he might cut around the side there by 470 on the interstate, just say you're aware.
03:53
Copy.
03:57
94 to 92.
04:04
Did he go left or right after coming up the hill?
04:10
Like a diagonal,
04:12
not straight up towards Bethlehem,
04:15
more out towards 42,
04:17
but on a right or a southern leading path.
04:22
I'm not 100% sure where you went when you got to top the hill.
04:25
It flitens out and can't see him anymore.
04:28
I'm just on foot checking in that area.
04:31
All units, just be advised, PD got to the top of the hill, lost visual.
04:36
At the Palf of the Hill.
04:38
They can get what street they're on or close to.
04:43
So if I had to guess,
04:46
we're probably about three-fourths of the way off I-470 in that direction.
04:56

05:57

Got 4-8, 16 and 4.
06:04
Good.
06:05
This is quite the hill.
06:07
I'm pretty windy coming up here, so this gentleman's probably better down somewhere up here.
