Goff. 46, since you're on scene, you'll be looking for a taller white male in about 180 pounds or so. Collar wasn't unseen. I was talking to somebody who was supposed to be here. They said they'd flag you down.
01:39
Copy. I've got no attention to the east side of the bridge. Do we have anything better?
01:44
I wish I did. Our father was not particularly cooperative, but we'll try.

Copy that. We'll keep checking.
01:54
We've got multiple cars on this.

03:28
Yeah, we'll try to call her back again. I'm not sure if it's going to be a 96 issue or what's going on. She said she was not on site, but that she was talking to somebody who was.
03:35
She gave us another phone number. We can try that one as well.
03:40
Copy. Did you happen to get her first name?
