We're trying to do a callback for the caller. We're not able to make contact, which sounds like a zebra. We're checking for the caller in Unit 101 near North Leavitt.

All right, confident. Thank you.

You're welcome.

1920 for an update.

We're speaking with the call right now. We talked to the caller's son.
05:22
They're saying she does have dementia.
05:24
So it's looking like this might be a code.
05:30
Then for speaking with the son,
05:32
callers possibly have dementia,
05:35
probably a zebra call per 1920.
