911 calls are still coming from cellphone of Katie Couric's late husband
San Francisco Examiner ^ | February 15, 2013 | Katy St. Clair

Someone notify Shirley MacLaine, because Katie Couric’s dead husband appears to be making 911 calls from his old phone.

According to the New York Daily News, every Tuesday at 2 a.m. the late Jay Monahan’s phone line dials 911, then Couric gets an emergency call back saying help is on the way. She has notified the police and they are looking into it.

Apparently there is a prank called “spoofing,” where someone uses a device to hack into a phone remotely. Or, Monahan’s disembodied spirit is trying to order a pizza, but is too drunk to hit the right speed-dial button. It’s gotta be one or the other.

Dear Katie,

Take the battery out of the phone.

Sincerely yours,

It is probably Katie Couric doing it her self. Think about it. Who else is more likely to have access to her late husband’s cell phone? Who pays the bills for the service?

That is just sad.
Yet, where is the phone and why hasn’t been disconnected.

I was in Charlottesville, VA today at the Emily Couric cancer center on a business call.

Thought of Katie loosing her Sister and Husband from cancer.

Shut it off discontinue the land line! How much more public taxpayer money is this idiot going to waste as one story says the police show up to confirm everything is ok! This is a publicity stunt nothing more as she said she even talked to the Chief of Police about it! The Girl is looney as hell!

I remember a similar Twilight Zone episode. Of course, it involved a land line not a cell phone.

How is it that a phone that old and the number associated with it is still active? You would think the number had been reassigned to other accounts twice over by now.

“Spoofing” is dialing from one phone and making it look like it’s coming from another phone by faking the Caller ID number. That phone doesn’t even have to exist any more.

Maybe Katie gets all liquored up and is making the calls; it gets her attention and as a washed up has been, she probably craves that.

Just for the record you can call 911 without having paid for service. All you need is a functional cell phone.

This is an old Twilight Zone episode. It turns out that Couric murdered her husband and now his ghost is seeking revenge.

I loathe Katie, but that’s a pretty mean prank, if true.

Most likely, her ratings on her new talk show are tanking, LOL!
