Little Girl Called 911 300 Times Found: Police Used McDonald's as Lure.

Posted by Alex in Baby & Kids, Crime & Law on July 6, 2007 at 1:01 pm


Police used a fake offer of McDonald’s to find a 4-year-old girl who called 911 nearly 300 times!

Unbeknownst to her mother, the girl used a deactivated cell phone to call dispatchers 287 times in June — sometimes as often as 20 times a shift.

Dispatchers heard the child’s voice but could only track the phone’s signal to the apartment complex. So authorities used a ruse to pinpoint her.

"We asked (the caller) what she wanted. She said she wanted McDonald’s," said Steve Cordes, executive director of QuadCom’s emergency center, which covers Carpentersville.

"We talked with her and we convinced her if she told us where she lives, we would bring her McDonald’s," he said. "She finally gave us her address. So we sent the police over — with no McDonald’s."
