It was a brand new track home with white picket fence, ocean blue carpeting, two stories with a beautiful garden in the backyard that kind of butted up to a steep hill with walking trails. I was an only child, so I definitely was left to my own devices a lot of times. I spent a lot of time with my maternal grandmother, who's an artist, but otherwise a lot of time just kind of playing by myself.

My dad was a senior deputy coroner investigator for the Orange County Sheriff's Department. So as a kid, my understanding of that was he goes out and finds dead bodies. And his specialty was solving unidentified or John or Jane Doe cases. And he was always really good with computers, building them from scratch in his free time.

And so he was essentially the IT department before they had an IT department. And he went on to create the John and Jane Doe online database. Because there wasn't a way for other counties or states to quickly cross-reference, you know, if somebody went missing in one state and they found, you know, an unidentified body in another state.

So this way they could kind of communicate with each other or even within the same state. And they even did a KCAL 9 special on him. And I think it was like 1999 or 2000 called Detective of Death, which I thought was really funny when I was a kid. He had a really great sense of humor. He also taught classes at the Corners Academy there on identification.

And he would be talking about tissue samples and walking around with a specimen jar in his hand and while doing the lecture, reach into the jar and take a bite. It was full of beef jerky, of course, not actual human flesh. That was kind of his personality. But I know it was really draining on him.

The investigators are usually the ones who have to go in and tell families that their loved ones are deceased. And doing that day in and day out definitely takes a toll. I know he would take like two showers a day just to wash off kind of the smell of death. I didn't realize at the time that because of that anxiety and stress, he was a really high-functioning alcoholic.

But that definitely came into play later on in our life. And then my mom was a night shift ER nurse. So kind of between the two of them at the dinner table, lots of times it would be like, how was your day, honey? And talking about brains being splattered on the ceiling or some kind of weird metal object stuck in somebody's orifices. And that was just kind of normal for me.
