Brad Stephens - When first we meet Brad, he's really just a kid, a junior patrolman on the Grant County police force. He's not taken very seriously and often given scut work. Other cops steal his patrolman's hat and place it in prominent places around town, like on the heads of statues. But though Brad begins building his career on conspicuous earnestness and honesty, he soon proves his mettle with bravery, toughness, and unselfish heroics. Nick Shelton - Georgia Bureau of Investigation's (GBI) good old boy field agent for Grant County, he is constantly working with Jeffrey and Sara on cases. Eminently capable, Nick has made a point of asking Sara out several times during her separation from Jeffrey—partly because he's interested, but probably also partly just to get Jeffrey's back up. Since he's only five-foot-six and wears more gold jewelry than Mr.T, he's not quite Sara's type. Sometime before "Indelible", Nick becomes involved with Sara's nurse, Molly Stoddard. Carlos Quiñonez - Sara's uncomplaining and efficient assistant at the morgue. Carlos handles all of the "less glamorous" things that must be done in an autopsy—arranging the tools, taking notes, rinsing and weighing organs, x-rays, cataloguing samples, and most important, cleanup. Carlos is short and round and keeps his mouth shut about confidential matters. Sara hired him right out of high school and even though she's known him for a long time, she knows very little about him. Nelly Morgan - Nelly is the office manager of the Heartsdale Children's Clinic. She's held that position since Sara was a child. Molly Stoddard - Sara's nurse at the children's clinic, she's been there a long time, too. She's a handsome, compact woman, the mother of two children who's always impeccably dressed in her starched white nurse's uniform. She is brave and unselfish, volunteering to enter the hostage situation with Lena in "Indelible", disguised as a paramedic offering medical assistance. Also during "Indelible" it is revealed that she is romantically involved with GBI agent Nick Shelton. Elliot Felteau - The other doctor at the clinic. Sara hired him right out of his residency at Augusta Hospital; he's eager and wants to eventually buy into a partnership. But he's not helping his chances by always stealing other people's sodas, frozen dinners, and ice cream bars out of the office refrigerator.
