In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, sits down with legendary death investigator Barbara Butcher.
Barbara’s career spans decades and includes experiences ranging from the gritty New York morgue to the surreal aftermath of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and 9/11. Barbara also describes the psychological toll of her work, especially after 9/11, and the emotional strain of switching between the harsh realities of her job and everyday life.
