My roommate's daughter just came and woke me up in my bedroom. She told me that something was wrong with mommy and that mommy wouldn't wake up. 911 OPERATOR: Is she breathing?
JACOB PIERCY:
00:01:38
Yes. No. I don't know. We need to get someone here.
OFFICER:
00:01:44
Sheriff's office. I was woken up to a phone call. Do you know what time it was? 5:35 AM. It was Jacob on the phone saying that Katlyn is unresponsive. They're doing CPR, and the EMS is there. My sister called. She's like, Sherry, get to Katlyn's right now. Something's wrong. And my only thought was, let me get to that baby. Who's up there with Milani? Where's the baby at?
OFFICER:
00:02:12
They're in the living room. She's in the living room. I grabbed her, and she just, like, melted into me. Yeah, it was pretty bad.
OFFICER:
00:02:20
The way the code of Virginia is, nobody can get in trouble for overdosing. I swear to God.
OFFICER:
00:02:25
Call for help--
JACOB PIERCY:
00:02:25
They asked me, does she do drugs? Do I do drugs? Did you give her something? Did she take something? I was like, I don't do drugs.
OFFICER:
00:02:33
All the signs are looking for an overdose. The police were adamant that it was a drug overdose, and I'm like, she doesn't do drugs.
OFFICER:
00:02:40
We're taking off at this point. She's, obviously, being transported.
JACOB PIERCY:
00:02:43
I genuinely believed she's going to be OK. She got CPR. She was alive. She had a heartbeat. She was going to be OK. In the hospital, they even wanted to bring a chaplain in, and I was like, no. My child's not going to die. I don't need a chaplain in right now. A tech came to me and walked me outside. She said, it wasn't drugs. Someone hurt your baby. Who would want to hurt her? She loved everybody, and everybody loved her. She didn't have enemies. That you were aware of. Yeah. I will never stop seeing my daughter's name, and I will never stop seeking justice for her.
