Unholstered

We all just think that cleanup after a death magically occurs, but what actually happens after a death once all the emergency crews have gone home?

Math Toth, Lead Technician with Bio-One of Fort Wayne, knows that an unattended death can be an overwhelming experience. Especially if you are dealing with the loss of a loved one. In addition to working under strict regulations and using the latest techniques to clean up and dispose of bio-hazardous waste, Matt and other certified technicians, work with the utmost respect and confidentiality because they know no one is prepared to face the cleanup of a death all alone.

This week is National Police Week. This is a time dedicated to paying our respects to the brave men and women of law enforcement who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. However, as we pause to remember all of those who have given a great sacrifice for their communities, we are also not forgetting the families they have left behind.

“The Wids” is a group of women who were all once married to police officers. They are joining Unholstered to talk about their beloved officers and share their stories.

The fentanyl epidemic is raging on across the country and things have gotten so bad the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is starting to warn state, local and federal law enforcement agencies to be prepared for a spike in "mass-overdose events" caused largely by fentanyl. 

Fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine. It is manufactured in China and trafficked into the United States via the southern border. As if the fentanyl epidemic isn't scary enough, there is now a new drug on the market called isotonitazene (ISO) that is said to be 20 to 100 times stronger than fentanyl.

When it comes to solving a crime, that is already be a tedious process, but it is even more challenging for homicide detectives as they face issues like fleeing suspects, evidence tampering, lack of evidence and lack of cooperation. So why do it?
