Spradlin was stabbed in the head, neck and face at least 11 times leading to her death on June 18th at the home of local dentist Michael McKinney. We want Amber's killers, her murderers, to get what they deserve. We want them we want them to get what they deserve but also if our 911 system has failed her then at least she's too it's too late for her but at least it might help another family and that's why this is so important you know I wouldn't wish this on anybody to have to go through. In December of 2022 the Fully County Fiscal Court made the decision to transfer 911 emergency dispatch responsibilities from Kentucky State Police to the city of Prestonsburg due to fiscal concerns. However since the transfer has been made many residents have reported delays in dispatch. One magistrate said he is still waiting for someone to respond to his 911 call after more than 100 days. Is a person's life more important than money I guarantee it's more important and I'll tell you what this family is suffering and how many other families are suffering I'm getting phone calls and they said look into this case look into that case I've even written one down here in your materials uh David and James Hoover from Hippo Kentucky David made a phone call and said you got to get somebody out here because I'm going to shoot my brother and three hours later when the Sheriff's Department finally got notified it was was it three or four hours when they finally got notified they went up there and when they got there James had already been shot and David looked at the officers and said well if you'd gotten here when I made the phone call three hours ago I wouldn't have to shoot my brother now that's a true story that's a true story how many more are out there. Ambr's family has set up a petition to return the 911 Emergency Center to Kentucky State Police and they are meeting with Rocky Adkins to request the governor consider an emergency executive order to return 911 dispatch to Kentucky State Police. The police are doing their job and nobody as far as I know nobody is trying to cover up anything um we're just they're being very careful with the investigation very careful uh so that way uh whenever when the arrest or arrest are made then the right person is charged and uh so you know I just I hope everybody understands that um you know that we are totally behind the state police and uh we we respect uh them for doing such a good job and uh and we feel we're lucky we really do that we're lucky to have the help that we've had. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made we will bring you more details as they become available. Reporting for Mountain Top News I'm Brianna Robinson.
