Summary

The hardest part to understand is - you know that they’re dead but you still expect them to start moving around. That’s what the CSI techs say is the strangest part of their jobs. Well - that and the photographs that they have to take. The evidence log for the case is extensive. There are pictures of the green door that leads into the unit. Unit #1707. Pictures of the thick trail of blood leading from the living room couch, into the hallway, and straight into the bedroom. Pictures of the bloody claw hammer. Pictures of the brain matter scattered all over the carpet. But the two pictures the investigators really are intrigued by are the two letters left behind by the killer. One left for the police. Taunting the police. “Chase me oh - and sorry for the mess.” And another one that reads - “Don’t lose your head. She may yet live (although I doubt it). Hurry Desirae.” Desirae is the 23 year old daughter of the murder victim. Why would they kill Desirae’s mom? Why are they targeting Desirae now? And will the killer get to Desirae before the police can? Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

They say that eerie feeling never really goes away. It doesn't matter how many times they're called to these places. One person writes, every single time we're called out. We expect every single human we come across in life and every single human that we meet to be alive. And then you see someone and you are told that they're dead.

0:24.1

All your brain does is process, oh, this person is no longer moving.

0:29.2

And it's weird because logically you know they're dead because why else would you be here,

0:33.5

but you also expect them to pop up or start moving after a while or start talking to you,

0:39.2

but they don't because they're dead.

0:42.6

One person gives them advice on how to deal with it.

0:45.5

My first death scene, I went to sleep and I could still see their eyes.

0:49.5

I had to take pictures of their eyes.

0:51.6

I just had to remind myself, it's a job, it needs to be done, you just have to

0:55.7

make sure you leave all of the emotions at work. Do not bring it home with you. That is the job of a

1:01.4

crime scene investigator. They have to be there to meticulously log every single detail and evidence,

1:06.6

just taking pictures from every single angle, every feasible, possible direction.

1:12.6

Sometimes, even though the purpose is taking pictures of the evidence, there is so much thought

1:17.8

that goes behind every single picture entered.

1:21.3

In really gruesome cases, taking pictures of the extent of the gruesomeness, of the brutality

1:26.7

is very important. You need a ton of pictures, though, without of the gruesomeness, of the brutality is very important.

1:28.0

You need a ton of pictures, though, without all the quote-unquote gore.

1:33.5

Because they say if it's too gory, the defense attorney may successfully object to admitting a good

1:39.8

chunk of the evidence pictures for the jury.

1:41.9

So you need some that are probably going to make it to the jury.

1:46.1

And then you need some that show the brutality.
