Pablo Escobar was one of the most dangerous men in the world, and he had a bounty on Steve Murphy’s head. For 18 months, Murphy and his partner Javier Peña hunted Escobar across Colombia, often missing the drug lord by minutes. Murphy joins Gary Jubelin to share how they finally captured the king of cocaine, and why he took the famous photo.
