Could be, eh? :biggrin:
ETA: Or simply, the caller said "yeah, the driver's here". I mean seriously, when a cop asks you a question about someone being there, why on earth would you respond "the wipers were on"? If a caller was somehow traumatized, then a dispatcher would have asked the Q again until they got an appropriate response.
Caveat: The above all hinges on my recollection of the Q and A in that transcript (which I can't seem to find right now to confirm. Am still looking for it)
I transcribed that part in this post, SB.
LA LA - Shane Fell, 36, Marrero, 9 June 2011 - Page 8 - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community
Dispatch: Is anyone still in the car?
Caller: The windshield wipers is still on.
I half suspect the reply was deliberately edited out. But if that's the case, why leave in the question?
And if the car looked then the way it did when it was photographed, how on G*d's green earth were the windshield wipers on? And for that matter, how did Shane crawl out of the window? That doesn't seem possible from the photos of the car. He must have been covered in mud. But no muddy footprints on the street nearby?
I posed this question earlier in the thread, but I don't believe I got a response. Could the car originally have been in a more upright position, and then rolled all the way over after Shane exited, and after the 911 call? I know it doesn't seem likely. So how else do we explain the windshield wipers?
