After winning the state pageant title of Nuestra Belleza Sinaloa, Laura Zúñiga competed against thirty-two other contestants in the national pageant Nuestra Belleza Mexico 2008, held in Monterrey, Nuevo León, where she placed as the suplente and was automatically selected to participate in Miss International 2009.
Scandal
On December 23, 2008, Laura Zúñiga was arrested in Zapopan, Jalisco, along with seven men who allegedly carried illegal guns and US$53,000 in cash. The arrest was made by the state police and army officers. Zúñiga declared that she was kidnapped by her boyfriend Ángel Orlando García Urquiza, apparently the leader of the Juárez Cartel, and that she was unaware of his illicit activities.
The Nuestra Belleza Mexico organization released a statement saying it had no knowledge of Zúñiga's alleged gangland ties and that it would decide pending an investigation whether to let her keep her crown. "Nuestra Belleza Mexico has been a serious, honest and transparent organization", said the group's president Lupita Jones, in the statement sent to the media.
