The Dallas Police Department said D'Lisa Kelley, a 24-year-old pregnant mother, was found dead Friday morning in an abandoned house in the 2100 block of Presidio Avenue.

Kelley had been missing for a week prior to police locating her body. “We’re just trying to make it aware that we need to find justice,” said Kelley’s sister LaShaun Steward.

Posted: Mar 27, 2014 2:04 PM CST Updated: Mar 27, 2014 10:28 PM CST

DALLAS - The family of a murdered Dallas woman wants a change in the way police handle 911 calls about missing people. Additionally, Dallas police have begun an internal investigation into how the department handled a 911 call regarding that woman.
<snip>But the family said no officers came out to talk to them that night. And the officer that came to the house after their second call told them nothing could be done for a week, they said.
...
This is the second time in two years the city has launched an internal investigation into the handling of 911 calls in a murder case.

About 40 minutes after leaving her grandmother's house last March, D'Lisa Kelley made an apparently accidental call to her sister.

"All she could hear was Lisa screaming,"

Newly-released police recordings — including the 911 call — don't answer the question of whether D'Lisa Kelley's life could have been saved. They do, however, shed new light on a police supervisor's decision not to send officers to investigate her disappearance.
