What Details Does this 911 Call Reveal About Amber's Murder?? #truecrime #crimejunkie | Forensic Files

And it all started with a 911 call from the home that Amber would be found in. That home is in the town of Martin,
Kentucky, and it [music] belonged to then 55-year-old Dr. Michael McKenna II. The doctor is the one who placed the
call. And I'm going to read the transcript of it. That was included in a court filing. Now, the public hasn't
heard this call yet. I haven't heard this call yet. So, I'm just going to read it pretty flat because I don't know
what the tone was. But, I'm going to have you read for the 911 [music] dispatcher and I'll read for Michael.
911. Where is your emergency? >> Yes. So, my name is Michael McKini. I'm at Arkansas Road.
>> Yes. >> I had some people come back to my house last night and there's a girl on my
couch that's dead. >> Arkansas Creek. >> Yes. So, I need some assistance. >> All right. I'll get everybody out there.
>> That's my cell. Yes. >> Do you know who the female is? >> Roy, what's her name? What's her name? I
know it's Amber, but what's >> And then uh Roy jumps in here. Amber Sprdlin. >> Amber Sprdlin.
>> Is it obvious or was it You think it's drugs or >> Dude, it looks like somebody's come into
the house and murdered her. Her throat slit. There's blood everywhere. >> Okay. About how old is she?
>> How old is she? 32 33. >> All right. I'll get everybody out there. Thank you.
>> You're welcome. >> Thoughts? Well, I mean, it sounds like he doesn't even know her. Like, he can't give her
last name. Doesn't really know how old she is. Also, the phrase, "There's a dead girl on my couch." Like, what a
cold way to refer to anyone, but to refer to this person in your home. >> Yeah. And listen, theoretically, he
should know her because the restaurant that Amber was a hostess at is it's called [music] Brick House, and Dr.
Michael McKenna owns it. Oh.
