Tracking Flights
Records of flights landing at Dona Ana County International Jetport (DNA) in Santa Teresa only showed one plane coming from Mexico on the same day of the arrests. The tail number N8454Z is an older 5-passenger Cessna 205 registered to owner/pilot Larry Curtis Parker.
Note the different graphics on the Beechcraft. On the early photos, the tail features a small Beechcraft logo on white with the stripes extending nearly to the tail on the early graphics. The plane at the Santa Teresa airport includes a much larger logo on a dark blue area of the tail and newer graphics on the body of the plane and smaller registration numbers.

Here is the flight, the transit from where it left the city of Hermosillo and how it arrived at the Texas Pass, precisely at a nearby airport, which is Santa Teresa, in this place of El Paso.
Mexico’s Incorrect Statements Regarding the Pilot
ROSA ICELA RODRIGUEZ VELAZQUEZ: That’s right.
INTERLOCUTOR: By Jerry Parker, American citizen.
ROSA ICELA RODRÍGUEZ VELÁZQUEZ: Larry, Larry,
INTERVIEWER: Larry Parker. But what happened then with the arrival of these two people, both Ismael Mario ‘El Mayo’ Zambada García and Joaquín Guzmán López? Did they make a stopover? What information do you have on this?
ROSA ICELA RODRÍGUEZ VELÁZQUEZ: That is the information that is being corroborated by the aeronautical authorities in the country. And it is also a fact that one left here, three arrived there, we will see what the precise information is in this case.
QUESTION: So, Larry Parker just left here, he just left the country?
ROSA ICELA RODRÍGUEZ VELÁZQUEZ: It is information that we still have to corroborate with the videos. So, the investigation is underway in Mexico and also there; but from what I have just informed you, that is, with the precise information provided by Immigration, which is also provided here by the Federal Aeronautics Agency.
We only know that he is a pilot because he has a pilot’s license, he does not have any immigration alert nor does he belong to any… He is not a United States authority, he is not a public servant nor is he registered in Mexico as such.
The flight plan indicates a pilot on board named Larry Curtis Parker, with the appropriate license. And the manager, along with the pilot, Larry Curtis Parker, also presented his passport, the name is above.
At 7:31 in the morning, all the information in Mexico about the crew member’s departure was entered into immigration and the report entered the immigration flow system. The aircraft took off around 8:00 in the morning and the respective coordination was carried out at the Hermosillo airport, where it was seen that the phone call was received and the images from the airport’s security cameras are being kept safe.
According to the authorities, the aircraft took off with one crew member, a pilot. And here it should be noted that in the electronic passenger list only the name of the passenger, the pilot, was confirmed, as we mentioned earlier.
Here we have the flight plan, that’s it, a flight plan bound for Santa Teresa, in the neighboring country and in the state of Texas.

According to journalist Peniley Ramírez, Larry Curtis Parker revealed to her that he had nothing to do with the events.
According to the reporter, the American is a businessman owns an asphalt company and lives in New Mexico, but constantly crosses the border in his plane to Hermosillo, Sonora, to hunt and fish in Mexico.
He said that the registration numbers that were released are indeed those of his plane, but the Beechcraft King Air plane that landed in New Mexico, and where El Mayo and Joaquin Guzmán Lopez traveled, is not his.
The man also said that he was in Sonora that day to carry out some paperwork and hold some meetings. His day went by normally until, in the evening, he noticed that the media included his license plate in the data on the capture of ‘El Mayo’. His situation worsened after the SSPC report.
Differing Accounts of the Arrests
U.S. officials offered differing accounts of how Zambada was captured according to several news outlets including Washington Post. Some said he surrendered.
At this time, three different versions leading up to the arrest of Mayo exist:
