In December 2020, hunters stumbled upon the bodies of two elite Fort Bragg soldiers—Delta Force Master Sergeant William “Billy” Lavigne II and Chief Warrant Officer Timothy Dumas Sr.—executed in an apparent professional hit and dumped in a remote wooded area. Both men were allegedly involved in trafficking cocaine through Mexican cartels, dealing and using drugs on base, and preparing tell‑all exposés about corruption within Special Forces and JSOC. Despite multiple suspects and layers of military investigation, the murders remain unsolved years later .
Rolling Stone journalist Seth Harp, drawing on declassified documents, trial transcripts, police records, and hundreds of interviews, situates these killings within a shadowy network of narco‑trafficking, violence, and cover‑ups entrenched in America’s highest‑tier special operations units. The article explores unaccounted overdoses and other unexplained deaths at Fort Bragg, alleging that powerful soldiers trafficked drugs and carried out murders with impunity, facilitated by corruption in law enforcement and willful omission by military authorities.
