Wow, cluciano and LolaMoon...chills just went up my spine ! Because of JP's death many things that were hidden may come to light !
Yes. I've seen some PSA's that advise people not to tell anyone you are taking pain pills and to lock them up. Especially lock them up to keep them from family and friends who live with you or visit. locally some LE officers have been busted for stealing pain meds out of the houses they visit. Apartment managers are another problem since they have keys. I've noticed a trend in crimes recently where addicts wrongly or rightly assume that someone has pills in their home. This has led to the home occupants experiencing home invasions or worse become the victims of murder. Does anyone remember the young woman who shot that guy trying to break into her house? The perp knew her husband had recently passed away of cancer. He figured that meant there were pills in the home and was breaking in to steal them.
Delusional, I think. Drug addicts always think they are out-smarting everyone. Story time!
Thanks to his pill abuse, my bil ended up living with us for a time several years ago. Needless to say, the constant lying and doctor-hopping had us searching my guest room like drug dogs every time he left the house. One time, we found a ziploc bag of 400 :what: pills that after a little search on the internet, proved to be muscle relaxers. I told my husnband "Watch - he's gonna say they are Tylenol", and he didn't disappoint! He was not going to let go of that Tylenol story if you put a gun to his head. Needless to say, I don't know too many people that would chase you down and get that upset when you flushed their Tylenol down the toilet. Addicts always think you just fell off the turnip truck, so to speak.
Sadlly even not telling and locking them up doesn't always help. My 71 year old Uncle (a disabled Vet) was murdered when he surprised his neighbor's son trying to break into the lock box where he kept his pills.
The prep is currently in jail and going to trial in April on a Capital Murder charge. He had 25 prior arrests for a variety of offenses.

OMG, I never realized that went for that much on the streets. I have had several surguries over the last few years and had RXs for most of those listed one time or another. Never would I have dream that had that type of value sitting in my cabinet....should have them in a safe.

"A close friend of Perdomo's told WFTV that the firefighter was selling pills he got from at least one pain clinic in DeBary."
"Perdomo's friend of six years said the firefighter began making trips north without the drugs, only to see a friend who'd moved from central Florida. That friend allegedly introduced Porter to Perdomo and Porter's girlfriend Cheyanne Nowak. Then, the prescription drug deals allegedly began.
He said he was concerned Perdomo would find trouble as he dealt wit Porter and the world of prescription drug trafficking.
It allegedly happened as often as once a month. The friend said no one, not even Perdomo's wife Tanya knew what was happening."
Could be, WFTV late night news said Seminole County in cooperation with Maine is opening an investigation as to where JP got the pills.
BBM: Lisa?
No it is a male friend in FL. Just posted the link to the video of the interview in the above post but here it is again.

I think she was wondering who the friend was that moved to ME from FL.
That is what I also thought. The video does not say who moved from FL To ME.
Perhaps it was Lisa?
It crossed my mind too that Lisa might be the one he was talking about. It makes more since that he would drive all that way every month to see her if their affair started in FL.
