Wellness check

So now it's like five o'clock.

So she calls the apartment complex to do a wellness check.

And at this point, I'm done working.

They said they can't do a wellness check.

The police have to do it.

So you'd have to call the police.

saying, have you heard from Aaron at all today? And I responded, no, I've been trying to get in contact with him all day.

I haven't talked to him since like 6am and he texts me this weird thing.

Rose's three adult children, Devin, Alan, and Donna, had been working to transition their mother's care, knowing that she felt safest in her longtime home, surrounded by her strong community network.

After the family couldn't reach Rose, a cousin and a neighbor entered the house during a wellness check, and they found Rose collapsed upstairs.

Initially assuming a medical emergency, they began CPR and called emergency services.

Only later did investigators discover someone had broken in through a secured basement window and shot Rose once in the chest.

those are just two things.

I don't know if they're connected or not, but those things after the fact raise an eyebrow for me, had I known them prior, probably would have done something a little different.

Alan wants to make it clear that Ted, their neighbor, was a longtime friend to their family and was one of the people who rushed to Rose's home during the wellness check, and not at all a possible person of interest in this case.

Ted did not encourage this other man to stop by Rose's home again to look for work, and he had not known about those visits.

I was hanging out in the house with Chris.

Do like a personal welfare check, I guess.

But John, that's her? Johnny, yeah, that's her son.

And then her other friend, Jody.

Two police officers were standing outside apartment 1502 with a body camera running.

They were there for a welfare check, nothing more.

The door opened, and it was two little girls, nine years old and five years old, still home on a school day.

They were polite and chatty.

From there, the school called Joyce now and informed her that the girls were absent and that they couldn't get ahold of their mother.

Joyce also knew how reliable Jessica was and knew that she would never keep the girls home from school without telling anyone.

Plus, she also knew about the prior assault, so she called Alvin PD and asked for a welfare check on her daughter.

Officers received that call at around 9:00 AM, then got there at about 10:00.
