There are stories that should shake a town to its core. This one barely made a ripple.
Original Post With 911 Recording
On March 1, 2023, a baby was found dead in an abandoned home in Falmouth, Kentucky. You might remember a post about it. Maybe someone mentioned it in a comment thread. But here’s the problem, you heard more about it on Facebook than you did from anyone in charge.
That ends now.
We’ve obtained the first 12 minutes and 41 seconds of the 911 call tied to that tragedy and we’re releasing it with this article. Let’s be blunt: this was a call that may have been that baby’s only chance. And what happened on the other end? It wasn’t action. It wasn’t urgency. It was hesitation. And it might have cost a life. The caller, a woman who clearly sounded trained in medicine, told dispatch there may be a newborn in danger. Alive. Possibly savable. She didn’t scream or ramble. She laid it out clean, this could be an emergency. The kind that needs sirens.
What followed was a slow, disjointed back-and-forth that lacked any sense of the moment. In our opinion, dispatch dropped the ball. They missed the urgency. They delayed the process. And they never treated the situation like someone’s life hung in the balance.
Let’s make this clear for the people in the back:
If someone believes a baby might be alive and in danger, Kentucky law allows police to act. They don’t need a judge. They don’t need a key. They need probable cause and a shred of humanity. Now here’s the part that really twists the knife. The person on that call? The dispatcher? She’s not just anyone. She is the Falmouth City Police Office Manager. And she also happens to co-own the Falmouth Outlook, the town’s local paper, the same one with a biased Outlook and a decaying membership.
So we’ve got someone sitting at the nexus of emergency response and local media control and when this story broke, it barely cracked the surface. We’re not saying there’s a conspiracy.
But we are saying this:
A baby died, and people who were supposed to act didn’t. People who were supposed to inform didn’t. This is Part 1 of a series. We’re going deeper. We’re naming names. We’re breaking down that call second by second, and we’re laying out the timeline of a tragedy that shouldn’t have happened or at the very least, shouldn’t have been ignored.
You can listen to the call yourself below. Hear what we heard.
Then ask yourself one question:
Why didn’t anyone besides the nurse, act like this baby mattered? This is one of the most requested whisper stories, this one will only get louder as we move towards what this town should embrace at all times. Accountability.
