All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 7, 2023

Dealing with death was a part of Barbara Butcher's day job. In her new memoir, the former "death investigator" at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of New York City takes readers through the homicides and crime scenes she investigated throughout her tenure, and the life lessons she learned along the way. Butcher joins us to discuss her book, What the Dead Know.
