Yeah never remove anything but in this case it wouldn’t of made a difference. Her the body was cold & rigour mortise had begun so there was no chance of her being revived. The heart cannot be restarted & she would’ve been completely brain dead at that point which is why the husband was refusing to attempt CPR. The police also confirmed rigour had begun so they didn’t attempt anything either. I feel terrible for the husband I would’ve lost it at the dispatcher.

[@zippitydoowopjoe]

In regards to the dispatcher continuously advising the guy to give CPR after he is already alerted her that his wife is cold to the touch and dead, I'm always perplexed how this is even advisable since giving CPR could contaminate potential evidence

[@567dirt8910]

I understand what you are saying, but I assume potentially saving a life is more important than possibly inadvertently destroying evidence. I imagine the thinking is that authorities know a 911 caller in this situation is experiencing complete sensory overload and is in a state of shock. They can't necessarily be counted on to make rational decisions. All of that along with the fact they are most likely not a medical professional, nor have they ever seen a dead body, the most prudent thing would be to attempt CPR/chest compressions. I'm sure there have been plenty of situations where someone thought a person was beyond help but ended up surviving. OF course, the opposite also happens like in this case, where it is blatantly obvious that it is far too late, as well.

[@chasugc3740]

I think these dispatchers are trying to extract information. If they are actually talking to the killer, then the killer might slip up and say something condemning. A lot of the time the killer calls trying to set an alibi. Also, the killer might still be in the area and the dispatcher would need to extract that information as well. Plus, it must be real difficult for any human being to discuss violent murder. I would never fault the dispatcher. They are the ones that send help and try to help us.

Dispatcher had no way of knowing she was dead. All she had was a voice on the phone telling her that. She did a very professional job dealing with an understandably distraught caller.

This dispatcher needs better training. Ridiculous! Poor man

[@CarmenBelcher]

This is why I vote pro-choice. These unwanted pregnancies grow up deranged taking their pain out on others. RIP Sherry. I love books too. I also pray for the childhood sweetheart who had to discover her. I was a foster child myself raised by high school sweethearts who have been together since the 1970s and still going. Please vote pro-choice. This world is wicked due to unwanted pregnancies.

[@steelhurricane4041]

That's a lie from the wicked one. Who is telling children that they are unwanted and unloved. Bad people.

[@katelyncollins9330]

Bro honestly the way the operator clearly made him more stressed with 90000 questions after he said shes COLD. Why does it matter how much blood there is? You want me to freaking weigh the blood out? Unnecessary af.

[@2ndZac]

To everyone giving the operator grief - it is almost ALWAYS advisable to perform CPR until EMS arrives and determines a death. There are few cases is which you do not want to move or touch a body. You could save a life by keeping or restarting someone’s heart function. The dispatcher also has no reason to believe that his diagnosis is right. In this moment flowing with panic and emotions, someone could very easily be wrong.

[@Patriotgirl45]

She is cold .. 911 operator let me give you cpr instructions wtf

[@PeterPan-mn4cb]

That 911 operator is unbelievable. How many times does the poor man have to tell her she's dead. That 911 operator needs a lot more training on how to handle 911 callers. She is unbelievable!

However, not having a dad does NOT mean a child will do this at 19.

[@CatholicHousewife2017]

@alison4316 very true, though it does increase the risk.

[@kimward5746]

Amazing detective. And the thing about his being there because his foster/adopted family had gone on vacation without him.... Gross. Why would a foster/adoptee family do that???? That would totally depress anyone. It would make an adopted kid feel like garbage though. What a tragic story all around.

[@Yes_Anastasia]

Happens all the time to foster kids. Many times they are treated like pests. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. And then we expect these children to grow up, become adults and be “normal”. It’s insane.

[@CatholicHousewife2017]

If he was a foster child at the time, his family is required by law to leave him behind anytime they leave the county. Foster children, without a judge's court order - which is nearly impossible to obtain - aren't permitted to leave the county at any time.

[@toycarpgmr]

My brother and I were adopted in the 1940s. Our adoptive parents regularly went on vacation without us leaving us at home with my mother's mother or a live-in housekeeper. We both have had successful lives, now retired.

[@moneyisviscous]

@@CatholicHousewife2017that is simply not true! I helped a lady who Fosters children and we took the kids on vacation all the time and we traveled out of the county for church events and field trips! We only hd to tell the SOCIAL WORKER in advance and give her the location.

[@CatholicHousewife2017]

@moneyisviscous perhaps rules are different in different places? We were in Northern CA & Foster Families were required to get a Judge's permission in Court in order to leave the County, State or Country with a Foster Child.

[@earth7451]

There is not a safe place anywhere. A decent area, a quiet bookstore, and this happened there. My prayers are for the family of the innocent victim.

[@chanv2624]

There never was a safe place. Killers come from every background and socioeconomic level. This is not hard to understand. Evil doesn’t have one “type”

[@lexiaaforever437]

The dispatcher needs training sooooo bad . Clearly he’s in distress telling you she’s dead yet you are asking him about CPR & all these unnecessary questions. Nobody has time for that !

57:43 bro. U’r no hero. U were a coward for ten years, and u’ll remain one until ur last breath. U WERE AND ARE NOT A VICTIM REGARDING THE MURDER(S)

[@mitziclarendon6354]

I see how the detective got him to admit to the crime and “sign” the letter to the family while he was feeling remorseful. I think this was a tactic more about getting his confession written and signed rather than just “apologizing to the family”. Great detective…caring and professional!

[@tinacarvelli6884]

How many times does the husband have to say she's dead?! Who trains these 911 operators?

[@danbaron2561]

The first ten minutes of the interrogation, Pender gives a speech of B.S., basically saying that if Adam tells his story, he will get a break in court. Then, Pender flatters him into life without parole! Nice! Also, he wants the smallest details, just in order to guarantee a conviction!!

[@redhellix4031]

That cop needed to stop talking! He was basically creating the murderer's defense!
