Mom showing me a picture that he sent out.
00:03
It looks like he's up on a tower.
00:05
It might be at that parking garage, but appears that he was on a ladder from the photo.
00:13
Yeah, I'm thinking it's probably closer to that the KCCI tower on Crocker and Tenth.
00:21
I'm looking at that picture.
00:23
I'm at the top of this parking garage.
00:25
I think it is going to be that KCCI tower.
00:27
I can go over there and check.
00:30
Copy, thank you.
00:35
The UTL[1] in this parking garage also.
00:38
Copy.
00:43
I probably wouldn't hurt to have somebody with the Fleer.
00:47
I'm over here.
00:49
It would be a little easier to see him if he's up there.
00:53
Copy.
00:58
123, you're going to be tied up for a bit.
01:01
123? 123.
01:08
Go ahead. Go ahead.
01:10
Are you going to be tied up for a bit?
01:14
Yeah.
01:18
Copy.
01:19
The end of the free card, go grab it on.
01:28
124, we're not too far, we'll go grab it.
01:30
Copy, thank you.

You have one of those cars on that welfare check and you call quick.
01:45
Yeah, 140 Adam.
01:47
That's all.
01:53
44 Adam. Go ahead.
01:57
It looks like we got about a 40 or 50 minute delay on this.
02:02
Sounds like he stays at (number withheld) capital.
02:06
But you want to have a car check that address for the truck?
02:11
Yeah.
02:15
Drop me.
02:19
They're telling me that he might park the truck in the alley behind the house as well.
02:27
Heavy.
02:35
Two-three. Go ahead.
02:38
Can I get crow started?
02:41
I'm going to need two, one for a Fort Escape, heavy front-end damage, and then one for a Toyota Highlander with rear damage.
02:51
Okay.
02:58
122. 122.
03:00
I don't far off if I can check that address like capital.

03:33
It's going across the street.
03:34

03:36
She's seeing a male beating a female.

It's got a purse, keys, and phone.
03:45

I can't quite see him, but I can hear someone talking up there.
04:02
Copy.
04:04
44 out of meter act.
04:07
Negative over that.
04:10
There's also a white Ford truck parked here.

It doesn't come back to who it was supposed to, but there is a white Ford truck parked.

5.2, sorry, I just got off the phone.
05:45
I'd like you to expedite the Fleer and I borrowed two Westside cars for a priority downtown.
05:53
That's fine, and I just made contact with traffic officer Howard and he's going to try to grab a drone and come down here as well.
05:59
Perfect, thank you.
06:01
I'm already out of my advice on him now.
06:02
I don't know if we're going to need the drone.
06:05
He's going to be right at the top of the first white part, I don't know, 200 feet up or so.
06:12
I'd say it's now a quarter of the way up the tower.
06:17
