What Happened To A Victim Of Domestic Violence Who Called 911 And Ordered A Pizza To Fool Her Abuser
Last week, an AskReddit thread that had been posted five months ago about an incident that occurred ten years back suddenly got attention, according to Buzzfeed. Operators of 911 were asked: "what is that one call that you could never forget?" The Reddit user Keith Weisinger narrated an interesting story of his personal experience.
One night, he got a late-night call when he was working in a graveyard shift starting from 6 p.m. and ending at 6 a.m. Initially, he thought that he had got a prank call, but soon, it turned out to be a woman in great distress, according to E! Online.
Keith Weisinger narrated the entire call. When he asked her where her emergency call was coming from, she gave the address and said, "I'd like to order a pizza for delivery." Keith just thought that it was a joke, and told her that he was on 911. She said that she knew it, but ordered "a large with half pepperoni, half mushroom and peppers." Repeating her order made him suspect that something was wrong, and he asked her if she had an emergency. When she said that she did, he realized that she couldn't talk because someone was in the room with her. She affirmed it, and then asked how long he would take to come.
He said that he had an officer located a mile from her house, and confirmed that there were no weapons in her house. She said she could not stay on the phone with him, and called off. Later, when he checked the address, Weisinger discovered that there had been lots of calls about domestic differences from her location. The officer was dispatched to her house, and found her body "kind of banged up" while her abusive boyfriend was drunk, according to Tech Times. She explained that it was a habit that her boyfriend had, so she had to report him without his realizing it.
What followed the call and the visit is not known to anybody, but Weisinger says that he would always remember the "courageous" and "clever" manner in which she made the call. Weisinger was a 911 operator for a county of 200,000, and got one or two domestic disturbance calls every night. However, it is frustrating for 911 operators to never know what happened later, he said. Yet it was the most memorable call. Using his intuition and experience made him understand that most calls from distressed women were about domestic violence, according to Bustle.
