Planning crime scene cleanup in Cowan
Before Winchester existed, the home of William Russell in what is now Cowan served as the Franklin County Courthouse; today, crimes in town are handled by local law enforcement and, if a death is involved, the county medical examiner. The scene belongs to them until it is formally released. That waiting period protects the investigation, and we will not start work, or touch anything that might be evidence, before it ends.
Once released, we take out blood-soaked items, clean fingerprint powder, sweep up glass from forced entry, and wash and disinfect the affected rooms. Victims of certain violent crimes committed in their own home, or relatives whose home it was, can ask the state's crime victims' fund about cleanup reimbursement; the cap is $3,000, and the fund only steps in after insurance and other payers.
