Murder in Miami is a production of iHeartRadio. What follows is a particularly gruesome tale of a gory cartel murder, as told by one of Phil Stafford's former girlfriends during his early days in Miami, Ruth, who also worked for the Miami News.
My favorite cocaine murder I shouldn't say favorite, but anyway, it was the cocaine cartels. The way they murdered people. They put them on their knees, tied their hands behind their back, and shot them in the back of the head, right and they killed quote, everybody that was home over two years old. But one of them was in Kendall,
which was a pseudo shishi area. You know, it was upper middle class and middle class people that lived out there, and they went in that apartment and killed everybody was home, except the woman that lived there that wrapped a towel around her neck and put the other end into the garbage disposal in the sink and turned it on and literally hung her from her sink. And I always wondered, what did she do that required that special attention, you know?
Goodness, Yeah, because.
Generally they just shot everybody and left. That was just the way it was then. With the cocaine cowboys, you had to be careful what areas you went into, not because they would be after you, but you didn't want to get hit. And the crossfire, you know, wow, because they just it's unbelievable how many people they murdered during that time.
