Following the capture of Mexico's richest and most dangerous drug lord on Saturday, questions are now being asked about the whereabouts of his 24-year-old beauty queen third wife who gave birth to two of his children in 2011. Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman was nabbed in a U.S.-backed raid on a resort condo in Mazatlan, after his former bodyguards pointed Mexican officials to the elusive kingpin's compound of seven homes in the Pacific coast town of Culiacan. It seems Guzman - who is worth an estimated $1billion - was getting tired of living the safe life after 12 years in hiding, and let down his guard to enjoy his wealth in the resort town popular with American tourists. Scroll down for video . Powerful: Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is escorted to a helicopter in handcuffs by Mexican navy marines at a navy hanger in Mexico City, Mexico, after finally being captured Saturday following years on the run . Guzman was caught with an unidentified woman, but his young wife and former-beauty queen Emma Coronel was unaccounted for. Coronel is either Guzman's third or fourth wife and they were married in 2011 when she was just 18-years-old. She caught his eye after winning the Miss Coffee and Guava beauty contest. Coronel, who is the daughter of one of Guzman's top deputies, Ines Coronel Barreas, was last seen re-entering Mexico in August 2011. The then 22-year-old had just given birth to Guzman's twin daughters at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, north of Los Angeles, California. Mom: Guzman married Coronel when she was just 18-years-old. In 2011, when she was 22, Coronel gave birth to Guzman's twin daughters in a hospital in LA county . Where is she: Guzman's wife and former beauty queen Emma Coronel was not accounted for in news of the raid . Because Coronel is both an American and Mexican citizen - she is allowed to travel freely between the two countries. With . the DEA and U.S. Marshals Service reported to have been 'heavily . involved' in Guzman’s capture, U.S. politicians are now calling for him . to be extradited to the U.S., to face drug trafficking charges here. U.S. Rep Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland . Security, argues that extradition will help insure that Guzman remains . behind bars, since he has twice escaped from Mexican prisons through . bribery. That last time Guzman escaped, he was about to be sent to the U.S. 'My . sense in talking with Homeland Security officials and others last night . is that we were able to penetrate his circle, get people within the . organization to cooperate,' said McCaul. The noose started tightening around Guzman earlier this month. Federal . forces began sweeping through Culiacan, capital of the Pacific coast . state of Sinaloa - closing streets, raiding houses, seizing automatic . weapons, drugs and money, and arresting a series of men Mexican . officials carefully described to reporters as top officials for Zambada. Guzman's downfall began last week when several of his Sinaloa cartel henchmen were arrested by Mexican authorities. On . February 13, a man known as '19,' whom officials called the new chief . of assassins for Ismael Zambada, one of Guzman's top henchmen, was . arrested with two other men on the highway to the coastal resort city of . Mazatlan. Drug lord: Joaquin 'El Chapa' Guzman is led into a military helicopter following his arrest on Saturday . Most wanted: Guzman is one of the most wanted men in the world and is considered the 'Osama bin Laden of the drug war' Four days . later, a man described as a member of the Sinaloa cartel's upper ranks . was seized along with 4,000 hollowed-out cucumbers and bananas stuffed . with cocaine. In the . middle of this week, a 43-year-old known by the nickname '20' and . described as Zambada's chief of security, was arrested transporting more . cocaine-stuffed produce. By the middle of the week at least 10 Sinaloa henchmen had been seized. A . U.S. law enforcement official said on Saturday that at least some were . actually security for Guzman, and authorities used them to obtain . information that helped lead to the head of the cartel. Agents . learned that Guzman, 56, had started coming down from his isolated . mountain hideouts to enjoy the comforts of Culiacan and Mazatlan, said . Michael S. Vigil, a former senior DEA official who was briefed on the . operation. 'That was a fatal error,' Vigil said. Escape: Guzman escaped from a Mexican prison in 2001 by hiding in a laundry bin. Authorities believe he had inside help . Across the border: Coronel returned to Mexico legally after giving birth to her twins . Working . on the information gleaned from Guzman's bodyguards, Mexican marines . swarmed the house of Guzman's ex-wife but struggled to batter down the . steel-reinforced door, according to Mexican authorities and former U.S. law-enforcement officials briefed on the operation. As . the marines forced their way in, Guzman fled through a secret door . beneath a bathtub down a corrugated steel ladder into a network of . tunnels and sewer canals that connect to six other houses in Culiacan, . the officials said. Guzman . fled south to Mazatlan. On his heels, a team of U.S. Drug Enforcement . Administration agents set up a base of operations with Mexican marines . in the city, according to the current U.S. law-enforcement official. Early . on Saturday morning, Guzman's reign came to an end without a shot . fired. Marines closed the beachside road in front of the Miramar . condominiums, a 10-story, pearl-colored building with white balconies . overlooking the Pacific and a small pool in front. Smashing . down the door of an austerely decorated fourth-floor condo, they seized . the country's most-wanted man at 6:40am, a few minutes after the sun . rose. A neighbor who declined to identify himself for fear of retaliation said the apartment had only been occupied for two days. An . employee of the building's cleaning staff said that clothes were strewn . across the floor and bed in the condo, and humble domestic appliances - . a microwave, a floor fan, a flat-screen TV on a small table - were left . inside. Raid: Clothes and toiletries are scattered across a bed where Guzman was found with an unidentified woman . Dawn raid: A pancake left in a frying pan can be seen on the stove of the condominium where Guzman was arrested . Trapped: Marines broke into the seaside home in a complex where apartments are rented for about $1,200 a month . Photos of the . apartment published by a local newspaper showed cheap and unglamorous . furnishings. Inside the condo, the photos showed little food or liquor: . just a couple of dozen eggs on a shelf. A bag from a low-end supermarket . lay on the floor. Mexican . officials said that Guzman was detained along with a man they . identified as Carlos Manuel Hoo Ramirez. It's still unclear what role . Ramirez may have played in the cartel. A . U.S. law-enforcement official with direct knowledge of the killing of . Zambada's main lieutenant in November described it as part of a . concerted binational effort to decapitate the Sinaloa cartel. The . organization became the focus of U.S. and Mexican attention after a . string of arrests and slaying of the heads of other cartels, most . notably the seizure of brutal Zetas cartel head Miguel Angel Trevino . Morales in July. 'Who . are the only big fish left in the country? We can't just twiddle our . thumbs,' said the official who was not authorized to speak to . journalists and spoke on condition of anonymity. 'Now we focus on the biggest elephant in the room. It's by virtue of default.' Got him: Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman was arrested in an early morning raid in the resort town of Mazatlan . Guzman's . arrest appears certain to all but quash U.S. concerns that Pena Nieto's . administration has been reducing cooperation with U.S. law-enforcement, . a hallmark of his predecessor Felipe Calderon's six-year term. 'This . shows that cooperation is working, and that it's discreet and based on . intelligence-gathering,' said Raul Benitez, a security expert at . Mexico's National Autonomous University. 'This is, without a doubt, the most important success of Pena Nieto's administration.' By early afternoon, Guzman was marched across the tarmac of the Mexican marines' hanger at the Mexico City airport. The . man who eluded Mexican authorities for more than a decade looked pudgy, . bowed and middle-aged in a white button-down shirt and beltless black . jeans. Indictments: Guzman faces federal indictments in the U.S. for drug-trafficking charges . After his 2001 . escape in a laundry truck from a prison he came to control through . bribery, Guzman was rumored to live everywhere from Argentina to . Mexico's 'Golden Triangle,' a mountainous, marijuana-growing region . straddling the northern states of Sinaloa, Durango and Chihuahua. The Sinaloa Cartel grew deadlier and more powerful, taking over much of the lucrative trafficking routes along the U.S. border. Guzman . was hit with multiple federal drug trafficking indictments in the U.S. as his drug empire stretched throughout North America and extended . branches into Europe and Australia. Guzman's . play for power against local cartels caused a bloodbath in Tijuana and . made Ciudad Juarez one of the deadliest cities in the world. In . 2013, he was named 'Public Enemy No. 1' by the Chicago Crime . Commission, only the second person to get that distinction after U.S. prohibition-era crime boss Al Capone. Extradition: It's unclear when - or if - Guzman will be extradited to the U.S., where he faces federal charges over drug trafficking allegations . Paradise: Guzman was arrested at a hotel in the resort city of Mazatlan, Sinaloa . Number one: Guzman is estimated to be worth more than $1 billion and has been named public enemy number one by multiple law enforcement agencies . He . appeared in only a handful of photos during his years on the run, . staring straight into the camera of an anonymous photographer and . defiantly brandishing an automatic rifle. On . Saturday, as he was walked before the press, his hands were cuffed . behind him and a masked marine pushed down his head with a black-gloved . hand, as if to make clear that Guzman is now under state control. Guzman . said nothing, and looked subdued as he reappeared before the world for a . few seconds before disappearing into the cargo bay of a helicopter . waiting to take him to prison.
