      I would blame it on the 911 operator. I’m not sure how it works but I would think that the 911 operator had to tell the cops “oh just take your time it’s nothing extremely important” or something like that.

      @Ban Me Nots, I Want You To Remember I can attest after having to speak to west valley police before for a wide range of issues you have to be extremely specific and really make it out as a serious situation even if you’re not sure so they take it seriously.

    It bothers me how careful we have to be when choosing a partner. Even then, so many cases are about spouses snapping out of nowhere and there was no way to see it coming. Sometimes when the relationship is abusive, like this one, you can kinda see how it could go so wrong, but I don't think most people expect murder to happen.

      Not sure if you have seen these around the internet, but many women, myself included, have created "If I Go Missing" Folders. People include details about their social media accounts, recent head shots, medical/dental records, banking information, identifying scars/tattoos/birthmarks, contacts etc. It is sad I even must say this, but people list off potential suspects that could be involved as well. It is devastating that this is what the world has come to, but it is a precaution I recommend we should all take.

      Yes it's completely obnoxious but I do understand why he said it now that I've listen clearly to it it's because right before that he asks her who's exercising the visit meaning who is having the visit with the children she says I am I think she just misunderstood the question because her mind was racing and she was panicked and that freaking idiot operator did not bother to just move on past it

      I mean I can understand why as a 911 operator you would want to clarify hey but you're not supposed to supervise your own self if you're having a supervised visit but at the same time he should have grasped quickly that she made a mistake because she already explained to him that the dad was having the visit so he should have caught on that she just misspoke and move past it to get those children help

    The little boy's drawing of them in the truck with the mother in the trunk could've very well indicated she was in the trunk as they drove 2 hours to the camping site where they roasted smores.. being the late time of the night the boys were likely tired and perhaps had fallen asleep and gave Josh the opportunity to dispose of the body before driving back home with the boys..

She walks into a room she immediately turns on a radio, TV, or something playing on her cellphone. So, I'm curious: do you think all your studying of true crime leaves you unsettled, at least on an unconscious level, so that being in silence is unsettling to you? (My mother loves true or fiction crime shows, too).

    When you explained the 911 call, I got really upset. But then when I heard it, I realized what he meant. He thought she was one of the parents.
    The operator clearly thinks the supervisor is the mom of the kids, since she says she’s making the visit. You can’t be the supervisor for your own kids. It clearly doesn’t add up. Seems like the operator thinks he just caught her in a lie and she’s just having a normal divorced couple fight and is trying to lie to escalate it and get Josh in trouble.
    The operator definitely could’ve handled this call better, but I feel like I get what he was thinking.

      He was reprimanded, with a letter. Ouch, must have really sucked to be him and get that letter, after waiting 8mins to actually dispatch the police and another 13mins for them to arrive due to him applying the non emergency rating. Poor guy. The letter included the administration agreeing with him that there were many things out of his control and that he should just 'do better'. Oh, and they said, this whole situation should have a corrective nature and not a punitive nature. So, overall... he barely got a smack on the wrist, was provided excuses as to why he sucked so bad, and wasn't punished in any way, just corrected. We'll never know whether the children could have been saved if the operator had acted like a human being and understood the urgency. Although, them arriving only 13mins later for a non emergency call means, they were pretty damned close. But then he did only dispatch the police, not the fireman. So, even if the police had arrived, they would have had to wait for the firetrucks.
