Sandra wasn’t on the radar of the DEA until when she requested assistance from the authorities to locate her son who was kidnapped and held for ransom. The authorities needed four years to gather evidence against her leading to her arrest on charges of drug trafficking and laundering. She was incarcerated for eight years and released in February 2015.

She also had a role to play in the cocaine cowboy wars and was making $80 million every month. This lady had a countrywide distribution network and could not hesitate to use violence against her competitors. Even after her arrest in 1985, she continued managing her business from prison. Griselda was deported to Columbia in 2004 and killed in 2012 in a shooting in her hometown Medellín.

There has been speculation that she is the current boss of Los Antrax whose ruthless members are working for the Sinaloa cartel. However, no one has confirmed this yet. Claudia has denied the allegations and the Mexican authorities have yet to launch an investigation. Nonetheless, it is believed she will be apprehended in a matter of time.

Samantha Lewthwaite.

Samantha is popularly known as “the white widow” and is one of the most wanted women for terrorism in the Western world. She is accused of causing over 400 deaths. The Interpol has issued an added corner alert against her. She is presently believed to be in Syria where she is helping ISIL with videos of beheadings. Samantha was raised as a Christian in the UK but converted to Islam when she was 17. She is the wife of Germaine Lindsay, the person responsible for the suicide bombings in London on July 7, 2015. Samantha has been involved in terrorist activities and is reportedly training women in Syria to become suicide bombers.

Thelma Wright

Thelma Wright is the widow of Jackie Wright who was a major player within the Philadelphia drug scene until his murder in 1986. She is perhaps one of the few that decided to leave the world of drugs behind in 1971. Although she brought about a major change in the life, she became active as a gangster queen of Philadelphia. She was also involved in the transportation of heroin and cocaine between Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Thelma has written a book about her experiences within the world of criminal activities.

Did these women obtain any kind of career counseling before they decided to become gangsters? They perhaps obtained counseling for themselves from some of the best-known gangsters or just believed they were destined to be different.
