In today’s episode, we sit down with Barbara Butcher, a retired death investigator from the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner who investigated over 5,500 deaths, including homicides, suicides, accidents and disasters, across two decades.

We talk about what Barbara looks for in the first moments at a death scene, why nobody can tell the exact time of death, and what happens to the body after we die. She shares how she reads gunshot wounds, blood spatter, and ligature marks, and how killers stage murders to look like suicides.

We also talk about the real reasons people kill, why so many murders in America go unsolved, and the booby-trapped suicide scene that almost cost her life. She reveals the emotional weight of working through the aftermath of 9/11, the personal toll of shutting down her feelings, and what the dead teach us about living with gratitude.
