Investigators reveal that Michael McKini called Chief Woods before dialing 911, which raises questions about the content of their conversation. Chief Woods instructed Michael to call 911, but the duration of the call prompts speculation about whether he was calming Michael down or providing guidance.

The episode highlights the confusion and panic that can occur in emergency situations, particularly when individuals reach out to friends in law enforcement instead of directly contacting emergency services.

00:00:00
Police found out that before calling 911, Michael McKini made a nearly 8minute call to Randy Woods, the Preston
00:00:10
Chief of Police, >> which like for what possible reason? >> So, Michael doesn't give one to
00:00:17
investigators that we know of, but Chief Woods does. Chief Woods tells state investigators [music] that when Michael
00:00:24
called, he just instructed him to call 911. Call 911. Did that take 8 minutes? >> Right. We have an 8minute call.
00:00:33
>> Yeah. >> Now, maybe Michael was in shock. I mean, no one ever expects to be in a situation
00:00:38
like this. Maybe he panicked. He called law enforcement by dialing his friend's number in law enforcement instead of
00:00:45
911. Like, in his mind, it could have been the same thing. And maybe for 8 minutes, Chief Woods was calming him
00:00:51
down. We don't know. But it would sure be weird if he spent that long calming his friend down. but then basically told
00:00:58
the family to like cool it [music] because she aspirated while then Michael goes on to tell 911 that her throat was
00:01:04
slit. >> And Roy didn't overhear anything. >> He says no. He says that he knew he was
00:01:11
making more than one call, but he suspected that Michael was calling his ex-wife first. I don't know why, but he
00:01:16
says he didn't know it was the chief and like he couldn't hear much from the call.
00:01:20
>> Could Chief Woods have been instructing Michael about what to do? Only two people know what was said in those eight
