So didn't know her name was Betty, didn't know how to contact her after that. Oof. I don't really know why. Maybe because they were thinking it was like a stuporous drunk situation. Maybe like first day on the job type vibes. Very first day on the job.

That was the opposite of a bang-up job. Yeah, not great at all. In fact, it was going to be a full 10 days before investigators were able to track Bersinger down through notices in the papers.

Like, they couldn't find her anywhere. Wow. All they had was that initial call, and then that was it. So they just came up upon it and were like, okay. Jesus. Now, expecting to find someone sleeping off a night of drinking in a lot, the dispatcher sent a single patrol call to investigate the call.

And countless journalists and press photographers had heard the call go out over the police radios that they all kept in their cars. So they all kind of followed just to... See if there was any story there. Yeah. Los Angeles Examiner reporter Will Fowler and his partner Felix Pagel were the first to arrive at the scene before the LAPD had arrived. Oh, shit.

That's never good. They were shocked. Because Fowler said, there's something about a dead body you couldn't mistake. It's difficult to describe two parts of a body as being one.

Now, the patrol officers arrived a few moments later and quickly called the division to let them know, no, it was not a drunk sleeping off a night of drinking in a vacant lot, but a horribly mutilated dead woman. Thank you for fucking that up on the highest level you possibly could.
