True...but, and I know I might sound like a jerk here, do you really need to practice dialing three numbers???? It sounds like either she really had a legitimate reason for calling, and then either changed her mind or was coerced to hang up...or she was under the influence. I pray to God that I will never be in the position to understand her pain firsthand, but I really don't think (even under her circumstances of fear/pain), that there is a legitimate reason to "practice" dialing 9-1-1.

Sorry, I'm a bit skeptical because I have listened to scanners and rarely hear names. Addresses, yes. Names, no.

Or maybe Mom just has a damned good "hunch", and is scared chitless that she'll be next!
Saturday, February 13th - day before Valentine's Day. At about noon.
If you're referring to my posts as 'chastizing' ... seriously, I was in no way chastizing him and I hope he realizes it. I was just kidding around about his "my wife made me do it" comment. I like Del and truly appreciate the fact that he's been contributing some interesting comments and pics, too!
I welcome all posts and posters, even IF I don't agree with the post. :angel:
I don't think there is any way anyone knows how they might or might not react in a similar situation. I think we should cut her some slack. But, that's just me.

All I know is when it was being said, my husband and youngest son turned around and ask if I had heard her name as well. I know I heard the name and heard it correctly, as did everyone else sitting in my living room

I agree- if she was really telling the truth, there is never a legitimate reason to "practice" dialing 911. These false calls slow the response to real emergencies. I'm not positive about WA, but in many states this is a criminal offense.
I wonder if she really was in trouble- I would assume the police would have to check things out right? What if someone had a gun to her head and she had to say those things?

Magic said, "I believe", not "I'm certain".
I thought that the way a scanner works is that it continuously scans a number of stations and stops on the one that is transmitting, right? I would never have been able to answer this if it were me listening to our scanner. It is kept in a completely different room and I don't run up to it and check to see what station it's transmitting from. Even if I did get up to look, the scanner may be on a totally different station by the time I reached it.
Don't you think an exception 'might' be made in the case of someone whose daughter had just been found murdered? Maybe as IF to transmit (without actually saying) for any officer in the area to run by and do a spot check, if possible.

Has anybody done any checking on MC's father? What role did he play in her life? He is in construction, also. I haven't seen anything at all and you guys are all pretty good sleuths, so I'm assuming there is just nothing there. Just wondering.

I don't think a whole lot has been mentioned about him. Neither in here or in the media. Good thinking though, AutumnRose.

Perhaps she has a friend in LE, or at RiverCom, who she keeps in contact with. Maybe those calls were just her checking in.

In LOVELY BONES the perpetrator was very close to the family home. He was a neighborhood friend. He "got away with murder."

Good night everybody! I'm flying all day tomorrow.......back home to Wenatchee.....and it's killing me that I won't be able to get on my computer to see what's happening! I don't mind telling you that it is with a heavy heart that I return. I'm going home to a different Wenatchee than the one I left not even 2 months ago. I have a feeling Del Rio was spot on when he predicted that things will end up being more sinister than we even picture it now. How in the world are our high schoolers going to deal with all of this????? I thank God mine are beyond this, although we went through the Huffman tragedies. My 14 year old daughter at the time went to school with Mandy. She had a strong faith! God be with our Wenatchee children! and God be with WC! Whether she was involved or not.............I do not know! I only know it would kill me if it were one of mine! I pray we can route out whatever evil has done this thing! It's a blessing to have such a team as the group on this site, giving MacKenzie a voice! Giving all our children a voice. I hope she knows, somehow, that we've got her back............that she is not alone.
hi all,
i've been reading the threads ever since i saw the link on ww (like most of the fellow newbies) and wanted to say keep up the good work.
this is probably nothing, but with all of the family member/someone close to her theories...
the day before mc's body was found, a reliable source was speaking with a family member of hers (mc) and was very put off by the aloofness of said family member. the family member was chalking up her disappearance to girls being girls and meeting someone on the internet and running away with them and didn't sound too concerned.
after reading all of the threads here, what i was told further struck me because of the attitude of another family member of this poor dear girl.
sorry for the vagueness, this is my first post here and i just want to make sure i do not violate any tos or anything

Yeah, that's probably not a practical theory. I think I will officially abandon it.
