The Really the way I became involved in this was started out in the after early

afternoon around probably 1.30 in the afternoon. I received a telephone call from the

mortuary officer out at the Walker Air Force Base.

He was requiring, inquiring about what would be the smallest possible

casket that we could get that would be dramatically sealed.

That was the first contact that I had with the base.

Then he'd call back, oh probably 45 minutes or so later.

And he said, I need to ask you some more questions.

He said, in case something like this should happen,

he said, we need to know what

preparation what have what your preparations are for the bodies that had been

laying out in the elements you know You said we need to know also if your

treatments of the bodies are the remains, what could you do to them and if your

treatments would it change any of the chemical

breakdown of the tissues the blood would it make a difference and I said I

thought probably it would. So that's when I explained to him that we would have the

vats that we would fill up with a formaldehyde solution with water and we put the bodies in them, let them stay there for

24 hours and then take them out and then we would pack the bodies in the would be a saw

dust and really a lime but we would pack them in then wrapped them in the

plaestats bodies that were badly decomposed. If there was tissue, deep tissue,

we would have to do it hyperdermically with needles to get to the deep tissue.

Then we would have to aspirate the cavities if the cavities hadn't already ruptured
