Judy was forced to seek the help of the Cali Cartel, meeting Helmer Herrera, Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, and Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela at their mansion and agreeing to let Search Bloc and the DEA dismantle Escobar's drug labs. Judy, her brother Jaime, and their friend Diego Murillo Bejarano decided to fight against Escobar, and the overconfident Jaime was murdered by Escobar at his drug lab. Judy was assured that he was alive, but she discovered his death from news footage. She attempted to change the subject, but Escobar would keep this in mind when he had her husband murdered. In 1992, Gerardo expressed his dissatisfaction with Pablo Escobar's high "war taxes" on Moncada's operations and his insistence that Medellin remain at war with the Cali Cartel, and Judy accidentally brought up the subject in front of Pablo Escobar. She helped Gerardo in building a fortune, and they were devoted to each other, with Gerardo confiding in her and commissioning a portrait of her to hang in their mansion. Judy Moncada was from a poor family in Colombia, and she married Gerardo Moncada, a Medellin Cartel member. She went to war with Cali and the AUC in 1993 after Escobar went into hiding, as she wanted complete control over Medellin.

After his 1992 murder at the hands of Pablo Escobar, Judy fought to avenge him, allying with the Cali Cartel and running her own drug labs as the boss of the Moncada Cartel.

Judy Moncada was the wife and business partner of Gerardo Moncada, a Medellin Cartel leader.
