There was something that caught my eye today pertaining to 911 calls. Not going to listen to the call, but let's talk about what happened. Oh my god. I hope none of you ever have to say that. I hope none of y'all ever even have to hear that. I'm going to cry. 911 call made from Apple Watch of Washington woman buried alive released. Now, a while back, I was looking at Apple Watches and I saw this feature that was like, the Apple Watch can monitor your heart rate and it can tell you, you know, it can send a report to authorities if you your breathing stops or if something happens. The owner of this Apple Watch has taken a hard fall and is not responding to their watch. Never did I suspect 911 calls being made from an Apple Watch. She escaped, but there's a lot to this. We actually have the affidavit and I wanted to just go through all of this with you. Her ex-husband wanted to keep his pension that was coming in from the government, didn't want to share it. They were no longer together. The kids said that sometimes he would come back to the house just to wash his clothes once a week. At some point there was some kind of exchange and maybe we'll just get some more information about that in the affidavit, where she was supposed to be getting some of the money. Now, look, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that if he's coming to her house once a week to wash clothes, he doesn't have any money. He's being real stingy about this and he's trying to keep every single dollar that he has. Well, I think a fight broke out. Let's read the article. It kind of starts off with the 911 dispatcher getting the call in and although Young's mouth is bound, the operator can actually hear the muffled screams. She's crying. This woman is clearly in danger. Guys, how many times have we seen a case where the operator does absolutely nothing? And look, I know we have some 911 operators in the community. It is truly one of the most traumatizing jobs, but you guys that remember these cases and that are incredibly traumatized by these things, y'all are the people that do something, okay? Just like our operator here. Young alleged that Shay punched her multiple times before binding her eyes, hands, and body with duct tape. Before Young was driven into the woods near Lacey to be buried, she managed to contact 911 and send a notification to her emergency contacts using her Apple Watch. The distressing call recorded, "I'm not playing the call." Okay, we literally do not need to hear this woman pleading for her life. I'm just saying, this is how it happened. It's crazy. She's screaming and sobbing, but they were able to articulate some words and pinpoint a location. The operator says, "I'm going to get help started for you. Just hold on a second." That's actually heard in the recording. The dispatcher reassures Young that help is on the way as she stays on the line. The recording then ends when a police officer arrives. However, Shay had already broken her watch with a hammer before loading her into a van and driving into the woods to bury her. Young told police that he stabbed her in the chest and placed her in a shallow grave. She managed to keep dirt off her face by wiggling around as she laid in the grave for hours. A lot of people suffocate when they put that dirt on top of you. When you're breathing it in and you're inhaling it through your mouth, your nose, it collects in your lungs. It's probably going to form a paste in your lungs with all the water gets in there. That's how a lot of people end up dying. So, she kind of knew beforehand she was shaking her head to keep as much of that dirt and debris out as possible. Afterwards, she tore off the duct tape and ran for 30 minutes until she found a house to plead for help. A lot of people really showed up in this case cuz I've heard a lot of times where the operator doesn't take it seriously. They're having a bad day and they're "Ma'am, I can't hear you." And they hang up. I mean, we've seen it so many times. And then we've seen a lot of cases in um things like I Survived where somebody is battered, bloody, naked, running through the streets looking for help, and they're in such a hysterical state, they scare off the first person that they run to. And they don't call the police, they don't stop, no nothing. So, here our operator actually showed up. The person that she she ran for 30 minutes in the first house, it sounds like, um she came to actually helped her. So, when she got there, she was yelling, "My husband is trying to kill me. Help me." Which I hope I never have to say. I hope none of you ever have to say that. I hope none of y'all ever even have to hear that. After he is apprehended, because they showed up at the house, he pled not guilty to charges of first-degree attempted murder, first-degree kidnapping, and first-degree domestic violence assault. Some people might be wondering, it's first-degree even though they got into a fight, attempted murder? Anytime there's money involved, it's calculated, it's going to bump you up from second-degree to first-degree. I mean it means you've been thinking about it a lot, to be completely honest. Obviously, there's a lot of information there. I got to take a look at the affidavit. Let's see. If you don't know, that's basically the big police report that's going to give us some information of probable cause. I mean, we know about the pension plan, but I got to dive a little bit more into it. Let's check this out. So, I'm the deputy prosecuting attorney for Thurston County. I believe that there is probable cause to believe that the above-named defendant has committed the crimes of attempted murder in the first degree, domestic violence Yes. Kidnapping in the first degree/domestic violence Yes, it was kidnapping. Assault in the first degree. He was punching her, he bound her, and she alleges that he stabbed her in the chest. Absolutely 100% and felony of harassment. Get the [ __ ] off my property, threat to kill, domestic vi- I mean, this is everything in the book. How many years are we talking about for this? All of them. The female was heard screaming, sounded gagged, and could not talk. Call notes stated that there was just constant screaming, and it was unknown if it was medical or not. I mean, you can only imagine how loud she could have been screaming for help. If you [ __ ] hear that next door, that's not medical, okay? So, this is when the officers arrived at the scene. Upon arrival, Lacy units found an unoccupied residence with signs of a disturbance inside, and the garage door left open, and the entrance to the residence left unsecured. He just rushed out of there. If there was a scuffle, he didn't clean anything up, so that's going to be really, really obvious to investigators. The occupants of the home are Young-On and her two children, Crystal and 11-year-old J.A. The home has a previous history of domestic violence, and there was no valid contact order in place between Young-On and her estranged husband, Shaon. While officers were on the scene, the children who lived in the home returned to the home. Crystal told the officers she, her mom, and her brother had returned from church, and their dad's van was in the driveway. Oh my god, they're his kids. Crystal advised her parents are going through a divorce, and her dad comes to the house once a week to do his laundry. Crystal said her mom went into the home, and she went in to get her car keys, and quickly left the residence. She did not see her dad in the home. Crystal said that she drove her car to go to Goodwill and Baskin-Robbins, leaving her mom's Toyota Prius and her dad's van at the home. Crystal confirmed she did not see or observe duct tape when she left the church with mom and brother. Hmm. Okay, looks like they showed her the surveillance from a camera, like a ring camera or something across the street, and she identified her dad, really important. Crystal said at 1:07 she received a text message from her mom saying there was an emergency at the location, and she received a map of the residence. That's that Apple Watch coming through. So, does anyone know how you do that? Can you just say something to the watch and it will say or you can just tap emergency? So, that's what it does. It sends just an automated text message to whoever your contact is and says there's an emergency, here's the location. Oh my god. This could have ended really [ __ ] badly. Our Apple Watch, our operator that gave a [ __ ] the person's house that she ran to. Oh my god. Not not an ad, just in full support of this. If I got that text from one of my friends, I would come running. So, she ran to another house after she got out of the shallow grave. I can't believe I'm saying that. The residents called 911 and the deputy arrived and Young was hiding behind a shed on the property. When Young realized the deputy was law enforcement, she sprinted at them screaming and crying for help. She grabbed one of the deputy and frantically said, "My husband is trying to kill me. Help me." She still had duct tape wrapped around her neck, lower face and ankles. There was extensive bruising to her legs, arm, her head, clothing and hair were all covered in dirt. The deputy helped her into the back of their patrol vehicle and asked her name. I'm going to cry. Claimed my husband is still out there in the woods somewhere. Um so, this looks like it was the next day at 7:00 a.m. Uh the sheriff's department was dispatched to a suspicious vehicle located on the western trail um and upon arriving, deputies observed the vehicle on the trail that belonged to the ex-husband. Oh, and he was in the vehicle. He was taken into custody. Young said that he became angry and she asked him to leave. Young said she went to her bedroom to change and while upstairs in the master bedroom, he attacked her and punched her in the head multiple times and threw her to the ground. She said she then tied her hands behind her back with duct tape and taped her eyes, thighs, and ankles. So, this was premeditated. I can't think of a single scenario where I'm going to show up with duct tape to have a conversation. He untied her up, and then Young said that her ex-husband left the room for a few moments, and while he was gone, using her Apple Watch, she contacted 911 and sent an emergency notification to her emergency contact. Oh my god, I did not mean for this to be an Apple Watch ad, but I'm all in. Is there anything similar to an Apple Watch that doesn't look like that, exactly, that I can use? It has the feature on all mobile devices. What am I supposed to do? Pull a Jennifer Pan and and wiggle it and and pull it from the back of my pocket? I don't have the confidence. I mean, the fact that she just already had it on her arm is just crazy. She said that she could hear the dispatcher talking and was trying to communicate, but her mouth was covered, so all she could do was yell. She was probably also yelling to cover up the dispatcher talking, so that her ex-husband didn't know that she was on the line. Young said that he realized she had her Apple Watch on, so he struck it with a hammer and then struck her wrist. The watch was taken off her arm, and she was put in the van. Oh my god. Can you imagine like your last what feels like your last hope just being taken away? This is [ __ ] crazy to me. She could hear him digging in the dirt, and he stabbed her with a sharp object. Young said that she was drugged and put into the ground. She said a heavy tree was put on top of her. She said she could see it was daylight, but after being put in the ground, she could not hear her husband walking around the hole and dirt being put on top of her. She said she could wiggle around to prevent the dirt from being on her face. Guys, I don't think they would have found her. I really don't think they would have found her. She got up out of that shallow grave herself. She wiggled her body and was able to get the tape off of her arms and legs and take it off of her eyes so she could see the van and the windows were steaming so she could see a light inside of the van. She moved the tree off of her and got out of the hole and ran into the woods away from the van. She could see headlights which led her to the road and then she could see a house. Young said she walked up to the house and asked for help and the police arrived. Signed here by prosecuting attorney under penalty of perjury of law in the state of Washington, I certify that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Sign it Elizabeth and prosecute that [ __ ] So, this is a very interesting case to me. I will definitely be following up on this. We'll just have to probably refer to it as the Young case and I'll keep you guys posted because sometimes people on attempted murder, they really don't serve for too long but with just everything he has from the aggravated assault to kidnapping, kidnapping will put you away for a minute. Threat to kill, domestic violence, I'm hoping we get a couple decades in this [ __ ] because he needs to sit in that cell and think about everything. Everything. All of the time.
