On August 23rd, 1985, a 911 call was made with a tip in the Kristin O’Connell case. Was this a true attempt to help identify Kristin’s killer, or a ruse to mis-lead and mis-direct police?
The first video clip on the right is the 911 call from August 23rd, 1985.
The second clip is news coverage and an interview by CNY Central News with Doug Zammett and Mike Swank from 2014. Zammett’s stepsister claimed to have seen the two along with a third man, Rodney Smith covered in blood on the night of Kristin’s murder.
Does the voice on the 911 call sound similar to either man? Let us know what you think.
