911 Call
written by Jleezer , September 25, 2009

For one I work as an Emergency Responder ( Firefighter EMT) I was working as a Dispatcher. And for one To much Dead air ( not enough speaking) it is the dispatcher's job to one have a great understanding of whats going on, also to assist in any medical assistance they can give 30 secs not saying anything is excuse my language but fucked up.. That dispatcher at the beginning of the call sounded like he was asleep, in our dispatch center here there is access to internet tv radio and definitely seemed like he dont like his job.... FIRE HIS ASS is what I think

We should be outraged !

Wow. I just listened to the 911 tape and I am stunned. I say this because I just watched the Dateline special on this case and saw that the jury found him guilty. I am stunned because after watching it on TV I assumed that the 911 tape would reveal Ryan was guilty based on the testimony shown on TV by Dateline (smoking gun if you will), however, that was not the case. I say this because there was, in my opinion, nothing that was shown that would convince me that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. What I heard, and frankly I am dumbfounded that anyone else who would hear this would not agree, was a scattered, frightened, helpless man (especially getting NO help from the 911 operator)trying to save his wife's life. He sounded like I think he should. And by the way, on the tape he told the 911 guy that he had already tried to resuscitate Sara (" the best I know how")while she was in the tub. Ryan also said that he had let the water drain, wouldn't anyone do that instinctively? That's the first thing I would do if I found someone face down in the tub after I lifted their head up. So that to me would explain why she wasn't sopping wet.(If it were me and I was in shock, I don't think I could specifically say how much time had passed before the 911 call, could anyone?) If he had let the water out of the tub first and then spent time trying to give CPR before making the 911 call of course the bathroom would not be soaked, right? Is this what happens when a rush to judgment occurs? When the woman you love is found face down lifeless in a tub of water I would expect that the 911 call would sound something just like this. He was trying to save her and had called for help.(By the way, how long and how many pauses were there from the 911 guy? He really is bad at his job.) There were several times in that call where you could literally hear Ryan's pain as he sat helplessly as his wife's life slipped through his hands. I hope that the next jury uses more common sense when deliberating, and I hope they get to hear that tape. Good luck Ryan, my prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss, and also for Sara's family's loss. But sometimes there really isn't someone to blame.
