crime scene photos. they have been asked to retrieve body parts on occasion. it's the type of experience that you never forget. the images never leave you. >> two spots have recently opened up on the dead run team and schiele has once again applied for one of the volunteer positions. >> i think i do a very good job at it and i'm very respect. of that. they need somebody to come in and do that. there is not always that want to do that. >> thanks guys for coming up. and we're going to talk to you about the dead run position a little more in-depth. what we really want you to do when you are out there is you are under the control of the custody and the officer the who's in charge. all right? you're at all times discrete and respectful. you are going to be around families that are grieving and a lot of situations you will be involved with homicides, suicides, young people, old people. you know, men, women and children -- unfortunately. treat these bodies as if they were a relative of yours and how
