The body of inmate Charles Edward Singleton was returned to his family from the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC), missing all organs-- including his precious brain. Sure, you know, it happens. A one-off. But Singleton was not the first-- inmate Brandon Dotson came out of ADOC inconveniently dead, and he was missing his heart (which is sacred). Both Dotson and Singleton were already in advanced state of decomposition when they were released to families-- so what happened? Government denies all knowledge. Did the DOC not know they were dead inside the walls? A new federal lawsuit filed against the ADOC and the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences aims to find out.
The story was scooped from the dedicated research and hard work of Jake "Motherfucker" Welder, who does not appear in this episode. Instead we are joined by Meg-- a 9 year navy paralegal veteran who is spent last summer working in a PA coroners' office handling dead bodies. In absence of facts, speculation runs wild.
