TUCKER, Ga. -- It's the investigation that has everyone talking. We showed you the undercover video that prompted DEA agents to shut down a Tucker pain clinic.
Now meet some of the people behind the scenes as we confront the doctor, a man who performed MRI's, and the security guards who stood in front of the clinic.

Our undercover investigation revealed how our Center for Investigative Action producer was able to get prescriptions for powerful narcotic pain killers, even though he said he was in no pain and even though he didn't see the doctor.
"You're lying," said Dr. Michael Stanley Johnston when we confronted him after DEA agents shut down his pain management clinic.
Our video tells a different story. Dr. Johnston never examined our producer. He did send him to get an MRI at Greater Georgia Imaging in Norcross from a man named, Michael Griesi. He conducted the MRI in a mobile trailer parked in an alley.
We discovered that Griesi lost his MRI accreditation in Florida from the American Registry of Radiological Technologists. It was revoked based on evidence provided to an ethics committee. The accrediting agency declined to give us the details, citing privacy reasons.
However, what is not private is what we learned about Griesi's criminal history. We've discovered he's a known felon and has spent time in jail in Florida, for assaulting a police officer. His arrest record also includes crimes of theft and possession of cocaine.
"Well Sir, I have no comment to you on any of this," Griesi said as we met him outside his Norcross office. He then went inside and pulled the door shut, turning off the lights, locking up and going home.
"That's him!", said Kesranda, a recoverying addict. She says she was sent to see Griesi as well by a doctor who worked at another pain clinic where she went to feed her addiction.
Kesranda lost her husband when he overdosed on pain killers and that's when she sought help. It's a problem that she says the community can no longer ignore.
"It affects your whole family. It affects every aspect of your life. Your job, your living situation, your money situation, your children, your friends, your family. It affects everybody!" Kesrandra said.
The head of Georgia's Drugs and Narcotics Agency says a 'giveaway' to something unusual going on at a pain clinic would be out of state cars packed with people in the parking lot along with security guards camped outside.
As for the security guards who greeted patients at the Georgia Health Associates pain management office, one who called himself Jacob Moore said he was the front office administrator and strongly defended the clinic.
"We understand what's going on with pain clinics, not pain clinics like this," Moore said.
The security guy, who we only know as Jamal, told patients in our undercover video to form a straight line saying "Some of you all do coke. I know you know what a straight line is."
"Prescriptions with no pain, even though the MRI shows pain," he said, as he challenged us about our investigation.
Well we never got that MRI and knowing what we know now, we doubt we ever will.
