What happens after police leave a crime scene? For six years, Donna Nayler was the person called in to deal with what remained.

Wearing full protective gear, she cleaned some of the country’s most confronting scenes, from murders and domestic violence cases to homes where bodies had gone undiscovered for weeks.

Donna reveals the harsh realities that come with a job few people ever think about and the unseen work done behind closed doors.
