Case[]
Details: Thirty-seven-year-old Adolph Altuve is a former associate of drug lord John Roubas. In November 1988, he was arrested in the Dominican Republic and charged with being involved in Roubas’ operation. It was alleged that he was a pilot who flew drug shipments as part of it. However, he was acquitted at his trial in April 1989. A friend gave him an alibi, claiming he was too physically debilitated by drinking and depression to fly the planes.
New charges of drug trafficking were later brought against Altuve. However, police have been unable to locate him.
Extra Notes:
- This case first aired on the October 2, 1994 episode, which focused on Roubas.
- It was excluded from the FilmRise release of the Robert Stack episodes.
Results: Captured - In July 2004, Altuve was arrested in Panama; he had been living there under the assumed name, “Gustavo Homero Mora Mora.” He also had a Venezuelan passport under the name, “Esteban Zambrano Daso.” He was returned to the United States. In December 2006, several of the charges against him were dropped. He served time in federal prison on other charges and has since been released.
