“Mexico’s Beauty Queen” Laura Zuniga.
Will her beauty fade in a orange prison jumpsuit?
The question now hangs over Laura Zuniga, 23, who emerged this summer as the reigning beauty queen of Sinaloa, the Mexican Pacific Coast state known for its stunning women and vicious drug Cartel.
She won Miss Hispanic America 2008 in a November pageant in Bolivia, placed third in the Miss Mexico contest and was heading to a global competition in Asia next year.
But “Zuniga” is ending the year in police custody after being arrested late Monday while traveling with seven alleged mobsters, including a boyfriend identified by federal police as a “top made member” of the Mexico’s Juarez Cartel.
