Following the discovery of Karen Swenson's deceased body in an area of Collum National Forest, the Assistant Coroner took photographs of the corpse, as Truitt and Detective Miles approached the body. Moments later, he helped turn the victim's body over, complying with a request from Detective Miles that they do so. In response to the detective identifying the as-yet unidentified victim as Karen Swenson, the Assistant Coroner asked Miles if that was a "positive ID", to which Miles implied that it was by revealing that she had gone to school with his son, but the detective then quickly left, ignoring two questions from Truitt.
