They collect bodies.
They take DNA.
They look for signs of murder.
They are the Dead Collectors of Hurricane Katrina and they are a freelance band of volunteer "death experts" from around the country who helped process bodies. They are morticians, medical examiners and anthropologists.
A good friend of mine returned from Katrina collecting with the horrors of her experience rotting in her mind. Katrina re-defined the meaning of gruesome for her and how callousness and disregard led dying lives into the dead.
Is it possible to sexually harass someone simply by looking at them?
