I haven’t listened to the call yet, but I’ve worked as a dispatcher, though it’s been 18 years ago, so certainly many things have changed. And I’ve called myself, too many times to count, for everything from drunk drivers and fires to FIGHTS. It’s never occurred to me to wait to call AFTER the incident - instead, one tends to call as quickly as possible.
If the initial part of the incident went down as stated, Tylee would have been upset then, too. She’d likely have wanted to call during the fight, as a normal reaction.
Honestly, the most generous, benefit of the doubt-giving (toward Alex & Lori) interpretation that I can come up with is deliberately escalating the situation. And then it goes downhill into premeditated.
And why was Alex outside? Does the dispatcher on the call tell him to go outside when the cops arrived?
I’m just... the gun was in a different room. The body was blatantly laid out. There’s not enough blood anywhere there should be blood. If Charles was coming toward him with a baseball bat, the scene wouldn’t look like that. He’d fall forward, or at least disorganized... and blood likely would have gone on the floor... and been obvious on that wood floor.
His phone, though? Where’d it turn up? With Lori? I bet she took it out of his shorts pocket... and I bet she took it because he was - or she thought he was - recording audio or video.
That phone should probably have been confiscated and searched - especially as it belonged to the deceased. I wonder if they even got it back from Lori and turned it over to his family?
