In the often-overlooked world of crime scene cleaning, the work is about far more than cleaning. It requires compassion, professionalism, discretion, and a deep understanding of trauma.

In this episode of Behind the Crime Scene Tape, Kevin from Bio-Clean of New Jersey sits down with industry pioneer Don McNulty to discuss how crime scene cleaning evolved into the profession that it is today. Don shares how he got started, the challenges of building a company in an industry that barely existed, his work with the American Bio-Recovery Association, and the lessons he’s learned after decades of helping families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

This conversation goes beyond the technical side of the job. We talk about the emotional toll of the work, how the industry has changed over the years, the importance of treating every family with dignity and respect, and why, in Don’s words, “No one should be victimized twice.”

Whether you’re a client in need, part of the restoration industry, interested in true stories from behind the scenes, or simply curious about the people who perform this essential work, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Topics discussed:  

How Don McNulty, a legend in the bio-hazard cleaning business got started in crime scene cleaning.   Building one of the industry’s earliest bio recovery companies.

In this episode, we sit down with Doug Griffith, owner of Bio-Clean of Colorado, to talk about what it really takes to work in biohazard and crime scene cleanup.

Doug got his start in New Jersey training under Andrew Yurchuck of Bio-Clean of New Jersey before taking a leap back to Colorado to build something of his own. With a background in nuclear safety, his approach to contamination, risk, and precision is on a completely different level.

We dive into:

• Stories that stay with you forever

• And what it takes to rebuild when life hits hard

If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes—or what kind of mindset it takes to handle it—this episode pulls the curtain back.

Biohazard cleanup isn’t just about what you can see — it’s about what you can’t. In this episode, we break down how we approach every scene like investigators, tracing the path of contamination and asking the critical question: Did we miss anything?

After a traumatic event, many people try to clean the area themselves. The visible mess may be gone, but that doesn’t always mean the space is safe.

In this episode, Andrew and Kevin from Bio-Clean of New Jersey explain the difference between visual cleanliness and true biohazard safety, how blood and bodily fluids spread beyond what you can see, and why DIY cleanup can leave hidden contamination behind.

A clear look at how professional biohazard and crime scene cleanup works and why safety is about exposure control, not appearance.

Sirens stop. The scene clears. The tape comes down.

Then what?

In this episode, we talk about what really happens after emergency services leave — and who should actually be called first when biohazards, trauma, or unattended deaths are involved.

We break down the timeline, the risks, and the mistakes families make in high-stress moments.

This is the part no one talks about.
