True Crime in the 50

Missouri: Robert Courtney


Listen Later

Robert Courtney grew up as the son of a revivalist preacher, moving around to Alabama, Kansas and Louisiana before settling in Missouri. He was a strange child and never had many friends. But he graduated from the University of Missouri, met and married three times, had five children and became a successful pharmacist. So successful, in fact, that he lived in a mansion and bought an office in downtown Kansas City, Missouri called the Research Medical Center Tower.

Robert Courtney could also mix chemotherapy drugs, and he sold the chemo drugs to many of the doctors who had practices in the tower, and around town. He was soon a millionaire. But, after a chance encounter with a drug rep from Eli Lilly and one of Courtney's doctor's nurses, things started to look fishy. Many suspected that Courtney was not mixing enough of the chemo drug Gemzar for his patients. What would follow would be an FIB sting operation and the realization that the trusted pharmacist was actually a greedy criminal, and was not to be trusted at all.
