OH GOD, NOO-," and the call ending abruptly, the operator knowing he's gone but still repeating his name, it haunts me to this day.

the 911 call debra stevens made while she was stuck in her car during a flood and the water was rapidly rising is the saddest and most horrifying audio i have ever heard. she was terrified and even asked the operator to pray with her and the operator was so rude telling her to stop acting like that ect and that operator then listened to that woman drown over the phone as she got completely submerged.

[@larae6885]

Omg I HATE the operator she was Soo damn mean. The poor lady was so scared

[@pptemplar5840]

I figured that maybe this call would be a situation where the operator was trying to help but was doing so in an aggressive or unpleasant way, something I could understand, guiding someone in a moment of life or death you need to be clear and make sure they stay focused, but honestly it didn't even sound like the operator was taking her very seriously, like she brought up that she had other calls? Why? What does that have to do with the situation in front of you? Even if you are hopelessly overwhelmed, telling me that is literally just wasting breath, does she expect the person in an emergency situation to be like "sorry ma'am I'll try to die slower so you can get to everyone"? Not praying with them is totally forgivable, you can use the breath you would spend praying to try and help, but the way it felt like the situation wasn't even treated with the seriousness it deserved is pretty infuriating.

[@ildisiri]

I stopped listening to that once I realised she would go on to pass away. It seemed to me that she would be rescued given the time they had to do so and also my hopes for this horrifying call to have a good side to it, but as the video kept going I was like hol'up then go on to read some of the comments and closed the video. I am NOT putting that call in my brain. Poor lady, I can't find anything to say about it. Sad? Tragic? It can happen to anyone like it's terrifying. Btw I'm very lenient on people's behaviors where I work, trying to give them space to be themselves and not have them all be politically correct undistinguishable robots but for the love of God this is a definitively 100% a fire-the-operator situation if I've seen one. AT LEAST. She could even face some charges if I was the family of this poor lady. May she rest in peace. What a tragic ending to a life.

[@only_thee_ash_c7516]

Luckily, protocols have been changed due to this call and the poor lady involved. Now, 911 dispatchers are given precise instructions for these kinds of situations they may vary a little depending upon what state/or county setting them. (I have been a 911 dispatcher for almost 10 years now). So we have options depending on what they have available to them (things to break the window, when to roll the windows down before electronics are fried, instructing them on how to wait until the pressure equalizes and trying to open the door).

Considering Canadians are stereotypically so much friendlier, etc, it really is surprising the number of deaths and disappearances they’ve let slide. Amber’s case is kinda two-fold for me; on one hand, it IS incredibly sad what happened to her. And it’s chilling to hear that man quite obviously lying to her. But on the other, why was she so desperate to go into the city that she would leave, not only her friend, but her SON as well, at the motel? And despite hitchhiking apparently still being commonplace up there then, why would you risk it in that situation when you don’t completely have to? Again, it’s a tragedy what happened to her, truly, I just wish she had made some better choices.

[@cassidyjones2730]

@@cskyler7091 the stereotype is from the point of view of primarily white USAmericans and doesn’t account for Canada’s status as a white dominated former settler colony. A hugely disproportionate number of missing or murdered women are neglected by police if they are First Nations / indigenous.

@@angiep2229 dispatch, paramedics, firefighters, and police all have a higher risk for PTSD. I have it from my years as a paramedic. One call had me and the dispatcher going for PTSD counseling after we lost a 3 year old boy who was run over. The dispatcher got the call and heard the blood curdling screams and the caller hung up but they called a few seconds later. When a first responder, and my partner and I got to the call the child’s father was on the ground cradling his son. He didn’t see his son ran over to greet him when he was in his truck. Unfortunately the child ran behind the truck and his dad didn’t see him. This was in 2006 before backup cameras were popular. We scooped him up and put him in the ambulance and I tried to intubate him immediately because he was unresponsive but he was alive. As I intubated him he went into cardiac arrest and we never got him back. He was the second to youngest I’ve done CPR on with a 22 week old premie being the youngest as he was just born in the mothers car. We never got him back and I remember after the father was told that he lost his son it took 2 nurses to walk him into the room. I never forgot that. The father was an EMT/ firefighter as well and we were terrified we would get a call to his house for a suicide. Thankfully we never got the call! I wonder how he is. There have been some other horrible calls but a 43 year old got to me as well when he went from very stable and talking to flash pulmonary edema and dying while we were enroute to the ER. He coded as we got to the ER. It’s hard to even think about. I wonder how his son is as it’s been almost 13 years. His 16 year old was left an orphan and thankfully his grandparents took him in. Dispatcher and being a first responder is very hard especially mentally.

I’ve sung all my life. As a technical second soprano, I usually sang first soprano.I was a second only in my voice having a heavier quality than the clear, true first. Most of the firsts I sang with couldn’t or wouldn’t attempt to sing the really high notes. The first time you played the clip, I thought it was, like me, a second singing first. After your explanation and replaying, I could hear the difference. But, make no mistake, this man may well have been able to hit notes I could only dream of hitting!

[@katerinaaqu]

It is possible. Although I would suspect not all castrati can hit like coloratura soprano frequencies we can imagine they can absolutely reach at least same frequencies as prepubescent children (which of course is high enough) Of course the main purpose of a castrato was not high notes alone since if one sees the tenors they technically sing higher than a soprano sometimes. Their purpose was their voice not just hit high notes but have that feminine frequency to them.

Something odd happened to me after the first time I heard the Ruth Price call; I was watching a KZbin video of disturbing phone calls just like this one and moments after hearing this call i got a phone call from a number I didn't recognize that showed up as "R Price". It freaked me out so bad, I sent it to voice mail and the caller left a voicemail but I never listened to it. Nothing like that has ever happened to me like that before and it creeped me out for weeks 😬

[@Dreadjaws]

I have a funnier version of this story, to lighten the mood a bit. I was watching the movie "Hot Tub Time Machine" and suddenly I get a phone call. I ask who is it and the guy on the other side of the line tells me he's from _the future._ Momentarily shocked I ask "What?" and he says he's there with the pizza I ordered. Then I remembered that "The Future" is the name of the pizza place. Wild moment.

[@ildisiri]

Yo but like we are now all curious. There was no way it was smth paranormal/malicious, just the odd coincidence. Go listen to it and tell us you scaredy cat 😂😂😑😡🤣🤣

@@iamrococoo It's not like I would be "ok, cool" I would freak the f out but like after I calmed down my curiosity would step in and ultimately I believe I would have opened it.

[@rainbowbw95]

I literally despise you for not listening to the voicemail

[@ZombieSazza]

I’m sorry, they did WHAT to Alessandro?!?!? Puberty is extremely important so we can develop into adults, but hearing he was castrated just so he could sing better? That’s a leave of cruelty I cannot fathom. That song at the beginning was beautiful, now it’s nightmarish.

[@marlasanger6716]

The second I heard Alessandro’s voice, I knew exactly why the clip was going to be spooky. I learned about castrados in high school, in a history of classical music course.

I knew the moment you said he was a male soprano... this part of history terrified, the things they do to oeople

[@schwaggbagYES]

At first I thought “oh the ol’ Ruth Price call” and started to tune out, but was shocked that they’d likely found out who she was! I’m so glad she’s okay - I was so positive she’d died, and it was always such a horrific phone call to listen to

[@lesflynn4455]

Far Valuable is an extremely appropriate name for the person who chased the information about Ruth Price right to the end. So many people would have been haunted by those bone chilling screams. It's so good she survived the attack and lived another 14 years.

[@smugraisins]

Thank you for being so thorough on people’s stories and lives and who they were and what happened to them. It is a fate, but it is not just some faceless victim. What I’m trying to say is that I see the love. And also I appreciate the editing pace that you’ve developed. It deepens my experience and concentrates it in a sense. Pure pleasure.

They 100% didn't care and were fine with her dying. Claiming that she must have been out doing drugs immediately, and then lying to say that they can't start searching for her until 24hrs (the most crucial time to find a missing person) have passed, shows how disgusting their views of First Nations women are. They don't deserve to be cops.

[@genghis_connie]

Amber’s call being captured on a prison line is news to me - and I’ve heard this so many times. Thanks for the added detail. Crazy.

[@MaiAolei]

10:31 The second you said "First Nations Women" everything about this case made sense. Amber's fate, the response by the RCMP and her brother being in prison is the entire First Nations experience in a nutshell. I am also quite certain that the RCMP did not respond to her mother's missing person's report with words as nice as "out partying".

[@morphman86]

That last one had me on edge. Thank you for ending on that, I really needed to hear those last few sentences.

[@kittyjayway]

I remember the second audio quite well as I first heard it while listening to a podcast called Crime Junkie. It really is a sad and horrifying set of circumstances and the fact it was swept under the rug is despicable.

[@discoj7112]

It's unfortunately far too common. Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) is the name of the movement trying to bring awareness to many of these tragic cases and the lack of response from officials.

[@meddy8216]

I'm a 911 dispatcher and have been for more than 24 years. That 911 call was played in my academy class in 1999. I've heard it many times and it still gives me chills. But it does drive home our number 1 priority for every single call we take.. Where? Without your location we don't know where to begin to send help. Technology today has come a long way during my years and we can find you a lot easier but like everything else it is not perfect. So if you ever have to call 911 say the location of the emergency first. Even if that's all you can say... then leave the line open. We are trained to listen to not only what we hear but what we don't hear as well. God bless and stay safe everyone.

[@ecm84ee]

The most bone chilling scream I heard was a woman just before she was killed in a quake. No recording can capture the sound of it. It doesn't seem to come from the lungs or voice box... it's like it comes from the soul. That last moment of life. It stays with you, vibrates your bones, fear just seems to consume every cell of your being. And the final thing that makes it worse; the sudden silence after. Reality hitting you in the chest with a sledge hammer, like the air being squeezed out your lungs and a chill comes over you as you realize everything you just witnessed. If anyone has witnesses a scream in real life of moment before death will know what I mean. No recording seems to capture it. It's chilling, like Ruth's recording, but not through an recording it sounds so... just different. It's so hard to explain.

[@marlonisaac1]

[@hellyeah_ellajane]

The scream made me think of “The Invention of Sound” by Chuck Palahniuk. There’s a world-famous foley artist who is known for her screams. Turns out, she was murdering her voice actors and capturing their final terrified moments, hence the sincerity of their pain and terror.

[@ildisiri]

I’m happy to learn that Ruth lived, because everytime I’ve seen someone post the audio they also mentioned that “it was most likely a FAKE 911 training video of some sort”, and I’ve never believed that. It just sounds like someone truly thinking they’re about to die, and I’ve never been able to forget it

I think Ruth heard him when he entered when she said “comes to my door and hm” she went quiet fast as if she heard a small thud or noise but wasn’t sure then I can imagine her looking back again as she says “and uh” then doesn’t hear anything so here I can only imagine that she’s peeking out the window slightly seeing if she sees anything at this point I feel like he was behind her either he stood there for a moment or in the next room listening as she was peeking out a window then turns around a few seconds later as she sees him standing there as he attacks her the next second. I don’t know is she was near a window or not the reason I think that is because if you put yourself in her situation that someone is creeping around your house and your on the phone with 911 and as your explaining your trying to take tiny peeks through the curtains without opening them because you’re keeping watch like just the voice alone you can tell she was terrified when she went silent first time to listen I bet she got a wave of chills flood her wanting to just run out of the house like a scared kid in the dark alone thinking outside is safer, that would be me 100% but that’s how I imagine it happening to her just from the way she talks and sounds

[@bjvivs]

Just found this channel. Love the presentation style. I could listen for hours and hours straight and not get bored!

[@j.griffin]

If Ruth Price was attacked in 1980 then she was probably just talking to a regular phone operator since that was two years before San Diego adopted the 911 system. Before 911, all you could do was dial “O” for Operator if you didn’t have the police or fire department number at hand or already have it memorized. That’s why they came up with 911-type systems in the first place. Most people aren’t thinking straight and can’t just call 411 or get out a phonebook to find the number and- a lot of times… They just don’t have the time.

[@matovicmmilan]

Why would they call 411?

[@j.griffin]

@@seanking1775 There are NUMEROUS opinions and versions of this story. Regardless, whether it was her age or the date in time she apparently called the standard operator instead of 911, whether it existed or not. If it was 1990 and she lived 14 more years then that would move her death to 2004. From what I have read on this, it was in the early 80’s and she lived about 5 years afterward and died a non-violent death. However, unlike many people here on KZbin, I do not claim infallibility. I,therefore, could be wrong.

[@j.griffin]

@@matovicmmilan Like I said- People in emergencies “can’t just call 411… to find the number”. Whether it’s a phonebook or 411, they are typically freaking out too much and can’t think straight. So, before 911 they would sometimes just call the standard operator because they didn’t know the right number and they didn’t have the time or concentration to find it. Some people can’t even push the buttons because they’re shaking so bad. There was a time when it was common for ALL phones and EVERY phone call to need an operator to complete the call. It was called “telephony”. A majority of the Bell System subscribers as late as the mid-20th century in the United States and Canada were served by party lines, which had a discount over individual service. During wartime shortages, these were often the only available lines. That would have been when Ruth Price was middle aged or even older.

[@TBH_Inc]

Yep, that Ruth case was so famous, but it had been so long it seemed like it would never get solved. Glad you did your research and made sure to include what happened. And ya, I definitely remember people writing off that one Ruth because she died so much later.

The pauses Ruth made during the call made me think she sensed something was off. I'm glad to learn she was ok 🙏

I came across your channel recently and I am enjoying it very much. Briefly If i may... i once instructed Anthropology, Linguistics, Critical Thinking (Advanced) and Philosophical concepts at a major institution. FYI "Begs/Begging the question", is to identify a fallacy (logical) - circular reasoning - not a suggestion to provoke a question or inquiry, as you utilized it in this video. Love your channel and I look forward to future episodes!

There are some really great actors, but no matter how talented they may be you just can't act that level of sheer terror, in my opinion. I'm convinced that is the same Ruth price as in the call and very relieved that she was not injured or killed. Just being that terrified is bad enough for an older woman, all alone.

Just thought I would comment on Ambers case and add a bit more to it, because it is crucial. She was a First Nations woman. It’s a common stereotype to say that “ well maybe they’re out partying” and don’t take the case seriously at all. It’s truly terrifying how much MMIW there are.

[@debrakleid5752]

Hearing the little old lady scream made my hair stand up and a chill go through my veins. I was a paramedic and I’ve seen things no one should ever see or hear. There was one call I went on and after the call was over the 911 operator and I went to therapy. She heard the blood curdling screams of a woman who called 911 after her 3 year old child was accidentally run over. I got therapy because this little boy who was alive when we arrived went into cardiac arrest as I was intubating him. Dad accidentally run over his child when he was backing up his truck. He didn’t see him. When we had arrived to the call he was laying on the ground so we thought maybe the operator got his age wrong and that he wasn’t 3 but 33 maybe? As we got closer we saw dad cradling his dying son. After he went into cardiac arrest we never got pulses back. He is the 2nd to youngest person I’ve done CPR on. After the hospital pronounced him dead it took 2 nurses holding up this grieving father to walk him into the room of his beautiful son. He was able to donate his eyes to someone in need of vision
