Inside the messy love nest where Mexican drug lord ‘El Mencho’ spent his final days

Inside El Mencho’s compound where he spent his final days before forces gunned him down

The luxurious — yet messy — love nest where powerful drug lord Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes spent his final days in hiding was littered with cartons of takeout food and tons of medication, including pills for insomnia.

The now-dead Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader was lying low at a two-story villa inside the exclusive, gated Tapalpa Country Club with one of his lovers — and by the looks of it, they really didn’t get out much.

In the kitchen it looked as if a bomb had gone off. The counter was covered with takeout containers, rotten strawberries, milt cartons and water bottles, according to eerie photos obtained by Reuters.

Potatoes and tomatoes were dumped on the floor.

A fridge was jam-packed with large containers of beverages with other fruits and veggies.

The cartel kingpin was gunned down behind the hideaway in an ambush launched by the Mexican military’s special forces, throwing the country into turmoil.

Intelligence agencies were able to locate him after they determined that one of his mistresses was living at the secluded resort compound, officials previously said.

The villa featured spacious, sleek rooms with wide windows with a minimalist decor.

But similar to the fridge, but cabinets were packed to the brim. They contained meds for ailments such as migraines, insomnia, acid reflux and fungal infections.

Vials of Tationil Plus, which is supposed to boost cellular health, were tucked next to a dosage schedule in a freezer. Grooming products were also packed in plastic baggies.

Beds were unkempt.

The bloodthirsty drug leader also had Catholic saint figurines displayed on a makeshift altar. Two of the figures included Mexico’s patroness, the Virgin of Guadalupe, and the patron of lost causes, Saint Jude Thaddeus.

A Bible passage that conveys a message of trusting God was written out on a white sheet of paper.

Only a few sets of clothes were neatly laid out while numerous beds were unmade.

The villa had stone walls and a red-tiled roof, and is located in Tapalpa, which is known for its ecotourism and weekend homes scattered near a golf course and lake.

But Oseguera’s life at the quiet getaway was upended when Mexican authorities burst onto the scene and opened fire on the JNGC leader after he tried to flee through a back garden.

Mexico Defense Secretary Ricardo Trevilla said agents identified a man close to a girlfriend of Oseguera and then tracked the gal pal to a mountainside getaway community where Oseguera was settled.

El Mencho’s violent demise has sparked a round of cartel violence across the country with CJNG declaring war on President Claudia Sheinbaum.

“Stop hitting that dog — or I’ll end your badge.”  That’s what I told the deputy behind a quiet little gas station in Oak Grove… right before his sheriff pulled up smiling.  Kaiser was chained to a rusted post in the dirt. Ribs showing. Water bowl bone-dry. Raw skin carved into his neck where the chain had bitten too deep.  Deputy Grant Malloy stood over him, tapping a baton against his palm like he was bored.  “Still breathing,” he muttered.  I wasn’t from Oak Grove. Just passing through with my own K9 partner, Diesel — a retired military working dog who knows the smell of fear better than most humans.  Diesel saw Kaiser and went still. Not aggressive. Not barking.  Recognizing.  “You’re starving him,” I said.  Malloy shrugged. “Evidence. Nobody’s dog now.”  That’s when I started recording.  He didn’t like that.  The baton came down fast — caught my wrist — sent my phone flying into the dirt. Cameras at the gas pumps definitely caught the swing.  “You just assaulted a civilian,” I told him calmly. “And tried to destroy evidence.”  He grinned. “In Oak Grove? I decide what’s evidence.”  Then the patrol SUV rolled in. No lights. No siren.  Sheriff Calvin Rourke stepped out like he owned the ground.  He glanced at the dog. At me. Then smiled.  “That dog stays,” he said. “And you’re going to delete whatever you filmed… if you value your freedom.”  I looked at the chain cutting into Kaiser’s neck. Looked at the dried blood on the sheriff’s sleeve.  And then I noticed something else.  The harness strap didn’t say Kaiser.  It said Hollis.  And I’d heard that name before — tied to a missing person report that vanished from state records two weeks ago.  That’s when I realized this wasn’t about animal cruelty.  It was about a cover-up.  And they’d just picked the wrong witness.  Full story in the comments 👇

“‘Stop Hitting That Dog—or I’ll End Your Badge.’ — The Gas Station Rescue That Brought Down Sheriff Rourke’s…

I was in seat 14A on Flight 782 from Seattle to Dallas, still wearing my Army aviation dress uniform because I’d come straight from a retirement ceremony. Medals. Ribbons. The whole “ridiculous weekend warrior” look — according to my sister Lauren in 14B.  She’d been teasing me about it since boarding.  The cabin lights were dim. Most passengers were asleep.  Then it hit.  A violent blast under the floor — like a cannon going off inside the wing. The plane lurched so hard my shoulder slammed into the window. Oxygen masks dropped. A baby screamed. Someone yelled, “We’re going down!”  I looked out and saw a flash of orange near the left wing, then sparks swallowed by darkness.  Engine failure.
“That name should be dead… so why is Blackridge standing in my unit?” They mocked the new girl — until they saw the DEVGRU trident on her arm… and realized she wasn’t there to fit in. She was there to expose a betrayal that could trigger a nuclear trap.  The forward base near the Belarus border wasn’t built for drama. It was steel walls, mud-soaked boots, and radios hissing through cold dawns. Task Unit Seven didn’t get surprises.  Until she stepped off the transport.  Small. Controlled. Eyes that scanned exits before faces.  “Name,” Captain Owen Strickland demanded after reading the transfer sheet twice.  “Petty Officer Talia Blackridge, sir.”  The room shifted.  Thirty-six years earlier, a Blackridge had dragged Strickland out of a kill zone. Three years ago, that same man was declared KIA. Flag folded. Funeral attended. File closed.
“Say your name,” Captain Owen Strickland ordered.  “Petty Officer Talia Blackridge, sir.”  The room shifted.  Strickland had buried a Blackridge once. A man who pulled him out of a kill zone and was declared KIA years later. Memorial attended. Flag folded. Case closed.  Except now his last name was standing in front of him. Alive. Young. Impossible.  The team didn’t buy it. They mocked her. Tested her. Threw her into a 12-hour armory breakdown meant to break anyone.  She finished it flawlessly.  And when her sleeve shifted, they saw it.  The trident.  DEVGRU.  SEAL Team Six.  Silence swallowed the room.  Strickland stepped closer — and that’s when she said it.  “I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to find out who betrayed my father.”
