EP 20 | DEBRIEF: Mad Cow & The Furniture King

When furniture tycoon Jose Lantigua allegedly died of "Mad Cow Disease" in Venezuela, he left behind a grieving family, a shadowy CIA past, and a massive $8 million paper trail. While his grieving widow prepared to collect, one insurance investigator smelled a rat.

In this special debrief episode, we sit down with Richard Marquez, the elite investigator hired to find out if Lantigua was truly dead or just remarkably creative. Marquez takes us behind the scenes of his high-stakes international manhunt, revealing how his team navigated the dangerous streets of Venezuela to track down the very doctor and crematorium workers who signed off on the fraud. Tune in for an inside look at how a master class in corporate deception was completely dismantled by a team that refused to believe in ghosts.
