Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force

The Colombian Cartel Doctor (1x12)

Air date: Jan 20, 2009

15 years ago, in a Bogotá court house, a man was charged with brutally murdering his wife. He was allegedly the physician for an infamous Colombian Drug Cartel, one of the largest and most notorious drug organizations in the world. With the help of his "connections" witnesses disappeared, the trial was tainted, and he got away with murder. But years later, his case was resurrected by a new judge and he was found guilty, sentenced to 28 years in prison. The only problem was, he had disappeared. When the US Marshals get a tip that this killer might be hiding in their backyard, living under the radar in suburban New Jersey, Commander Lenny DePaul pulls in Supervisor Tommy Kilbride, Detective Roxanne Lopez, and Deputy Marshal Michelle Mendez to work the case. But finding the man is only part of the challenge... keeping tabs on him without getting caught while they await a warrant from Colombia proves to be more difficult.
