WEBVTT - Cartel in the Kitchen - MIM B2

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Murder in Miami is a production of iHeartRadio. What follows

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>is a particularly gruesome tale of a gory cartel murder,

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>as told by one of Phil Stafford's former girlfriends during

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 1>his early days in Miami, Ruth, who also worked for

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the Miami News.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>My favorite cocaine murder I shouldn't say favorite, but anyway,

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 2>it was the cocaine cartels. The way they murdered people.

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>They put them on their knees, tied their hands behind

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 2>their back, and shot them in the back of the head,

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 2>right and they killed quote, everybody that was home over

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 2>two years old. But one of them was in Kendall,

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>which was a pseudo shishi area. You know, it was

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>upper middle class and middle class people that lived out there,

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and they went in that apartment and killed everybody was home,

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>except the woman that lived there that wrapped a towel

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 2>around her neck and put the other end into the

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>garbage disposal in the sink and turned it on and

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>literally hung her from her sink. And I always wondered,

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>what did she do that required that special attention, you know?

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Goodness, Yeah, because.

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Generally they just shot everybody and left. That was just

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the way it was then. With the cocaine cowboys, you

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 2>had to be careful what areas you went into, not

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>because they would be after you, but you didn't want

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to get hit. And the crossfire, you know, wow, because

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>they just it's unbelievable how many people they murdered during

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that time.
