A surprising call to the Brown County Dispatch Center Sunday evening is the thing that helped spare the life of a young lady being held hostage in excess of 2,000 miles away.
For the dispatcher dealing with the call, it was a disrupting circumstance. There were even a few considerations the guest was causing it to up.
“That left my mind rapidly and it was obvious that she required our assistance and that it was a genuine call,” said Dispatch Supervisor Tracy Ertl.
Ertl said the young lady disclosed to her she had met a man on the web and had flown from Green Bay to the Dominican Republic to meet him. Be that as it may, when she arrived, she was held inside a house with chains on her and made some hard memories calling for help.
She said she was apprehensive and manhandled. Her things were taken from her, her visa, and she said she needed to continue acquiring back her things,” she included.
Be that as it may, fortunately, the lady had the option to disappear to a nearby market where she called the Brown County non-crisis line utilizing wi-fi and an application on a gadget. Ertl was then ready to get in contact with the U.S. Government office abroad to help find her.
Hours after the fact, migration officials found the lady and carried her to security. Ertl credits her dispatch staff’s speedy reaction and the Green Bay cops who got included.
“We trust that a call like that doesn’t come, yet in any event residents realize we are prepared to accept those calls on the off chance that they come,” she said.
Authorities have not said when the lady will go to Green Bay, and there is no word on if the man who held her hostage has been captured.
