You're going to do it fast and hard 400 times.
OK, put her on the floor. Correct.
He's in the garage. I want you to stay on the line with me, okay?
911, your emergency. My husband just killed himself. He just what? He killed himself. OK, and he's inside the home? He's in the garage. He shot himself in the head.
It's out in the newspapers that you called Willard, like, I don't know how many times. What is that all about? He said this guy was stalking you. Weeks passed.

OK, go ahead and put your hands behind your back, OK?
I'm going to give you instructions for chest compressions, okay?
What are you trying to do, sir? I can't see what's going on. What are you doing?
I was shocked. Who goes to the office the next morning when your wife died?
I mean, he was very simple before.
November 13th of 2016, this man... killed his wife, and hid it.
This is a murder, not an accident.
Strangulation is a silent killer. You know what's not a silent killer? Falling down multiple stairs. You have to believe she bounced her head, neck, back, shoulders, inside her arms, legs, and feet multiple ways against approximately six stairs like being in a soundproof pinball machine. Then was strangled by her dogs.
911, do you need police or paramedics?
What's the address of the emergency, sir?

They were the loves of her life, her kids and her grandkids. And with almost equal billing, Angela's five huskies. She always was an animal lover.

Since she is not awake and not breathing normally, sir, we need to perform CPR on her. I said we need to perform CPR on her.
Need to apply for indirect pressure to your wounds and her wounds, but we still need to continue the CPR.
They never let us know whether the thing was an attack or not. I couldn't even find out if the stuff was or wasn't. I was told that it wasn't, but I have a tendency not to believe these people.
I suspect that I might have been exposed to anthrax.
You can hear it in his voice this time around, the frustration.
911 emergency.
My breathing is late. My chest feels constricted. Um... I am getting here, but to get up and walk and what have you, it feels like I might just pass out.
