Precinct 444: The National Law Enforcement Museum Podcast

Over a decade of planning and persistence in the making, the National Law Enforcement Museum has opened its doors to the public. Finally, citizens and law enforcement professionals from diverse perspectives and backgrounds will have a place to share in the vibrant story of American law enforcement. Within the walls of the Museum’s strikingly contemporary exterior, artifacts from our collection of more than 25,000 objects tell the story of American law enforcement – past, present, and future – and engage visitors of all ages in memorable, immersive and experiential exhibits. More importantly, we’re proud that the Museum will serve as a platform for constructive dialogue to help strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We invite all listeners to follow us and submit questions for upcoming episodes!

BONUS | Officers As Artists: Natalie Murry and "Skully"

May 16, 2025 • Season 11 • Episode 13

Precinct 444 invites you to meet the artists featured in the National Law Enforcement Museum’s newest exhibit, “Officers as Artists: The Creative Expression of Those Who Serve.” Now open until August 30, 2025.

In today’s episode, you will meet Natalie Murry, who retired in 2002 from Kent (WA) Police Department after 10 years. In 2000, Natalie attended the Forensic Facial Imaging course at the FBI Academy in Quantico to expand her expertise to include other the aspects of forensic art such as age progression, postmortem imaging, and 2 and 3D reconstructions from skeletal remains. For about 20 years, she also worked closely with forensic anthropologist Dr. Kathy Taylor at the King County Medical Examiner's Office in Seattle, doing most of their unidentified remains cases for them.

"There are so many cases of unidentified remains in the US and not a lot of artists to do the drawings to try to ID them, so I'll continue to do the work as long as I'm asked."
