What do you think about that? 1 o'clock. AM or PM? Is it bad reporting, mistaken time, what? Makes no sense if his SON-in-law was able to telephone his inlaws at 1, report his wife seriously hurt, instead of dialing 911? Good grief.

I grew up in Mississippi, and we'd always call relatives before 911 if there were an emergency. Relatives would always arrive waaaay before any emergency vehicles.

Hey :) Afternoon. I've been looking for info about this today and I may be able to clear that one question up a little.

From the Yazoo Herald on 18 Feb 2004

"William Hertz and his wife, Diana, drove from Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Saturday when they heard that their daughter and her family were missing. With tears in his eyes and a quivering voice, he talked of his pain Monday afternoon.

“We found out at about 12:30 or 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon,” Hertz said. “David (Moore), our son-in-law, who is married to our daughter, Elizabeth, called us and said, ‘Mr. Bill, you better come. Something has happened bad. There’s blood outside.”

He said he last spoke to his daughter, Rebecca, on Thursday night on the phone. “She was quite tired. She was off that day and James Patrick wasn’t feeling good and was cranky.”
