Episode 194: Timothy Dees
from Survived Hosted by Sophie and Lexi
Hello This is survived with Sophie and Lexi We started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys more Through many different topics In the cold pre-dawn hours of February 28, 2022, at about 4:40 AM, Madison County dispatchers received a 911 call from 25-year-old Timmy Dees. He told the operator that a friend who’d driven him to Fredericktown the night before was threatening him. Tragically, no recording of that call exists— Madison County’s equipment had failed the previous December and wouldn’t be replaced until mid-March. Whatever the reason for the outage, it doesn’t excuse the fact that no one stayed on the line to keep Timmy calm until officers arrived. If they had, he might still be alive today—or at least we’d have a clearer picture of what he faced that night.
