar was only ten years of age when her father Pablo Escobar was killed. It is very well known that Manuela was extremely close to her father. He was a father who would do anything for his child. That is why he had raised Manuela like a princess.

Pablo once burned $2million to protect Manuela from hypothermia because they couldn't go to the hospitals as they were on the run.

On December 24, 1994, they arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentine on a tourist visa and stayed. There, Manuela attended a public school like a normal child. However, it all came crashing when the Argentine government revealed their identity.

Her mother and brother were convicted and arrested for false identity and money laundering, while Manuela was pardoned because she was a minor.

Manuela went through deep depression and had to seek professional psychological treatment.

She went through one psychiatrist after another. At one point, Manuela tried to take her own life.

Reportedly, Manuela is now known as Juan Manuela Marroquim Santos. Manuela's brother has been making efforts to receive forgiveness from his father's victims but Manuela has chosen to remain silent.

She has stayed away from media and thus is inactive on any social media sites.

She has been living alone in a residential building known as Jaramillo, in apartment 17. There are rumors that the Escobar children have been living lavishly in stolen drug money. But Manuela Escobar’s life was far from lavish, she was even struggling to be called middle-class.

But there was one thing that Juan Santos and Escobar shared- fear. When her mother and brother were arrested, the fear that Manuela had lived with before, resurfaced. Even though they were eventually released, the fear had latched itself onto her hence forcing Manuela to remained locked away, hiding from the world.

Her brother, on the other hand, lives in the spotlight, writing books and granting interviews about his father.

Since 1999, Pablo Escobar's daughter has had several depressive episodes, and, according to Juan Pablo, has attempted to take her own life. She is studying public relations, like a normal child but is struggling due to depression.

Juan Pablo claimed in an interview that she lives in fear of being discovered and that anyone who knows her identity will associate her with the crimes of a man that she barely knew. She fears that someday, someone she loves will end up paying for his atrocities with their own life.
