- In June 1987, there was one of those high-profile murders, in
- Stillwater, that kept everybody talking for weeks. An 18-year-old
- girl who lived in a nice middle-class addition shot and stabbed both
- her parents to death, one night. The girl, initially told police that
- she had been out all night with her friends and had come home to find
- the bloody mess.
-
- According to our paper, one of the things that the police did was
- to ask Southwestern Bell for telephone records. Apparently, blood was
- found on a telephone and the police wanted to see who might have been
- called.
-
- All of this occurred about a month after Stillwater got its
- DMS100 switch. I don't know what the records showed, because the
- girl's story fell apart and she ended up essentially admitting to the
- murders. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there is some internal
- maintenance log of connections. We do not have measured service,
- here, but even the old Xbar switch printed logs of trouble reports.
