Listen Later

In 1976, Key West Fire Chief Bum Farto was convicted of dealing cocaine right out of the firehouse where he worked. However, instead of spending 15 to 31 years behind bars, El Jefe had other plans.

Bum went on the lam, and despite the FBI’s best efforts, was never brought to justice.

WHERE IS BUM FARTO?

Join Kyle and Nate as they try to track down one of Florida's most legendary characters: a cigar-smoking, Santería practitioning pillar of the community: the convicted drug dealing fire chief and fugitive from justice, Bum Farto.
