Thanks for sharing your frenetically anxious first-hand account. I hope to get back to the coast (just north of ILM) by the end of the weekend. I cannot transport diesel fuel on I-40, so I’ll trust that Colonial Terminals and others will stabilize the situation.

From the time I have known him (1992), he has investigated the worst of the worst in drug trafficking from Colombia and Mexico to the United States, Europe, Asia and Russia. He has saved countless lives and everything a cop and investigator should be. Nobody I know investigates to the extent Jack does and he is 100 percent correct on this one. WADA and the IOC need new leadership with the integrity of Jack Robertson. God Bless you our friend.
