You have to remember that back in 1996, many of us did not have cell phones and land lines were the usual way to make contact. And there was no unlimited long distance calling. Long distance calls were paid for extra, by the minute.
So in this interview, Fleet said he was trying to reach his mother who was a PATIENT at the Aspen hospital. He didn't know the number for the hospital so was trying to dial information. At the time, 411 was the number to get a local number and the way to get a long distance number was 1-411.
So Fleet dialed 1411 and the first time he made no connection. He tried again and that worked. After that, he said he would have put the long distance call on his own charge card so it would not be billed to the Ramseys.
The thing is, Fleet doesn't know if he dialed 911 or not? Did the mistake happen the first time he went to dial 1411? He says maybe - - but in truth, on December 27th, he just did not know.
He was asked if he knew about a 911 call that was made during the party, that police went to the house. At first he denied to police any knowledge but later remembered someone at the party spoke of the police coming to the door that night so he did, in fact, know there was a 911 hang-up call. But he didn't feel it was important and at the time didn't think it had been HIS mistake. Still, later, when asked about it, he agreed it might have been his mistake as he had sent time on the phone that night.
