59. The Investigation that took down Pablo Escobar with Steve Murphy and Javier Pena of DEA Narcos
Description
The Investigation Game is back! In this episode, Leah talks with Retired DEA Special Agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena, whose real-life story inspired the hit Netflix series NARCOS.
Retired DEA Special Agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena were at the center of the largest, most complex, multi-national, high-profile investigation of its time. Working with an elite Colombian Task Force, Murphy and Pena were responsible for the downfall and capture of the world’s first narco-terrorist, the infamous drug cartel leader, Pablo Escobar, following his brutal reign as head of the Medellin Cartel in the 1980s and early 1990s. Living and working alongside their Colombian national police counterparts in Columbia and with the elite US military units, their efforts resulted in the dismantlement of the largest and most violent international drug trafficking organization of its time. US and international law enforcement continue to utilize many of the strategies and innovative ideas created and implemented by Steve and Javier.
In addition to their individual efforts, Steve and Javier are the founders of DEA Narcos, LLC and Co-host the Game of Crimes Podcast.
