How many “No Foul Plays” are there in Humboldt County period. And how can you perform an autopsy when your not even licensed to do so? Humboldt County is nothing but a drowning pot of corruption everywhere you look and everything you see and hear. Humboldt County is nothing but a web built of lies. If the next of kin has any brains they’ll request their own autopsy done by someone who is licensed and MIT from Humboldt County.
