He built a heroin empire across twenty-one states, got turned down by the Mafia and outlasted it anyway, earning more in a year than most companies ever will. In 1973, days before facing a life sentence, Frank "Black Caesar" Matthews vanished with millions in cash — never found.
The deepest look yet at America's most powerful forgotten kingpin: the informant who cracked his empire, the lawyer who paid with his life for it, and the 53-year manhunt that's never ended.
Part of our series on the Philly-NY drug wars — watch our Tyrone Palmer episode for where it begins.
