Rafael Caro Quintero And The Forgotten Murdered Americans (10/17/25)
Rafael Caro Quintero, a notorious Mexican drug lord and co-founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, is widely accused of ordering the abduction, torture, and murder of two American citizens in 1985: John Clay Walker, an American writer and journalist, and Albert (Al) Radelat, a dentistry student. The two men had innocently walked into a private party held by associates of Caro Quintero in Guadalajara, and were mistaken by his operatives for undercover DEA agents
Witness and investigative accounts say the men were taken to a back room of the restaurant, interrogated, and tortured—Radelat reportedly forced to endure ice-pick probing, and Walker struck to death on site through blunt trauma. Radelat is believed to have been still alive when taken elsewhere, wrapped and buried in a park; their remains were discovered six months later
