In today's episode, I'm going to review those dispatch logs again. She mentioned them, but I don't know if they were done because she got called out.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Dispatch logs? I've got to go through them, but I'm having to work the radio tonight. Dispatch logs. I have them. I have them ready. But the thing is, you're going to have to have a certain size paper to be able to receive these. Those dispatch logs. The most important part about these logs is anything pertaining to Sean Fletcher. Because according to Marcus Harper, they both rode around in the cop car on the night of Terrace's disappearance. Today I'm going to break down these dispatch logs in detail and go over every call that night.
Starting point is 00:01:38 This is Case Evidence. Each entry in these dispatch logs has a time and a radio signal TIN code. These TIN codes are what the officers use to communicate. You're probably familiar with T-4, which means understood. A lot of these codes are universal, but sometimes they can vary with different precincts. Each code has a different meaning, and there can be a lot of them. So just to be safe, I spoke to an actual Osceola police officer, who deciphered each code in the log for me. He wished not to be named.
Starting point is 00:02:21 There were two Osceola police officers on duty that night, Sean Fletcher and Shane Kisling. On the logs, they were referred to by their badge numbers. Sean Fletcher is 016 and Shane Kisling is 06. Both officers worked an overnight shift. They started at 8 p.m. and got off at 6 a.m. The first call for Sean Fletcher that night is at 1118 p.m., radio signal 1055, which meant that there was a broken down vehicle. Both officers responded to this call, and by 1130 p.m.,
Starting point is 00:02:52 they were done. The next call for Sean Fletcher was at 1146 p.m., radio signal 1059, which means standby for business closing. This was at a grocery store called Harvey's in Osceola. Again, both Officer Fletcher and Kistling were here, and they left by 11.54 p.m. The next call for Fletcher was at 12.16 a.m., radio signal 10.38, which meant a traffic stop. It lasted just a few minutes, and he left by 12.23 a.m. From this point forward, Sean Fletcher's whereabouts become extremely important, because according to Marcus, he left the Whitehorse Saloon shortly after 1 a.m. From this point forward, Sean Fletcher's whereabouts become extremely important, because according to Marcus, he left the Whitehorse Saloon shortly after 1 a.m. to go meet up with Sean Fletcher. Fletcher's next call on the dispatch logs was almost an hour and a half later, at 1.46 a.m., saying that he's downtown. Radio signal 1084. According to
Starting point is 00:03:41 the Osceola officer I spoke to, this means special detail, like checking buildings or taking a break to eat dinner. For this call, there is no departure time listed. I called Maurice to chime in about Marcus Harper's alibi. 149 a.m. Fletcher was checking doors in downtown Osceola when he received a call from dispatcher telling him that Harper was looking for him. And they joined up. telling him that Harper was looking for him. And they joined up. Really, there should be a dispatch call to Fletcher around 1.49 to come to the station that Harper was searching for him.
Starting point is 00:04:12 In Marcus Harper's alibi, he never called Sean Fletcher directly. He called the police station. Then the dispatcher called Sean Fletcher and told him Marcus was looking for him. But that whole thing didn't exist in these logs. At least not like that. There's only one call around that time, and it's from Fletcher to the dispatcher at 1.46 a.m., stating that he's downtown. The problem is it's not from the dispatcher, it's from Fletcher. Either way, giving it the benefit of the doubt, let's assume that this call is the one where he learns Marcus Harper's looking for him. If the call was at 1.46 a.m.,
Starting point is 00:04:48 that means that the first time they would have met up would be around five to ten minutes later, around 2 a.m. I mean, if he left the bar at one o'clock, he would be in the cell at ten past one. I would say that Harper was probably back in, I mean, supposedly he was back in the cell at, say, 1.15 at the most. So between 1.15 and, say, say two o'clock you don't know where harper is where was harper i mean that's that's almost 50 minutes i mean this was early in the morning so it wasn't where was he there's no record of harper of harper even being in any of these calls i mean i don't care if you former cop or whatever. It should have been on record that you had a civilian with you for liability. Even if you believe their timeline with him with it, there's a 50 minutes to an hour that is not accounted for. So, I mean, you could do a lot in an hour. Fletcher supposedly doesn't know where he's at because he hasn't called
Starting point is 00:05:40 yet. And if he left a club earlier than one, say he left a club, say 20 minutes to one, you got an hour, hour 15, hour and 20 minutes there. Either way you slice it, there's a pretty big time gap there. Let's take a look at the Benny Merritt incidents. These are the calls that Sean Fletcher supposedly responded to while Marcus Harper was with him. There's two calls for Benny Merritt on these dispatch logs. The first was at 2.08 a.m., and the second was at 2.49 a.m. But now, the one at 111 South Apricot Street, that did not involve Fletcher. Fletcher was not involved in that call.
Starting point is 00:06:18 On the first call for Benny Merritt at 2.08 a.m., Sean Fletcher wasn't there. The only officer that responded was Shane Kisling. At 2.49 a.m., the next Benny Merritt call, Sean Fletcher was there, and so was Shane Kisling. This means the first time anyone could have seen Sean Fletcher and Marcus Harper together was 2.49, almost two hours after he left the Whitehorse Saloon. I'm going to tell you, if it wasn't for the Fletcher stuff, I'm talking about being with Fletcher and all that kind of thing, he would be in serious trouble. I've posted these dispatch

He actually walked her down the steps at 11 o'clock that night because they were watching the Georgia game over at his house.
Starting point is 00:07:34 He walked her down the steps at 11 o'clock and nobody's seen her since. There's a lot of weird, weird, weird stuff. Really scary scary scary stuff
