1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Murder in Miami is a production of iHeartRadio previously on 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Murder in Miami. 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: Miami had become the murder capital of the United States. 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 2: I would categorize it as the wild wild West. Every 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 2: day somebody was getting shot, murdered, robbed. 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 3: Does anybody that crossed the cartails and any white that 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 3: gets killed? Everybody that was home down at the end. 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 4: Of the bar. 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: There's this guy nds me. His card says Clay Williams. 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: Intercept Detective Agency. 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 4: About two weeks. 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: Later, got a call from Bob Adams, he's president of Intercept, 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: and he said they found Clay. And so I go 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: down Miami Dade Sheriff's office. At a certain point, they 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: start pulling out pictures of Clay Williams's body, polaroids taken 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: out in the Everglades and he's just he's a skeleton. 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: And I tell him I think I might be responsible 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: for the death. They said, look, you're involved with some 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: dangerous people here. And I report back to Bob. I 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: call and tell them what I found out. They said, 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: good work, good work, and so that was sort of 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: my first job. 23 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: For Intercept as a private detective. 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: As a newspaper reporter, slash private detective. 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: Yes, it's October of nineteen eighty one, and Phil Stamford 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: is basically moved into the job. Clay Williams murder has vacated, 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: a murder he still believes he may have caused. As 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: a result, Stanford's compelled to pay his respects by attending 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: the deceased man's memorial service. All in all, it's an 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: awkward situation. 31 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: It was a strange funeral anyway, in a large sort 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: of double wide trailer alongside Dixie Highway, and I got 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: the feeling that some sort of fly by night preacher 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: was conducting the ceremony. Boy, I wish I had a 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: record of the ceremony, because it was all about the 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: preacher wondering how God could allow something like this as 37 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: awful as this to happen. And standing in the back 38 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: end of the trailer were about four or five very 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: big guys, obviously detectives from the Sheriff's officer Miami Police. 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: Big guys, I mean like six ' five sixty six, 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty pounds or more, wearing sports coats 42 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: and suits and sort of smiling.

So yeah, 49 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: it must have been shortly after the funeral that I 50 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 2: sort of stopped going into the paper. 51 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 4: Ruth and I broke up.

Stanford already had access to 69 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: the scene through an artsy and intellectual Bohemian couple by 70 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: the last name of Rothchild. 71 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: Oh Yeah, John and Susan Rothchild. They were friends of 72 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: friends in DC. John was a writer and very sharp guy, 73 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: and Susan, a beautiful woman, was a former New York socialite. 74 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: Her father had owned the twenty one Club in New 75 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 2: York City and turned hippie, and she and John had 76 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: taken up together shortly before they landed in Miami Beach. 77 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: They had a nice place in Miami Beach. They became 78 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: good friends, and I saw a lot. 79 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 4: Of them too. 80 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: John Rothchild passed away a few years back, leaving behind 81 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: an impressive array of books and compelling magazine articles. His 82 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: New York Times obituary cited him as a prolific journalist 83 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: who used humor to turn books about personal finance into 84 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: engaging reads. His widow, Susan shares that with here's her 85 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: outgoing voicemail message, Hi. 86 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: If I'm not answering the phone right now. It's because 87 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: I can't find my phone, and as soon as I 88 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: find it, I'll call you back bye. 89 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: When we connected, I passed along Phil's praise of both 90 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: her intellect and stunning beauty. 91 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: Well, I was, anyway, at eighty three out of us. Dummy, 92 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 3: I am unless I hit someone over the head to stumble. 93 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: But anyway, here's her take on Phil during his Cordoza 94 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: Porch days. 95 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: It wasn't actually my type, but he was attractive looking 96 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: and smart. I would say I found it very simpatico. 97 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 3: He was slightly brash, but he was very also involved. 98 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 3: He had two adorable children, and it was very good 99 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 3: with them. He was a very good single father. 100 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: I think Phil's boys would visit from Oregon when their 101 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: school breaks permitted. 102 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 3: They were sort of our kids' age, and so we 103 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 3: all hung out together. It was very easy. 104 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I recently read an article that Jack McClintock had written 105 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: about life on the Porch of the Cordoza Cardozo. Yes, 106 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: and it kind of glamorized the circle of writers, including 107 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: your husband and Phil. 108 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 3: Yes, they had fun and they were very involved in 109 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 3: peripheral daring do. 110 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: The article I'm referring to originally appeared in Marquee magazine 111 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: and described the Cordoza as a place where that daring 112 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: do rose to the most random of rivalries, including one 113 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: for ugliest Hawaiian shirt. The author Jack McClintock thought he'd 114 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: won that competition until he wrote. 115 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 5: Phil Stanford, who was a surfer in Hawaii for a 116 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 5: couple of years before he began writing for the New 117 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 5: York Times magazine and being a political activist and the 118 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 5: private detective and country songwriter and all the other things 119 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 5: he was. Stanford started showing up wearing an entire series 120 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 5: of sleazy Hawaiian print shirts, for which he claimed to 121 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: have paid exactly a dollar seventy nine. 122 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: Apiece For the record, Phil denies the country music allegation. 123 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: McClintock goes on to write. 124 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 5: Stanford thought he'd won hands down, and would have if 125 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 5: it hadn't been for John Rothschild. John's nonfiction about Florida 126 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 5: is as wise and wry as John D. McDonald's fiction 127 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 5: about the same subject. 128 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: According to his wife, Susan. For a time, John Rothschild 129 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: focused on the more dangerous aspects of Miami, including drug 130 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: smuggling and organized crime. When we talk about the lawlessness 131 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: the wild West feel, Phil mentioned that there was at 132 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: the time there was a traffic incident and one guy 133 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: got out and started shooting, and the other guy got 134 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: out of his car and started shooting. Was that a 135 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: part of your reality there? 136 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: Oh? 137 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, we were driving There's an Italian restaurant named 138 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: Austria Osteria Deloso. 139 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 4: We were with. 140 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: Sasha, who must have been nine or ten, in the car, 141 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: and there were police outside. I said, oh, look, they 142 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: must be shooting a movie. She said, no, they're not 143 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: shooting a movie. That's a crime scene. And she was 144 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: right because in the next day in the papers, to 145 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: turn out the chef had been killed in that restaurant. 146 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 3: Now how that nine year old knew, you know, growing 147 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: up on Miami Beach. 148 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,119 Speaker 1: Back to Phil and his days at the Cordoza. 149 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 150 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: And then there was my cop friend JD, who I'd 151 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: met while I was still working at the News. He'd 152 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: stopped by in street close of course, because he usually 153 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: worked undercover, park his motorcycle out front and come up 154 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: on the porch and talk. 155 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: What was he like, JD? 156 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: He was a tough boy, ex Special Forces in Vietna, 157 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: and his job with Miami Dade Sheriff's Office was felony Warrens, 158 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: which means he had to bring in the guys who 159 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: were running from the law, who jumped bail, and. 160 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: Usually pretty dangerous people. 161 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: So he'd go into the roughest parts of Miami, put 162 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 2: a gun to the fugitive head, and bring them out 163 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: by himself. He said that if he worked alone, because 164 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: if you worked with a partner, you might get yourself killed. 165 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: When I tell JD about Intercept, he sort of smiles 166 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: and says it sounds kind of hinky to him, which 167 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: was cop talk at the time for suspicious or illegal. 168 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: Naturally, I think this is very cool, perhaps a bit 169 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: enamored by the danger and the sense of adventure. Stanford 170 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: was all too willing to dive into the new role 171 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: of private investigator by tackling the next assignment Intercept, and 172 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: Bob Adams tossed his way. 173 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 4: The first job was a surveillance job. 174 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: He wanted me to follow a doctor who's getting divorced. 175 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: The wife had hired them for some reason, it never 176 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: clear to me. She wanted to know what he was doing. 177 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: Bob had me do this, he said, the doctor's going 178 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 2: to be picking up the two little boys must have 179 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: been at the mother's house at this address tomorrow night. 180 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: Just follow and see where they go. Why the wife 181 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: would have wanted to know this, I have no idea, 182 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: but the house was sort of at the bottom of 183 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: a hill. I parked up the hill, looking down towards 184 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: the house. It's already dark, and lights came on in 185 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: the front porch. A man and two little boys came 186 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: out in the lights, walked towards his car and started 187 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: to get in, and I started to get nervous they 188 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: get away before I wouldn't be able to keep up 189 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: with them. So I started the car, which turned on 190 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: the lights right away and sort of blasted them with light. 191 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: And one of the kids said, Daddy, Daddy, someone's following us. 192 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: That was my first job, and I was an utter 193 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: failure at it. I was discovered by eight year old 194 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: I just sort of slunk off, let the car roll down, 195 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: turned off the first left I could, and that was that. 196 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: The next morning went into Bob and I told him 197 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: what had happened. I said, Bob, I'm sorry. He said, oh, 198 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: don't worry about it. Don't worry about it, and laughed, 199 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: he has had this giggle. And he pulled out a 200 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: roll of bills turned out to be hundreds, all hundreds, 201 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: and he started peeling them off for me. I think 202 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: I peeled off five hundreds, and he said, good work. 203 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 4: I'll let you know what. I have another job for you. 204 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: If being handsomely rewarded for his ineptitude did strike Stamford 205 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: his odd, he didn't let it keep him from taking 206 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: on another job with Intercept. 207 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: Days later he had another job. It was the same 208 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: doctor again, and this time I was smarter. I followed 209 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: the doctor. He had a sports car. I think they 210 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: had a Porsche. A decent interval to an apartment building. 211 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 2: A young lady came out of the apartment building, got 212 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: in his car, followed them to a motel, sort of 213 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: a CD motel on the outskirts of Miami. And after 214 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: they parked. It was late in the afternoon, almost dusk. 215 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: I pulled into the same parking lot at the other 216 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 2: end of the parking lot and waited. 217 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 4: And waited, and. 218 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: Next thing I know, someone is tapping on my window 219 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: with a coin or something, shouting, wake up, asshole. 220 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: So you fell asleep on the job. 221 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, And when I look out the windshield. The doctor's 222 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 2: car has gone and there is JD grinning at me. 223 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: He says, don't worry, I'm not going to get you fire. 224 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: So we go to an all night diner and he 225 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: clues me in, and what he tells me is the 226 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: best he can figure out. I'm just there to handle 227 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: the stuff that comes in from the Yellow Pages so 228 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: the rest of the guys can tend to the real business, 229 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: which is making the real money, which was the drug business. 230 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: Of course, this is Miami, and so I go in 231 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: the next morning to apologize, and Bob does the same 232 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: thing as before. It says, don't worry about it. The 233 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: main thing is we can tell his old lady that 234 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: her husband and his girlfriend went to the motel. That's 235 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: all she cares about, just wants something to be pissed 236 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: off about. And then he peels off another five one 237 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: hundred dollar belts, at which point I say, hey, Bob, 238 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: now that's really generous of you, but just so you know, 239 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: I do understand what my job here is, and that's 240 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: to handle the stuff that comes in from the yellow pages, 241 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 2: because you guys are too busy with other matters, right, 242 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 2: And he looks at me does sort of a double take, 243 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: and then he laughs and peels off another couple hundred 244 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: or so, says, let's go get a couple of drinks, 245 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 2: and this time you're buying, And just like that, I'm 246 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 2: one of the guys. 247 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: What was going through your head? So obviously your first 248 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: two assignments weren't exactly home runs. Yet you're making a 249 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: ton of money, a ton of money given the time, 250 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: particularly cash. 251 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. I thought it was a great job. 252 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: I mean, no matter what I did, I got paid 253 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: very well, and I got to hang around talking with 254 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: these guys who had great stories. 255 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 4: They'd talk about their adventures and so take me into that. 256 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: On top of being an investigation firm, it was staffed 257 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: with some really charismatic, intriguing guys. Just tell me a 258 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: little bit about stepping into that world. 259 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: That was the payoff for me. I didn't that much 260 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: about the money. They were willing to talk, and the 261 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: people who've lived lives like that really have a lot 262 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: of stories and they want to talk about other people 263 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 2: don't understand how unusual their lives are. 264 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes, especially it would seem the head of Intercept, Bob Adams. 265 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: Bob loved to talk and since I was no longer 266 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: in the journalism business. A boy did have some stories 267 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: to tell. It turns out all the top guys that 268 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: intercept had been in military intelligence or the CIA. 269 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 4: Bob had been with. 270 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: A military intelligence unit in Frankfurt, Germany that he said 271 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: provided logistical support for professional assassins working for the United States. 272 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: Another guy on the board had been the CIA station 273 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: chief in Miami during the Bay of Pigs time. 274 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: So what was the tie between the Central Intelligence Agency 275 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: and Miami, Cuba, and in particular the CIA's secret war 276 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: to outs Fidel Castro. In fact, the CIA's largest outpost 277 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: in the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies was the infamous 278 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: JM wave station at the University of Miami campus. The 279 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: operation left many former agents in the region with some 280 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: pretty interesting resumes in the nineteen eighties. Did Williams have 281 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: a military background too or intelligence? 282 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, they said that Clay Williams, whose spot I guess 283 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: you could say I took the detective Agency, had been 284 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: with military intelligence. 285 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: If you were involved with the front end stuff, the 286 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: sort of business they get from calls on the Yellow Pages. 287 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: What were the military intelligence guys doing with anything that 288 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: had to do with drugs For the most part. 289 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 4: That was really above my pay grade. 290 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: But Bob did tell me one story about the time 291 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: he and a couple of the guys had to go 292 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: up to Georgia to clean. 293 00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 4: Some moldy money. 294 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: Not launder money, but clean some money that had been 295 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 2: stored underground so long that it. 296 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 4: Was getting moldy. 297 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 2: Bob said he cleaned it mostly in a washer dryer, 298 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: and that he got one tenth of all they were 299 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: able to salvage. 300 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: What was in Georgia. Why did he have to go 301 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: to Georgia to clean money? 302 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, sure, That's where Lamar was, Lamar Chester. 303 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 2: And it was no big secret at all that their 304 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 2: biggest client at the time was this dashing dope pilot 305 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: by the name of Lamar Chester. 306 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: So who was Lamar Chester to interceptor Bob Adams. 307 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: To Bob, Lamar was a legend among dope pilots, one 308 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: of the first to start flying marijuana directly from Colombia. 309 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 2: He had an island in the Bahamas that was sort 310 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: of a motel six for dope pilots making the run 311 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: from South America. Lamar gotten into the business in Miami, 312 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: but his home base was now a chicken ranch up 313 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: in northern Georgia. 314 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 4: That's where he was flying into. 315 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: Now, in such an infamous era of drug smuggling, what 316 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: made Chester stand out? 317 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: Bob was fascinated by Lamore. He said his nickname was 318 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: Captain America. He thought he looked like the Marlborough Man, 319 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: and he said when you saw him, he usually had 320 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: a girl on each arm. 321 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: So, if Chester was involved with drug smuggling, an intercept 322 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: was involved with Chester. Did you ever stop to think 323 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: that that might have played a role in Clay Williams murder? 324 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 2: If I did, I didn't spend too much time thinking 325 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: about it. It was a place I didn't really really 326 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: want to. 327 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: Go, I guess, or maybe it was intentionally rationalized. 328 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 6: Yeah. 329 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: Well, the way Bob explained it to me was that 330 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: Clay was sort of a facilitator. He'd hang out of 331 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: the Prime Pub and used the payphone on the wall. 332 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 4: Remember this was. 333 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: Well before the day of cell phones, and he'd connect 334 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: suppliers with pilots, or say, set up pilots with offload cruise. 335 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: The way Bob explained it, just about every bar in 336 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 2: Miami catered to a particular level of the drug trade, 337 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 2: and the Prime Pub for example, was sort of mid level, 338 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 2: but exactly what Clay Williams was doing they got him. 339 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 4: Killed, If that's what it was. Bob never told me 340 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: and I never asked. 341 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: But didn't you think it was odd that here you 342 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: are working for a private investigation firm and they didn't 343 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: seem too interested in figuring out who had killed one 344 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: of their employees or why? I mean, did you ever 345 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: stop to think that maybe you could end up dead too? 346 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 4: I was it a. 347 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: Place in my life where I really didn't care about this. 348 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: I think I was the only one I knew at 349 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: that time. He didn't carry a gun, which is probably 350 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: why no one shot at me. But I remember one 351 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: time going into Bob Adams and I said, Bob, I 352 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 2: got a threat. He said, oh, don't worry about the 353 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: ones you hear. And I was happy for the job. 354 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: Okay. But back to Clay Williams, there was no further 355 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: attempt to find out who killed him. 356 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, other than the initial dog and pony show of 357 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 2: driving me around after Clay was killed. 358 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: So it didn't concern you at all that your new 359 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: place of employment seemed caught up in sketchy, dangerous drug 360 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: related activities. 361 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: No, and to tell the truth, I actually thought it 362 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: was kind of cool, just what I was looking for 363 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: when I came to Miami. But I've got to say 364 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 2: that even at the time, dumb as I was, I 365 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: was at least smart enough to know that there's some 366 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: things you don't ask questions about, and Clay Williams's death 367 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: was probably one of them. 368 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: What about now and now? 369 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's certainly one of the things about this story 370 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: I'd like to get to the bottom of. 371 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: When I started scouring newspaper archives for any mention of 372 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: Williams either missing or being found, there was nothing which 373 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: immediately struck me as odd, especially if he were former 374 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 1: military intelligence. Since Phil had what he believed was his 375 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: full name. 376 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: Clay had slightly unusual names. It was Baines Clayton Williams. 377 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: His date of birth, and that he was originally from 378 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: North Carolina. I'd put in a formal request for any 379 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: existing records with the Miami Dade Police Department on January 380 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: fifth of twenty twenty two, explaining I was hoping to 381 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: track down the police report on the murdered private investigator 382 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: from Miami whose body was found in the Everglades in 383 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: October of nineteen eighty one. In the meantime, Phil searched 384 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: the archives of old newspapers. 385 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: The one thing I was able to find was an 386 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: obituary for Clay's mother, who died in twenty eleven in Charlotte, 387 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: North Carolina, and it listed her living sons and her 388 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 2: predeceased son, Baines Clayton Williams. And what turned out to 389 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 2: be really important because the surviving children of her deceased 390 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 2: son and their names were listed there. 391 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: How many children did he have? 392 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 4: He had had four kids. 393 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: Next, we tracked down Clay's wedding announcement to a woman 394 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: named Sandra. 395 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: They were both young, a short announcement from the Charlotte paper. 396 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: They were married in nineteen sixty one June of nineteen 397 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: sixty one, and Clay was working at some electrical company. 398 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 2: She was working at a store. Very pretty girl. They 399 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 2: must have been a handsome couple. 400 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: Using the names of the couple's children, I was able 401 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: to do a reverse search of known relatives. After a 402 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: series of dead ends and disconnected numbers, I called Phil 403 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: with an update. I think I actually found Sandra. I 404 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: ended up calling the house that had her name listed. Also, 405 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: the man who I believe was her second husband, and 406 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: he answered and unfortunately she passed away five years ago. 407 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: But he was very open to my questions. He explained 408 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: that it really remains a cold case as far as 409 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: the family's concerned, that they never had any true answers 410 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: as to who murdered Clay or why. But he was 411 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: willing to link me with one of Clay's daughters, and 412 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: she ended up returning my phone call, and so I 413 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: spoke to her, and she also mentioned the large guys 414 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: at the funeral that you mentioned seeing, who you believe 415 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: were detectives. 416 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 4: How old was she then? 417 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: She would have been eight when her father passed. There 418 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: were four kids. Her older sister was twelve. She has 419 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: a twin sister who was also eight, and then there 420 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: was the youngest child. Her little brother was just two 421 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: months old when his father disappeared and ended up murdered. 422 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 6: I have a. 423 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 2: Vague recollection of the mother holding that baby at a funeral. 424 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. She also says that her father's car was found 425 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: shortly after he disappeared in Texas, and that the car 426 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: was found laden with drugs. Had you heard of that? 427 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: No, that's news to me. What conclusions did she draw 428 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 4: from that, you know. 429 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: She was very pragmatic about it. She said that she 430 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: didn't think that her father was linked to what they 431 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: found in the car, but then again, this was the 432 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties and Miami. 433 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 6: Indeed it was. 434 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: Eventually, Clay's daughter linked me with her elder sister, who 435 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: was also willing to speak with me, but not to 436 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: be interviewed. She did, though, suggest I reach out to 437 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: a couple named Ted and Roseanne, who were close friends 438 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: of her parents. Here's Ted. 439 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 6: How I met Clay was through an associate of mine 440 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 6: at work who knew Clay from the military, introduced me 441 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 6: to Clay. I don't know how Clay got to be 442 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 6: to Miami, but I think he was looking for a 443 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 6: place to raise his children. He had three girls, and 444 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 6: he wanted to start a new life. 445 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: And Clay made an immediate impression, just as he had 446 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: on Phil and Ruth in that bar in Parne when 447 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: he handed them his card. 448 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 6: He was good looking, tall, he was taller than six feet. 449 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 6: He was lanky, very charming, nice smile, quick to laugh, 450 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 6: always good humored, very much a family man. 451 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: Family was what instantly connected the two men. 452 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 6: We used together together with Clay and his family and 453 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 6: He was a very family oriented person, easy spoken and 454 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 6: charming to be around. We had a lot of fun 455 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 6: together whenever we were together for barbecues, help each other 456 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 6: around the house. We all had homes needed to repair, 457 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 6: one type or another. I remember working on Clay's house 458 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 6: one time, painting it, and we just got to know 459 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 6: the families and we're just associated in that way. Just 460 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 6: pure family relationships. Very handsome family, pretty wife. 461 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: Their wives also became very close friends, and though Ted 462 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: had an important job with the government employment agency, they 463 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: didn't spend too much time talking about their professional lives. 464 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 6: Never talked to any business. Really. I knew what Clay did. 465 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 6: I knew he was a private investigator, and that's as 466 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 6: far as I went in terms of knowing what kind 467 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 6: of work he did. 468 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: Did you ever get the chance to visit Clay at Intercept, 469 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: the agency in Parne where he worked as a private investigator. 470 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 6: Yeah. I was on an errand with Clay. He asked 471 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 6: me to ride with him someplace I don't pick up something, 472 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 6: maybe for the house, I don't remember right now, but 473 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 6: he said I have to stop offer at the office. 474 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 6: You want to come up? 475 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 4: I said sure. 476 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 6: He introduced me to Bob Adams and another fellow there. 477 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 4: And I had. 478 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 6: Understood from Clay that these were former intelligence people from 479 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 6: the federal government, whether it's CIA, army intelligence, they were 480 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 6: all associated. I think that's how Clay got to know 481 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 6: these people through the army and intelligence contacts. And I 482 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 6: was up there for a few minutes, looked around, and 483 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 6: it was a nice office, and they had what I 484 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 6: thought was an awfully large computer set up. You know, 485 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 6: it wasn't at that time anything that I've ever seen 486 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 6: in a small office. These weren't laptops us like what 487 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 6: today would be described as service in other words, that's 488 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 6: where all the main memory was contained. And no more 489 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 6: than that. 490 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: You worked for a government agency, how would you compare 491 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: the technology of that computer compared to what you had 492 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: at your office. 493 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 6: Most government offices have a desktop and a little serve 494 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 6: on the bottom. But this thing was, I mean to 495 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 6: describe it close to Xerox machine at that time, you know, 496 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 6: one of these heavy duty office machines. It was that 497 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 6: kind of setup. Clay said, this was their computer system. 498 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 6: I just was impressed that such a small office would 499 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 6: have such a an enormous setup for computers. 500 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: And at the time because of the size of the 501 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: computer that would be directly in keeping with its capability, 502 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: so it would have been advanced and expensive at the time. 503 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 6: I would imagine him. You know, you usually see those 504 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 6: in movies today where they could access almost anything as 505 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 6: they do in the movies. I don't know what these 506 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 6: guys accessed on that computer, but I'm sure it was 507 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 6: more than what a citizen could attain on a home 508 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 6: computer or an office computer. 509 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: The computer capabilities of the agency stuck out to ted, 510 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: but there was nothing that stuck out as odd in 511 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: terms of Clay's job. Did he ever give you any 512 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: indication that he was worried about his safety or involved 513 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: with people who could be dangerous, No intercept. 514 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 6: With their backgrounds. Were probably doing very sophisticated investigations on 515 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 6: the side for the government. That was my impression. Not 516 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 6: that they were involved in any of the local drug 517 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 6: business that was rampant in Miami at the time. 518 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: I never suspected that, and if that were the case, 519 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: Clay probably wouldn't have brought you to his place of work. 520 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 6: Well. I was quite happy with his employers over there. 521 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 6: They seem to have a good ripport. When I went 522 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 6: up to the office, and there was nothing sinister about 523 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 6: the place at all. 524 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: But Intercept was a fairly new job for Clay. Correct. 525 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, he lived in Carolinas and he came into Miami. 526 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 6: He would have I don't know where he would have 527 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 6: known them from outside of Miami. 528 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: And there was nothing about Clay's lifestyle that would suggest 529 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: he was enjoying the lucrative benefits and a legal source 530 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: of income would afford. Remember, the group of friends rotated 531 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: home maintenance projects to save money, and that lack of 532 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: money was also apparent when Clay's widow was left with 533 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: four kids, one of them a newborn. 534 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 6: There was no money. She went to work. She had 535 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 6: to go to work. I mean, they depended on Clay's 536 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 6: income for everything, and. 537 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: So they weren't stockpiling money anywhere. 538 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 6: God No, Sandra had to go back to work as 539 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 6: soon as she could. She worked as a legal secretary. 540 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 6: She needed to support to support her family. I believe 541 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 6: she got some benefits from Social Security as a widows 542 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 6: with children or something like that, but that was certain 543 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 6: that didn't cover her expenses at the house and kids 544 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 6: in school and stuff like that. 545 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: So Clay wasn't making a notable income at the time 546 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: immediately before his death, which was also unnotable, at least 547 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: in terms of the media coverage. There wasn't press attention 548 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: to his disappearance. 549 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 6: No, no, there was nothing in the press. Why well, 550 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 6: I guess there were other stories. He had to remember. 551 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 6: Miami at that time was a wild town, and we 552 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 6: never saw anything in the press about it. I don't 553 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 6: even think there was an obituary column about Clay. 554 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: Do you remember where you were or how you first 555 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 1: learned that Clay's body had been found. 556 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, we were sitting with Sondra and maybe that's when 557 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 6: the police came in and informed her they found the 558 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 6: remains in the Everglades and suspected it was Clay, and 559 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 6: then they did some forensic work on the remains and 560 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 6: confirmed that it was Clay. But at that time I said, oh, 561 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 6: that can't be right. I always felt now, but he's 562 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 6: going to walk in because this is who Clay is. 563 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 6: He's very family oriented and half the time when you 564 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 6: Sandra had to go to work and the kids went 565 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 6: to school, and it was it was something that I 566 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 6: had to accept that he wasn't coming back. 567 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: Clay didn't return, although his car did show up as 568 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: his daughter mentioned in the Lone Star State. 569 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 6: I don't know how it ever got to Texas. Anyways, 570 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 6: they found the car, Customs I believe was the agency 571 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 6: that contacted the family about the car. 572 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: Were law enforcement helpful to her at the time, I 573 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: don't think so. 574 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 6: They wanted information from her, but they wouldn't give her 575 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 6: any information. That was that kind of relationship. It was 576 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 6: their investigation and you had no right to ask questions 577 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 6: about it. 578 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: Looking back now, do you have any theories as to 579 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: what had happened? 580 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, it pretty much confirms my suspicions that he was 581 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 6: on to something and that whoever he was on to 582 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 6: found out about it and he had him killed. I 583 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 6: thought it was more a high end gangster killing than 584 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 6: it was a drug related. 585 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: Thing like Phil and Clay's daughter. Ted also recalls a 586 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 1: very prominent police presence at Clay's memorial service. 587 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 6: What I thought would be just family turned out to 588 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 6: be a parade of suits. I remember them lining up 589 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 6: against the wall standing and it just struck me as 590 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 6: so many of these law enforcement types, including the people 591 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 6: from Intercept, and it was unusual for that kind of 592 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 6: group to be at a funeral. And if anybody watches 593 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 6: enough police TV. They always noticed that the police are 594 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 6: always there at a suspected death funeral, but this was 595 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 6: unusually law group. There must have been about a dozen 596 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 6: of them in a small reception room at a memorial 597 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 6: funeral place. It was crowded, you know, for a small 598 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 6: room with these guys standing around. It's the only way 599 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,439 Speaker 6: I could describe it. It wasn't a massive room, but 600 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 6: these guys were filling up the space. 601 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: So they were hard to ignore. He couldn't take Nor 602 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: did you get the feeling at the time that they 603 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: were there to send a message. 604 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 6: No. I kind of suspected that they were there because 605 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 6: they had some interest in Clay, not a message, just 606 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 6: wanted to pay their respects to a colleague. 607 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: But funeral guests aside who would have killed Clay and 608 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: why his children were left without a father and without 609 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: answers to questions that have remained for more than forty years. 610 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: Ted still struggles with the senselessness, just as he did 611 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: after Clay's death, Even after. 612 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 6: They found body and we had the memorial service. I 613 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 6: just couldn't believe that Clay wouldn't be walking in the 614 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 6: door one day. But it never happened, just carrying around 615 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 6: his cremains in the car until they were disposed of 616 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 6: by our friend. It typrovided what was the remaining of 617 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 6: Clay because the cremains were in a box like a 618 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 6: three by five box, an index card box that's about 619 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 6: the size of it, and normally cremains go in a 620 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 6: larger container, but there wasn't much of him to dispose 621 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 6: of it, and our friend, usual friend took his ashes 622 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 6: out to the ocean and put him in the water, 623 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 6: which was a very sad experience because the girls were there. 624 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 6: That pretty much ended the story of Clayton a little 625 00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 6: box of ashes dispersed at seen a very good friend. 626 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 6: It was a trauma that the family lived through for 627 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 6: many years. They never really had closure. 628 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: So why didn't the police or intercept ever get to 629 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: the bottom of who killed Clay Williams Back to Phil Stanford. 630 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big question that's still hanging out there. 631 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 2: One explanation, one possible explanation is that somehow. 632 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 4: They were involved. 633 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 2: I mean, there was a lot of corruption in the 634 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 2: Sheriff's department at that time. In fact, half of the 635 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 2: homicide squad twenty eight to fifty six were either under 636 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 2: suspension or under indictment. They've been taking money off of 637 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 2: dead bodies and undoubtedly involved in the drug trade, so 638 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 2: it's possible they had some sort of deal with Clay, 639 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 2: which would explain why they've lost the records. 640 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: For God's sake, another possibility is that he was working 641 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: with them as some kind of an formant, and maybe 642 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: Intercept had something to do with his death. 643 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 2: I certainly didn't think so at the time, but the 644 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 2: more we look into it, the more possible it seems, 645 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 2: at least that Intercept connections had something to do with them. 646 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 2: I know that Clay's friend had the idea that he 647 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 2: was working for the government at that time. If he 648 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 2: was working for the government, it was because he'd been 649 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 2: caught by law enforcement and turned into an informant. 650 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: Unless Devil's Advocate he was there undercover. 651 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 2: That's so unusual that at this level to have an 652 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 2: undercover cop posing as. 653 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 4: A drug dealer. 654 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: But how would you also explain the fact that his 655 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: family had no money. I mean, the friend group were 656 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: taking turns and helping one another on house projects because 657 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: they didn't have money to hire outside contractors. And also 658 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: she had to go to work immediately after Clay's death, if. 659 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 2: He had been working for the government in any sort 660 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 2: of official capacity, they would have had money. And so 661 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 2: the lack of money I think is more than likely 662 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 2: evidence that he Remember he just started an intercept they 663 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 2: were making the major part of their money from drugs, 664 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 2: and hadn't been there long enough. Let's suppose to cash. 665 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 6: In on that. 666 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 2: One of the major incentives for getting into some risky 667 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 2: business like drug dealing is that you don't have money 668 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 2: and you want to get it as much and as 669 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 2: fast as possible. And so you can turn that lack 670 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 2: of money around one hundred and eighty degrees and make 671 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 2: it an argument why he would have been involved, perhaps 672 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 2: in some sort of drug deal. And so for me, 673 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 2: the question is whose side was he on? Very likely 674 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,479 Speaker 2: or there was a double cross, whether he double cross 675 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 2: someone or someone doublecross him and. 676 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 4: He got killed and dumped in the everplage. 677 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but why and by whom? 678 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah? 679 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 2: And it's still an open murder case in Miami Dade 680 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 2: and they can't find the papers. 681 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,919 Speaker 4: Makes you wonder, doesn't. 682 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: On the next murder of Miami, Phil Stamford returns to Washington. 683 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 2: So I got in touch with a radical peace and 684 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 2: justice organization. 685 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: Leading him back to Miami with a dangerous new mission. 686 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: You're lucky you didn't get yourself killed. 687 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I suppose so. 688 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: Before accepting a life altering invitation. 689 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 2: Lamour wants to meet me at the Mutiny, the hangout 690 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 2: for all the premier drugs monsters in Miami. 691 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: Murder of Miami is a production of iHeart Radio.
