Blair Cobbs first learned to box in Mexico, where he and his sister fled with their father, one of the FBI’s Most Wanted.
Eugene Cobbs escaped with his children to Mexico in 2004, after crashing a private plane at the Wheeling Ohio County Airport in West Virginia. He fled the scene and left behind 525 pounds of cocaine worth $24 million, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
That led U.S. marshals on a manhunt that ended in Mexico, where Cobbs had brought his two teenage children.
Eugene Cobbs, who was also known as Eric Wiggins and Marquis T. Munroe, was sentenced in June 2010 to 151 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release for his role in a nationwide cocaine conspiracy, ending in the plane crash in December 2004.
Eugene Cobbs was released from a Phoenix-area halfway house on August 28, 2019, after an escape from a minimum-security federal prison in 2013 tacked on additional time to his original sentence.
