I have to admit right now that I joined this forum especially so I could discuss the 911 call. I tried posting at Topix, but all anyone seems to want to talk about there is personalities, who should be the forum moderator, and things that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the death of JonBenet. Even on-topic discussions turn into the most vile, hateful flamefests... Well, anyway, this place seems a lot better, and certainly has more intelligent discussions.
I used to post at J-7, then JW, then got disgruntled (and tied up with RL) and stopped posting or even lurking on the forums that remained. Of course, like many, recent news reports renewed my interest. Anyway, back to the 911 call.
I have an audio software program that I use on my own files for video processing. I used this to try and eliminate some of the noise and pick up background voices on the released tape. Knowing what has been reported to have been heard on the professionally enhanced recording that investigators have, I believe that the released version has been cut. (Ill explain if anyone is interested in discussing that part of it.) But there is definitely a third voice (not Patsy, not John) that can clearly be heard speak three words before it is cut mid-sentence. I have a screen-capture video of the sound track where you can see where the words are spoken -- again, not professionally enhanced, but clear enough to recognize that it is not the voice of an adult. The sound quality is not good when recorded with the screen capture, so Ill gladly share the digital files if someone suggests a suitable website. The only purpose in the video was to show
where the third voice occurs. Once you've seen where it happens and have heard it, you will be able to hear it on the original released version. (I tried posting this on Topix, but somehow they kept blocking the weblinks, and no one seemed to want to discuss.)

Also (and I dont know if this has ever been discussed while I was absent from the forums), when the call first starts, I dont think Patsys first recorded sentence was being addressed to the 911 operator. Listen to the change in her voice between, Hun, we need a (or to, or the)... and the word Police! Shes already talking when the first click of the call being answered sounds, and its like shes still talking to someone else before it registers in her mind that the call has been answered. Then she immediately goes into her emergency voice and says, Police! 7, 5, 5, Fifteenth Street.
(((Her child was supposedly just kidnapped and she has enough Southern charm to address the 911 operator as Hun? I dont think anyone is that Southern.))) I think Burke was in the room during the entire call, and that Patsy was talking to him before the 911 operator answered. I also think that because of the distraction of him and John talking in the background while she was on the phone, thats why she decided to hang up immediately after saying, Hurry, hurry, hurry!
