What Happened During Those 15 Minutes? #crimejunkies #truecrimeshorts #podcast #crimejunkies | Forensic Files

There are two 911 calls in this case. The first one only lasts seconds. The second comes 15 minutes later and
prosecutors believe those 15 minutes were crucial to the entire case. At 7:47 a.m. someone calls 911, but all the
dispatcher hears is a groan then the call disconnects. But 15 minutes later a second call comes
in from the same number and this time the caller starts talking and she's frantic. She says that a woman has been
stabbed and tries to share the location before a man takes over the call and says that there's also someone there
who's been shot. Essentially, this is a chaotic and bloody scene, but that 15 minutes,
why was that 15 minutes there in between the two calls? Prosecutors say those 15
minutes weren't confusion. They weren't panic. It was the time that the true killers
needed to stage the scene. This may be one of the most diabolical cases we have ever covered. For a full look into the
murders of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan, watch Crime Junkie on YouTube.
