At least not according to the Suffolk County Police Department, who said that they incorporated canine training exercises into their search of the area around Shannan Gilbert's last known location. It was then that Shannan's call was connected to the missing persons report that her family had filed in New Jersey. According to the former Suffolk County Chief of Detectives Dominick Varrone, they knew nothing about Shannon's call for almost a month. In fact, because they didn't have a location, the dispatchers supposedly transferred the 23-minute call to the New York State Police. However, the police department said that it couldn't respond because Shannan wouldn't tell the 911 dispatchers where she was when they asked her. Amy Ryan's character blames the Suffolk County Police Department for this, as did the real Mari Gilbert. Shannan (pictured below) made the 911 call from inside the house of the man who hired her, Joseph Brewer, at 4:51 a.m., but police didn't arrive in the community of Oak Beach until 5:40 a.m., almost an hour later.

This makes little sense given that the Suffolk police had already maintained that Shannan Gilbert's death was accidental and not related to the Long Island serial killer's murders.Дid it really take police almost an hour to respond to Shannan Gilbert's 911 call? The police appealed the ruling, maintaining that it could jeopardize an ongoing investigation. In 2018, a judge ruled that the Suffolk County Police Department must produce the recording or the transcript, giving them 20 days to do so. Even ten years after her death, the police have refused to release the audio or the transcript of Shannan Gilbert's 911 call, stating that it is part of an ongoing investigation. According to the police, Shannan told 911 dispatchers, 'They are trying to kill me.' Despite this, the police ultimately believed that she accidentally fell and drowned in the marshland, a theory that seemed less likely after an independent autopsy suggested strangulation as a possible cause of death. The call seems to be portrayed accurately in the movie.
