News staff writer Maggie Prosser discusses the story of Carrollton’s R.L. Turner High School, which has become a symbol for the drug epidemic in North Texas.

Fentanyl is not just an R.L. Turner problem, or a Carrollton problem, or a North Texas problem: Nationwide, the drug was involved in more than three-quarters of adolescent overdose deaths in 2021, and a quarter of cases involved fake pills. Deaths among kids 14 and younger are increasing faster than in any other age group.

This special audio report is part of "Deadly Fake," a Dallas Morning News project examining the effects of fentanyl in North Texas.
