911 Mocks Kidnapped Mom Freezing To Death | The Case of Teri Jendusa-Nicolai

“I can't die - I have to save my girls”
At 11:05 AM, on the 31st of January 2004, a 911 operator answers the phone to a woman breathing heavily, but not saying anything. Another call comes through, and this time an address is given, but when the police arrive at the scene, they only find an empty handgun case, sweatpants, and a large red stain on the carpet. With time running out, and just a few clues, the police need to catch who did this, and find Teri Jendusa-Nicolai and her 2 daughters before it’s too late.
Teri Jendusa-Nicolai is an advocate for Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, which passed in 2020, giving equal rights to victims of serious crimes. You can read more about Teri’s work here: www.equalrightsforwi.com/icym...

    I'm a former 911 operator. All the way back in the 90s we were trained to treat every call as though it were a real emergency. This call was handled with rank incompetence and there is no excuse for it. In my workplace, this operator would have been fired with cause and I hope that's what happened here.

    Yeah, I'd wager that person isn't doing that job anymore (not that I'm mad either, it's a hard job, just at some points you're not fit for it anymore). This was pretty egregious EVEN IF it was a prank, let alone the fact that there was a real person desperately seeking help on the other end.

I was told as a crackhead was breaking into my place to either wait three hours for an english speaking officer or to leave my apartment. I speak french fluently. The 911 dispatcher didn't like that I had an anglophone accent. Disgusting.

    it frightens me. if i had to analyze the mindset, the operator was stupid (failed to realize the potential severity of a call), and entitled (does not value anything other their own time and leisure, which is why they felt annoyed by the call). the scary thing is, these 2 qualities are common. a lot of people can be monsters given the right situation. and that means a lot more people are potential victims.

    Imagine being pulled from under the rubble after a bomb dropped on your house. You have lost both legs. Parents? Dead. And 4 days later another bomb ends your life. I can. It happens on a daily basis at the moment. Sure, sure, off topic. But just as horrible, right? Imagine waving a white flag after having been taken hostage. You see your guys approaching so you go out and wave the flag. You go out naked. And you still get shot. And then imagine the mostly American Settlers who are the most violent over there. And so, no, i have no problem at all imagining this. I also recognize it is horrible that i am saying all of this. And i wish i was imagining all of it. But once you have seen things, you can not un-see them. Imagine if all the people.... o wait, we cant have that. Luckily someone shot him before people came together as one. Call me drunk or what ever, but the world is seriously f word up. In todays world certain people openly call for certain crimes to be committed, and they can get away with it. And so, why not have an operator act like this? Not long from now it will be the operator doing the crime while on the phone with the victim, to provide an alibi. Merry Xmas

    I don't even know what part of their job description requires them to think on such a level that requires making this kind of judgment. As everyone that gets into a predicament isn't going to make sense or think clearly. They're in no predicament at all, and they're still messing up. Personally, I find that saying that they're burned out is a poor excuse. As all that they're doing is taking calls and pertinent information needed to dispatch to officers. How does that burn you out?!?!? .......and if it does, more than likely you cannot handle that job. Time to move on to something that you can effortlessly do, while living Life. No one should have to endure pompus know it alls when it comes to what they've gone through or had to endure. Making a call to 911 is made for help, nothing else!!!

The cops can’t help you through a phone, they were telling her exactly what to do and she wouldn’t! She would just scream and cry. Yeah, I get it, she’s scared but if she’s not going to even attempt to save herself knowing the cops can’t get brought and just cry instead and hug up.. This story is overblown and barely anyone ever actually listens to THE FULL audio of that call.

If you think about it, who grew up wanting to be a lawyer? Everyone I know got involved with law because “family tradition” and they justified their choice with all the options they COULD try to help someone with. Lawyers really are just kids that have been told what to do their whole life, and defense lawyers are still being told what to do by their boss of the firm.. they probably still feel shitty about it, while using their entire check to pay off the unnecessary student loans they accrued because you can only be a lawyer if you go to school 🙃 I don’t think they do live with themselves, but I do think they’re just surviving the only way they’ve been taught to know

    Trouble is judges only half listen. Normally in these cases the husband says his wife is hysterical, and trying to use the children against them and alienating the children from him, The judge only sees the dispute as being between the two adults, and probably the woman exaggerating. So paternal rights and what he says will even go above anything children may say as its regarded as though the mother would have ‘schooled them’ or ‘ filled their heads with false information’. So many cases where the husband is in the wrong he will still have joint custody, forcing the ex wife to have to be at his every whim and attending to all school meetings, drs, anything to do with the kids, even though he may have never in their lives done this before.

    The police should ping the phone as soon as someone is reported missing. But they wait. They prioritize privacy and not 'finding' someone who's off screwing around over the safety of someone who's in grave danger. I saw a show where friends knew the victim was in a specific apartment bldg but police waited at least a day until they had other evidence. She died in the meantime. In this show the police didn't ping until after they saw the bloody clothes from breaking into his house. If the operator had reported the call where she gave his name, they could've pinged the phone hours earlier

    In the early 80's I was trapped in my parents burning house and called, begging for help. The operator scolded me for making false complaints as I was screaming hysterically. My neighbor kicked down the door and we both jumped out a bedroom before the house was completely consumed in flames. I didn't get an apology or an acknowledgement that I was indeed trapped in a death trap.

    This happened to my sister. She was married to an abusive State Trooper. He constantly threatened to have her committed, he would hold his service gun to the pets’ heads in front of the kids and threaten to shoot them. He was so violent and intimidating, that after the courts decided he could have visitations and the pick up/drop off point was a township police station, the chief at that township police station called the judge,the one who had made the decision for pick ups and drop offs to be there, to move them to another location because his troopers and staff were afraid of her ex. Whenever they would go to court, the courthouse would go on high alert, and my sister would be escorted to and from her car. Now does it make ANY SENSE to let someone that police officers and FBI agents are afraid of, to have any kind of visitations or communication with children??????

I told them my mom had seizures and she could have fallen. It wasn't until the day after I got home I found out she had been murdered. It took the police about three months to gather all the evidence and about another nine months for the trial. He got life. Six years later the State Supreme Court over turned the sentence. Saying the evidence didn't support a life sentence. To this day I can't understand how the legal system down plays Domestic Violence.

    I am so sorry you have suffered such trauma. And not having any sense of justice makes it all that much worse. You shouldn’t have to be going through that. M-rderers shouldn’t get out of jail when they *should* be in there for life. Our culture is still one of patriarchy, where women and children ‘belong to’ men. I can’t tell you how many times I was asked what I did that got him so angry. I would burst into tears when someone actually comforted me rather than blamed me for what he did. It’s been over 30 years since I fled with my children, yet I’m still paying a hefty price for the damage HE caused. I tried to “be okay” for years, but just wound up getting physically sick. I was even bedridden for a period of over five years at one point. The damage was so severe to my nervous system that it broke down for a time. Now I do regular trauma therapy in order for my mind and my body to begin healing. And I’m *still* sometimes blamed somehow by people who don’t get it. Misogyny 101: Always blame the women because it has to be their fault. The legal system is no different. That’s why the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is so important. It has to be legislated and literally put into law in order for anything (including minds) to start to change. Unfortunately, it has to be passed again and again because of politics. That’s a ridiculous set of circumstances, again due to patriarchy-which affects ALL of society. It’s toxic all the way around. In case you’re wondering, I have been happily (and safely) married to a wonderful man for over two decades. We are still going strong. I have no axe to grind against men, in general, but I find toxic masculinity ugly, and I worry the women who support it might have some safety issues they deal with on their own. It’s a nasty business because it makes all of us unsafe.

    They need to change the entire script how they train dispatchers, what I've observed from 911 calls the dispatchers talk to much when someone is in danger they should get only crucial information 'whats wrong, location, names than allow the victim to stay on the phone quietly' Dispatchers should be kind, compassionate encourage them to stay awake and focus on happy memories'. That would be professional dispatcher training!

Criminals really do get treated with kid gloves while victims are browbeaten into just accepting their lot so the police officer doesn't have to actually do his job by filing paperwork.

    @@MasterTheGameWithLeAnnB It does because some some "life" sentences come with the possibility of parole after a certain amount of years. But if you're sentenced for multiple crimes, the judge can determine if you can serve those terms concurrently or sequentially. The longest prison sentence in U.S. history was awarded to Charles Scott Robinson: six 5,000 year sentences, each for one charge of child sexual abuse, for a grand total of 30,000 years. Of course, just one of those would be impossible, but sometimes you have sentences with, how do I put this... livable numbers, but there are so many that you end up with totals in the hundreds. Nikolas Cruz, for instance, was awarded 34 life sentences, 17 without parole (for the 17 deaths) and 17 with parole (for the 17 injured). If he hadn't killed anybody, and he was able to serve his terms concurrently, then conceivably, he might have been granted parole after some number of decades. However, with the parole came a minimum prison term of 380 years, so even if that had been the case, he would never live to see the outside of a prison again. Not to mention that in some states, you could be given the death penalty for murder, and by attempting to murder her, he did kill her unborn child. The legal issue would be whether or not he "murdered" her child since murder usually requires proving intent, but you can't really intend to murder someone... if you don't know that they exist, which he presumably didn't because she herself had just found out the night before and probably had no intention to tell him. However, since obviously murdering the pregnant mother would result in the death of the unborn child, and he DID obviously intend to kill her... the defense would probably have to come up with some argument that knowing she was pregnant would have changed his mind. It's unlikely anyone would have believed that, but it might bring a charge down to, like, manslaughter.

    the fact that the court overlooked her trauma time after time, eventually leading to this violence taking place in her life... it really shows they never considered her safety in any ruling they did.

    @@azaleablue2261Interesting view, but I could easily argue a conservative judge tends to favor the man and ignore women because they assume they are just emotional. I think it’s weird that they put the mother through an investigation regarding any prior miscarriages.

    ​@@azaleablue2261it was in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is Republican lead almost everything. They do not favor the truth or women and will railroad common sense everything and are extremely incompetent, like that dispatcher and courts and are perfectly fine keeping innocent people incarcerated even with enough evidence to prove they didn't commit the crime(s) they were convicted of. It's a horrible state and absolutely abhorrent politics so liberal is not them.

    What wasn't mentioned was that the 911 call was actually the second call she made. In the first 911 call she made, she was able to give the operator the address but passed out shortly after and then made that second call which was routed to a different dispatch center .

    Teri is amazing! My mom knows her personally and we all attended the same church when I was growing up. David was always celebrated and had a lot of power in the community, which sickens me. I'm so inspired by Teri, a domestic violence survivor that spreads awareness and makes changes after everything she endured. She even messaged me personally after I survived a domestic violent relationship a few years ago. We are survivors, please take these early warning signs seriously, nobody deserves being thrown away like garbage!!!

    This is why people who made their life public like Amber. Heard who are abusive people, Make a mockery of real abuse. A coked out sociopath With far more mental illnesses to list. Abused a man but were taught not to believe that. Listen to people that take the person serious, Unless they're known for being the abuser in other relationships. She really messed things up for men who've been abused.😢

    I was impressed with Nick as well, was thoughtful about preserving battery on her phone, hung up and called the police himself to report her missing and make sure the police response was elevated. He seemed very measured and thoughtful, which would be extremely difficult. And the way she had the forethought to remain silent to protect her girls is remarkable. They both seem awesome

    I’m normally one to defend 911 operators who come off as curt, because they’re trying to get as much info as possible, while trying to calm the caller down. This one was just egregious, though. I don’t care how many prank calls you’ve received. That was beyond unacceptable.
