Murphy’s career took him to Colombia, where he was directly involved in the monumental effort to dismantle Pablo Escobar’s Medellín cartel. Arriving in Bogotá shortly after Escobar's surrender to his infamous prison, the Cathedral, Murphy witnessed firsthand the complexities and collateral damages associated with fighting drug lords. He worked alongside legendary agents Javier Peña and Gary Sheridan, contributing to the pursuit and eventual killing of Escobar in 1993—a moment Murphy describes as highly rewarding yet fraught with peril.
