  "hook": "They call him El Chapo Isidro. The U.S. believes he is somewhere in Mexico, and has for years.",
  "blurb": "Fausto Isidro Meza-Flores came up in Sinaloa, in the heartland of the Mexican drug trade, and, prosecutors allege, built a heavily armed organization that pushed heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and marijuana north into the United States. He was first indicted in Washington in 2012; a superseding warrant followed years later. He is presumed innocent, and he has never once appeared in an American courtroom. He is believed to still be living in Mexico, moving among the same mountains that made him.",
  "mystery": "Investigators think they know the country. After that, the map goes blank, and $5 million rides on filling it in.",
