Picture Miami. Picture its beaches. Picture the palm trees. Swain in the wind. Picture three radio

0:10.8

journalists assassinated in cold blood. They left the body there for reason. It was the

0:17.4

calling call. It's like the mafia's the death. They can kill us. Anyone else was at

0:22.3

the end time. Most people come to Miami after the sun and the sand. I was in Miami as

0:28.2

a reporter and I looked past the palm trees. I first covered these murders almost 30 years

0:35.2

ago. But they were never solved and they left an open wound. The radio journalists had

moved to Miami from Haiti. They were using a new found freedom and the radio airwaves

to ignite a revolution at home. And that's when the killing started. You're picking off

1:08.6

Haiti. And yet the mastermind has never been called. To find him we had to go deep into

1:17.4

a world of drugs and darkness, talking to agents from the FBI and DEA. It's very difficult

1:24.4

to determine how much cocaine is coming in. It's like asking people how many people

1:31.8

had sex last night in Miami. Good luck trying to find that out. And then there were these

1:36.0

hints of a much bigger conspiracy. This year I clearly gave it me a light because those

1:43.1

guys were on the payroll. This was very real. If there is one thing I've learned in all

1:48.2

my time as a reporter is this. You cannot kill the truth with the bullet.

1:55.2

I'm Osvaloshian and I'm Anna Arana. Listen to Silence, the radio murders. Starting April
