In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, Dave sits down with Terry to talk about his extraordinary life, from his early days as a safe blower, to becoming connected with serious underworld figures, to ending up on the battlefields of Angola as a mercenary fighting communist-backed guerrillas.

And then there’s the story that sounds almost impossible to believe…

Dave Tomkins claims he was hired to kill Pablo Escobar.

This is a wild journey through crime, danger, war, survival and the kind of old-school underworld stories you simply don’t hear anymore.

Raw, outrageous and unbelievable, this is the Dave Tomkins story.

Watch now and let us know in the comments: is this one of the craziest lives we’ve ever had on the podcast?
