Police Release 911 Call from Christmas Day Double Homicide

A chilling call for help from a seven-year-old girl who watched the brutal murders of her mother and a family friend on Christmas Day. The man accused of doing it -- the child's father -- was in court on Tuesday.

 

On Tuesday, in addition to filing two charges of aggravated murder against 32 year old John Marsh, officials also released a horrific 911 tape of the original call for help made by the Marsh's seven-year-old daughter Caitlyn. She told authorities Marsh was waiting for them, inside the home, when the family got back from a holiday dinner.

 

We want you to know the audio from this tape is incredibly chilling, as well as graphic. But authorities say that is exactly how they would describe the scene of what happened there in Williamsfield Township this Christmas Eve.

 

It's something no child should ever experience.

 

Authorities say there was a history of domestic violence between suspect John Marsh and his wife, Jennifer. In fact, a divorce was pending, and a civil protection order had been filed again Marsh. None of it, though, was effective in preventing a horrific crime.

 

“At that time we began processing the scene, we learned he had taken the four year old to his residence in Williamsfield Township,” said Ashtabula Co. Sheriff William Johnson.

 

It was there he kept police at bay for nearly 30 minutes before surrendering without incident.

 

“We know we have the guy who is responsible for the deaths and that's what's important right now. Now, we have to put it all together,” Johnson said.

 

Police say their investigation will be helped greatly by the quick action and courage of seven year old Caitlyn Marsh who made that 911 call. But they add they're frustrated such a crime couldn't have been prevented.

 

“This is tragic all the way around. And sometimes it gets to that point. Yeah, it's frustrating. People can make threats every day in this profession. We hope that doesn't happen,” said Johnson.

 

Unfortunately, in this case it did.

 

Officials say it will be up to a grand jury to decide if Marsh will be eligible for the death penalty.

 

Now, the Marshes did have three children -- seven year old Caitlyn, four-year-old Lucas who was taken from the scene and a 12 year old who wasn't home at the time -- but to say that none of the children were harmed is relative. They had no physical injuries, but certainly emotional scars are there that will likely last a lifetime.
