In years past, Camden County has had a contract with Southwest Missouri Forensics of Springfield to handle the county autopsies. Sheriff Tony Helms has brought to the commission’s attention that they could hire Dr. Robert Neilsen as the County Medical Examiner for $43,000 less than what they pay the Springfield company. Second District Commissioner Don Williams says he’s very impressed with Sheriff Helms’ dedication to improve the department.

The commission approved the Sheriff’s recommendation and also hired Larry Bowlen and Michael Schmidt as investigators for Dr. Neilsen.
