...I'm right across the street; I don't know what's going on.

(Question #2) The operator picks out the address, himself, 2867 Ohio. Notice the caller said he was right across the

2866 or 2867. It's an old vacant house with a bunch of weeds around it.

(Question #3) The caller repeats both addresses and still the operator doesn't ask which side of the street the

A vacant house...

There's screaming and shit.

What's your address, sir?

My address is 2865.

(Question #4) 2865 Ohio is the house right next door to 2867 Ohio. But you just said you were right across the

street, didn't you sir? The operator doesn't pick it up.

2865 Ohio. All right, we'll have an officer check it out,

All right, sir.

Notice that the operator never asked the caller his name.

The 911 tape was never turned over to the defense. It was never played at the trial. In October of 1970, the FBI

Special Agent in Charge of the Omaha Office sent a memo to J. Edgar Hoover in Washington informing him that

the Omaha Police did not want the 911 tape played at the trial because it would be prejudicial to their case against

Rice and Poindexter. The attached memo shows that the FBI and the police communicated about suppressing

evidence from a trial.

In the early 70's, the Omaha police destroyed the original reel-to-reel recording of the 911 call. Lt. James Ferry said

in a deposition that he destroyed the tape because the trial was "over as far as he was concerned." Mondo and Ed

were in the process of appealing their convictions, so Lt. Ferry actually destroyed evidence in an ongoing case.

Ten years after the trial, a copy of the 911 tape surfaced. Duane Peak testified at the trial that he made the 911

call. People who knew Duane Peak do not think it is his voice on the tape. If the police and the FBI knew that the

911 call was not the voice of Duane Peak, then the FBI memo shows that they were shielding the identity of

someone involved in a policeman's murder.

Why would they do that?
