Call Two - Disconnected - Ended at: 10:49 PM
Paramedics Matthew Vasquez and Serena Victor arrived at the scene at approximately 10:52 PM, they ended up at the actual apartment itself at around 10:56, after getting confused with directions given by the doorman at the front of the building. Once arriving at the door, the paramedics knocked multiple times on the door, to no one answering. Paramedics Vasquez and Victor, aswell as 911 operator Janelle Sinclaire later ruled the call to be a fake call, a hoax. As Vasquez and Victor left the premises, they found a man fallen on the floor in-between the doorway of a supply closet, naked, besides his boxers, socks, and shoes. The man was later identified as Allen Fayette, the apartment buildings head custodian and repair man. After waking up mid-ambulance ride, he reports that he must’ve fallen and hit his head but was unsure of why his keys to the building, work clothes, and toolbox were missing. The next day, Allen Fayette’s drug results came back at Josephine Hospital, remnants of chloroform were found still inside his system.
Mid-recording session, a famous true-crime podcast host calls Branchview 911, reporting a third “seriously persistent” cyber-stalker at her building, the Argent Apartment Complex.
