After The Murder Of Albert Lima

Five.

Keep going. Four.

Good. Drive your elbows. Try not to use your arms.

Squeeze right here.

Three. Two more.

Two.

We're just gonna do like 8 minutes on this

and then we'll stop.

Hello? Hey, Cindy.

I was just gonna try to call you

because I know it's so expensive for you to call me.

Don't even worry about it.

Cindy, did did the packages we sent arrive?

Mmhmm.

And one big piece of advice

the safest thing for you to do is,

you know, once you get him in your custody,

you gotta keep him down, move him out and don't stop.

Unless you can stuff him in the trunk

or, you know, or put him in a crate.

Yeah.

We III was thinking about that.

You know, I was thinking about potentially a large

piece of of luggage.

Well, you know what, you want to give me

Absolutely. I've got Haldol.

Absolutely.

And then how does something like that last?

It depends on how what his size is.

I'll go ahead and see if I can't get you 10 milligrams.

Bang, he'll be out.

That should knock him down for at least 6 to 8 hours.

Great. That would be very great.

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate you guys.

No problem, Paul. Alright. Talk soon.

Anything I can do to help. Thanks, Cindy.

Talk soon. Okay, bye.

Take care.

You know, I've thought a lot about

whether or not I'm gonna tell my mom about this trip.

And it's a no.

This is a situation where she's gonna try to mother me

and do whatever she can to convince me that

it's too dangerous.

She's gonna throw the "what ifs."

"What if something happens to you and I'm left by myself?"

And I've thought about that.

I have thought about that.

What's up, brother? What's up, big boy?

How are you doing? Good to see you.

You too. Come on in.

Alright.

I spoke to my contact on the island and

On On the island? In In Roatán.

Yes, the Crims.

One of the catches is, the Crims

are leaving the island, alright?

So we have to go now. Okay.

Cindy Crim says that she can get us a Haldol injection,

you know, she works in the hospital.

She said she'll teach us how to use it.

I think for sure, whatever we do,

we need to get the knockout juice.

Knock him out, right? For sure, knock him out.

Now, I have a jacket that I use for transport.

So, you can put, you can put the hands inside, handcuff him

this way, and then shhp, you zip it up and it looks like

he's got his hands in his pockets.

Then how do we move him?

Oh, he's a drunk guy. You know, we're gonna have to all

You mean, just plop

We're all gonna have to be drunk.

We're gonna be, "Ahh, let's go where we want to go to..."

And, you know, she could be holding one arm,

and I go, "My buddy's "

In Spanish I'm gonna say...

You know, we're gonna go, you know, we can come up

with some cool shit, you know what I'm saying?

Alright? Ah, I mean, I was thinking,

I mean, I don't know, you tell me.

I was thinking something like a bag.

Like we get a duffle bag like

He's kind of a big guy, isn't he?

I mean, we're gonna have suitcases.

And we're gonna have a lot of stuff that we're

Can we put him in a suitcase?

You know, I don't know if that's really a good

the greatest idea. No.

I don't know.

But they're they're gonna give us

they have three guns.

I mean, I don't know that much about guns,

but single action Lugers.

Does that mean anything to you? What caliber?

What it, what's what's what is the...?

It's an old German gun. It is a little .22,

you know, but they're I mean, I'm not I'm not

it's I don't envision it being like a pirate gun.

I'm sure that it's gonna be like, you know,

a normal gun that works.

But it's unregistered. It's gonna shoot.

It's gonna it's gonna shoot.

And... Are we staying at a hotel?

We are. Okay.

Based on what the Crims say,

the place that we are is the safest place to be.

It's owned by a drug cartel from what she says.

But she says don't let that scare you off because of that.

It's nice. It's a resort.

You know, one thing, I mean, this is something

that we can get into a little bit more

'cause we're talking more about the logistics,

but, I, at one point want to go back

to some of the legalities of this whole thing.

There are no laws.

I mean, people can people carry guns.

I mean, we're not gonna be the only people who have guns there.

I mean, so it's, there's no police force there.

From Fox 13, this is News Edge at 11:00.

For years now, the family of a Tampa attorney

has waited for justice

to be done in the murder of their husband and father.

Albert Lima was abducted and killed

in Honduras back in February of 2000.

Lawyer, businessman, son of Cuban immigrants

went down to Honduras to collect a debt and never came back.

Tragically, Albert Lima had been kidnapped and murdered.

There's not a day that I don't

wake up that that's the first thing that

I think about, and the last thing I think about

when I go to bed and he's not there.

When we found out my father's body had been found...

...first my mother let out a sound that I will never forget.

It was a sound that was like a lion when it roars.

It's It's It's a It was a sound that

that just just like, it's just like a sickening sound.

Just came out, it's like she opened her mouth

and she just let out this roar, and she collapsed into my arms.

And I remember at that moment taking all of her weight,

and literally it was me holding her up.

I lifted my mother up and all these people came

and they grabbed her and they took her away.

And I never felt that weight leave, ever.

This man killed my father, he is currently alive and well.

No one's doing anything about it.

The Supreme Court of Honduras has convicted him in absentia.

And so he's wanted and and he is due to serve 16 years

in prison, with a caveat he must be captured.

He's been paying cops for years.

No one is gonna arrest him.

A desperate man becomes desperate, you know.

He needs to go find somebody.

There's gotta be someone out there in the world

that can help me.

And I'm that guy.

That's what I specialize in, is tracking people.

I've been doing this probably about 25 years,

but this is about as max is as it gets, you know,

go find a murderer in a foreign country

and deposit him into a foreign jail.

Yeah, pretty strong.

You know, my primary concern was always that

we would not be breaking any of the laws.

But no one observes the laws.

We do have a warrant.

It's not very well documented.

But it does not appear that this is kidnapping per se,

under federal law.

I do wish that we had more time.

But, you know, I wouldn't be taking these kind of risks

if I didn't think that it was worthwhile.

My plan is to surveillance him, grab him, take him to a boat

that we will have chartered

and take him from the island of Roatán to La Ceiba,

which is on the mainland.

And we're gonna literally hand him off

to the captain of the prison.

I will never be able to move on with my life if I don't do this.

Hello.

Hey, Mama. Just checking on you.

Great.

I'm about to get on my flight. Just wanted to say goodbye.

Uh huh. Alright, Mama.

I love you. Love you too.

I'll call you when I get back.

Bye. Bye.

Who was that? My moms.

Fuck no, dude.

Yeah, I didn't tell my mom.

I didn't tell mine either. Really?

Perfect.

Honduras was always in my father's eyes, paradise.

The place that reminded him of his youth.

He was born very poor.

And he was very proud of his Latin heritage.

Being a Latino who fought to be educated

and to raise above his social status.

I remember him telling me that I was his legacy.

That one day he would die
