Two Camden County Prosecutor’s Office detectives recently marked a milestone in their investigative careers by completing the New Jersey State Police’s 127th Crime Scene Investigation Course.

Christopher “Mickey” McHenry was a man who crafted a life as sturdy, rich, and deeply rooted as the South Jersey soil he walked on. Born in Camden on September 10, 1970, Mickey lived with an open door, a warm heart, and a hand always ready to help whoever needed it. He was a gifted hardscaper, craftsman, and woodworker—a true creative force who could literally make something out of nothing. Whether forging custom handmade filet knives for loved ones with skill worthy of Forged in Fire, or shaping beauty out of raw wood, Mickey poured his strength, patience, and remarkable work ethic into everything he touched.
Out in nature was where Mickey’s spirit shone brightest. From canoeing and exploring the wild beauty of the Pine Barrens as a boy alongside his brothers, Greg and Dan, to navigating the Mullica River and open ocean as an adult, the outdoors was his sanctuary. An avid angler, nothing matched his thrill for the strike and the exhilaration of “fish-on tug” especially when hunting striper—his beaming smile with a fresh catch saying more than words ever could. Mickey was a passionate history buff, particularly fascinated by World War II and American history, an animal lover of all kinds, and a man who looked equally handsome whether dressed to the nines in a suit or relaxing in swim shorts.
