Speaker 1: Murder in Miami is a production of My Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Miami had become the murder capital of the United States.
Speaker 1: Every day somebody was getting shot, murdered, robbed. I would
Speaker 1: categorize it as the wild West because any Vaddy crossed
Speaker 1: the cartails and any white that gets killed everybody it
Speaker 1: was home in. Phil Stanford dove into Miami's shadowy, sinister side,
Speaker 1: just as cocaine was captivating and corrupting the city. Down
Speaker 1: at the end of the bar, there's this guy. Hands
Speaker 1: me his card, says Clay Williams. Intercept Detective Agency, setting
Speaker 1: Stanford on an unbelievably surreal path, and I called the
Speaker 1: number on it. Secretary answers, She says, I'm sorry, we
Speaker 1: don't have a Clay Williams here. Did he ever turn up?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, about two weeks later they found his body
Speaker 1: in the Everglades. That's how you got rid of But
Speaker 1: you dumped him in the Everglades with the alligators. A
Speaker 1: path filled with temptation. As we say in the staff,
Speaker 1: money talks and bullshit walks. They were making millions of
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. Yeah, no matter what I did, I
Speaker 1: got paid very well. I thought it was a great
Speaker 1: job and riddled with violence. She was found beaten and
Speaker 1: stopped in the trunk of her Mercedes. I thought I cut.
Speaker 1: I knew that I had to get out of there
Speaker 1: as fast as I could. I was scared for my life.
Speaker 1: A world orbiting around a mysterious and controversial Manda drug
Speaker 1: pilot by the name of Lamar Chester. And Lamar Chester,
Speaker 1: did you ever run anything with Grass? Until I turned
Speaker 1: over that load of coat to him on the island?
Speaker 1: You offered Lamar a million dollars to land at his island.
Speaker 1: Chester would claim he did it all for the CIA,
Speaker 1: many into a sprawling federal investigation linked to the highest
Speaker 1: levels of corruption and betrayal. And did he tell you
Speaker 1: who he was running the guns for? It was obvious
Speaker 1: the CIA was running that show. So Clay wasn't the
Speaker 1: only person who was murdered. Oh no, not by a
Speaker 1: long shot. I'm Lauren Bright Pacheco. Join me for Murder
