The Denise Amber Lee case is often described as a tragic failure of the 911 system — but most coverage stops at the outcome, without explaining how emergency communications actually work or why critical information failed to reach police in time.In this episode of Comm Center, we examine how information moved — and failed to move — inside the North Port Communications Center while officers were actively searching for Denise Amber Lee.This episode focuses on the mechanics of 911 call handling, information prioritization, and communication breakdowns that can occur during fast-moving, high-uncertainty incidents. Many true crime podcasts identify that a failure occurred, but without insider knowledge of emergency dispatch operations, they cannot explain how those failures happen in real time.This is not an episode about blame or hindsight. It is an examination of process, structure, and systemic limitations — and how those factors can affect outcomes during emergency response.Comm Center explores emergency communications from the inside, with an emphasis on understanding rather than speculation.

In this episode, we break down the newly released bodycam footage of the Massachusetts State Police executing a search warrant at Karen Read’s home.

We are joined by Boston legal analyst and creator of Youtube's "Note My Objection," Katherine Loftus . We are moving beyond the criminal verdict to discuss the civil trial, and a phenomenon we’ve termed the "Karen Read Effect"-- where her cult-like followers refuse to acknowledge that there was no conspiracy to frame her for the murder of John O'Keefe.Despite a Federal Grand Jury investigation that resulted in zero indictments, a specific narrative persists in the public eye. Why are professionals with long-standing reputations for integrity be viewed differently in this single case, when they've been praised for their work in others?

Not guilty. We all remember the Karen Read verdict. The criminal trial may be over, but the damages continue. The FKR movement looks like it’s cracking from the inside and even post-conviction, Karen Read is still being sued for wrongful death. We will break down these flashpoints:• Kelly Dever vs. Alan Jackson: a defense witness engaged in the same behavior attributed to Dever—yet Alan Jackson chased Dever out of the profession with a shady forced alternative tactic. • The Dever meeting controversy: why the timing, conduct, and competing accounts matter—and what it signals about narrative control. There are also allegations that Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox is being untruthful—what’s claimed, what’s documented, and what’s spin.

• All those blamed for conspiring against Karen Read-- Michael Proctor, Brian Higgins, Jen McCabe, various Albertsons-- all remain unindicted. If Alan Jackson made such a convincing case of their criminal acts to frame Karen Read, where are the indictments?

Before a home-and-garden reality TV show could be filmed, a late-night 911 call from a half-renovated house set off a chain of events no one expected. What began as a routine welfare check led to an interrogation, a confession, and finally a trial that shocked everyone involved.In this episode of The Comm Center, former dispatchers break down the entire case — from the chilling 911 call, to the suspect interview, to what happened in court. You’ll hear how first responders, investigators, and prosecutors each played a part in uncovering the truth behind the Zombie House Reno.

Ellen Greenberg’s case has haunted the true crime community for over a decade — but it all starts with a single 911 call. In this breakdown, two seasoned 911 professionals — one a retired police officer — dive deep into the infamous call, the controversial scene, and the Hulu documentary that reignited the debate: was it suicide or murder?With over 20 stab wounds, a locked apartment door, and a narrative that has flipped multiple times, this case is one of the most polarizing in modern true crime history. In this episode, we dissect:The 911 call that sparked national controversyBreakdown of hesitation wounds vs. homicidal patternsInside perspective from dispatchers and law enforcementAnalysis of Sam Goldberg’s behavior and call demeanorLegal and forensic missteps that shaped the caseWhy the media (and maybe even YOU) might be misled

Donna Adelson's sentencing just happened — and it might have topped Sarah Boone’s infamous courtroom meltdown for the most denial-filled allocution we’ve ever seen.In this livestream, we break down exactly what Donna said, how it compares to Boone’s legendary speech, and why both women’s courtroom performances have become case studies in denial, delusion, and emotional disconnect.From awkward statements to courtroom theatrics, we ask the question: Who Denied It Better?

Authentic cop Drew Breasy and actual 911 dispatcher Jon comment on the strangeness of debating how many years Adelson will serve after her life sentence is up, the audacity of her so-called character witnesses, the victim diminishing and bashing, and Donna, who wanted to try the whole case all over again.
