"the 911 operator who took that call thought there may have been something at the end of the conversation"

Do 911 operators go to the trouble of digging up old tapes and listening to them? Or replay them upon completion of a call looking for distant noises and/or conversations?

In his book, Steve Thomas led us to believe he had first-hand knowledge of most if not all of the elements of the case. Throughout the depo, however, we see that whenever cornered, the 'facts' were attributed to someone else working the case and his certainty dissipated upon questioning.

Do you really believe Steve Thomas knows/knew any more about the 911 tape than he did about the other (not Patsy's) handwriting submissions?

I view Thomas's statements regarding this 911 tape with a high degree of skepticism. He earned my mistrust fair and square.
