    Blind react to Crime Scenes

    I’m finally sharing a look into my past as a crime scene investigator. For the first time, I’m revisiting some of the 124 cases I worked on. Due to my CPTSD, I’ve lost about 98% of my memories from that time, so these videos are a “blind reaction” as I rediscover my own work through old photos and reports.In this first episode, I’m walking through one of my first cases—a deceased elderly man found outside his home. I’ll explain the investigation process, the technical details we look for, and the reality of why we take the photos we do.Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/10qM0yX5GsI?si=X3c5hbzy7jqrSUhn

    The Case That Changed Me Pt 1

    First podcast episode energy: unfiltered, a little messy, and very real.This podcast isn’t a lecture. It’s me talking to you like a friend. The kind of friend who’s been through it, learned a few things, and isn’t pretending to have it all polished.We talk about growth, grief, grit, and the stuff people usually skip. And yes, there are bloopers at the end because perfection is overrated and laughter is part of the healing.
