Confessions of an ambulance chaser--Dear Mr. Fisher--help me understand

By Mike Watkiss

I've spent much of my adult life at crime scenes--belly-up to police tape in big cities and small towns--watching cops do their thing.
Over the last 30 years a lot of those crime scenes have sort of blurred together. A handful, however, stand out.
I'll never forget the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City after Timothy McVeigh parked his truck bomb out front--ripping the building apart and killing 168 men, women and children. When I first saw it with my own eyes it felt like somebody had knocked the wind out of me.
I'll never forget the sights, the sounds and the tastes of New York's Ground Zero--the horrific smoldering wreckage of the World Trade Center in the days immediately following 911 attack.
I'll also never forget a home in south Scottsdale--burned to the ground early one morning as t.v helicopters hovered over head broadcasting the inferno on live television.
In the ashes Scottsdale cops would find the bodies of a mom and her two children. .....more to come.....mw
