Hockerbts 1.
06:30
It's 9-Avok.
06:34
We're going to want to take the lead on it.
06:37
So just if you can just preserve it from losing control of the body, that's the main thing until we get sheriffs on the scene.
06:43
They'd sadly prefer it.
06:46
Copy that, Chief.
06:47
We've got PPV and the investigator here, and the body's not going to go anywhere, but we'll keep eyes on until they arrive.
06:58
I hear the same, thank you.
07:01
At 900.
07:06
With the C2 there,
07:08
we might be able to get a hold of 5Mary 27 on the radio and see if they want to have a lamb-based on them with county presence as well.
07:19
Yeah, that'd be great.
07:20
Thanks buddy.
07:21
And then just sitting here with the investigator,
07:24
one thing that they're trying to determine right now is if this is Moldoma County or not based on where the body's position.
07:32
So, PPP is on that and I'll advise once I get the information.
