Just two days before being brutally killed in their Whitfield County, Georgia, home, victims Judy Potts and her daughter Krystal Spainhour called 911 to report a dispute between them and their suspected killer, 911 call records reveal.
The suspect, Michael Brandon Townsend, then called 911 two days later to turn himself in, saying he “lost his mind and choked 2 ladys [sic],” according to a written 911 dispatch report.
On Jan. 8, Spainhour, 44, said Townsend, who was living with the women, had been drinking and arguing with her mother.
In the nearly nine-minute 911 call released to the Times Free Press, Townsend can be heard screaming in the background when the 911 dispatcher tells Spainhour to “get away from him now” and repeatedly asks the women to go to a separate room and lock the door.
Potts, 72, then takes the phone and tells the dispatcher “He’s [Townsend] coming to us like he’s doing right now, hollering, screaming.”
