GLAMOUR PROFESSION

MAYCAY ORIGIN STORY


Listen Later

In recent years, the cocaine gold rush by Colombian cartels in the 70s and 80s, has become gangster mythology.

We've been inundated by shows like Narcos, Cocaine Cowboys, American Made and others that have attempted to tell the stories of Pablo Escobar, Giselle de Blanco, Barry Seal and Carlos Lehder and the Medellin Cartel.

Pilot Jack Carlton Reed, was a world record holding drag racer before making the decision to begin smuggling cocaine in the 70s.

After being introduced to Lehder, he would move to Norman's Cay and for almost four years assisted him on the infamous Bahamian island that the government claims moved tons of cocaine into the United States.

Jack Reed would eventually be the Co-defendant to later in the longest running drug trial in American history.

Convicted and given two life sentences, he would refuse all interview requests, book and film offers, until a fellow pilot and journalist named MayCay Beeler, convinced him to tell his story.

The two would form an indelible bond, leading to rewriting his memoirs for Beeler's book The Buccaneer and MayCay questioning how a non-violent offender could be given multiple life sentences.

In Criminal Minded Media's new podcast Glamour Profession we take a look at Jack Reed's adventures and give listeners the real story of Norman's Cay.

We also take a deep dive into the drug trial of Reed and his close friend Carlos Lehder.

Finally, MayCay Beeler our co-pilot in the telling of this epic story tells listeners about her two year battle with the government to see Jack Reed released from prison.
