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.

Unlike many confidential informants, Andrew did not start out with working off a case. In 1984, Andrew walked into the St. Louis DEA building to inquire about being an agent against the war on drugs. Andrew did not qualify to be because he did not have a college degree but he left still wanting to be involved. He came back later that day with his first case. The first day, Andrew met Special Agent Michele Leonhart who would later become the DEA Administrator. He would also meet the future Head of Operations. These relationships would last decades and result in some eye popping numbers which are told during the show. Andrew worked with many agencies in many different cities.
