The audio the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources released on 26 July is a specific document, and two things in it keep getting lost.
It is not a 911 call. It went to Sea Tow, a private marine towing company, at around 4 p.m. on 4 July, per WLOX. On the recording the caller says: "Hey we're at the west tip of Horn, and our bilge pump stopped working. We're sinking." He also gives a count - about seven people on board.
The rest of the call matters too. The dispatcher speaks with a captain who says he is already on the phone with the boat's owner, a relative of the teenager calling. The dispatcher tries to transfer the call, and it appears to disconnect. Sea Tow says it did not end up towing the boat.
Retired FBI agent Kieran Ramsey told Fox News the released audio does not show anything nefarious. A separate forensic expert told NewsNation that the enhanced version circulating online could not be verified - two different recordings, routinely discussed as one.
GPS data obtained by CBS News has the boat leaving at about 4:31 p.m. The state autopsy is sealed and going to a grand jury, per WLBT. The family's independent autopsy returned undetermined pending investigation, per ABC News and CNN. Nobody has been charged and no suspect has been named.
