Ezra Krane

Ezra Krane was a reporter for the Washington Standard, and suspect during his appearance in The Crack in the Code due to his extensive knowledge of the details and circumstances relating to the murdered victim found. Krane was apparently informed by an anonymous source (supposedly the murderer) on countless occasions upon the details of the murder. Krane's mutilated corpse was found hanging from a flagpole supposedly murdered by his anonymous source to conceal the identity as the murderer from the press.
En route to the Jeffersonian, the Metro PD escort received a radio call ordering them to escort the coroner's van carrying Crane's body to the medical examiner's office. However, they had paperwork ordering them to transfer the body to DC Memorial, which also had paperwork saying the autopsy was complete and that infectious tissue was found upon examination. One of DC Memorial's autopsy protocols state that once autopsies are complete, bodies with infectious tissue are cremated as medical waste. And so, Christopher Pelant tricked them into cremating Ezra Crane's remains before they could reach the Jeffersonian, where Wendell only recovered fragments of his metacarpals from the ashes.
