EMERGENCY CALL – 29.10.13 at 10 hours 17 minutes 6 seconds
Operator: Ambulance emergency. Hello, caller, what’s the emergency?
Caller: I’ve found a boy.
Operator: OK, where have you found him?
Caller: I’m in the woods, Leigh Woods, just over the Suspension Bridge. My dog found him. He’s
lying on the ground. He’s covered in a bin bag.
Operator: Can he talk to you?
Caller: He’s all curled up. He won’t wake up.
Operator: So he’s not conscious then.
Caller: No, he’s not conscious.
Operator: Is he breathing?
Caller: I don’t know.
Operator: OK, do you think you can check for me? If he’s breathing?
Caller: He’s curled in on himself, I can’t see his face properly. Hang on.
Operator: How old is the boy?
Caller: I don’t know, maybe seven or eight. He’s quite little. He’s so white, he’s really white. Oh God
you’ve got to send somebody quick.
Operator: They’re already on their way. It doesn’t delay them for me to ask you some questions, so
don’t worry about that. I need you to have a look and see if he’s breathing or not, OK?
Caller: He’s freezing cold to touch. And he’s in a state. Oh God. Oh my God. He’s not even wearing
anything except underwear. Jesus, oh my God…
Operator: All right, you’re doing really well and help is on its way, they won’t be long now. Can you
tell me whereabouts in the woods you are?
Caller: I’m off the main path. By a swing. Help, quickly, help.
Operator: The whole time we’re talking, they’re on their way to you, so don’t worry about that. Have
you managed to check if he’s breathing?
Caller: Oh God, it’s him, isn’t it? I think it’s Ben Finch, it’s the missing… [the phone goes dead]
Operator: [Calls back but gets voicemail.]
