Laura Lucio

Laura Lucio is an Emmy and Golden Mike Award-winning journalist and host who goes where other reporters won't dare. 

Her Emmy-winning NBC-Telemundo special took her inside Mexico's most dangerous prisons, including El Altiplano, the country's most heavily guarded. This while President Salinas de Gortari was in office. In some states, Laura found lockups run like small cities, where inmates carried beepers. She earned that access after meeting Mexico's attorney general during her investigation into claims that the government was protecting narcos. Her Golden Mike recognized an investigation in Los Angeles, CA that exposed fake businesses charging job seekers an $80 fee and sending them to addresses that didn't exist.
