I said, should we breathe in?

SPEAKER_2 (0:01)

I said, absolutely not. Why has he done that?

Annie Elise (0:04)

Is he killing me?

I'm really sick. There's nothing else we can do for him. My friend is full of blood.

SPEAKER_2 (0:13)

I don't know what you want me to do anymore.

There's nothing else we can do for him. He's dead. I'm going to ask you, are you responsible for the stabbing and murder of Paul Scott?

Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialously.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all-new episode. Now, at first, I wasn't going to cover today's case, but because I was kind of like, okay, do I want to talk about it? Do I want to share it? But the more that I learned about it, the more I felt like this is pretty unhinged. I feel like I have to talk about it because it has to do with a mother and children killing together and I don't know, just like filming things and just so diabolical in every single way.

But there's not enough information out there that I was like, there's no way I can make this a full bore episode. But you know what I can do? I could definitely make it a bonus episode. So here we are. Hello, we are going to do a bonus episode today because I do have to talk to you about this case. I also have to apologize because it's probably going to mess you up. Mentally, it did for me. It took me days after researching it to recalibrate and recover myself, especially as a parent.

But I think that it is one worth sharing. So, it takes us back to pretty recently, 2025, not very long ago. And on the night of June 21st, 2025, a phone call came in to 999, which that's the UK's version of 911

So the caller was saying that a man had been stabbed. And this phone call came in right around 3 in the morning, so like middle of the night, early morning hours. And the caller sounded like a young woman. However, she wasn't able to give very much helpful information. She told the operator that her name was Emily, that she didn't know the address where this man had been stabbed, but that he had been. In fact, she said she didn't even know how to give them directions to the house. The only information that she was able to give 999 was, quote, we just walked into the house and he's dead. He's on the floor, blood all over. Now, as I'm sure most of you are familiar, the 999 operator can technically pull your address. The only issue, it's not instant. There are multiple steps involved, starting with seeing what cell tower your phone is calling from, where it's pinging from, then using GPS to get exact coordinates. The operator was on top of it, hoping to get a better idea of where this call was coming from, but it was going to take a few minutes. It was going to take some time.

Around two and a half minutes into this phone call, Emily then finally gave the operator an address, 21 Paradot Close. So the first responders were now well on their way. But in the meantime, the operator was instructing this caller, Emily, on things that she could do to potentially help while she was waiting for first responders to arrive. So the operator asked Emily if she could attempt CPR. Emily said she didn't know how, which is understandable. Nobody calling 999 is expected to know exactly what to do in a situation like this. That's why the operator is there, to walk you through it, and not everybody knows how to just do CPR. But when the operator started to give Emily instructions, she said no, she wasn't going to do it, because she was going to get sick if she tried, saying, no, no, no, no, I can't do this. It's going to make me sick. I can't do it. Like find someone else. Like it's not me. Now I'm guessing that the reason she was saying that is from the blood, which I get that as well. Like I understand that if somebody has a lot of blood, like it might make you sick. You don't think you can have the will to be strong enough to overcome that. I understand it. But that wasn't all that Emily said.

At one point, she told the operator, quote, listen, he's dead. There's nothing else we can do.

Which that feels pretty cold hearted, doesn't it? Now, as jarring as that was to hear, the operators are all trained for these kinds of situations. Right? Sometimes people are in denial. Maybe they're in a state of shock thinking that the outcome is going to be one way or another, which that was why it was so incredibly important that at least Emily tried to do CPR. But Emily just kept saying things like, he's dead. He's not breathing. Is she breathing?
