Chapter 7: Shannan's chilling 911 call released
Description
Eyewitness News got an alert that Suffolk County police were going to release surveillance video of Megan Waterman leaving a hotel in Hauppauge -- the last place she was seen.
"As reporters were thinking, again, why do this now?" recalled Kristin Thorne. "They've had this video for so many years -- why now? And they said they want to keep the case going."
Then on May 9, 2022, Suffolk County Police released a 22-minute 911 phone call from Shannan Gilbert the night she disappeared in 2010.
"The 911 tape was sort of as advertised," said Einiger. "It was Shannan Gilbert sounding terrified running for her life."
