"As a matter of fact it seemed to have disappeared from all (of) the maps." one officer noted.

11:03 they finally open the door. The officers body cams catch a horrific sight.
The following is the body cam transcript of Fresaws police officer Dwight gerald:
"Oh god!"
"How many?"
"...Thirteen. Jesus."
"Cams off!"
"But sir-"
"Now!"
"Cams off sir."
