In the clip, LE states they rec'd 5 or 6 911 calls about the incident, ONE was from Dinya Farmer...hopefully, someone else was calling in the plate # --- also @ 11 seconds into the video a white truck with a ladder on it goes by there's at least 2 people in the truck --- they wouldn't have circled back to make sure she was dead would they?
The transcript brings up more questions/observations for me.
* She sounds extremely disjointed. It seemed as though she was jumping around a lot in her conversation, particularly when the operator asked her specific questions about the situation.
The operator asks her where she is, and then asks her again, and then asks her
again if she's sure. Dinya insists she's not on I-10 until the operator tells her that she can see Dinya is, in fact, on I-10. Dinya then says that she's on I-10 but going "north toward the 51," apologizes and says she's "just nervous." Throughout the conversation (based on the transcript), it seems as though she's having difficulty putting a full thought into cohesive words. It could absolutely be because of her situation; it could be because she was unfamiliar with the part of town she was in.
* She is not clear at all about how the "Mexican men" approached her vehicle.
Did they actually get out of their truck or did it just seem to her as though they intended to? And if they didn't get out, what made her think they were going to?
* If these men started following her at 7th Avenue and Broadway, like she told the 911 operator, they followed her for approximately 15 miles.
That is a fairly long distance to follow someone, particularly when the stretch of 7th Avenue to I-17 is somewhat desolate and they could have more easily shot her out there with many fewer witnesses. Again, this was just after rush hour, which means the Phoenix freeways were being heavily traveled, and she was on three of them during the course of being followed. [Note: in order for her to turn right to get on the freeway, she had to go north on 7th Avenue to Interstate 17, which connects to I-10.]
* First she said it "started at 7th Avenue, right at the freeway." The operator said, "Broadway?" and she retracted and said "yeah, 7th and Broadway."
I'm curious to know why she thought they were following her at 7th Avenue and Broadway, which is a few miles south of the entrance to the freeway. What happened at 7th Avenue and Broadway?
* She said she was unable to see a license plate (which is normal, considering a front license plate is not mandatory in AZ and they were behind her), but she could see that one of the men was wearing an Army shirt - "that's an Army shirt." It was approximately 7:05-7:15pm when she stated this, which means that it was dark or at least dusk.
How could she see what someone was wearing in a vehicle behind her when it was dark and headlights were on? Does that indicate that at least one of the men actually did get out of the truck at the entrance to the freeway and approach her car? If so, did anyone else see that at 7th Avenue and I-17?
* She stated that it looked like it was a "white pick-up truck" and then follows that with "like a work truck or something." She also said it looks like there were three people inside.
Unless it was an extended cab truck, it would have been really tough to have three men sitting in a truck - the driver, a passenger and... a third person would have had to have been in the back seat, unless it was a really old truck with a bench seat.
These are just some of the thoughts I had while reading through the transcript. Lots of questions in my mind. I sincerely hope for her family's sake that they find out who did it.
@tarabull, I saw the truck you were talking about in the video - while I suppose it's possible that the perps circled back around to make sure they'd done the job, I would guess that to be highly unlikely. Phoenix is a city absolutely filled with white work trucks, as our construction/construction services industry is a significant part of our economy. Plus, the police have a fairly heavy presence in the area of Thomas and the 51 on a normal day/night (it's not the greatest part of town), and the cops did stop some white work trucks in the area right after this happened.
