It was nine thirty-seven o’clock in the evening when the initial call to 911 was received by Ionia County Central Dispatch. These calls were received by the center that handles dispatching.
According to the individual who called and reported seeing two persons, they were observed standing on the side of the road to the west of the sixty-mile marker. This was received from the person who called.
“It appeared as though there were three of them pleading for assistance,” the individual claimed in a statement that was filed by the individual. However, by the time we were aware of their presence, we had already passed the point where we could easily go back to the beginning of our journey. As a result, this indicated that we had already started our voyage.
When a lady dialed 911, she offered the following description of the situation: “There was a van on the side of the road that appeared to have the back hatch open, and things were scattered all over the place.” None of the lights or other components are involved in any way, shape, or form at any point in time. When I was being completely truthful with you, I saw that it seemed to have a certain kind of humorous aspect to it.
At 9:56 o’clock in the evening, a guy who introduced himself as a driver for Meijer’s answered the phone and made his presence known to the person who was calling. The reason he was there, according to him, was to make his presence known.
