Police say an Ohio woman called 911 three times before she and her daughter were murdered by her boyfriend in June.
According to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch records, Aisha Nelson made several 911 calls on June 22, begging for help saying her life was in danger.
Just hours later, police say Nelson and her daughter were dead.
Nelson's first 911 call came in just before 5:30 p.m. She asks how to file a police report after she says her boyfriend threatened to kill her.
"He does have possession of a gun that I purchased, he did take it and I didn't make a big fuss about it but he threatened my life, he has the means to do it," Nelson said to the dispatcher.
The dispatcher encourages her to go to a nearby police station and call from there to have an officer come out and take a report. He also reminds her there are local shelters she can stay at for safety.
According to regional dispatch records, she did not call back until just after midnight on June 23. She asks for an officer to meet her at a Family Dollar so she could file a police report.
"I don't want him arrested I just want to make a report, you know, just in case something does happen because I'm going to protect myself," Nelson said.
The dispatcher says she will send an officer to the Family Dollar, but about 20 minutes later, Nelson calls dispatch back concerned because she saw several officers rushing to another scene.
"I do know that they all went to a call, as far as like how long it may be, that they're on that call, I don't know because I just don't know any details," the dispatcher said.
Nelson tells the dispatcher she will make the report in the morning because she's concerned about waiting too long with her 6-year-old daughter in the car.
"At least you all have my calls recorded, I don't know what else to do, I do realize that Dayton does have a shortage of police officers," Nelson said.
She asks the dispatcher to have officers call her if they can meet with her and says she plans to go back to the house.
"I just don't want them to show up at the house, I don't want to upset him," Nelson said.
"I will go ahead and let them know that," the dispatcher responded.
That was the last 911 call she made.
Her boyfriend, Waverly Hawes, known as Dante, then called dispatch just after 1:30 in the morning.
"My girlfriend is acting crazy, tore up the house, I just want her to get out the house, I don't want no problems," Hawes said.
Dispatch records show police responded to the home on Burleigh Avenue just before 1:40 a.m. and left about an hour later. Dayton Police Major Brian Johns said no report was filed and no arrests were made.
He believes Hawes shot and killed Nelson and her daughter about an hour later.
"So she wasn't removed from the home, they were both there when officers left?" WRGT's Chelsea Sick asked Johns.
"That is correct," Johns said.
"Did they know there were weapons in the home?" Sick asked.
"To my knowledge, yes," Johns said.
He said that weapon was recovered in Alabama, where police say Hawes was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The Dayton Police Department's Professional Standards Bureau has launched an internal investigation to look into the officer's actions.
"Is there anything at this point that you think your officers should have done differently?" Sick asked.
"Well I think that's what we're going to have to do until the review is done, we'll see, we'll know more about how the call was handled and probably learn more from that review," Johns said.
A city official said the officers are not on administrative leave and they could not tell WRGT exactly what officers knew when they responded to the call.
According to Johns, they are now digging through the suspect's cell phone records and will continue to process evidence to be sure no other charges can be filed.
