On February 18, 1985, she was arrested by cops in her home and held with full bail. After they sent her to prison she tried to escape, Blanco was sentenced to more than a decade in jail. While in prison, she continued to effectively run her cocaine business with the help of her son Michael Blanco.
By pressuring one of Blanco’s lieutenants, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office obtained sufficient evidence to indict Blanco for three murders.

In 2002, Blanco suffered a heart attack while imprisoned. In 2004, Blanco was released from prison and deported to Medellín, Colombia. Before her death in 2012, the last sighting of Blanco was in May 2007 at the Bogotá Airport.

Hill found a job waitressing at the 1933 Century of Progress Chicago’s World Fair, then happened to come to the attention of a wealthy bookmaker and gambler, Joseph Epstein, who became her lover, financial advisor, and ultimately, her entree into the Chicago Outfit crime organization. She was used to passing messages to mobsters. She became the lover of the acting boss and capo Joe Adonis of the Genovese family, then the Frank Costello crime family. Even law enforcement eventually concluded that she was a central clearing house for intelligence on organized crime and enjoyed an independent power base within the Mafia.

She told people when arriving in Chicago that she was a Southern-belle society girl who had gone through four rich husbands, all divorced or dead and that she had received $1 million each from their estates, but authentic socialites saw through the ruse. She built up an entourage of hangers-on and Latin gigolos hanging out on Broadway Avenue and frequently picked up the check. Four days before her lover, mobster Bugsy Siegel, was assassinated at her home in California, she took an unscheduled flight to Paris, France. Lore has it that Siegel named the Flamingo Las Vegas resort after Hill, who loved to gamble and whose nickname was Flamingo, a nickname Siegel gave her due to her long, skinny legs.
In 1951, Hill was subpoenaed to testify before the Kefauver hearings, where she denied having any knowledge of organized crime despite being described by Time magazine in March of that year as the queen of the gangsters molls.

She died of an overdose of sleeping pills in Koppl, near Salzburg, Austria on March 24, 1966, at the age of 49. Hill was buried in Aigen Cemetery in Salzburg.
