ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. — In a rushed and frantic voice, James Crumbley relayed to an emergency dispatcher that he had "a missing gun at my house" and "I'm really freaking out."
Crumbley placed the 911 call shortly after leaving a Nov. 30 meeting at Oxford High School over troubling drawings on son Ethan's math paper depicting bullets and a dead body.
The 911 call was among a number of key revelations Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald and her team emphasized in a preliminary hearing Tuesday before 52-3rd District Judge Julie Nicholson, who will decide whether there is enough evidence to bound James and Jennifer Crumbley over for trial on involuntary manslaughter charges stemming from the rampage allegedly carried out by their son.
