She is at one of the temples in the worst hit areas. They are sleeping inside the temple and the grounds surrounding it is covered in bodies since they are using it as a staging area. They are doing their best to ID the bodies they can and taking DNA samples of the ones they can't so they can bury them in mass graves.

Their resident DNA expert is a guy from bangkok who is a botanist. His specialty is doing DNA analysis of plants so he got a promotion. Everyone in the area is calling him, 'Doc'. They are trying to keep their spirits up. Since they are all sleeping in a communal area, they have to put up with each others quirks. When I talked to her last night, they were joking that people's snoring would keep the ghosts away... if only it would keep the smell away. She keeps telling me in a wispered voice (i.e Sixth Sense), "I smell dead people"

She said there is a German team there working with them and she had really good things to say about them.
