She put a couch against her door, she can't open it, but made a little crack between the door and the wall here.

We were able to see the shoes inside, but the brother wants to make sure that she's doing okay, but he's not sure if she was eaten.
00:16
And he said that she has a history of mental illness.
00:21
She's got schizophrenia. Do you have any female officers working?
00:23
Anyplace this is boring.
00:24
The black male with the brown hoodie and pajama pants are going to have no shoes on.
00:28
Copy that. Check with CRT, it's something that he may have to get a probate for.
00:32
They're going to have to pink slip or something.
00:33
So we'll see where it goes.
00:34
Okay.
00:35
Stand back. I'll have to see who is female and who isn't.
00:37
In CRT3, Barney, radio, you can say that to me.
00:40
I can start heading that way. Copy 1417.
00:41
And boarding 12, I'm going to have to rewax you to this code 1.

Again, that's 176 south at the Harvard Geneson entrance.
00:51
And born in 16 to CRT car, she's completely unresponsive to our verbal commands out here.
01:04
Check for Silver Land Rover.
01:05
It's broken down, partially pulled off to the shoulder.
01:08
There's no one in with the hazards on.

Cat is 1-209, 6121.

Morning 16 for the other cars, we're flagged down on West Boulevard near Almira.
01:16
Okay, I'll give her a break for now, and then we'll talk about it when I get up there.
01:22
It's going to be a little bit. I said that he saw the male jumping faces.
01:27
Rob. Okay, cap.
01:29
Thank you. They're most likely in the general area still.
01:32
The problem.
01:33
1418, thank you.
01:34
We see our G3 buying that car.
01:36
Have we identified her yet?
01:37
(name withheld)? Yeah, we saw her through the little crack between the door and the wall here.
01:42
It's hard to push the door against that car so she's sitting on against it.
01:48
But brothers here with us and these gentlemen, this is where she lives.
