Dr. Jesus "Sally" Salazar is a medical examiner with the Los Angeles Police Department. He first met LAPD patrolman Harry Bosch in 1974 in the aftermath of the Symbionese shootout in South-Central. Bosch was a patrolman guarding the site. Salazar spent three days searching for the remains of Patricia Hearst and found no sign that she was in the house when it burned. He performed the autopsy on Juan Doe #67 on 24 December 1992, shortly before leaving Los Angeles for a vacation in Australia.
