DAVID ELLEFSON: Dave and I started to do a lot of crack. Crack was everywhere, especially in that neighborhood where I lived on Cherokee. We were doing a lot of heroin every day. And I simply melted down. I couldn't take it anymore. I was dating the woman who would become my wife, Julie Foley, who worked for Doug Thaler at McGhee Entertainment, which, of course, was kind of weird because I'm dating the office girl and she's dating the client, which is somewhat taboo, but we hit it off. Julie would stop over to the apartment on Cherokee and me and Dave would be smoking crack and doing heroin and I would always have to hide it from her.
Things were getting very weird.

(Pause one beat.)

DAVE MUSTAINE: I didn't like Elleson's girlfriend, luie Fole. She came over to our apartment, saw that we were getting high, and ratted me out to Doug Thaler, told him that I was doing heroin. Of course, Ellefson had been doing it, too. Everybody had been doing it.
