Re: the 911 call, someone posted a link a while back to the original call, which I listened to, in which Brenda made the ludicrous comments about Danielle being 6 feet tall, short brown hair, "she had green eyes."

Now, go back and listen to the sanitized and heavily edited 911 call played for the jury in June (transcript available here). It sounds quite different without all the inane babbling. She still appears to be quite calm, except for the interjected "oh my god" a few times. And the timing is weird, too. I most likely would have spent some time searching the house, the yards, the park at the end of our street, scouring the neighborhood and calling friends' homes first, instead of walking downstairs from the child's bedroom straight to the telephone. But that's just me, I guess.

If anyone can provide that original link, I'd like to do a side-by-side comparison with the actual 911 tape and the different version played for the jury in the courtroom.

No, it's most of us, shezza. Their response was abnormal.

That is suspicious in itself. Not only did they immediately get it reported before even touching the neighborhood, but they did what someone here called "premature disclosure".

If you notice, Brenda made sure to give all the details, including times, to lay out the "story" from the night before. Is that normal for a panic-stricken mother?

Isn't it far more likely that the person would be near hysteria instead of giving details that were not even sought?

It stunk from those first moments and it's been downhill ever since.

God rest her soul. May the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth come forth and may the lies and deceit be exposed for all the world to see.

The 911 call is not edited at all. The first transcripts were not transcribed correctly which led to problems with perceptions of what was on the tape.

I think she says Danielle's hair is blond but the dispatcher repeats it back as brown. The six feet thing was transcribed originally probably because she says "60" when saying about how much Danielle weighed.

Shezza, the original link is dead, you only hear the sanitized version. The original transcripts also disappeared, except from copies people like me saved. The original recording had Brenda referring to her daughter in past-tense, and describing her in bizarre terms. The cleaned up version has "fixed" all of that. Now can someone tell me why?
