Yikes!
No ME is involved with this case due to Rexburg? I hope the Press is on this issue and the FBI is also taking control of the process too. The last time this issue was researched I recall we learned that ID has elected Coroners who don't have to be MDs (some do have medical backgrounds such as nurses etc.). ME's I believe work under the elected Coroner and have medical credentials and certifications so far as I can tell from. If I'm incorrect here please repost the correction. Thanks.
Are we saying that Tammy Daybell was exhumed and her autopsy and associated forensic work was NOT done by a ME (MD with certification)?
