Copy.
00:17
511, do we have a location on your call or I can try to find them located?
00:25
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.
00:33
She gave us another phone number. We can try that one as well.
00:37
Copy. Did you happen to get her first name?

01:36
She's going to be on the west side of the bridge out here with us.
01:44
I'm almost there.
01:50
36.
01:54
Hey, this gal is insisting that this gentleman is underneath the east side of the fridge. If you want to let, I believe it's 49 and start now.
02:05
Copy. Do you want to bring them?
02:08
We'll double check.
02:13
342. 3406.

03:28
You can show me back in assistant until we figure out something further down there. And then can you have 3.30 meet me at the address of my assault report I was just on?
03:40
Copy?
03:41
3.30.
03:44
330.
03:47
330. And you meet 33 and I'm at near Southeast 14th Street with your camera.

04:05
Two things.
04:07
Do we have a crow test started this way for the vehicle involved in the stabbing at Mercy? And did they find a victim reference the shooting?
04:17
Negative to both that can get crow started.
04:21
Yes please. Croto.
04:25
Ivins and Leibold are both up here. Ivan's is working off D. Liebold is in the hospital.
04:30
And I believe Ivins knows the location of the vehicle. They can touch base with him when they get here and we'll get the keys to them.
04:51
Hey, this is looking more and more like 1096 issues. You can keep 501,
04:56
49, and Austin on it with me and then just get everybody else.
