Transcript:
What side cars, medics are responding? 2103 Ingersoll 917. 36, Adam. Go ahead. Hey, if you could look through my past, it would probably be 233 Adam. I was struck out here probably closer at the beginning of the year. We should have a number attached for a daughter. She lives over on McKinley. 36 out, just so you know, no red jeep in the driveway. We can hear him talking in the living room, but the door, front door is locked. We're trying to get him to unlock it. Copy. I found that phone number for that daughter. Do you want me to call it? Yeah, so you could give her a call and just let her know. I think he has, like, Alzheimer's or dementia. Um... You can give her a call, and if she answers and talk with her, you can probably disagree with her. Copy. 36 Adam. Go ahead. Would you mind giving him a call back, too, as he can come along the door? He's talking, but we can't think of what he's saying. He's not coming to the door. Yeah, 236, Adam. We've still got him on the phone. Copy. 36, Adam. Go ahead. I made contact with his daughter, (name withheld). She hung up before I could get an ETA, but she is going to respond down there. Copy, yeah. She was, like, East 9th in McKinley, so she won't be too much long. I appreciate it. You're welcome. M28.
