Night shift, Danny Walsh recording
They brought in three bodies tonight from that Highland case. I've been working morgue for two years, but I've never seen anything like this. The official autopsy reports don't match what I observed during intake.
Unofficial Observations:
Dr. Martinez told me to "focus on my job, not the details." But someone needs to document what really happened to these people.
Evidence Inconsistencies Noted:
Victim #1 - Adult Female: Defensive wounds suggest struggle, but scene photos show peaceful positioning. Time of death estimates don't match decomposition state.
Victim #2 - Adult Male: Chemical burns on hands not from environmental exposure. Appears to be photographic development chemicals based on pattern and severity.
Victim #3 - Child: Details too disturbing to record in personal log. Official report severely understates trauma evidence.
Someone is sanitizing these reports. I'm keeping my own documentation in case it's needed later.
July 17, 2010 - Midnight Shift:
Unknown individual accessed morgue during my dinner break. Security cameras mysteriously malfunctioned during 45-minute window. When I returned, body positioning had changed and some personal effects were missing.
Items Unaccounted For:
Supervisor claims items were "transferred to federal evidence." No paperwork exists.
Date: July 19, 2010
While preparing bodies for transfer, I discovered hidden Polaroid photographs taped inside victim clothing. These photos show the crime scene preparation and ritual setup in detail.
Photo Content:
I removed these photos before official examination and stored them securely. Someone wanted these preserved.
Decision to Come Forward: After observing continued evidence tampering and procedural violations, I contacted FBI task force directly.
Evidence Provided:
Federal Response: Agents confirmed evidence tampering investigation already underway. My documentation provided crucial corroboration.
July 25, 2010: Terminated "for cause" - allegedly "violating confidentiality protocols"
July 26, 2010: Offered federal witness protection due to evidence of retaliation
July 30, 2010: Testified before federal grand jury regarding evidence tampering
I lost my job, but I helped ensure the real evidence wasn't buried with the victims.
"Working night shift in a morgue, you see things that would disturb most people. But you learn to be professional, to focus on the job, to respect the dead. What I saw in July 2010 went beyond professional boundaries into moral obligation."
"These victims deserved to have their stories told accurately. Someone was trying to minimize what happened to them, to sanitize the horror they experienced. That's not respect for the dead - that's protecting the living who failed them."
"I'm not a detective or a forensic expert. I'm just a morgue tech who believes that the dead deserve honesty, even when the living find the truth inconvenient."
