The investigator, 34-year-old Adrian Muñoz, is accused of stealing property from deceased individuals while performing his duties. This alleged betrayal of trust has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting discussions about the impact on grieving families and the need for justice in cases of such profound betrayal. The surveillance cameras captured the moment when Muñoz, a resident of L.A. and an employee of the Medical Examiner’s Office since 2018, took a gold crucifix off the neck of a deceased man and concealed it in his medical bag on January 6th. Shockingly, Muñoz neither returned the item nor documented it in the property receipt, according to the L.A. County District Attorney’s office.
