A 29-year old buxom beauty recently left a private hospital in San Jose, where she is alleged to have undergone reconstructive facial surgery after a hitman failed to carry out his lethal contract. Over the last few weeks, Pamela Crespi Guzman has been making headlines in Costa Rica due to her alluring looks and her alleged ties to a dangerous criminal outfit that has disrupted life in the southern suburbs of the capital city with spectacular and deadly shootouts.

The state of affairs involving Ms. Crespi has drawn comparisons to the 2011 Mexican film Miss Bala, starring Stephanie Sigman as a beauty queen who is kidnapped by a drug cartel and force to conduct dangerous missions until she becomes a hardened and fearsome woman. Miss Bala is loosely based on a real-life incident, whereby a former Miss Sinaloa was once arrested for her alleged ties to drug trafficking.

Witnesses of the assassination attempt on Ms. Crespi explained that the gunman used a silencer and shot Ms. Crespi point blank in the face at least three times. She was rushed to Clinica Biblica, a hospital that has a great reputation of quality care, and which is preferred by medical tourists who visit Costa Rica.

Gorgeous and Deadly

According to metro journalist Manuel Estrada of daily tabloid Diario Extra, Ms. Crespi was gunned down on a Sunday afternoon as the vehicle she was traveling in came to a stop at the San Sebastian correctional institute in the outskirts of San Jose. Ms. Crespi was traveling with two other women in the car, and her intention was to visit “The Gimp,” a man sentenced to prison for crimes related to street-level drug trafficking.

It so happens that The Gimp is Ms. Crespi’s brother. The siblings are alleged to have been part of a drug dealing outfit commanded by El Indio, a man with a penchant for running criminal organizations with a violent style of leadership. El Indio’s gang was mostly dedicated to the retail trafficking of crack cocaine, but the illicit business included other unpleasant activities such as double-crossing, forceful encroaching and bloody retaliation.

Ms. Crespi, an attractive woman with a curvy figure, fine features and shiny dark hair that silkily cascades down her shoulders, is rumored to have occupied a management role in El Indio’s crew. Prosecutors have accused her with complicity on two occasions, but the charges have been flimsy enough to be dismissed in court.

Ms. Crespi would later be detained by members of the Office of Judicial Investigations (Spanish initials: OIJ), who accused the voluptuous woman of participating in a drive-by shooting, whereby she allegedly shouldered an AK-47 assault rifle from the back of a motorcycle and deliberately fired warning shots against rivals of El Indio. For this court hearing, Ms. Crespi put up her hair and wore a tight-fitting and stylish indigo dress that accentuated her womanly curves; she would once again walk away free after her attorney pointed out that the evidence packet seemed to have been put together by Inspector Clouseau.

While at the Clinica Biblica, OIJ agents visited Ms. Crespi to offer her protection and to allow her to press charges. She respectfully declined and walked out of the hospital days later. Social media comments from netizens who know about her case speculate that Ms. Crespi will probably lay low and take a break from her vida loca to allow her facial scars to heal, learn new styles of applying makeup, and devise a plan to even the score.
