In June 2023, 39 year old Amber Spradlin went out with a friend following a day at work. From there Amber ended up at the home of a local dentist along with a few other guests. 2 911 calls would come in from the house, the first was in regards to someone who was drunk and injured, the next was about a woman who had been murdered. Let’s unpack this story and case and talk about why nobody responded to the first 911 call, which likely would have prevented Amber’s death.
