A newly released 911 call placed after the discovery of a Florida woman and her 2-year-old son painted a horrifying picture of the scene of an alleged attempted murder-suicide.
Local NBC affiliate WTVJ reported on the call, which was released by police in Plantation, Florida, just over a year since the alleged crime took place. On March 26, 2024, the parents of 38-year-old Sara Ashley Gama went to her home after she stopped answering phone calls and were met with a bloody scene. Once they walked through the house, they discovered their daughter dead as well as their young grandson, Ethan, facedown in the pool. Their son-in-law, 41-year-old Jean Carlos Aponte, was unresponsive in the bedroom.
Gama’s father, who was not named, told dispatchers, “My daughter’s been assaulted, I think she’s dead. She looks like her throat has been slashed.” He also said that he found a knife in the kitchen. When the couple found Aponte, they initially believed he was also dead. WTVJ reported that Gama’s father told dispatchers, “Oh my God! Here’s Jean too. They were killed, we think they were killed, yeah, they were killed, somebody killed them … both are dead and their son is missing.”
In the background, Gama’s mother can be heard wailing and saying, “We need to find the baby.” The couple’s 4-month-old son was found unharmed in the living room, in a swinging infant chair.
According to the arrest warrant, Gama was found in the kitchen on the floor, “surrounded by a pool of blood.” The autopsy revealed that she had been stabbed 28 times. Ethan was stabbed four times before his father allegedly threw him in the pool where he was found; his cause of death was determined to be “sharp force injury and drowning.”
