I want to see if she's dressed for the weather and if she's being suicidal, might as well try a phone back too.
00:07
Copy. I think I actually hear her walking in the woods right now.
00:11
My guess is she's not dressed for the weather though.
00:20
On 40 are you north or west of the residence?
00:30
I'm at the residence on the west side.
00:32
I'm at the residence on the west side.
00:37
Wood to the west of the residence.
00:43
Copy.
00:45
You're on me, right in a cold attack there with the thermal to start, or were you on me?
00:50
Yeah, it's right right there in the cold attack for now.
00:54
Different.
00:57
1.30, 116.
01:01
Go ahead.
01:03
I'm grabbing a drone now.
01:04
Are you also going to launch?
01:07
We're too close to the airport.
01:11
Copy.
01:18
One-said, Leonard.
01:21
Go ahead.
01:27
I don't know if they'd be willing to, would...
01:29
Would you give them a letter, like that call,
01:31
and see if they're willing to assist us with this?
01:35
Done for it.
01:37
1.30, 463.
01:51
I'll say that 142 in the airport road, there's no one on that side, so...
01:58
720's got a person on camera between the house and Paddock Drive in the woods.
02:10
Trade east of near Paddock Drive.
02:18
720 moving or stationary?
02:23
Standing still right now, but
02:27
I'm walking in a circle.
02:33
30, do you want to be the 720?
02:44
Sir, I'll turn around.
02:48
463, 720. I've just walked there and I'll just come all with you.
02:52
Cover.
02:54
Units unseen.
02:55
Does the back of the house have blue Christmas lights on it?
03:00
Yeah, I'm going off the deck.
03:03
Copy.
03:04
So the signature is just slightly to the south of that,
03:09
between there and the next row to the west.
03:13
Looks like I can just bed it down.
03:18
I think I can see your lights from the halls.
03:27
720, that would be the direction.
03:29
That 140 was here and rustling in the woods too, so pretty likely that.
03:35
Copy.
03:36
Just in case we want to get a squad of pepperage between paddock and roofside circle.
03:44
I already could do that.
03:49
I want to put you.
03:54
And then I pray one of these people in the back burner.
04:04
I'm here to Thompson.
04:05
She's luckily only dressed in a bathroom.
04:14
116.
04:20
Just advising though that they do not have any infrared, they only have the standard spotlight search, and if they are able to fly, we will not be able to fly drones at the same time.
04:33
Yeah, that's fine.
04:34
I can't fly a drone here with my proximity to the airport anyway, so they will not be utilizing drones.
