From the Office of the Medical Examiner
Medical examiners sometimes get a bum rap. Their life is not always about plucking the innards from every Tom, Dick, and Harry they meet. M.E.s and coroners play a huge role in solving homicides, and many times they alone do the crime-solving. They’re also responsible for protecting the most valuable piece of evidence in a murder case – the body. Here are a few items used in that process:
Tamper-proof body bag seal (What goes in a body bag, stays in a body bag).
Toe tag (Don’t want to mix up the bodies. Sometimes it’s quite crowded in those cold rooms).
Big Girtha (extra large) body bag w/10 handles and 2 zippers (For those victims who never made that call to Jenny Craig).
Tyvek boot covers – w/PVC bottoms for traction
Evidence drying cabinet
And for that someone special who has everything…
Dead Men Talk (on front) CSIs Listen (on back) T-shirt
Sally Slugger skeleton
Homer Runner skeleton
Crime scene bumper sticker
Glassware
Hats
And for undercover work…
Crime scene boxer shorts
Lee —
where did you get that cool version of Operation?
Lee,
Excellent, it will be nice to compare differences at a later stage. Sally Slugger……..I think I’m in love. Can I borrow her and she can sit in the corner of my Office.

Real cute! Has everyone read the toe tag story that Detective Hussey wrote. I put it on my blog last Friday, Feb. 20th. Homicide – Hussey – The Policy Makers. I don’t know if links work here. http://terryodell.blogspot.com/2009/02/homicide-hussey-policy-makers.html
