In 2020, Florida woman Sarah Boone dialed 911 after making a grisly discovery: after a fun night of drinking and hide-and-seek inside her apartment with her boyfriend Sarah passed out and forgot to seek him until the next morning, and well, you can guess the rest. He died inside a suitcase. We have all been there! Jon, active 911 dispatcher will talk about all the luggage fatality calls he has handled through the years.
Drew and Jon give there takes on this bizarre case, starting with the 911 calls, and break down other dispatcher news from across the country.
In South Carolina, a woman jumps into the back of the truck of her boyfriend's murderer, and guides police through a 911 to catch the killer. Was this a good idea? Drew, a 29-year veteran of policing will cast the deciding opinion.
In Tennessee, 911 dispatchers are recognized for their role in the Covenant High School shooting.
From California to Missouri to New York, the untold crisis in public safety: massive deficits in 911 dispatcher staffing leaves those who are still left standing on the thin gold line to carry the extra weight-- but how long before overworked dispatchers break?
All this and what it means for your weekend, tonight.
