Although there are "body farms" in different states (the first such body farm was started in Tennessee in 1981), Nevada does not have one. Officials in Las Vegas did seek to start a body farm for the city in 2003 (a year after the episode "Burden Of Proof" aired), but it never came to fruition due to lack of funding.
Jason Beghe (Russ Bradley) would later portrait a cop in Chicago PD, where he would star as Chicago PD's Intelligence Unit Sergeant Hank Voight.
