Crime Scene Cleaners
[edit | edit source]Smither started his company after being inspired by a scene from the film Pulp Fiction.[2] At the time, there were very few businesses equipped to clean the aftermath of murders, suicides and decomposing bodies; the responsibility of clean up would fall on the victims family. The business originally appeared on 2003 Insomniac with Dave Attell's Oakland episode.[2]
