Manage episode 496990833 series 3526171
Cassandra Harvey and her son, Joshua Harvey, of Festus MO who were the owners of Miracle Cleaning Products Inc, were the central figures of Operation WEBSLINGER, the DEA's most significant national investigation to date targeting a prolific trafficking organization distributing GHB, GBL and 1-4 BD, all of which can be used as date rape drugs. This operation developed evidence sufficient to convict the Harvey's and other traffickers with using the internet and the anonymity of cyberspace to distribute these dangerous drugs. Through this investigation, DEA was able to track these predatory drugs and their analogues from legitimate chemical wholesalers to the Harvey’s, who then packaged the drugs for both wholesale and retail distribution. Through this international investigation DEA was able to bring charges against 175 individuals in North America and Europe and to slow the spread of these highly dangerous controlled substances.
