Leaked audio from inside El Chapo's prison cell reportedly shows how obvious his escape was

The silent, grainy video of the world's most notorious drug lord calmly walking toward his private shower reveals just how easy Joaquin"El Chapo" Guzmán's escape from a Mexican maximum-security prison was.

At approximately 8:46 p.m., the first sound of drilling is heard over the audio from the television program. 

Listen carefully at these minute marks - 1:43, 1:47, 1:54, and 2:04

The Mexican government's 'levels of complicity'

"[On September 1] I received a verbal response from the deputy government secretary, Felipe Solis Acero, in which he told me it wasn't possible to provide me with a copy of the video because it was part of a preliminary inquiry, a response that I was expecting but which also means that the video exists," Encinas told EFE Agencia.

Master of tunnels

The custom-built 5 1/2-foot high and 2-foot-7-inch-wide tunnel was illuminated and equipped with a ventilation system.

A motorcycle built onto rails was also placed in the sophisticated passage to transport Guzmán through the tunnel quickly.

The end of the tunnel opened up to a nondescript abandoned home that is at least a half-mile away from any other building.
