MEXICO CITY — Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman paced nervously in his cell before bending down behind his shower’s short wall and vanishing, according to newly released security footage of his daring jailbreak.

The small hole on the shower floor that Guzman slipped into late Saturday is not seen in the close-circuit camera, which is monitored 24 hours a day. It also does not show the moment he takes off a monitoring bracelet.While the video released late Tuesday shows Guzman walking back and forth three times before crouching into the shower with his prison garb on, National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said it was normal behavior for prison inmates.
