He was sincere enough for Patricia Kendrick to rush to the old Pascagoula Winn Dixie store to see if what the man said was true. "My medical records, my prescription records mainly, was behind the Winn Dixie Store that been shut down for a couple of years," Kendrick said. "He handed me my slip that had blown down the road, along with several prescriptions from local doctors." Kendrick's telephone number, social security number and address were on the papers. Hers was part of a huge pile of patient profiles, empty drug containers and prescription papers. So Kendrick called the authorities. "Thousands and thousand of records," Pascagoula Compliance Officer David Groves said, as he looked through the piles of papers.
