When I listen to Linda Dolloff in the 911 call, these are my thoughts:

1. I am amazed at how calm she is when she waits to the 911 operator start to speaking.
2. I find when the 911 operator says what is your emergency, Linda doesn’t say someone tried to kill me! Or say someone just shot me! There is a stranger in my house! Help! Usually in emergencies, people give the most important details first. However, deceptive people often want to play down the important details so they don’t look suspicious, so other people can draw their own conclusions (hopefully reaching the RIGHT one), because it is hard to say an affirmative statement that is a lie.
3. I immediately noticed that Linda says quite loudly and without any fear, “Somebody’s in my house.” She also says it TWICE. If someone is in her house, why isn’t she afraid he may come find her and kill her?? This is flat out inconsistent. We all have survival instincts, and hers aren’t kicking in, I suspect, for a reason.
4. The way Linda says, “Somebody’s in my house” sounds like a whine to me. Listen to the end pronunciation how it drags as she says it. It’s notable.
5. Why wouldn’t she give the police her numerical address? I would do that if I was worried, so I left nothing to chance. I would want the police there immediately. Does she hope this will stall them? Even if she is the only house on the street, why not be sure they don’t make an error?
6. When the dispatcher says how do you know someone is in your house, it almost sounds like Linda laughs! Did you notice? She also doesn’t answer the question. A person in grave danger with a true intruder would know immediately why they suspect someone is in the house. This is flat out inconsistent. Linda says, “Oh god. I don’t know. My husband’s not responding.” That makes absolutely no sense!
7. Then it appears she remembers what she wanted to say, “He shot me, he shot me” as an “afterthought”. Would you forget if someone shot you? It seems plausible to me that you might forget that you were shot, if you staged something and were “recreating the events,” however.

   We are only 15 seconds into this call, mind you. Lots of red flags…

8. The dispatcher is totally taken back by Linda’s statement “He shot me.” He says “What?” This makes sense. Most people don’t forget to leave one of the most important details out! Most people, if they believed they were shot and can’t see, would typically fear they could die from their injuries, but not Linda. She seems to have no concern about her injuries, which I find very peculiar.
9. When the dispatcher asks Linda if her husband shot her, she says very strangely “No, no! My husband, he is not answering me.” How could she be sure it wasn’t her husband? This is notable for me. Most people would say “I don’t know who shot me. It’s dark! I need help.”
10. Linda never says she needs help, to get an ambulance, that she’s hurt. Why? Does she not want to draw attention to herself? This is very unusual.
11. Linda’s crying in the background of the call when the dispatcher is relaying what he thinks happened to EMT sounds like a resigned cry, as if she is mourning something. When people cry in fear and panic, it is a very different cry.
12. The EMT man asks her, “What happened”. Linda says she doesn’t know. She doesn’t know?? This is nonsense. She goes on to set her stage, again, if you ask me. She says, “I heard noises. I came down the hall. This loud bang and he dropped, somebody went… I don’t know, my husband, I haven’t….” If someone asked a shooting victim what just happened, and they knew they were shot, I would suspect the majority of them would say I was shot, and then give details.

    The fact Linda is so sparse on details flags me. Think of the reverse. If you staged something, it is hard to create details for something you didn’t experience.

13. Linda also leaves off pronouns “…this loud bang”. She doesn’t say I heard this loud bang.
14. Linda also says, “He dropped…” Then she says, “somebody went”. If she thinks this is a guy, she should stick to “he”, but she is changing her references, which is also inconsistent.
15. The way she screams, “I don’t know”. It’s pure frustration. Why is she frustrated instead of scared? Why doesn’t she just admit, “I’m so confused”, if she is confused. She doesn’t tell us how she is feeling at all. Most people in her situation would be saying how scared they are. Not Linda.
16. Linda says, “I crawled to the bedroom. I called and he’s not answering. He’s gurgling.”

    She tells us she did this before she called. No worry about an intruder, is there? She called many times without any concern of the intruder…Hmmm… If you heard your husband gurgling, would you make a 911 call in another room and just sit there listening, or would you go help him? Linda was on the phone with 911 for nearly 3 minutes, where she could have helped Jeff, but she didn’t.

17. When the dispatcher asks if anyone is still there, Linda now says she doesn’t think so…her dog would be barking. Really? Why didn’t her dog barks alert her when the guy was there originally?? Did she ever talk of a dog bark?
18. When the dispatcher tells her an ambulance is on the way, she has no urgency. She has no concern for her gurgling husband, does she? She doesn’t say hurry, get here quickly. My husband sounds like he is dying!! No, she doesn’t.
19. It’s chilling to hear her sob “What do I do now?” I think most people would crawl to their husband to see if he is alive and if they can do anything.
20. The dispatcher asks, “Did you see anything at all?” Linda replies, “It’s dark. It’s dark. It’s dark.” Why hasn’t she turned on the lights at this point?? Did she call 911 in the dark? Were there any lights on when the police arrived?
21. The dispatcher continues, “Did you see anything?” Linda says, “No, just like, I don’t know. I don’t know.” You get the sense Linda doesn’t want to give any details here. It’s like she was going to and then she changed her mind. Why would she be guarded if she is a victim?
22. Linda says, “What about my husband?” As if she has no responsibility to reach out to him… She heard him gurgling. She couldn’t have been that far away.
23. You hear Linda in the 911 call call out to Jeff. “Jeff?….Jeff?” Why is she calling out to him instead of trying to get to him to help him in any way she can? It takes her almost 3 minutes into the call for her to go to him. We finally here her say, “Oh m god, are you alright?” I think most people would realize when someone is gurgling, they are not alright.
