Then the question would be why didn't he prepare a place to keep her? Ariel Castro boarded all the windows shut, and chained them to beds. This guy just stuffed her under a bed and put boxes around it. He planned every part of the crime in detail, except how to keep her from escaping.

Officer safety is paramount, is what I always hear.

It's on the tape. The dispatcher diverted the EMS to a staging area, to wait. Then the police then took her out of the area.

I can't find the story now. It was in the story that said the Sheriff's deputy asked her while she was being driven to the police station, if a car they saw was his. Another deputy then pulled that car over and arrested him.

The reports I read said she was taken to the police station in a police car. An ambulance could have removed her right away. Hospitals are generally considered a safe secure location where crime victims can receive treatment, counseling, and be interviewed by police all at the same time.

Yes, I have listened to all 29 minutes and 42 seconds of the call at least once. I have listened to the important parts more. I don't think it was treated appropriately. Aside from their slow response, she should have been transported to a hospital immediately, for two reasons. 1. For safety...

The report I read said she was taken immediately to the police department for safety reasons. I believe that was the wrong way to handle it. The social worker requested medical to check on her for shock and hypothermia. I believe the social worker was right. That is what should have been done...

Well anyway they shouldn't be claiming that they were traveling over 100 mph, if they weren't.

Good theory, but I believe the question was, "Does she look like she is going to run?". I think the operator was sceptical. I think the operator thought it was a hoax.

I agree. I don't think he ever thought he would get away with it. He clearly had no plans to keep her long term. In the report it said, that after two weeks, he thought he had gotten away with it. I think he was surprised that he got away with it. Then he had to figure out what to do with her.

That should have happened immediately, not later. The social worker even told the operator that. Hospitals are a good safe location. The victim can receive treatment and be interviewed by police at the same time in the hospital.

I think they should have gotten there as fast as they possible. The first problem was that the operator didn't take the call serious to begin with. She clearly thought it was a hoax. And I agree they were further delayed, because they were making plans. You can hear that on the tape. Which has...

That is their spin on it, and their math doesn't add up. As for the operator, she wasn't doing anything to keep them calm. They were keeping themselves calm. The operator even said that. The operator started the call off as if it was a false report. I doubt that she even dispatched the help...

I don't believe she was ever taken to the hospital. She was taken by police car to the police station, even after medical help was requested for her.
