 Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling Decon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding and much more. These are our stories. We're doing a, this is a pretty good size hoard. I'd say this is a level five. You know, some years ago there was a trigger, a fiance that had passed suddenly and unexpectedly and really at that point our clients life had changed and not pretty good. Best Buy 2015 Tub of Vice. Ooh, it's all this maggot, circus. Oh my god. What'd we find? Oh my god, a rabbit. And then we moved the bookcase that the rabbit was on and then there was a rat underneath it. No. Get that thing out of here. Whatever you do, don't speak any Latin. What we're doing here today is, so we're in Port Charlotte. I'm here and Chris is with the other team over in Englewood still working on that wood project. This scenario here is a kind of a clean out slash deep clean, unfortunate elderly veteran having some issues. You know, I think we had a number of issues but that's combined with maybe some of the medication and alcohol and things of this nature that turns out that he was relieving himself in many different ways actually all over the house. Oh boy, look at that. That's a bunny. Oh. I think it's a baby bunny. Holy shit. All right. Hi everyone. Ed, the Spoling Deacon, Southwest Florida. I'm here today in Port Charlotte. This scenario here is a kind of a clean out slash deep clean. Unfortunate elderly veteran having some issues that have escalated over the most recent 6-12 months. That individual is now getting care, I believe he's at a rehab, but the wife is here with us today. We're going to clean out the one side of the house. It's a pretty good size master and this is where he spent most of his time. We're also going to remove furniture and the flooring, at least the carpeting. It will clean the tile and so forth. So this gentleman hopefully is being treated that he's able to return home to a safe and sanitary environment. I think we had a number of issues but that's combined with maybe some of the medication and alcohol and things of this nature that turns out that he was relieving himself in many different ways. Actually all over the house. The worst of it is in the room that we're working on. So we got a lot of soiled materials, clothing, bedding, flooring, walls, things of this nature that we need to address. What we're doing here today is we're in Port Charlotte. I'm here in Chris's with the other team over in Englewood still working on that wood project. And we also have Ricky over in Boca Raton doing a COVID disinfection. So we're spread out all over the state today down here in Southwest and South Florida. Oh boy, look at that. That's a bunny. I think it's a baby bunny. I didn't even see him. I was over there for a second. Holy shit. Isn't that? She's looking for a 15 year old cat that went missing last week. Hopefully we don't run across. Didn't know about the bunny rabbit but she's worried about her cat. Was the bunny a cat or do you think it's wild and got in there? No, I think she was saying that he would leave the lanai door or screen door open and so different times animals would make their way in. But she doesn't know about whether, you know, maybe he held that as a pet or just worked his way into the home. But she didn't know anything about a bunny. I guess we could run across the... I don't know. We're right on the back side right there. Your first car to mine. You definitely got a 45. I'd rather get in with that one. The old school intercom system. That goes with the shell casings. We might run across a gun in here somewhere. So we'll keep this for, I don't know if she wants it or not but obviously some type of, you know, veterinary related things and some stories, news clippings that he was interested in. Some type of little collector's series we'll see. Let's sit this side. Oh wait, 2008. Look at that. Comes with a nice little case. Can't go without a back scratcher. Gotta have a back scratcher. Soundbar. I thought it was a gun. I thought it was a gun. 50s. Look at that. Go Johnny Cash. Walk the line, baby. Baseball cards. Collector's set. The complete set? You should be able to buy one like that back in the day. Oh boy, there it is. Big ol' fan. It's like a 2020 but 50s long case. I'm not a big gun expert but I'm sure if you got hit with it it'll work. It almost looks like a new bin of ivory. Yeah, but look at that. Oh, it's cracked but... Better days. It sure has. It's a little clear. Little fella here to see you. Have it. It ain't quite making. I've been looking for one of these all my life. A Magic Wand. Oh God. I think things are looking up. 2021 is going to be a great year as soon as we bust that Magic Wand out, I'll tell you. I think it might be his yearbook or something from his... Yeah, it is. Look at that. Have a look. It's like a yearbook. Some people's signature and all that from his Navy class. I didn't say it was a seal but obviously in the Navy. Yeah, we'll save that for her. What's up with these bodies getting in here? Look at that little book in. That's cool. Oh, that's cool. Huh? Little old school typewriter. In fact, I remember messing around with one of those. My mom and dad had it. Did you do some writing? I was... I don't even think I knew how to spell or whatever. I was just pushing keys and making little imprints on the paper. I thought that was cool. Ooh. You know, this looks pretty high tech. I thought it was going to be like a vibrator. Oh, that would have been, I guess... Well, that kind of is magic, right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, what do you think this does? So, I don't know, I have to read up on that one. Is it like a stud finder kind of thing? It's a scanner. Oh, yeah. It's a scanner. Magic wand. Yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got that little scan light right there. That piece of glasses? That looks like a snake or something. I think it is. A reptile tail. Yeah. You can look at the inside. Quite the clutch is going there, Evan. Oh, look at that. There you go. Who knows what will be on there? Oh, wait a minute. This is one of those instant TV things as seen on TV. Oh, is it? All of a sudden you get every TV on the road? Yep. Get every radio, every TV station. I mean, a big foot. That is a big foot. Definitely the craziest detachment I've ever seen. You pull the bar, load the shell. So what happens if you go the other way? You have to load every time you shoot it. Yep. Load and unload. You're going to try to get him in an assisted living situation? Well, he's a disabled vet. So he has some avenues through those different programs and things. So I think they're looking at, right now they're kind of defining it as a rehab type facility. Probably some type of assisted living rehabilitation. She wants to try to take care of him and what she thinks is right. And of course, she just wants to, as most people tend to, want to stay in their home and be, nobody wants to go to that stuff where they just can't take care of themselves. That's kind of right there on the border here right now at this point. You're not going to start cleaning the feces and stuff till tomorrow? Yeah, I mean, I just did some loose things, but I think the actual deep cleaning action will be tomorrow. I found this except there's a problem. One magazine? One magazine, no 38. No handgun. And we found the weapon. And it's loaded. It's loaded? Yep. That could have been real bad. Chances on this thing firing off naturally. It's loaded, so be careful. I don't know how to get the cartridge out of that one, so. Oh, it's loaded? Yeah, it's loaded. Okay. Well, her son is a deputy. Okay. So he'll know when I talk with her. She said, no, no. I had made him get rid of all of his guns a year or two ago. Obviously, you know, shotgun, one or two sidearms here. Oh, shotgun, shotgun, yeah. You never know what somebody's really doing until you get in there and check it out. I think they had him at 80-some percent disabled. She had meant it. Just mentally through the... You know, I don't know if it's just through the PTSD piece of it or, you know, some of the other factors, but it sounded like the PTSD was pretty bad. He was a non-vac. No. And the biker? Oh, yeah, biker's lungs, little Harley-Davidson's. The first thing this morning, Ted's telling us, hey, I really don't want to, you know, try not to give me in too much of your cameras. Hey, what can I say? I changed my mind a lot, you know. The camera loves you, Ted. Yeah, people don't, though. They're gonna pay attention because your freedom is not free. Well, now cost you $9.99. Let it work overnight with their over-the-counter stuff. Rather than just throw it out, though. Go ahead, let's finally go to work. You think there's some blood mixed in there? I would agree. Go, W, look. There you go. Pretty sure that's not something that you'd want to throw away. Yeah, hopefully he's got a shoe polish. A shoe polish? Oh, yeah. I guess when you got them nice loafers, you need something to keep them looking nice. Exactly. Same kid I have. So are you guys gonna be deep cleaning the walls and floors and stuff? Not all over the house. You know, it's still something that is to be determined, but the bathroom will be sanitized and disinfected for sure. But the deep cleaning is still to be determined. Is that just a shock wave you're putting on right now? Yes, yes. It is. You know, you can just clean and cut it down. It's gonna make it taste a little easier now when I've got the first layer off. You think you're gonna use like the steamer and stuff on it? No, absolutely. The steamer, strafter, cotton wool, thread. I put that up for her. She's actually been taking the shower and the garage using the hot water heater hoses. Very excited because now she can get out of her bed over there. Luckily, we've got the door and the lighting to hear. So everything is nice and she's stuck it over everything. It's the first time I knock on her door, I probably waited a bit three minutes for her to come. I heard her yelling. She was back here in her bedroom. And I always give our orders time to get to the door because I know it takes a while. So I think she could only open the door about that big. You know, I thought, okay, I'll need for this. I think it's the AC. Yeah, it is. Patrick, I grew up here. Patrick Anderson. Most people watch this, they might know me. What's your background? You've been doing stuff like this before? I mean, I do everything. I love this work. I love helping people out. Sweet? Yeah. Good to have you. Yeah, thank you. Such a nice bed. Look at you boys. You were so happy. Yeah, so comfy. So sleepy. Sleepy, happy boys. Yeah. You could get tail. Get tail wagging. You good boy. First I thought that was a rat. So new appliances coming tomorrow. Yeah. New refrigerator. New stove. Over the range microwave. Nice. A new washer and drain. Yeah. Yeah. So we got the refrigerator, stove, microwave hood, and a washer dryer for under 1700. That's awesome. This is amazing. Yeah. Yeah. I get my hundreds and thousands mixed in. Hey, don't we all. And then when we were done with that, I looked at Connie and I said, are you hungry? I was like, well, where do you want to go? And she'd already picked it out. She already spied an Arby's down the street. Yeah. Nice. What a fun girls day. That's nice. And we did everything to start getting our nails done. Not exactly. Was it left on or is it turned off? It's not that it's running, but I can't even tell but there's temperature or not. Yeah. I can smell that. Yeah. So what she does is she puts the food on the freezer side but the freezer is set for like 64. Yeah. Guys, both had kind of separate missions today. Just kind of tell me a little bit about both your days today. Yeah. Well, yeah, we were on separate missions. Ed dropped me off here this morning and we had a couple of texts that meet me here and we got started on day three of just again, you know, cleaning up, de-wording and organizing. So about I'm about 16 miles away. We have a, we had another job we split up today. And so basically what we did there is we probably got about 50, 60% of that job done with a crew. So now we're back if we don't have enough vehicles. But anyway. It's a good problem to have, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. And so it worked out pretty good. It was really our first major day. We actually had three different jobs going on at the same time. The other thing that was really cool about today here at this location is our client has a, about a 40, 45 inch TV that she's been watching an iPad for three years. Yeah. Well, right now her 45 inch TV is on in her bedroom, which has been kind of cleaned out and set up and everything like that. That's good. You know, and I don't think I've seen, I haven't seen her smile as much as what she did when that TV came out today. So that's pretty cool. The dogs too. They've seen the dogs look so happy once that, that bed got cleaned off and TV in there. They got a nice iPad. See you guys tomorrow for last, last day on both these jobs. Yeah. I don't think it's supposed to be that color. No. What's that? Ready? Am I? Yep. Oh, you got a mummy. Fucking real wolf rat. Oh yeah, mom, look at that. God, looking pretty cute. Yeah, right? It's about my size of a table. Right there with you. You know what I'm saying? Short Kings got to stick together. We got to. Step stool is my best friend. I've loved the step stool since I was born. I came out the womb with the step stool. That's impressive for a baby. You know what I mean? Like, what the heck is that? Don't worry about it, guys. I'm going to need this later on in life. I know this. Very nice. New washer and dryer. Yeah, that's what I wanted. That may be the only hand. They feel now, though. You're kind of in the home stretch. I'm relieved. Oh, yeah. I'm still very stressed out. Give these pups a nice home. Treat them like the kings they are. Kings they are. Yeah. Yeah, like an old snowball here that just laid down. He'd never saw the floor before. Okay, so here we are. This is day four. Wrapping up about 32 hours. We've done a few things outside of the scope of what was proposed. But, you know, there's just something you just can't leave undone. You know? Oh, that's okay. Feeling pretty good about where we're at right now. We've got about one more hour or so left on the clock. So I don't know if you can hear the vacuum running in the background. You know, but we're feverishly trying to kind of make a little more space and take some things out. She's got a storage shed. We're here to, you know, really, really help her. You know, I get to a place where it's comfortable and you have room for a couch. You'll probably guys will notice that Ed's not here with me doing the wrap-up today. He's still at the veterans' residence over there doing the clean-up as we're kind of referring to it. Him and Ricky are over there. You know, that's a sad story. The veteran became an alcoholic. He fell. His wife called 911 and they took him and determined that, you know, he was okay. But they decided to hold him under a Baker's Act and if you know anything about that in the state of Florida, it's an act where they can hold you for 72 hours to determine your mental state. And they determined his mental state to be okay. And his wife said, absolutely not. Anybody that walks around dropping poop on the floor and urinating off the lanai is not right. So she refused to take him home and they actually filed charges of abuse against her which caused her to have to get an attorney and it's become this big process. But he is now in a facility. I think he's waiting to get his veterans' benefits and he's going to get the treatment. He's happy. That he's good. You know, he'll be in a good place. I'm not real sure if it'll ever be back in his home. So that's the unfortunate thing here. You know, if anybody has, you know, anybody that's ever been in the military and is suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, you know, it's a difficult thing to deal with. You know, she's a strong woman, stronger than me, apparently. You know, it's even hard for me to talk about, I'm an army brat. Traveled the world with my father and my father's in the hospital now. He's had a stroke, but he's getting good care. So it's very relatable for me right now. Sorry about the tears. But, you know, that's all going to have a good ending. So, you know, wrapping up here, wrapping up there. Everybody's going to have a good night's sleep like if these tears dried up. That's enough.
