So I went in with another deputy. We started clearing. Sheriff's office. I do smell something. All right, let me see what we got. There is a smell in here. You want to hold right, and I'll clear this on the left. We didn't know who was inside. Barely seeing, I could see her feet at that point, so I kind of knew what was going on. All right, I got her feet right here in front of me.

Continued clearing, made it up to her, saw that there was no signs of life. We kept moving and cleared the rest of the house. Yes, ma'am, we're clearing the house now. Just to make sure there's no one in the house. Correct. Pushing in. Sheriff's office. Take one, I'll take the other.

I've been doing this 15 years and it was pretty gruesome.

First thing I noticed was the rose petals everywhere. I thought that was kind of weird. They were just kind of all over the floor and no particular, not a pattern. It was just kind of everywhere. This is weird, dude. There was also a chemical odor and just a lot of blood. A lot of blood.

I couldn't tell at that point. Our protocol is not to really touch anything. If there's no signs of human life, I don't have to render aid. We try not to contaminate the scene.

You could tell there was a struggle inside the house at some point. Looked like she was pulled by her ankles or moved somehow. Let's get out of here with that smell.

Came back outside, kind of locked the house down so nobody in or out. Just lock it down. Definitely not a death odor.
