Autopsies and Other Reports of the Dead
As each body bag was delivered to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office, it was assigned a number and referenced as "Mt. Carmel Doe _," "MC Doe _," or just "Doe _."
- Sometimes the body of the deceased was delivered in two or more body bags and assigned multiple numbers, the body having been dismembered or disarticulated.
- Some body bags contained the remains of more than one person, resulting in letter or number suffixes, such as 31B or 67-3.
Most were eventually identified with personal names through dental records, fingerprints, and DNA. The process of identifying all the remains continued for more than a year, and some were never identified. The high number identified by fingerprint comparison and DNA samples prompts a researcher to wonder why the government had DNA samples for comparison on so many of the Davidians.
At some point, the assigned identities were summarized in a document entitled "Waco ID's," which the Museum has termed the McClennan County Identification List. The Museum's copy was obtained from Judge James Collier, Justice of the Peace of Precinct 2, McLennan County, Texas, and is included at the bottom of this page. (The handwritten notations were present on the face of the document when received.) The Judge's office also provided the Museum with copies of the autopsies, recovery diagrams, and death certificates.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner, Dr. Nizam Peerwani, testified at the trial of the surviving Branch Davidians on the methods of recovery, autopsy, and identification (transcript pgs. 5962-66). In reviewing this material, a researcher may discover a number of anomalies, some of which are discussed in Anomalies in the Forensic Process. The Medical Examiner's recovery diagrams will also be of interest to serious researchers.
Collated Identification Matrix
This table is a collation of lists of Mt. Carmel casualties from the different sources. The primary source is the McLennan County Identification List list. That information is collated with the Autopsy Reports and Inquest Certificates provided by Judge Collier's office. Also included is the information from the Report to the Deputy Attorney General on the Events at Waco, Texas (cached), the FBI list, Clive Doyle's list, David Thibodeau's list (A Place Called Waco), and trial testimony.
By default, this list is sorted by Mt. Carmel Doe number. The reader can sort the list by surname, given name, method of identification, or date of identification by clicking on the header of the column.
Linked to each Mt. Carmel Doe number is a page with the autopsy report and death certificate for the individual. In May 1996, Judge James Collier confirmed by telephone that, since the issue of that matrix, no additional identifications had been established.
