Text Excerpt 14, Waco Holocaust Electronic Museum Missing Heads and Other Problems [Note to readers: Many of the official autopsy reports of the Branch Davidians, autopsy photographs, and official diagrams showing the locations of body recoveries are available for viewing at the Waco Holocaust Electronic Museum website. Unfortunately, this documentation cannot be included in a text excerpt.] According to the Autopsy Reports, ten to twelve people whose remains were found in the concrete room died from suffocation or blunt force trauma as a result of "structural collapse." These people were: Judy Schneider (Mt. Carmel Doe 51); Unidentified (Mt. Carmel Doe 51A); Audrey Martinez (Mt. Carmel Doe 55); Crystal Martinez (Mt. Carmel Doe 57); Unidentified teenager (Mt. Carmel Doe 59); "Martin Child" (Mt. Carmel Doe 61); Chanel Andrade (Mt. Carmel Doe 62--suffocation, but structural collapse not mentioned); Jones Twin (Mt. Carmel Doe 63); Cyrus Howell Koresh, (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-2 --"probably" suffocation due to structural collapse); Rachel Howell Koresh (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-3); Rachel Sylvia (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-6); and Mayannah Schneider (Mt. Carmel Doe 70) As we have just seen, there was no structural collapse. Therefore, these 10 to 12 people must have died from different causes and under different circumstances. But the Autopsy Reports reveal that these bodies underwent severe mangling with limbs "sheared" off, trunks severed, skulls shattered, and bodies pulped into unrecognizable shapes. Since the concrete room did not collapse, how and where were the bodies mangled? Was the mangling a cause of death, or were the corpses mangled after death? These questions are now open. The question of false death certificates is also raised. False information on death a certificate is a very serious fraud on the court. We have already seen that during the 1994 San Antonio trial of the Branch Davidians, Dr. Nizam Peerwani said some people inside the concrete room died of suffocation because they were under sleeping bags or blankets when the structure collapsed (Transcript, pg. 6029). Let us for the moment put aside the fact that the concrete room did NOT collapse. Dr. Peerwani's testimony still raises questions because the Autopsy Reports indicate that many who died as a result of "structural collapse" were found without heads! Look at the Autopsy Reports for Judy Schneider (Mt. Carmel Doe 51); "Martin Child" (Mt. Carmel Doe 61); Rachel Howell Koresh (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-3); Rachel Sylvia (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-6); and Mayannah Schneider (Mt. Carmel Doe 70.) Cyrus Howell (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-2), eight years old, was also found without a head. The rest of his remains were shattered and charred. The cause of his death is listed as "probably suffocation due to overlie and burial in structural collapse (cannot rule out trauma to the head)." What happened under the (alleged) sleeping bags and concrete rubble to cause suffocation victims to lose their heads? If the victims were buried under rubble, their heads would have been held securely in place. Moreover, it is hard to image how the heads or bodies could have been charred or burned off in any fire that broke out after the (non-existent) collapse, because fire cannot penetrate concrete. Unidentified Mt. Carmel 51A, a two-year-old, died of both suffocation due to the structural collapse and smoke inhalation. Yet a skull was the only part of that young child ever found. What happened to the body under the (alleged) sleeping bags and rubble? Dr. Peerwani and defense attorney Tinker painted a picture of mothers taking children into the concrete room and covering them with sleeping bags, blankets, etc., to protect them from the CS gas on April 19. However, let's look at the testimony of Texas Ranger Sgt. Coffman who was responsible for collecting evidence in the concrete room. It was he who found the bodies. When defense attorney Tinker asked if many or all of the bodies had blankets and towels over them. Sgt. Coffman's answer was this: Coffman: "No sir. Only a few did." (Transcript, pg. 936) Nor do the Autopsy Reports support the picture painted by Mr. Tinker and Dr. Peerwani. The corpse of Joseph Martinez, eight years old, (Mt. Carmel Doe 52) came to the morgue in a body bag which contained a pillow case lining; the corpse of Rachel Koresh (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-3) came to the morgue in a body bag which contained a fragment of table cloth; the corpse of Hollywood Sylvia (Mt. Carmel Doe 67-4), one year old, came to the morgue in a body bag containing a baby's quilt; and the corpse of Mayannah Schneider (Mt. Carmel Doe 70), two years old, was delivered to the morgue with debris that contained a charred blanket. This and other evidence contained in the Waco Holocaust Electronic Museum demonstrates that the story that "the women and children went to the bunker to escape the CS gas and died when the bunker collapsed" story is a fabrication. The women and children did not die "when the bunker collapsed;" they did not die of suffocation due to concrete falling on sleeping bags; they did not suffer blunt force trauma as a result of the falling concrete from the "collapsed bunker." Their bodies were decapitated and mutilated under other conditions.
