Important to me...Thanks for reading.

I apologize if anyone recieveing the following message is not interested. I thought it was important to share. Maria is my sister in law and Olidia is her sister. This has devastated this family, I encourage you all to watch 20/20 and do what you can to keep yourselves safe in this day and age. I also ask, if you are a praying family, to keep my SIL and her family in your prayers for healing from this terrible suffering. It's never ending for them and I feel hopeless to do anything more than pray.

Feel free to copy and paste in an email and send to anyone you feel may be interested. I feel very strongly about this and again, apologize that I've invaded the board with something that is so serious but I want all of my friends to be more aware of what can happen and has happened so close to MY home.

Thanks,
Shae

Please forward to your friends and family.

Good Morning everyone, as you know my sister Olidia Kerr Day was brutally murdered April 25, 2008; in front of the Plantation Police Department where she went for help after a man took her out of her house at gun point. My sister Olidia pleaded and begged with the 911 operator for over 3 minutes asking for someone to help her and intercept her and letting them know that she was on her way to the police station. Olidia never got that help. The 911 operator never dispatched the call that would have alerted the police at the Plantation police department instead the operator asked her frivolous that wasted precious time.

We are taught from a very young age to dial 911 for help and then as we get older we are taught that every second counts in saving a life, if that is so, then Olidia did everything she could to save herself and no one was listening to her we feel she was let down.

As a result of my sister Olidias murder ABC 20/20 has decided to do a show about her and the lack of training for 911 operators across the country. This 20/20 episode will air Friday September 19, 2008. ABC 20/20 will have the details of her murder and investigation or lack thereof; they have also reenacted the murder using my sister's actual car. I am asking that you please forward this email to everyone you know so they too can see it. The purpose for the interview is to bring awareness; we don't want this to happen to any other family. This man not only killed my sister, he has brought havoc to our whole family, my mother has had 2 heart surgeries since my sister Olidia was murdered. It is unbearable to hear her cry and to see my family in such pain. My sisters are all dealing with either physical or emotional problems and Olidias children will never be the same, as much as we try to be there for them, they have brutally lost their mother and feel a great sense of loss.

If knowledge is Power, then this 20/20 episode will help to bring awareness so that the way 911 operators are trained can change. Their needs to be different protocol for a call about a burglary, or a call where a woman is telling you she was taken out of her house at gun point and the man following her is shooting at her.

Because this happened at the police station there was video of Olidias murder and we saw my sister being killed, I saw her fall, I heard her cries for help not being answered, I heard her scream as she fell to the floor, and I know this can happen to anyone but I never want anyone else to live through such a senseless loss. Please help me in spreading the word so that no one else should ever have to suffer like this wondering what if.

20/20 chose to show case Olidias murder because this scene has played out across the country over and over again. We must all work to ensure change in the way 911 operators are trained and how they respond to calls. If a police officer would have been outside waiting for her it may or may not have saved her life but we will never get a chance to find out. Please help us spread this information so that no one else has to live with this horrific pain.

Thank you

Maria Williams

MY thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, I will pray to god he gives your family, and her mother the peace to go on, though life will never be the same, time will help to ease the heartache. I pray one day soon your family can say her name and rejoice on the fond memories of her laugh in exchange from the horror of her screams. PLEASE everybody pray for this family as god will come where crowds gather. and we can gather in our hearts. Tell her mom that she is not alone though we didn't know her personally we all Iam sure who have read this hurt for this mom. as a mom of three girls myself I would offer all my strength in prayer to see her through.

**SabineL** · September 19th, 2008, 11:32 PM

I am watching this right now..I am so angry that the department is still standing by the operator, even though she has admitted to being rude to callers before?!!? What is going on? I am sorry for your family, but I am thankful that you posted this..... This is info that people need to hear about.

**Lady Shazerz** · September 20th, 2008, 01:47 AM

I am even more upset now than I was before. I knew a lot of it but seeing it makes me want to beat the living crap out of that woman. I can't believe how blase' she was. Ooooooooooo, I know hitting her won't help but man, I want to do it so bad. I'm sorry to vent but that was so ridiculous and for them to stand behind her makes me so angry.

**waiymee** · September 22nd, 2008, 07:14 PM

I'm so sorry. This is a stupid question but, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD?!!! Ugh, it's all so depressing. People do more for animals than they do for their fellow man. God help us. We'll be praying for your family.

**DawnCaprice** · September 22nd, 2008, 11:07 PM

I saw 20/20 Friday night. The story gave me chills and made me so angry. As I was watching the story, I knew exactly where she was, I used to live in that area. I had no idea that I would have another connection to the story. Makes it even more real.

I am so sorry for your horrific loss. That is just so horrible words can not describe. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I can't imagine what her poor children are goign through.
