Authorities still do not know where the cocaine came from, and federal and state law enforcement are helping to find answers.

On Monday evening, bathers discovered 31 kilograms of cocaine worth more than a million dollars on a beach in Gulf Shores. Police turned the drugs over to US Customs.

One of the brick-shaped packages found on Wednesday bore the image of what appeared to be a 1976 reservation photo of Escobar, a notorious mainstay who was shot down in Colombia in 1993.
