#15, Telephone disconnect.....

Patsy hanging up the phone and the click was clearly heard. The dispatcher was still on----and it sounded like she was typing...same clicking noises you could hear throughout. So....if there were voices after Patsy hung up, then it was on the dispatch end of the tape. If you noticed the phone, it was a wall phone----so you know if it's hung up, which is probably why the click was so clearly heard.

You can't inadvertently not hang it up, without it being obvious, and we wouldn't have heard the click. If the phone had fallen off its cradle, we would have heard it....a thudding on the tape, if the line connection were not broken. So...the call was terminated by Patsy, but the dispatcher was still on the line. That whole story is so crazy, because Patsy did hang the receiver up--you can hear it.

If there was any conversation after, then perpaps it was another call from another person in the room with the dispatcher......or a reused tape.
