Charles Cosby is the only man Griselda Blanco a.k.a. "The Cocaine Godmother" either married or seriously dated that she didn't murder.
The story of how he became romantically involved with the infamous Colombian drug lord and subsequently went on to become a big crack dealer in Oakland with the cocaine she supplied him from prison, is the basis of the 2008 documentary, "Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin' With the Godmother."

HBO is currently developing a film on the life of Blanco.
TMZ reports that Cosby has threatened to sue HBO if they refer to him in any way. He's also not happy they chose Jennifer Lopez as the lead in the film, saying she is "unconvincing with no street cred."
He's working on his own Blanco project titled "Hustle."
During the 1970s and 1980s, Blanco, became the most powerful female drug dealer in history while distributing cocaine to Miami, New York and Southern California.
Authorities blame her for starting the Miami Drug War in the 70s. She's suspected of having at least 200 people murdered.
She was eventually arrested and found guilty of a drug conspiracy charge. Blanco avoided murder charges when Miami prosecutors were forced to drop the case after it was discovered Jorge "Rivi" Ayala, Blanco's number one hitman and the state's star witness, was having an affair with a secretary in the Florida State Attorney's Office.

Following a 10-year prison stint Blanco was deported back to Colombia in 2004.
On September 3, 2012, she was murdered in her hometown of Medellin, when two gunmen shot her outside of a butcher shop. Blanco was 69-years old.
