Local 10 News tours Pablo Escobar's former Miami Beach home

Neighborhood 10 News was given access inside the Miami Beach home of previous medication ruler Pablo Escobar on the eve of its destruction.

Escobar obtained the waterfront property at 5860 N. Cove Road for $762,500 on March 20, 1980, in spite of the fact that the paper deed got by Miami-Dade County property records demonstrates he paid just $10.

The property offers a beautiful perspective of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. It was obtained in 2014 and will be crushed to make space for the present proprietor's new house.

Escobar was the leader of the Medellin Cartel and is accepted to have supplied the United States with 80 percent of the cocaine pirated into the nation. He was murdered in a shootout with police in Colombia in 1993.

New proprietor Christian Berdouare heard stories from neighbors about mystery carter operations that Escobar arranged from his flamingo pink home on the straight.

Movie producer Billy Corben, whose "Cocaine Cowboys" narrative chronicled Escobar and the cartel business that put Miami on the bad habit map, said the DEA grabbed the house in 1987.

"By 1990, the DEA in South Florida possessed likely more land than any other person," Corben said.

The proprietor has gone through the previous week with development teams punching openings in the dividers, floors and yard searching for Escobar's concealed crown jewels.

Nearby 10 News correspondent Glenna Milberg said they did discover something, despite the fact that what and from where is a mystery to be uncovered in an up and coming narrative.

"It's either cash or it's gold or it's gems or it's arms or it's medications or it's a dead body," Berdouare said.
