Tom Gosinski has surfaced. The guy who blew the whistle to New Times on Cindy McCain’s prescription drug theft surfaced this week at a Holiday Inn in the Washington, D.C. area, telling his story again.

Here’s our original story, published in 1994. I spoke briefly to Gosinski this summer; he called to say a guy calling himself a private investigator had shown up on his mother’s doorstep, looking for Tom. Tom was horrified and so was his mom — so he said, anyway.

Tom insisted the Cindy story was a thing of the past and that he was done talking. He’d moved on with his life. I emailed him just to be sure he hadn’t changed his mind, for a story I did this summer. He didn’t respond.
