As far as what I think he's saying?
As far as what I think he's saying?
Yeah. That's kind of an unknown. And for the longest time, LaDessa and the family didn't know. So here's the truth. Coke County did respond to that call. They sent a deputy north. It is in their dispatch logs. It's even in the sheriff's wife's articles. Say what you want about those. And I understand that because I don't necessarily agree with everything that was written either.

But they did respond to that call. It just wasn't put out publicly, probably like it should have been. But it is in their dispatch logs, which I do have. They did respond to that call. I even have the name of the deputy that responded.

No, no, no. So the deputy that went north was dispatched because of Brandon's call. The problem was they didn't have enough of a geographic location. All he said was, I'm out here going towards Abilene. That's all the dispatcher could make out. So she interpreted that as he had already gone through Braunt. So that's why the deputy was sent north of Braunt.

The trucker call is what Deputy Neal responded. Gotcha. He knew somebody had called 911, and that's why the other deputy was out. But he did not have the full details as to who called, why they called. All he knew is, okay, another officer got sent north for that. This call's coming in about this truck on the south side of town. I'm going to go check that out.

And by the way, just for you guys and the listening audience, I'm not here to play devil's advocate for Cope County. I'm just giving you guys the truth. I mean, that's all I can do. I mean... I know there's been a lot of heat and stuff on Cope County, and I understand why. But it is my duty, I feel, as somebody who worked on the case, to give the truth to the best of my knowledge.

Well, I mean, and like I said, there's things even I don't agree with and how it was handled.
