The Airman in the Water

This is a death call that began as a mystery. An abandoned vehicle and a missing person. Days later a floater in a flight suit found in stages of decomposition. How did the decedent get into the water? This is one of those cases that I felt went on forever and at the same time continued to still have unanswered questions. A case that haunted me for years and one I'll never forget. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/emily-speed5/support [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/emily-speed5/support]

Contain and Conceal

The cases described in this episode all have one thing in common... the bodies were hidden in some way. Contained and concealed and sometimes not very well. Some were in luggage, barrels, rubbermaid containers and storage units; some were rolled up in a rug. Coming from the perspective of the death investigator with preservation of evidence and identification being the most important, I talk about how these cases were handled. Difficult, yes. Fascinating and exciting, also yes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/emily-speed5/support [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/emily-speed5/support]
