 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. Guy passed away. I believe it was around Christmas time. At least that was the last time he was heard from. But it wasn't uncommon for him to just ignore people so they didn't think anything of it and then after the new year they decided to send the police out and then the police unfortunately found him. So this is a double-wide manufactured home in Apollo Beach, Florida. Guy passed away. I believe it was around Christmas time. They think at least that was the last time he was heard from. But he was found New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. They did a welfare check and the bio has sat since then. So now it's February 10th. Small area, so it shouldn't be bad. But we may have to go through the subfloor because it's a manufactured home. So that part will be interesting and fun to say the least. But it's... Get this. His great- great- your great-grandmother was at the back bedroom? Yeah. And she died two years ago. They must have popped him out when they were like sixteen. Wow. You know how old she was? How old was she? Um, she had to have been in her eighties. And my dad is ninety-four. Fiona, you're one of... I'm thirty-one. You're one of what? Twenty-three, so. He's twenty-three. Well, then eighty-something, you're a great-grandmother. Technically she's my step-great-grandmother. But my grandfather's mom died at ninety-nine. She was almost a hundred and she lived by herself until she was ninety-five. That's incredible, that is. Great that it was across the street from my grandparents. But still, she lived by herself. Basically, sometime before Christmas, they lost contact with him. But it wasn't uncommon for him to just ignore people. So they didn't think anything of it. And then after the new year, they decided to send the police out and then the police unfortunately found him. Judging by the newspapers we found in the house and the ones on the front steps were assuming about a week or so before Christmas is when he passed. This is technically my step-out-goes, my grandmother's step-brother. Alright, and so what led you to call Spalding Deacon? I've seen you guys on YouTube and TikTok and whatnot. So when I got here and realized how bad it was, I didn't see any other logical option. How long have you been a fan of the show? A couple years. Well, yeah, he built all those cabinets which are unfortunately destroyed now. But especially his back bedroom, he completely rebuilt this whole back bedroom. And he had this custom bathroom, which I don't know if the light will kind of work. This whole back bedroom, this custom bathroom. Yeah, there's a whole big closet over here. Pretty much a long walk-in closet. And you said your grandfather built all this? Great grandfather. Great grandfather? Okay. All these custom, just big closets and stuff that he built into just two trailers. And they got here, just two single-wide trailers stuck together. And he built that whole an eye on the backside and that car port and the shed. He used to have a golf cart with a toolbox on the back and go around the neighborhood and fix stuff for all the residents in the neighborhood, which was kind of cool. Dang. Well, this is really impressive. You seem really proud about everything in this home. No, it is. I mean, he did a lot of custom work. But when they bought the place, it was trash. It was just two frames stuck together and that was it. So to turn it into what it is now and see it the way it is, is sad. I'm curious to know how long my pants are gonna last. Sophie, oh. What? Huh? My pants? Huh? Huh? What? Well, you know, it makes you feel more comfortable. If it gets hot, they're coming off. Now, we're just gonna check where all the blood is for sure so we're not cross-contaminating anything and just start working our way in. It's like to sit for four days, right? But to bleed out to that, it's like, there must have been no AC. I think it's just that edge. It's just that part, to be honest. Just that? Yeah. Yeah. That's it. It's like this thing, yeah. He would have bled out from his mouth and wrecked him. Yep. Makes sense. Yeah, so there'll be his head back. That splatter is rectal bleeding from, like, liver disease. Legs, arms, but it looks like there's oral bleeding as well. So it's very common with people that drink or have liver disease to roast off the liver. When they pass, like, 95% of the time, they bleed out. So what's your background on hospice? 12 years with hospice, under life care, and three years in a cancer center. So did that help you kind of determine this, kind of what happened here? Yeah. With hospice, literally every patient that I had that had a liver issue, when they did pass, they bled out. So it's very common. What's that going to come back with a hammer? It's quick, too. Like, you big man or little man? I'm a little bigger. You want to cut it all the way across or you want to go all the way down? I was doing it as one piece. Okay, let's do that one. What are you guys looking for right now as you're cutting the carpet up? The bio, like, where it's... So why are you bagging this bio or the carpet instead of just tossing it in the bin? Because all bio should be bagged. That's the regulation. So, Fiona, how's the job going so far? How's it yet? You can see just how much, like, how easy it travels. You know, a lot of people see it at face value on the surface and not... Everyone comprehends just how far it can travel underneath. As you can see, the little outline that we have is all this. This is bio or water tap right here? No, this is water. Now, right here, you can see, like, from the water leak. Right. Right, there's definitely mold. Right. Gross. Yeah, because the moisture was stuck in the carpet pattern. Okay. The bio stops. You know, it looks more wet than dry. Right. That's where the bio stops. So you're going to have to cut the floor out? Yeah. So where, just where the bio is? So we'll cut, like, from the wall. Pretty much the outline that you see. Okay. Yeah, whatever it is. The way, the way I look at it, it's like, you know, if you have a paper towel and you put, like, a sharpie or a wet spot and it just kind of... Yeah. Like, that's how it is when it hits. Yeah. Probably tile or anything. It hits. What you see at face value is not what's underneath. Right. You know, and that just... Yeah, that's... That's a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I'm glad I just did the deal with it. Yeah. We've got it empty out this side of the roof. Because we have to replace the subfloor. So it's pretty much the whole side of the house. From the looks of it is, it needs to be done anyway. Because of the water damage? Got a roof leak six months ago. That got replaced, but they didn't do anything, but you can see it. Like, look at this stuff. Oh, the water damage. Yeah. That clock. Yeah, that's the only thing that we've got. Kind of be careful. Okay. And can you explain kind of like the sentimental value of that clock? So my grandmother's dad, my great-grandfather built that clock. He built that when he lived in Westport 30 something years ago. Oh, wow. 30 or 40 years ago. He made it when she was a little girl, I guess, so she wants it. That's cool. Yeah. That's cool. Let me get a grip. Shit. Isn't that what he said? Yeah. So is it a little weird not seeing lives in maggots? It's different. They're like, the blood's dry all the way through. Usually, if there's carpet, it's usually like concrete underneath or tile, there's concrete underneath. So there's nothing really for the blood to get absorbed. So there's usually, you know, like thick blood. So this is like completely dry. So it almost makes it easier because there's not that much to like mess with necessarily. You just kind of want to explain what you're about to do. Huh? What are you guys about to do? We're quitting. At this point, it's finders keepers. No. So we're going to go buy the floor panels that we need to replace. So I'm going to go do a Home Depot run real quick. And Thad will be running to the warehouse to grab something that he's about to grab. So we'll be able to meet back at the same time and knock the job out. Oh, there's a plug in one. I've got five eighths here. I only have one sheet though and the others are three quarters. So look at the thickness difference. Okay. Look, this is three quarters. That's five eighths. I said I want to shave my head, but I have such a nice half. I was going to say you can't be busy. I've got that good, good. Thad, what are you working on? Stuff that the family doesn't want to keep. Something's been living under here. That's like cat shit. Like cat food. Like it's not broken. So what are you looking for back here? Basically just some of my great-grandfathers tools. Like I'll take that bench face and there's a grinder there. That sort of stuff. But I did actually find this wicked cool vintage sort of stool looking thing. Sentimental-wise. I don't really look for anything of value. I'm just some sentimental stuff for me to have and my dad to have. Because it was my dad's grandfather. This, which is a wrench, which is stamped Ford. So you can't remove the beams. No, because it's a support beam. So far, hard to come along. Man, I'm sweating like Laura in a church. You're going to yell at me like it fits like a glove. I can drill anything in my house any day. Housewarming? All I asked for was home depot gift cards. Because I'm like, I've had my own place since I was 18. Right? So it was like, what more could I need? Like I have everything I need. I just need home depot gift cards. Were you handy before you got the home depot gift card? Or did you like get handy as you accumulated the- I've been handy like my whole life. My dad, mom and dad did construction. So I've always grown up like being hands-on. And dad was always like, being a girl like you need to know how to do your stuff. I agree. You know, so I've always been into it. I do stuff all the time. Like I love this stuff. That's down all the way. They can be down more on that. I know that Instagram story with like the hearts where like slowly zooms in. You should do that right here. Oh lord. Oh lord. I'll tell Kennedy. Today actually went really well. We got the bio completely done today. So that's definitely a plus. Tomorrow we'll just be content removal out of the house. So we'll see how it goes. When I first moved to America, right? And I went to the grocery store. I thought it was like so American that you guys had paper bags. Like I would always say it in the movies. You're like, you need to be holding like this and you like bring them inside your house. So I went grocery shopping with my mom and I asked him to put paper bags. And it was horrible because the cold stuff like it made the bottom pot like wet. So like I was holding it like this and it just like fell through. And I was like, this is not like the movies. Hey guys. So if you want to ask me to organize some stuff I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. Pretty much everything we're going to get rid of because I can't take it back home with me. And my grandparents have already pretty much purged their own stuff. So there's not much they can keep just sentimental stuff. Me, my grandfather was a mechanic for many years. One of the things I found was an old wrench from Ford Motor Company. That from the 20s that I'm going to keep for myself and his toolbox and whatnot. And then just a grandfather clock he had built many, many, many years ago. My grandmother wanted me to bring it back down to Fort Myers for them. And that's about it that I'm keeping. Like that's a mirror and it has the brush and a comb as well. And I thought that was kind of neat. That's cool. What did you find it? My Greek Greek monseruma. True lies. That's your country, right? It sure is. Proud. It's the one, one good thing I've done. Founded this house and I'm going through an underway drill because it's my job. But I did find it so it makes it worth it. Nice. Sophie, how's the job going as of yet? It's going. Truthfully, I feel like we've made like amazing progress so far today. It's just little stuff like this that becomes more time consuming than others. Remember he said he had a big gun? Yeah. I don't know how he thought this was real. Our gifts who have a credit for making this though. It's nice. This is like the main, this is the only one that's left that has a lot of things. Let's see if we find more. What's the sound like to you Fiona? What does it sound like to me? What's Christmas sound like to you? Like that crackling sound like, you know like after Christmas is passing you like a live Christmas tree. It does like this crackling sound like that and like the old Christmas music. Would you eat these tic-tac? Nope. No. Me either. The bathroom is pretty empty. Yeah. But it hasn't been, this lady passed away back here two years ago. Oh, I see. So it's cleaned out. This place has been in the family. I want to say what his great-grandma was back here. So great-grandma, three, four generations. Wow. It says they're getting rid of it. Yup. I guess it ends here. What's on that? What's the design? Like a unicorn. Oh. There's not those powder things. How do you face? It's like translucent. It actually smells clean. Like it's like your typical powder. That's cool. I could see one of those forever. Why do you think someone has to specify more than once? It's for douching only. Like three times. What's it called? Comforting what? Combination syringe. Comfy combination syringe. I don't know if I touched that for you. How much to use it? Never. How much would you have to get paid to use this? Oh, God. S is. Nope. Negative. Not even this far. Pretty clean in here. Not much for you. Crimes and punishments. It's the whole collection. It looks like he's being stabbed in the shadow. Absolutely perfect. And then everything's out off the closet. That's in here. All that rubbish and stuff. Beautiful. You even cleaned it? Yeah. Wow. You guys are awesome. Absolutely wonderful. You guys did great. I don't really smell anything. No, it smells actually really good in here. I like it. It's come a long way in two days. It does. You guys keep the ass. It's absolutely phenomenal. So Alec, how are you with your services? Absolutely fantastic. I couldn't have asked for better. You guys went beyond what I expected. This is great to hear. So you weren't expecting this level of work then from the text. Like you've seen the YouTube channel. I have, but like, I didn't need to be as well as it is. You guys went above and beyond the most professional people I've ever worked with and just awesome job. So is it like it is on the series? Yes. Here on site, you guys are more friendly than you appear on TV. I don't know, it's because I get to talk to you guys, but you're very friendly and personable and professional and I couldn't have asked for better. Thank you so much. Thanks for watching, guys.
