dr. titus duncan. atlanta medical center. dr. duncan, thanks for being with us. you tell how long the mother had been dead? what i'm getting at is, how much of a head start did the perpetrator get with the little boy? >> several ways you can tell how long the body's been deceased. first thing you look for is the temperature. the temperature and the color of the body. after that the rig more to us that sets in. and the first thing like i said is the temperature of the body. the body decreases in temperature by one degree per hour. and so, you can kind of get an idea as to how long that person has been dead within several hours if you find the person fairly early, until they get to the point where they reach the temperature of the surroundings. >> doctor, would there be insects if the body were indoors? >> absolutely. there would be insects inside. >> what insect? >> you get the larva. basically, the little small insect that comes from the material itself? you mean a maggot. >> right. you have to break it down from our lawyers, doctor. we're just j.d.s not m.d.s li
