The Texan called "La Barbie" is a shadowy legend, described as a smart, bilingual, 32-year-old ladies' man with a fondness for Versace clothes, luxury automobiles and hobnobbing at top-drawer nightclubs.
His name is Edgar Valdez Villareal, and he's a lieutenant in the Sinaloa drug cartel, Mexican and U.S. authorities say, a ruthless point man in the group's battle with the Gulf cartel for supremacy in Mexico's illicit-drug trade.
