A proposito di questo titolo

In 1980, I proudly joined law enforcement here in South Florida, the "Casablanca" of the Western hemisphere during the era of the big, tropical "snowstorm" of cocaine that blew northward from South America. I worked in the Organized Crime Bureau (OCB) as a vice cop. Perhaps not as glamorous as TV portrayed us (except for the beautiful scenery, awesome flavors of multicultural cuisine and sounds of exotic music); but the drama could never be overplayed! Join us for “True Crime” stories from those who lived and dined along the mean streets of 1980s South Florida.JJ Sears Crimini reali
  • Episode 5: Home Not So Sweet Home Invaders
    Nov 6 2025

    My Law Enforcement career included various assignments. After nearly a decade working undercover as a Vice cop, I transferred to the Robbery Bureau. The perps were not the big names of Organized Crime figures, but their evil doing was just as damaging to Society.

    How about the 12 year old kid who, with his partners, knocked off a series of all-night stores and gas stations in and across two South Florida counties while armed with shotguns. The oldest of the group was 17. At three in the morning, my partner and I were eating “lunch” and witnessed - through a plate glass window - the perps fleeing from a gas station across the street. Leaving my delicious chicken wings on the table (my partner left his French onion soup and fried clam strips), we jumped in our unmarked vehicle and gave chase for miles down the Palmetto Expressway and into Pinecrest near the area of the infamous FBI shootout of 1986. After crashing their car into ours, we jumped out and took them down before they could gain their senses.

    Turned out the 12 year old was charged with murder at 9 years of age. “Ohhh… but he’s just a child!” Yeah, right!

    I handled a few home invasion robberies over the years, and the modus operandi ranged from kicking in doors, knockin and sockin, driveway ambushes then into the house at gunpoint, and climbing through windows.

    I offer only a few home invasion cases I worked in this episode. And unfortunately they can only be told in a graphic way. There’s no other way to describe these stories.

    Just know this! Violent crime and horrific victimization doesn’t happen to everyone, but it can happen to anyone. So, be careful and mindful of your surroundings … even while at your home sweet home!

  • Episode 4: The Halloween Show and Serial Killers
    Oct 30 2025

    Welcome to Episode 4! FINALLY!! After all the heralding I made during previous episodes about our Halloween Show, IT IS HERE! This episode features an edited recording of a local radio show I hosted 22 years ago here in the Miami, Florida area. And it was one of my favorite shows while on the radio. DeeJaying radio shows became my so-called “night job” and producing the radio and TV shows on various OTA (Over-the-air) broadcast stations demanded serious creativity. Of course, I did this during my later years as a law enforcement officer with assignments that permitted me to take on outside endeavors that added to my quality of life… physically, emotionally and mentally. It helped to keep potential PTSD at bay. So, tune in and enjoy this episode that has been a pleasure to produce!

    By the way, I hosted shows on various radio stations using different monikers. My alias in this show, “Mega Nights” was “Joey G the Iceman.” LOL! And that in itself requires a separate episode to explain why this name.

  • Episode 3: Panamanian Strongman Manuel Noriega
    Oct 27 2025

    Welcome to Episode 3!! I’m your host, Jonas Sears and I have repeated time and time again, “nothing is new under the sun!” As U.S military warships build up in the Caribbean and the sinking of governmentally-professed drug boats pushing through the waters of the long-used “Cocaine Superhighway,” I am reminded of former strongman, Dictator Manuel Noriega who took the people of Panama through a myriad of madness. His name came up many times during my assignment as a Vice cop working narcotics during the 80s prior to Noriega’s capture and imprisonment for massive cocaine smuggling into the United States and beyond.

    CHECK IT OUT! And enjoy!
