0:14.0

He asks for the cops and pleads, please hurry, before the line goes dead. Although his brother and police arrive at his truck within

15 minutes, he is nowhere to be found and the negligence of the emergency dispatch leaves room

0:26.5

for misunderstanding and assumptions to prevent finding him and rendering the aid he requested.

0:36.3

confusion, and a lack of due diligence by the

not treated with the severity it deserves by those who are supposed to be seeking justice

But yeah, so let's just get into it. That's how we roll over at Creep It Real. We don't make you sit around for 15 minutes listening to

2:00.6

chit-chat

2:19.0

before we get into the story. So we today are covering Brandon Lawson. I just feel like this is a

2:24.9

less known case and I don't know why because it is so interesting. So if none of you had ever

2:30.6

heard of this before, get ready. Yeah. It's been covered by some other podcasts, but we feel like it deserves as much attention as it can possibly get, kind of like
