ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2363916

(33) Berkland applied for the position of Deputy Medical Examiner in Jackson County, Missouri.

surftofind.com/medical

(34) In 1994, he successfully got the job.

surftofind.com/medical

(35) On January 8, 1995, Berkland explained to the L.A. Times that body tissue breaks down under water, especially if the body has been dismembered.

articles.latimes.com/1995-01-08/new…

(36) Berkland later worked on a person murdered by the son of Nina Gennepten.

surftofind.com/medical

(37) His autopsy report led to Nina Gennepten's son being sent to prison.

surftofind.com/medical

(38) However, Nina Gennepten suggested at the time that Berkland harvested organs from the victim's body before performing the autopsy.

surftofind.com/medical

(39) At another point, there was a car fire, leading to the death of a person.

(40) Berkland signed off on the case without performing an autopsy, which is a requirement for any deaths by suspicious activity.

surftofind.com/medical

(41) Also in 1995, Sylvester Dudley was arrested for theft and driving without insurance.

surftofind.com/medical

(42) He was arrested and scheduled to be released on bond when he instead tried to scale the prison fence, dying in a ditch near the facility.

surftofind.com/medical

(43) Dudley's case was initially handled by Dr. Brij Mitruka, who concluded that Dudley died of multiple head trauma, specifically caused by law enforcement people.

surftofind.com/medical

(44) Berkland took over the case afterwards and changed the cause of death to massive blood loss from cuts by the razor wire while scaling the fence.

surftofind.com/medical

(45) Dr. Thomas W. Young reworked the case after Berkland on request from the Public Defender and from Dudley's family.

surftofind.com/medical

(46) Dr. Young took time out and realised numerous inconsistencies and issues with Dr. Berkland's conclusions on the case.

(47) He did not visit the death scene. He did not examine any photographs. He did not interview the paramedics who were on the scene. He did not review the ambulance log.

surftofind.com/medical

(48) Dr. Young subsequently overruled Dr. Berkland's conclusion, ultimately concluding that it was due to an overtaxed heart during the escape that led to Dudley's death.

surftofind.com/medical

(49) In another case, Berkland came up with a new theory for the cause of death for one of his subjects while actively participating in a trial - a theory that he had never mentioned or written about before up until that moment.

surftofind.com/medical

(50) In another, Berkland did an autopsy for a private case on a young woman who died during a routine surgery.

surftofind.com/medical

(51) He did not complete the autopsy report for 16 months.

surftofind.com/medical

(52) In November 1995, Dr. Berkland was hired by James Benzoni to complete a second autopsy on Kevin Morales, the son of Byron Morales.

caselaw.findlaw.com/us-8th-circuit…

(53) Berkland had access to Dr. Thomas Bennett's autopsy reports, the microscopic slides and Kevin's corpse.

caselaw.findlaw.com/us-8th-circuit…

(54) He did not have access to the medical reports of the emergency room physicians who diagnosed the haematoma as chronic in nature.

caselaw.findlaw.com/us-8th-circuit…

(55) Ultimately, he agreed with Dr. Bennett's diagnosis.

caselaw.findlaw.com/us-8th-circuit…

(56) At some point, Dr. Berkland also testified about Rewa Walker, who was killed via multiple gun shot wounds to the head.

books.google.co.uk/books?id=0u_LB…

(57) This was due to an appeal at the Missouri Court of Appeals Western District by Wendell Maynard.

(The link will want you to download the file.)

courts.mo.gov/file/Opinion_W…

(58) In January 1996, Berkland was fired from his position as Deputy Medical Examiner as he did not perform his duties in a timely manner by Dr. Young.

surftofind.com/medical

(59) He was told to complete all of his remaining cases and to return any materials that had been removed from the premises.

surftofind.com/medical

(60) He did not.

surftofind.com/medical

(61) As a result, several death certificates had to be completed by Dr. Young with the cause of death listed as 'undetermined'.

surftofind.com/medical

(62) An investigation was then opened by Dr. Young and Dr. Sam Gulino into Berkland's working history in Missouri.

surftofind.com/medical

(63) This was because Dr. Young had filed a complaint with the State of Missouri's Board of Healing Arts.

kansascity.com/news/local/art…

(64) They found eight unsectioned brains in containers of Formalin.

surftofind.com/medical

(65) One of these eight brains was from the young woman whose autopsy report was not filled in for 16 months by Berkland.

surftofind.com/medical

(66) They then discovered that Berkland had falsified eight autopsy reports - specifically, the ones matching the eight unsectioned brains.

surftofind.com/medical

(67) The brains were examined and it became apparent that the autopsy notes did not match what had happened with the brains at all.

surftofind.com/medical

(68) Before one of the brains could be returned to the victim's mother-in-law, Dr. Berkland gained access to the office (when he was not allowed to) and removed it.

surftofind.com/medical

(69) The brain was ultimately retrieved from the back of Berkland's car.

surftofind.com/medical

(70) A complaint was filed with the Administrative Hearing Commission of the State of Missouri.

surftofind.com/medical

(71) Hearings into Berkland were opened, but he sent his attorney instead of attending himself.

surftofind.com/medical

(72) Berkland accused Dr. Young of being jealous of Berkland's intimate relationship with law enforcement.

surftofind.com/medical

(73) He also claimed that he did not dissect the brains because he wanted to use them in a pathology class he was teaching.

kansascity.com/news/local/art…

(74) On February 13, 1996, Berkland attended the State of Missouri v. Michael Albanese to testify about autopsy results reached by Dr. Mitruka.

law.justia.com/cases/missouri…

(75) He testified that the cause of death was a fatal stab wound to Jay Hudson's heart.

law.justia.com/cases/missouri…

(76) He then acted as a character witness for Dr. Mitruka, stating that he had worked with Dr. Mitruka for a period of time and that Dr. Mitruka had performed several autopsies.

law.justia.com/cases/missouri…

(77) In 1997, Berkland started working at the District 1 Medical Examiner's Office in Pensacola, FL.

cbsnews.com/news/dr-michae…

(78) He became a certified forensic pathologist and assistant medical examiner in Okaloosa County.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(79) In 1998, Berkland assisted with a study entitled "Testing Reliability of Animal Models in Research and Training Programs in Forensic Entomology, Part II".

ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/…

(80) In January 1998, Dr. Young provided testimony at Berkland's hearing, providing documentation, photographs and analysis.

surftofind.com/medical

(81) 39% of Berkland's autopsies were incomplete.

surftofind.com/medical

(82) There was a good chance that the autopsies were homicides or pending trial.

surftofind.com/medical

(83) Some autopsy reports were written months after the autopsy itself was completed.

surftofind.com/medical

(84) Death certificates were also left incomplete.

surftofind.com/medical

(85) The deposition was listed as Case NO. CR-95-6105.

surftofind.com/medical

(86) It was also revealed that Berkland never actually had an internship with Dr. Vincent DiMaio at all, as he never entered nor competed for a Forensic Pathology Fellowship.

surftofind.com/medical

(87) Also in 1998, Berkland testified in Timothy Lee Hurst v. State of Florida that Cynthia Harrison's wounds had the potential to be fatal and that she survived for fifteen minutes.

caselaw.findlaw.com/fl-supreme-cou…

(88) He said that Cynthia's wounds were consistent with the use of a box cutter.

caselaw.findlaw.com/fl-supreme-cou…

(89) On February 19, 1998, the Circuit Court of Jackson County found that Berkland posed a serious danger to the health, safety and welfare of his patients, clients and residents of Missouri.

surftofind.com/medical

(90) Berkland then lost the authority to perform autopsies and performing as a medical examiner in Missouri.

surftofind.com/medical

(91) He denied the allegations posed against him through his attorney.

surftofind.com/medical

(92) In March 1998, Dr. Berkland reconstructed the remaining skeleton of Adam 'Wiggly' Finch, a child, to search for signs of trauma.

tapatalk.com/groups/missing…

(93) He said he would speak with Finch's family to discuss the release of the remains.

tapatalk.com/groups/missing…

(94) On May 16, 1998, Berkland performed an autopsy on Jewel Melvin's body, revealing her death to be homicide by asphyxia secondary to strangulation.

sheriff-okaloosa.org/wp-content/pdf…

(95) In March 1999, Berkland did an autopsy on Cordell Richards after his body was discovered in a wooded area at the end of a cul-de-sac.

patrickcrusade.org/bell.html

(96) He found that the body was in an advanced state of decomposition with multiple skull fractures as a result of blunt force trauma.

patrickcrusade.org/bell.html

(97) This was the result of a homicidal attack by Ronald Lee Bell, Jr..

patrickcrusade.org/bell.html

(98) Berkland concluded that burning done to the body of Cordell was done post-mortem.

patrickcrusade.org/bell.html

(99) On March 16, 1999, Berkland lost his licence to practice all types of medicine for six years in Missouri as per the Administrative Hearing Commission.

surftofind.com/medical

(100) Berkland filed an appeal, which was denied.

surftofind.com/medical

(101) Berkland called it politically motivated and said he was not given an opportunity to provide evidence in his defence.

surftofind.com/medical

(102) The Missouri Attorney General's Office concluded afterwards that no criminal cases were jeopardised by Berkland's activities.

kansascity.com/news/local/art…

(103) In 2000, Berkland did an autopsy on Rupert Walsh, discovering that he had suffered over 20 incised wounds, including both slashing and stabbing which Rupert died from.

floridasupremecourt.org/clerk/briefs/2…

(104) On February 29, 2000, the trial for Demetris Omar Thomas began at the Supreme Court of Florida.

caselaw.findlaw.com/fl-supreme-cou…

(105) Dr. Berkland had done an autopsy and sexual assault assessment on Brandy Howard, finding seed and vegetation on Howard's right thigh and pubic hair region.

caselaw.findlaw.com/fl-supreme-cou…

(106) The State of Florida contacted Berkland, who suggested that Brandy had suffered manual strangulation, despite no ligature marks or external injuries to her neck.

caselaw.findlaw.com/fl-supreme-cou…

(107) He also testified that the absence of trauma to Brandy's genitals did not rule out the possibility of forced sexual battery.

caselaw.findlaw.com/fl-supreme-cou…

(108) At some point, Berkland did an autopsy and an investigation into the accidental death of Richard Byers, a volunteer at the YMCA.

safteng.net/index.php/cons…

(109) It was concluded that Richard Byers was killed by an ungrounded source, leading to his electrocution.

safteng.net/index.php/cons…

(110) In 2001, Berkland was listed as an officer for the Florida Division of the International Association For Identification, specifically as a District Director for District 1.

mobile.ncstl.org/files/files1/F…

(113) In January 2001, Berkland suggested caution when the remains of a body discovered were initially believed to be that of Kristy Jean Rogers, as the identification may have been premature.

z13.invisionfree.com/PorchlightUSA/…

(114) This was because the dental comparison did not match.

z13.invisionfree.com/PorchlightUSA/…

(115) On January 21, 2001, Kristy Rogers' funeral was called off due to Berkland's findings, an assessment which Dr. Lisa Flannagan agreed with.

(131) Berkland said he was busy and had not finished the autopsy report.

bushwatch.small-mobile-entities.com/lori.htm

(132) On August 28, 2001, Berkland said that the head injury on the desk caused Klausutis' death.

sptimes.com/News/082801/St…

(133) He said this was because of cardiac arrhythmia - abnormal heart rhythms - which halted her heart and stopped her breathing.

bushwatch.small-mobile-entities.com/lori.htm

(134) On August 31, 2001, the autopsy report was finally released.

surftofind.com/medical

(135) It was 18 pages long.

bushwatch.small-mobile-entities.com/lori.htm

(136) It concluded that her heart condition - floppy mitral valve disease - caused her to collapse and strike her head against the desk.

bushwatch.small-mobile-entities.com/lori.htm

(137) She had bruising on the left side of her brain, and scratching and bruising on the right side of her head.

bushwatch.small-mobile-entities.com/lori.htm

(146) On May 25, 2004, Berkland met with Michelle to discuss the case in order to potentially exhume Cody's body.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com

(147) A local police officer, Deputy Flint, arrived at Michelle's house, staring directly at Berkland and asked if everything was alright.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com

(148) Michelle's friend, Katrina Tohosky, led Deputy Flint out of the room.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com

(149) Berkland called the police station to confirm that Deputy Flint was who he said he was, as the Deputy was not wearing a nametag at the time.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com

(150) On June 7, 2004, Berkland received a letter from the Parks Funeral Home in Summerville, SC about Cody.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com

(151) Berkland and Michelle met at the Pensacola Court House to discuss further.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com

(152) On August 2, 2004, Parks Funeral Home exhumed Cody and he was put into the possession of Michelle.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(153) Berkland advised Michelle that, upon her return to Florida, she should put Cody's body in her home and set him on an air vent to keep him cool.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(154) On August 3, 2004, Michelle and Katrina met with Berkland in the parking lot of his new office, where he was entrusted with Cody's remains.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(155) Berkland struggled to open the casket, so he transported it to Bayview Memorial Funeral Home.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(156) With assistance from John Webb, Berkland opened the casket and found everything intact, although Berkland said that "Cody had been pickled" due to being soaked in formaldehyde for 3 - 4 days. Cody was not embalmed before he was buried in 1998.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(157) On August 11, 2004, Berkland took a buccal swab and a hair sample from both Cody and Michelle.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(158) Connie Helderman paid Berkland $4,000.00 for the autopsy and the mitochondrial DNA test.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(160) Hurricane Ivan hit Florida.

(161) After the events of Hurricane Ivan, Michelle was unable to reach Berkland.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(162) However, Berkland and another doctor - possibly Dr. Janice M. Johnson - arrived at Oak Lawn Funeral Home with Cody.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(163) Michelle managed to contact Berkland again, who suggested he used Quest Laboratory in Pensacola to test the samples he received.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(164) He then changed his story and suggested the laboratory he used was Trinity Solutions in Milton, Florida, saying it was at the old jail. This was incorrect.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(165) Berkland was in touch with Candy Zuleger, the owner of Trinity Solutions, and spoke with Michelle about the results from Cody's samples. It came back as not recognised (NR).

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(166) Michelle met with Berkland again - this time with her friend, Katrina - where Berkland provided Michelle with a lock of hair, an outline and pictures of the opening.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(167) The report on the case had not been completed and Berkland said he would contact either Michelle or Connie once it was done.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(168) The State Attorney, David Rimmer, spoke with Michelle and insinuated that Berkland was dodgy.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(169) In the next meeting, Berkland brought a bone fragment sample and shook the box in front of Michelle, asking where Cody was located.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(170) He said he wanted to send the bone fragment sample to a laboratory out of New York.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(171) He also said the written autopsy report was still incomplete.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(172) On September 1, 2004, the Escambia County Sheriff's Department searched for Cody's remains in Michelle's house.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(173) Afterwards, Michelle contacted Berkland, who explained how the Escambia County Sheriff's Department would handle the case, and then said that Michelle was in danger.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(174) He suggested that the Escambia County Sheriff's Department intended to murder her and frame her male friend in a murder-suicide case.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(175) At this point, Michelle no longer wanted Berkland anywhere near Cody.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/

(176) On December 4, 2004, Willie Junior was found dead under the Strong Street home of a former employee, Benjamin Dudley.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(177) The scene was investigated by Dr. Andi Minyard and her investigators, who ruled it as a suicide by antifreeze.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(178) Movement For Change responded by hiring Berkland to run an independent analysis into Junior's death to confirm whether or not Minyard was telling the truth.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(179) Members of the Movement For Change organisation paid Berkland for his analysis.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(180) The analysis itself was done without any assistance from Willie Junior's family.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(181) State Attorney Bill Eddins kept Willie Junior's case open, which prevented Berkland from accessing police investigation reports and photographs.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(182) However, at no point did Berkland request for reports, photographs or case files from the Pensacola Police Department, the State Attorney or the Medical Examiner.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(183) On December 7, 2004, Berkland checked the crawl space under the Strong Street residence.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(184) He sampled beetles, flies and larvae, then sent them to a forensic entomologist.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(185) Because of this, he learnt that Junior's body had been there for four weeks.

inweekly.net/article.asp?ar…

(186) On February 14, 2005, a medical malpractice closed claim was filed with the insurer, MAG Mutual Insurance Company. It was in relation to a female homicide victim, which the date of occurrence being August 25, 2001.

(187) In June 2005, Michelle managed to contact Berkland over the phone to discuss the autopsy report she was still waiting for.

searchingforjusticeandpeace.com/my-story/
