The place is spectacular, surrounded by a beautiful white fence and stone columns, and woods for miles to ride horses. The ranch is truly beautiful and totally fit with who Diane and Tex were. hanging on the wall, a sign that said, We don't dial 911, with an old rusted pistol mounted right under.

Danny Joe Carter had been out at the ranch on September 25, 2016, and Danny Joe, Diane, Tex, and Craig Stringer laughed for a night of steaks, red wine, and laughter at the Longhorn Steakhouse. This was a nice outing for the friends, especially for Danny Joe and Diane, who were still working on repairing old wounds of some bumpy moments in their friendship.

But tonight, things were good, and Danny Joe was acting as the designated driver, taking Diane and Tex to Atlanta after their dinner in the McIvers Ford Expedition SUV. Diane was the passenger. Tex sat behind her. As they approached the connector, traffic was backed up for miles.

My name is Dale Cardwell. I cut my teeth as an investigative reporter in Atlanta, often chasing down public figures with much to say, but also much to hide. I've run all over the city in a news van chasing scammers, liars, and downright bad people. One reporting run proved to be faithful.

I was working on a story about a controversial airport advertising plan at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, full of lawsuits and money. And there, I met a man named Billy Corey, a well-known businessman and behind-the-scenes political power broker and kingmaker. That day, Billy Corey encouraged me to go after that story. We struck up a friendship and continued to stay in touch over the years.

As I continued on in my career, I imagined I had my own set of superpowers and decided to set off in a new direction. I quit my local TV gig at WSB TV in Atlanta and ran for the U.S. Senate. I'm Dale Cardwell. You may know me from my 23 years as an investigative reporter, but for the past year, I've been...

As I was driving in Atlanta thinking about my campaign and what I could do to really make a splash, I passed by Corrie Tower and I had an idea. I made an appointment with Mr. Corey, sat in his office, and told him I wanted to spend as much time as I possibly can camping out on the top of your tower to make a big splash.

Something that would be picked up not by just the local media, but everywhere. I wanted to go viral before that was a thing. Billy Corey said it was okay. Go for it. He owned the tower after all. The tower stands 300 feet tall, located right at what locals call the connector heading north into Atlanta from the airport.
