They worked the streets. They built the cases.
In this episode of The Brighter Side of Blue, retired narcotics legends Tommy Murphy and Det. Leo Rice join the crew to reveal their picks for the top dope men in St. Louis of an era — names that dominated the streets, headlines, and federal dockets from the 1990s through the 2010s.
From wiretaps to Winnebagos, car chases to courtrooms, and murders to million-dollar busts, Murphy and Rice take us inside some of the most unforgettable narcotics investigations ever to hit the STL.
And of course, no episode like this would be complete without mentioning the legendary duo “Tommy & Tommy” — Tommy Murphy and Tommy Llewellyn — whose work shaped an entire era of major narcotics enforcement in St. Louis.
