I know these guys are bad news.
Call 911 right now.
So we called 911, told them what was happening.
We were being chased down the freeway.
Eventually, run out of gas, park on the side of the freeway, but they were so dumbfounded as to why we're parking on the side of the freeway that they just park behind us and don't get out of the car for a few minutes, and then the police shows up.
And then they come up with a silly story that they thought I was an ex-girlfriend stalking them.
And and then we took down their license plate and my husband started looking into them.
They ended up in prison at federal time.
Part of it they were using that the surveillance tapes they used was part of our conversations.
They were talking about us and our investigation into them and the OxyContin Express.
But my husband stayed in touch, basically wrote them a letter when they were in prison.
And we were deciding on whether he should say, hey, it was the guy who directed Oxycontin Express, but he didn't.
And he just said, hey, my name is Darren Foster.
I'm a documentary filmmaker.
I've been fascinated by you.
They ran the biggest prescription pill operation in American history.
Like they were the Pablo Escobar of America, basically.
They were making millions and millions of dollars out of a couple of storefronts in Florida.
And so he contacted them and they wrote back and said, yeah, I'm interested.
And by the way, say hi to your wife.
