One thing that works on this: burner phone
911 can identify that the incoming call is from a burner phone. They need to understand that this could be a hoax immediately.
“One thing that works on this: burner phone”
Ideally. But I watch and read a lot of true crime and it isn’t that hard to find out who bought a burner phone.
The manufacturer knows what devices go to which vendors. The vendor is contacted to start the investigation. If the purchaser is dumb enough to use a credit card, it’s pretty much over.
Buying with cash makes it harder. But with cameras everywhere now people can be identified. Even if in disguise, cameras on the street show cars and license plates. They also can “follow” someone walking from a distance using street cameras.
But no burner phone is necessary if the call is coming from the Eight Floor of the Hoover Building.
