Susan Avalon: Double Murder, Silent 911 Calls

0:00It's April 15th. Welcome to Tampa Bay News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey, with the story. A woman in Florida named Susan Avalon just pleaded not guilty to murdering two X's on the same day back in December. Investigators say she first killed Timothy Fletcher in Tampa on December 17th. Then drilled to Manatee County and took out her ex-husband, David. Scott just hours later. That first incident started with Fletcher making a 911 call that cut off abruptly. Dispatchers call back and a woman claimed it was an accident, so no cop showed up. Tampa police insists they followed protocol, since it didn't sound like an emergency. Fletcher's daughter, Lottie Grace Snow, only learned about that call recently, and she's heartbroken. She had just started rebuilding their relationship and describes him as hardworking and determined. Now she's speaking out of court hearings to be his voice. Snow questions why silent 911 calls don't get checked out, and wonders if quicker response could have saved her dead. Fletcher's body wasn't even found until after the second killing.
