KY KY - Jackie Blair, 52, Letcher County, July 2000

In October of 2000, Jack Blair was found dead inside his car more than 200 feet over Pine Mountain along U.S. 119 in Letcher County. His body was wrapped in jumper cables...

Just before his disappearance, Blair was arrested in a cocaine conspiracy case. He later pleaded guilty to the charges.

However, Bolling tells WYMT that is not the man her father was. "We were kept completely in the dark. You know, you hear the term, people having a double life, he had a double life because as far as we knew, he got up in the mornings and he went to work and he came home and he was our dad," said Bolling.

People quickly concluded that someone killed Blair because he had squealed to the cops about big-time drug dealers — even though police insist Blair never told them about any drug activity except his own.

Police have still not solved the death of Jackie Blair, 52, whose skeletal remains were found wrapped in booster cables inside a car that had run off U.S. 119 and overturned in the treetops 250 feet over the side of Pine Mountain. While local law enforcement said no one could have predicted the car would travel as far as it did over the mountain and surmised that the booster cables had become tangled around Blair as the car flipped, a state medical examiner ruled his death a homicide. Kentucky State Police confirmed that assessment. Adding to the mystery, Blair had recently pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in a cocaine trafficking conspiracy.

How did the car jump the guardrail?

there was no guard rail there at the time. There was a gap between that little grave yard and where the guard rail started back in that curve. The gap was plenty wide enough to push a car through it. At one point in going down the mountain there, your car would be pointed directly at that gap, before you went on around the curve. It was the perfect place to push a car over with a dead body in it to make it look like a car wreck. Now, the road through there is slightly different and the guard rail would prevent any car from going over there. But back then it wasn't that way.

Maybe a rollback. They would also carry long jumper cables any idea if the cable were extra long
