medical examiner for the city of st. louis. he had hired her to review that old autopsy. the thing that struck me first, just looking at the scene photographs, was the position of mrs. lovelace s arms. she says the photo show cory s body in full rigor. mortise like the detective, they believe the were out of sync. i estimate the time of death was somewhere 10 to 12 hours, prior to her photograph being taken that morning. somewhere around nine, ten or 11 pm, the night before. in other words, the night of february 13th, not the morning of february 14th, as curtis claimed. something else bothered her. turner as though something under cory s arms was removed. why were her hands not resting on the surface? whatever that object was, that
process that ukrainians are forced to use to remove many of the dead from their streets. tying rope and chord to bodies. with stiffened rid of mortise and dragging them away, all because they are fearful of getting to close in case the russians rake the bodies to vote when they are moved. russian forces are also said to have placed land mines during the retreat, including around civilian homes. abuja is just one area. ukrainian officials say that this is the situation around other towns in the country as well. we have been hearing reports of it for weeks. we have seen some glimpses of the horror and brutality, notably in mariupol. but not with the same horrific clarity, detail, and imagery that we are seeing now. it is believed that that retreating russian troops are regrouping and repositioning. we now without any doubt that they are committing inhumane, barbaric, atrocities. looking at some of the evidence of that right now. there have been so many
position of her arms. she says the photo shows cory s body in full rigor mortise. like the detective, the emmy believe the picture in curtis s story we re out of sync. i estimate that the time of death was somewhere 10 to 12 hours prior to her photograph being taken that morning. so somewhere about nine or ten or 11 pm the night before. in other words, the night of february 13th, not february 14th is curtis claim. something else bothered. her turner thought the scene appeared altered as those something under quarries arms was removed. why were her hands not resting on the surface? and that surface, whatever that object was, that her hands were resting, on why was it not there anymore. turner noted the abrasion on her face in the insider upper lip. to her, that suggested something had been pressed
assign it any real significance. now adam gibson, did. we are mortise? yes. in my opinion. the mechanics of your mortgage go like this. upon death, a humans muscles start to stiffen. but to the detective, it looked as though cory s arms and hands were in an advanced state of it. meaning she likely died many hours before this photo was taken. he tucked his sickly wife into bed only an hour before finding her dead. it did not make sense to the officer. detective gibson went straight to his bosses where he pulled out the lovelace file. my first thought was, we miss something here. robert quickly had been true in charge in 2006 when everybody assume that correa had a natural death. but he says that he never saw the photos of detective it was now holding before him. that is why i saw the photos the posture of the arms. bolster of the arms. it appears to me as the rigor
on her so he wanted to move her arm. i had to pull them up to check for a pulse, check for any rigger mortise and to also move her arms up to where i could place my stickers where i m supposed to place them. he moved her arms before police photos were taken. that means her arms were not in the same position as seen in the photographs, the ones that started this investigation. did you know when you decided to pursue this investigation that the arms had been moved? i did not. is this first time you re hearing that? that arms had been moved prior to the pictures, yes. because basically your investigation took off because you believed the position of the arms were suspicious, right? yes. a if i am surprise. for the first him to defendant took the stand.
