The Special Investigation Unit says police did not respond to the scene after an initial 911 domestic disturbance call was made from the residence, or to a follow-up call to “cancel” the first call for service.

They won't respond to the first call if a second call canceled it.

The question is, did the victim cancel the call or did the person who caused her death?

I accidentally pocket-dialed 911 the other day, and was able (much too easily, I thought) tell them that it was a false alarm. I was bounced to the cop line, but they just asked a few basic questions and let it go.

I was relieved, but on another level, concerned about the damage that a good bullshitter could do.
