Legacy Matters

Death by deception and garage door

Via Ann Althouse, Instant Karma

"Yeah, my name is Stacy and I am driving toward Ontario, when a car went off into the median at mile marker 22"...

From a very credible-sounding 911 call. Link

Stacy is actually Melissa Farris, 35, of Caldwell, according to Caldwell Police Chief Chris Allgood. He says Farris made the call to 911, waited for paramedics to leave, then tried to slip under the closing bay door.

That attempt failed, and instead she got trapped and died.

Farris was a former worker at the paramedics station where she died Thursday. Her call appeared to be perfectly crafted to call paramedics away from the station.

The paramedics drove off looking for the nonexistent accident — as Farris — who, for whatever reason really wanted to get inside — lay dying under their door.

After seven years working at the Canyon County Paramedics in Idaho, Ferris left under apparently cloudy circumstances.    They did get her out and she died in the hospital

She leaves behind a husband and two sons, both parents, two sisters and two grandparents.  How sad for them all.
