Chilling 911 call captures woman’s plea before being buried alive
Harrowing audio has emerged of a Washington state woman’s 911 call after she was allegedly bound and gagged by her estranged husband before being buried alive in a shallow grave.
Chae An, 53, is accused of the heinous crime against Young An, 42, in a dispute about their divorce and finances.
“The dispatch was an ‘unknown trouble call,’” Sgt. Shannon Barnes told the news outlet Wednesday. “So he had no information about anything he was walking into.”
The suspect took her to a wooded location where he allegedly stabbed her in the chest and buried her alive in a shallow grave.
Young said she managed to breathe by squirming to keep the dirt from suffocating her as she lay in the pit for several hours before finally succeeding in tearing off the tape.
She made her way to a nearby home in Lacey, about 60 miles southwest of Seattle, where she banged on the door pleading for help, police said.
When a sheriff’s deputy arrived, Young shouted, “My husband is trying to kill me! Help me!” according to a probable cause statement.
On Tuesday, Chae pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree domestic violence kidnapping and first-degree domestic violence assault.
