A Colorado Springs woman believes her husband may still be alive if police had responded to her call for help.
Qualin Campbell, 31, was found dead in his car this month in Colorado Springs, about an hour after his wife, Tali’Ja Campbell, said she called police and told them she feared that her husband was in trouble. But she claims they did nothing.
Tali’Ja Campbell says she immediately feared her husband could have been kidnapped and called 911 to ask for help, but because she was outside of the Colorado Springs county line she first received a dispatch person in nearby El Paso County. Realizing the location of the incident, she says, the dispatcher soon patched her through to Colorado Springs PD, who gave her assurance that they were responding to the call.
Tali'Ja Campbell says officers never responded to her initial call despite the car being less than a mile from the police headquarters. About an hour had passed since she first placed the 911 call. “I fell to my knees, and I started screaming,” she said. “I shouldn’t have been the one to have to do that.”, the police department said it found two dead adult males shortly after 2 p.m. June 2 on South Nevada Avenue. But Tali'Ja Campbell says this was only after she placed a second call to police, which came after she first discovered the bodies.
Qualin Campbell’s death is being investigated as a homicide, according to police. The death of the other man, identified as David Karels, 44, of Colorado Springs, is being investigated as a suicide.Campbell’s attorney, Harry Daniels, questions why police did not act sooner.
