Bodycam footage shows that police did not even get out of their patrol car when responding to the desperate 911 call of a teen being crushed to death in the back of his SUV.  

Kyle Plush, 16, was found dead on April 10 - more than six hours after he first called police for help - saying he was stuck in the seats of his van and close to death.

The footage, released Friday. showed Cincinnati Officers Edsel Osborne and Brian Brazile did not check all the school's parking lots. Police records show the officers were at the school for about 11 minutes, but the body camera footage only shows about 3 minutes of their search. 

 When the officers appeared for the first call, they never got out of their cruiser and appeared to only search one of the three parking lots around his school, at least while their body-worn cameras were turned on.

And at one point an officer said, 'I don't see nobody, which I didn't imagine I would.'

As they responded to a call of unknown trouble at 3:15 p.m. on April 10 at Seven Hills School, Kyle was trapped in his van and having trouble breathing. He called 911 twice, but help never arrived. His father found his body hours later, when Kyle didn't come home.

Time line of Kyle Plush 911 comm 

 

Plush called 911 using Siri on his iPhone at 3.14pm. Plush says he cannot hear the 911 call taker, but he needs help and is trapped in his van. The call lasted around three minutes before it disconnected.

At 3.23pm, two officers were dispatched to the area of Seven Hills School after using GPS technology to narrow down Plush's location. 

At 3.35pm and Plush calls 911 a second time. Amber Smith at the 911 center takes the call, Plush gave her a description of the van, and his location, but a loud noise sounds during the call.

'This is not a joke,' the teen told Smith. 'I'm almost dead.' 'I probably don't have much time left, so tell my mom I love her if I die,' he added during the call. 

Chief Isaac said Smith did not pass along the information about the call. 

'Apparently there was some trouble on the line. She did press the tone to indicate she's having trouble on the line to that could possibly be a call received from a hearing impaired person but again those are things that have been conveyed preliminarily,' Chief Isaac added.

Now at 3:37pm, officers with the Cincinnati police officers say over radio they believe the call was a prank and they close out the call for service.

There is one final check of the area at 3:44pm, when a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy who was working an off-duty traffic detail calls the communication center and asks a call taker for information about the van. He also tried to locate the van and stated he looked in one van.

Deputy Doug Allen says on the call: 'I was in there I just looked in a van. I didn't see anybody in it. There was only one van by the thrift store... I'm down in the lower lot behind the thrift store.'

It remains unclear whether he had looked into Plush's van or another vehicle.  

His parents recieve a call that he did not show up for his tennis match from a friend, and they locate the van using an app to locate his iPhone. 

 

In his first call to 911, which resulted in the officers being dispatched to the school, Kyle gave his location as 'Seven Hills' and said he was 'trapped in my van.'

'I'm gonna die here,' he told the 911 operator, Stephanie Magee.

Yelling and loud banging sounds can also be heard on the first call. Magee's supervisors would later say she should have conveyed that information to the officers on the scene.

The officers were at the school while Kyle was making his second call, though a 911 operator said she never heard it, police documents show. In the second call, Kyle described his van in more detail, saying it was a gold Honda Odyssey.

The footage, released Friday. showed Cincinnati Officers Edsel Osborne and Brian Brazile did not check all the school's parking lots. Police records show the officers were at the school for about 11 minutes, but the body camera footage only shows about 3 minutes of their search.

Music plays in the background and one of the officers also comments to the other, 'These kids drive betters cars than you do.'

The video was made public after requests by The Enquirer and other media outlets.

Oh my gosh!

Shame on them.

That poor child might have been saved, if they had taken his call seriously, and had done a proper search.

My heart hurts, for him, and his family and friends.cry

 But they were looking for a specific car. The parking lots they searched did not have the car.  They didn't search all  the lots, and that is the shame.

So very heartbreaking :( May the young man R.I.P. and may his family find resolution and someday find comfort if possible. I just can’t even imagine what they are going through.

Why didn't they ping his cell phone, to find out here he was?

It sounds like that is how he was found.

It's sad, that no one tried that, sooner.cry

They weren't just lazy, they were derelict in their duty. That boy died because people didn't do their job. They all need to be fired.
