Ep. 9 - Here’s what happens when you look like a drug dealer

  • Summary

  • It’s January of 1989 and Columbus Dispatch reporters Robin Yocum and Cathy Candisky have a pretty clear picture of how the multi-million-dollar scam was supposed to work.

    What they don’t know is the whereabouts of co-conspirators
    John Hawkins and Gene Hanson.

    Until . . .

    At 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 29, 1989, American Airlines Flight 150 from Acapulco lands at the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport. As the passengers are filing off, customs officials see a man coming off a flight who looks nervous and is in a big hurry.

    Customs officials think he’s a drug dealer. He’s not, but the running is about to be over for Gene Hanson.
