My family will forever be indebted to this outstanding LEO. Thanks to Nate and his months-long diligence, he located a teenaged eyewitness to a horrific accident that occurred in Thomaston, Alabama. This October 31 1973 accident almost killed my dad and uncle and left them both permanently disabled. Our families got justice. Thank you forever, Deputy Nate. My parents love you, as do I (even though I was too young to understand what happened and what went on for months afterwards).
