Overview

...As I Walk Through the Valley of Meth... chronicles drug related execution style murders, kidnappings, and other crimes that have steadily increased throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley in the middle of the Appalachian Region in spite of the all the efforts of the criminal justice system. The book is based on investigations conducted by state and local narcotic task forces, the Drug Enforcement Administration, along with other federal agencies, and travels through the beginning of drug enforcement in the 1960s and early 70s, and into 2021, the deadliest year ever recorded in West Virginia and the United States for the number of drug related deaths. For well over a half a century, our country has been engaged in a war against illegal and dangerous drugs. The number of Americans who have died far eclipses those lost in any war our country has engaged in. In 2018 alone, more Americans died from drug overdoses than during the entire Vietnam War. Since 1999, nearly 800,000 people in the United States have died easily surpassing the number of those who were killed during the Civil War (620,000), or World War II (407,000). ...As I Walk Through the Valley of Meth... chronicles the efforts to curtail drugs in one area of Appalachia in West Virginia. West Virginia has the highest rate of deaths in the country with 57.8 deaths per 100,000 population.
