Meet The Guys Who Clean The Crime Scenes

We often hear stories of hoarders who collect cats or junk, or of bloody or violent crimes, but we don't often hear about who cleans it up. Meet Chicago Crime Scene Cleanup. These guys specialize in blood and body fluid removal, and they see some terrible stuff. "You never really get used to it, but we learn to cope with it," said company president Dan Reynolds.

This filmmaker followed the guys through a hoarder's home (no blood), to talk to them about what they do and what they see.
