Speaker 1: is a particularly gruesome tale of a gory cartel murder,
Speaker 1: as told by one of Phil Stafford's former girlfriends during
Speaker 1: his early days in Miami, Ruth, who also worked for

Speaker 2: My favorite cocaine murder I shouldn't say favorite, but anyway,
Speaker 2: it was the cocaine cartels. The way they murdered people.
Speaker 2: They put them on their knees, tied their hands behind
Speaker 2: their back, and shot them in the back of the head,
Speaker 2: right and they killed quote, everybody that was home over
Speaker 2: two years old. But one of them was in Kendall,
Speaker 2: which was a pseudo shishi area. You know, it was
Speaker 2: upper middle class and middle class people that lived out there,
Speaker 2: and they went in that apartment and killed everybody was home,
Speaker 2: except the woman that lived there that wrapped a towel
Speaker 2: around her neck and put the other end into the
Speaker 2: garbage disposal in the sink and turned it on and
Speaker 2: literally hung her from her sink. And I always wondered,
Speaker 2: what did she do that required that special attention, you know?
Speaker 1: Goodness, Yeah, because.
Speaker 2: Generally they just shot everybody and left. That was just
Speaker 2: the way it was then. With the cocaine cowboys, you
Speaker 2: had to be careful what areas you went into, not
Speaker 2: because they would be after you, but you didn't want
Speaker 2: to get hit. And the crossfire, you know, wow, because
Speaker 2: they just it's unbelievable how many people they murdered during
Speaker 2: that time.
