9-1-1 in the News, Calls | Greg | May 19, 2010 at 11:09 am
A Utah woman who called 911 and pretended she was talking to her sister to get away from an accused rapist faced the suspect in court Tuesday during a preliminary hearing. Following the hearing, the judge ruled the suspect, Jake Machan, will stand trial.
911 call
The call begins with the dispatcher asking the woman why she is calling.
Caller: “OK, never mind.”
Dispatcher: “Ma’am?”
Caller: “Yes?”
Dispatcher: “What’s the emergency?”
Caller: “I, I can’t really — I don’t know.”
The dispatcher then figures out the woman is in trouble.
Dispatcher: “Are you in a vehicle?”
Caller: “Yes.”
Dispatcher: “Are you able to talk?”
Caller: “No.”
Dispatcher: “OK. Are you in danger?”
Caller: “Yes.”
Dispatcher: “Did someone kidnap you?”
Caller: “I don’t know.”
The questions continue for nearly 20 minutes as the dispatcher figures out the woman is in a truck traveling on a road on the west side of Utah Lake. At the same time, the victim is telling the suspect multiple times that she is talking to her sister who is worried about her and wondering where she is.
