If you check on FB you'll get your answers. It's an odd one for sure.

An interview with the mom should begin in about 10 minutes at the Youtube channel above.

Wow, according to the live video 911 call wasn't recorded due to budget cuts (that's what the police told Barbara, Timmy's mom).

What?! Budget cuts?! How much does recording 911 calls cost? You can get terrabytes and terrabytes of storage for just a few dollars.

Plus, I would have thought recoding a 911 call would be a legal obligation, partly for evidence, if need be, on both the call takers side and the person calling.

By not recording it, you are leaving it down to memory, or a "he said, she said" version of a story.

That is not good enough in modern crimefighting. It won't stand up in a court or a prosecution.

Audio evidence is vital.

MOO.

It seems the budget cuts affected the repair of the system.

Seems that getting the missing person report filed when the claim is made from another area is a problem these days. Precious time is lost while jurisdictional issues are ironed out.
From everything Mom said, her son went to a friend's place on Village Creek Road in Madison County. At about 4:30am Timmy dialed 911 for help claiming he was being chased. Police went to the residence, Timmy wasn't there.

Sounds like there was a party or something going on that night? I checked to see which home would have been Caleb's, but there's no one by that last name that lives on Village Creek Rd, so they may have been visiting someone there.

His mom finally has answers she's been seeking. My thoughts go out to her and all who love Timmy.

May he rest in eternal peace.

He was found on private property. Hopefully more details are released soon and we find out the cause of death and manner of death.
His Mom was so dedicated to finding him. If there was foul play involved, I’m sure she will be just as dedicated to getting justice for her son.
