Escobar had a network of associates who helped him evade capture from "summary" of Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden
Escobar's ability to avoid capture was due in large part to the network of trusted associates he had built around him. These individuals were fiercely loyal to him and were willing to go to great lengths to protect him from law enforcement authorities. The network included family members, childhood friends, and other trusted individuals who were willing to do anything for Escobar. They helped him evade capture by providing him with safe houses, false identification, and other resources that allowed him to stay one step ahead of the authorities. In addition to providing logistical support, Escobar's associates also helped him maintain his influence and power within the criminal underworld. They helped him intimidate or eliminate rival drug traffickers, corrupt government officials, and anyone else who posed a threat to his operations. One of the key strengths of Escobar's network was its ability to operate in secret and maintain a code of silence. This made it difficult for law enforcement agencies to infiltrate or disrupt the network, as its members were fiercely loyal to Escobar and were willing to protect him at all costs.- Escobar's network of associates played a crucial role in helping him evade capture for so long. Their loyalty, resourcefulness, and willingness to do whatever it took to protect him made it incredibly challenging for law enforcement authorities to bring him to justice.
