Episode 1 - Sitting Ducks

Description

In February 2021, 19-year-old Daisy De La O had a lot to be excited about: She’d recently started a new job, she’d saved up enough money to buy a car, and was on the verge of earning her associate’s degree. She dreamed of opening a makeup and tattoo business someday. But those dreams were shattered when she got a text message while watching T.V. with her family one night. She told them she’d be right back and stepped outside. It was the last time her family saw her alive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did Daisy De La O's story unfold?

2232.328 - 2257.746 Jen Swan

It's a long story. It involves an aggressive former tenant and Jose firing a gun into the air. He says it was to try to scare him away from the property. But Jose's takeaway was that the next time he had a problem, he'd deal with it himself. Less of a hassle than getting the police involved. But on that morning, when he found the body, he knew this was not something he could handle on his own.

the operator asks Jose to speak up. She sounds agitated. She says she can barely hear him.

2287.324 - 2291.307 911 Operator

Speaker, because I can barely hear you. No, no, I don't have you. I don't have you to speak up. Hold on.

2291.827 - 2295.73 Jen Swan

But it seems pretty clear it's not the volume that's the issue. It's the language barrier.
