It showed the photo was snapped in Costa Rica.

The face of one of the men is completely obscured by a large emoticon; that of the second man only partially so.

And now the elder Guzman, the leader of the Sinaloa cartel who escaped from a maximum-security jail in Mexico in July, is the object of an intense manhunt in the Central American country.

His son has long taunted police with social-media posts that gloat about his father’s escape.
