Cocaine Cowboys, the Scarface Documentary

Unread post by LOYALTYISKEY » March 2nd, 2007, 4:25 pm

The incredible true story that inspired "Scarface" and "Miami Vice".

In the 1980s, ruthless Colombian cocaine barons invaded Miami with a brand of violence unseen in this country since Prohibition-era Chicago - and it put the city on the map. "Cocaine Cowboys" is the true story of how Miami became the drug, murder and cash capital of the United States, told by the people who made it all happen.

one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen, and the interview with Rivi from prison was just raw. Never heard an interview like that before.

The FBI finally caught that murderous woman in California. When they arrested her she was reading a Bible.

She was arrested in 1985 living the life of a normal housewife in Irvine, CA by the FBI. She spent nearly 20 years in U.S. prisons, was released in 2004 and deported back to Colombia. Her three older sons had been previously deported to Colombia, and murdered shortly after their arrival. Her current whereabouts are unknown. Here's an interesting page on her:

after she was deported to Columbia, has anyone seen her? If her sons were murdered, then my guess she was murdered too.

On another board I frequent, a poster in the L.A. area knew someone connected to her and he said she's still alive.
