NJ State Police released 911 tapes between murdered Chatham, NJ pastor Father Ed Hinds and a 911 dispatcher. Hinds, who was allegedly killed by the church's janitor Jose Feliciano, called 911 from his cellphone; he managed to give his address, but the phone disconnected before the dispatcher could confirm the location. So the dispatcher called back, and on the second attempt, Feliciano answered. The dispatcher asked, "Sir, this is the State Police. You called 911. Do you have an emergency?" and Feliciano responded, "No, we don't. Thank you"—but Hinds' voice is "barely be heard [in the background] saying, 'Yes we do [have an emergency].'''

Absolutely terrible. I'm not going to listen to the tape.
Another dead pedophile.....what's the problem here exactly?
There were reports the priest and the janitor were in an affair. Hardly makes him a pedophile; actually pretty mature for a closeted gay priest.
yes, reports from whom? according to what i've seen from the prosecutors, the priest tried to fire the guy after learning that the accused was using a false identity and had a criminal history that included corrupting a minor.
and from the AP: Court documents revealed that Hinds had discussed firing Feliciano with a St. Patrick School official one day before his death, and mentioned an irregularity in Feliciano's personnel file regarding a criminal background check.
"Two law enforcement sources have said authorities are pursuing reports of a possible relationship between the two men."

wow, you are so fucking edgy! stay awesome champ.
I might be completely ignorant when it comes to police technology - but couldn't they just "trace" the call where the cellphone was? Why did they not send anyone immediately? Why did they have to call back to confirm the address --- or is it that I've been watching too many spy movies and political thrillers?
According Star Ledger, "Because the call was placed via cell phone, its exact location and town were not known to the dispatcher answering the call, authorities said."
I think only police can trace cellphones (and there are civil liberties questions about that), so it's doubtful/unclear that a dispatcher would have that power to do so immediately.
Don't know why they didn't just use something like this:

im sure the NJ system is just as out of date as NYC, except we know that billions collected and millions wasted on 911 upgrades and fees disguied as federal taxes that are charged by your cell phone provider with no actual improvement in promised emergency location features

Mayor Bloomberg's $1.3 billion plan to modernize the city's 911 system is two years late, plagued by poor management and bad equipment, and has ballooned in cost to more than $2 billion, the Daily News has learned.
911 Upgrade"- AT&T Wireless began to charge some customers an additional $1.75 a month for the 911 upgrade, as well as for the option for consumers to keep the same phone number if switching carriers.
Cellphone carriers will often put the new rate increases under sections of the bill that will make the charges appear mandatory. Sprint Corp. has disguised its’ fee by placing it under the “Taxes, Regulatory Related Charges and Surcharges and Fees”, Nextel placed its’ fee under “Federal Programs Cost Recovery”, and Cingular has placed its’ fee under “Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee”. Nixon has filed a complaint against Sprint Corporation and Nextel Communications with complaints that the cellular carriers are misleading consumers by making it appear that the new fees are due to government imposed taxes when they are not.
