Did Anyone Happen to See "Primetime Crime" Last Night?

With the story about the young mother Denise Lee? I am literally still haunted by watching that. I just can't imagine being tied up in the back seat, fighting for your life, being so close to possibly being rescued and then life ending the way it did Chat Icon Watching that really instilled in me "if you see something, say something"

I was just saying to my DH how mad I still am tonight! There was no reason those other people shouldn't have helped.. and there was NO reason that the 911 operator couldn't have had a police officer there immediately to help her Chat Icon Chat Icon They could have saved her and now those poor kids will grow up without their mother.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T RIGHT..... MAKE SURE YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I watched this too and still, 2 days later can't get it out of my head.
The one witness who had his hand on the Send button...The cousin...The dispatcher...ALL pizzed me off.
Seriously! Don't have second thoughts.
Call 911. It's anonymous (I'm sure it could be)..

GET INVOLVED!!
I can't even imagine.
I feel sooo bad for her family and those poor kids.Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Did Anyone Happen to See "Primetime Crime" Last Night?

I watched it and even thinking about it now makes me sick. How does something like that happen? I feel so awful for her family. What I don't understand is why he went after her? How does someone just walk into your house and take you? Also the Sheriff really angered me with not taking the blame for that botched 911 call.

Re: Did Anyone Happen to See "Primetime Crime" Last Night?

So sad...

I found this from MSNBC.com. It's a timeline of events. What really pissses me off is that his cousin GAVE him the tools he used to kill her. She actually got out of the car and he struggled to get her back in and told the cousin "don't worry about it" and the cousin did NOTHING. What a POS.

Dateline NBC
updated 7:02 p.m. ET, Fri., June. 6, 2008
Denise Lee was abducted from her home in North Port, Fla., on Jan. 17, 2008. Between 3:29 and 6:30 p.m., five 911 calls related to her disappearance were placed by five different people – including one by the victim itself.

3:29 p.m.
The first 911 call related to Denise Lee's disappearance that day was place by Nate Lee, who called 911 to report his wife missing. In his call, made after he came home from work, Nate Lee says “My kids were in the house and I don't know where she is.”

There was no sign of theft or forced entry, but Denise's keys were left on the couch as if she left unexpectedly.

6:14 p.m.
The second call made to 911 on the day of Denise Lee's disappearance was from the victim herself. She managed to sneak her abductor's cell phone away from him while he was driving.

After calling 911, she left an open line so emergency operators could hear their conversation.

The call has not been made public, but Denise's father says the first thing heard on the call is her screaming. She managed to drop clues into her conversation with her kidnapper -- such as the model of the car they're riding in and a description of her abductor.

According to police records, the phone call ends after a man asks where his cell phone is and Denise says “I don't know.”

6:23 p.m.
Four hours after a green Camaro was spotted in Denise Lee's driveway, and minutes after Denise herself called 911, a woman made an emergency call to report a disturbing story.

Sabrina Muxlow, the daughter of the suspected kidnapper's cousin, called 911 at 6:23 p.m. She told operators that Michael King had a girl tied up in his car.

“He came over to my dad's house,” she says in the call, and he “borrowed a shovel, a gas tank, and something else.”

Denise Lee tried to escape, Muxlow tells the operator, but “my dad's cousin went and put her back in the car.”

She told 911 operators that her father wanted to remain anonymous.

6:30 p.m.
While driving on US-41, Jane Kowalski made a cell phone call to 911 to report an emergency. “I was at a stoplight and a man pulled up next to me and there was a child screaming in the car,” she says on the call, placed at 6:30 p.m.

With the sun going down, Kowalski identifies the car as a Camaro, but mistakes its color for blue or black, and misidentifies the person screaming in the car as a child. She thought she was witnessing a child abduction.

In chilling descriptions, Kowalski says she could hear “terrifying screaming” and that she's “never heard anything like that.”

After she made eye contact with the driver, she says “a hand came up and started banging on the passenger window.”

She offers to follow the Camaro, but it turned before the operator could respond.

Because the call was made just beyond the Sarasota County line, it was routed to a different 911 call center, in Charlotte County.

6:50 p.m.
The final 911 call related to Denise Lee's disappearance was made by suspect Michael King's cousin, Harold Muxlow, who tried to remain anonymous by using a pay phone.

In the 6:50 p.m. call, Muxlow says he's “not sure exactly what the emergency is,” but that somebody had been taken. “It didn't look like she wanted to be there,” he tells the operator.

Muxlow told police that his cousin borrowed a gas can, a shovel, and a flashlight, saying it was for a lawn mower that had broken down and was stuck in a ditch.

After Michael King grabbed these items from his tool shed, Muxlow said he watched a woman struggle with King for about 30 seconds, at one point getting outside the car and yelling “Call the cops.”

According to Muxlow, King pushed her back in the car, said “Don't worry about it,” and took off.

I heard about this on the radio a couple of days ago. They were talking about the showing airing that evening. I DVR'd it, but haven't had a chance to watch yet.
