A pacemaker inside a dead woman logs a normal heartbeat 19 hours after decomposition began - how did that device in Nevada expose what happened?
Dead Woman's Pacemaker Fires 19 Hours Later: The Tammy McCarthy Case
In this episode, we follow the timeline, people and physical clues surrounding Tammy McCarthy’s death in northern Nevada. The episode lays out who was where, when, and which small details - a tarp, an open car window, a spiral notebook entry - became critical to the investigation.
Person: Tammy McCarthy
Date: August 3-5, 2023
Location: Lot Seven, Sagebrush Flats Mobile Home Park, Maura County, Nevada
Device: Pacemaker logged normal sinus rhythm at 11:52 PM on August 4, 2023
Person: Curtis Turner (Dry Basin Pumping) found the body on August 5, 2023
- Curtis Turner completed a routine septic call at Lot Seven, noticed a smell under a blue tarp weighted by a concrete block, and pulled back a corner.
- Tammy’s Chevy Malibu was parked with the driver window open and showed signs she'd left at 4:07 PM after visiting her brother.
- Ray Sutton kept a spiral notebook with forty-seven pencil entries logging Tammy’s visits; the last entry noted “Tammy out, four oh seven. Peaches next week.”
- Grant Price’s fuel card was used at Orvado Truck Stop at 6:41 PM on August 3, placing him on the same corridor two and a half hours after Tammy.
- A cardiothoracic engineer later called the pacemaker reading physiologically impossible, and that single data point took eleven months to explain.
