911 Operator Listens To Intuition, Saves Alleged Rape Victim

Diane Waldroop said there was just something about the man's voice.

"It was just the way he was answering me -- [it] made me feel like it wasn't genuine."

That's what Waldroop, an operator at the Island County 911 Dispatch Center in Coupeville, Washington, remembers about the emergency phone call she returned last Saturday, according to Q13 FOX News.

Waldroop only heard dead air when the call was received, which she said is fairly common. But upon following protocol and dialing the number to make sure there was no emergency, a male's voice answered, claiming 9-1-1 had been dialed accidentally by his 5-year-old daughter. In the background, a female is heard yelling before the man abruptly hangs up the line.

her off, to say nothing of the rapid hang-up.

The cretin, if you stripped out the woman screaming, sounded halfway convincing and relaxe , in an "Okey-Dokey I'm a Sociopath" kind of way.
