Miami’s High-Rise Spider-Man: Derek James, The Cat Burglar Who Climbed 30 Stories

He scaled luxury towers without ropes and vanished with millions. Miami called him Spider-Man. This Daring Capers episode traces the jaw-dropping spree of Derek James, the high-rise cat burglar who left a “half-moon” nose print on balcony glass and scuff marks up 30-story walls. From Miami Beach to Palm Beach, investigators chase a thief who picks only the finest jewels and knows exactly where to find them. When credit card charges for custom rims on a green Ford Explorer surface at Villaman Tires, a quiet stakeout at a Miami Lakes gas station cracks the case open in a way no one expected. A Bristol Towers bracelet, an ex-probation officer girlfriend, and a jeweler’s testimony shift the investigation from myth to man. Discover how a paratrooper’s past met a city’s false sense of security, and why a million-dollar bail could not stop the story from getting stranger. Watch to see how the clues connect and what finally brought Spider-Man down. Watch now for the full case, the methods, and the moment it all unraveled. #TrueCrime #Miami #DaringCapers #CatBurglar #SpiderManBurglar #HighRiseHeist
