Let's face it, there hasn't been anything new since the "anyone with info on the Wagner family" press release. It's safe to say LE has nothing on the W's or they'd be in custody because it's common knowledge where they are.
As I said in my original post over a year ago this will come down to drugs, probably white, pills or powder.

Draws a line directly from Broward County to Greenup,KY which as we know is basically next door to Pike County. No reason to think that the line stops at Greenup. I'm sure it continues to go north.
I'm familiar with the "Oxy Express" . US 23, the Country Music Hwy in our state, continues strait down to Fla. No offense intended, but this film was made a few years back (2009). I watched it at the time. Things have changed a bit.

But after Florida spent years trying to shake off its reputation by driving out of business the worst of the notorious “pill mills”, the twist came that state officials hadn’t predicted. When the addicts Florida facilitated could not get prescription opioids any more, they turned to heroin.

In 2010, prescription opioids
accounted for 44 percent of all U.S. overdose deaths. It's a huge problem and drug companies are turning to a solution they know very well: chemistry.

Purdue Pharma first introduced OxyContin in the 1990s. The new pill combined the well-known pain reliever oxycodone with Purdue's own long-acting formula, which slowly released oxycodone once a pill made its way into the digestive system. Because swallowed OxyContin didn't provide a big, front-loaded hit of opioid, Purdue advertised it as nearly addiction-proof,
Fortune reported. It turned out to be almost exactly the opposite.
In 2010, Purdue quietly introduced a new formula that made OxyContin pills weirdly difficult to crush or dissolve in water, hoping to undercut the ways people had discovered they could get a super-sized opioid hit from long-acting OxyContin. Three years later, studies are just beginning to show that crush-resistant chemistry does seem to reduce OxyContin abuse. Whether it reduces drug abuse overall is another question.
Preliminary findings suggest those who used to abuse OxyContin are simply replacing it with other prescriptions or with heroin.

Note: A "reasonable" street price for the new Oxy hard to crush tabs is around $20-$25 for an 80 mg tab, compare that to .50 to $1 per mg for the old crushable scrips (based on brand or generic, how hard to come by, etc...). A bag of Heroin goes for $10-$20. They're already hooked on synthetic Heroin, the real stuff requires no doctor visits, no registry, and is cheaper.
I don't see this level of drug dealing in the R family. Then again, I've been known to be wrong.
