A 911 call captured a dispatcher hearing a woman screaming and crying shortly before Oklahoma influencer Sara Gilson and her husband, Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey, were found dead in a murder-suicide. Authorities responded to Gilson's home late Thursday after a male called 911 and then lost contact.
"I'm trying to reach him back, but I could hear a female in the background screaming and crying," the dispatcher is heard reporting in audio obtained by TMZ. The dispatcher also noted hearing "some sort of loud bang in the background."
Authorities were aware of allegations against Duffey, who was reportedly on the run after being accused of molesting a 15-year-old girl. A dispatcher referenced "a male that we were looking for a few weeks ago after he got caught kissing a juvenile."
Gilson's son called 911 to report that his stepfather had shot his mother. Gilson, 43, and Duffey, 48, were found deceased at her home in Owasso.
The incident occurred weeks after Gilson publicly accused Duffey of being a pedophile in a viral TikTok video. She had also obtained a restraining order against him and reported him as armed and suicidal.
In her social media post, Gilson, who styled the video as a "Netflix documentary," stated her film was "about my soon-to-be ex-husband who I just found out is a pedophile."
Duffey, a youth basketball coach, faced accusations from the alleged victim's mother that he kissed and touched a 15-year-old player, invited her to his hotel room, and offered her money to maintain her silence.
Court documents indicate Gilson filed for three protective orders against Duffey, with the most recent one extending through August 24. In that filing, she alleged he possessed a gun, had made suicidal threats, and had gone on the run. The order mandated that Duffey leave the family home and remain at least 100 yards away from Gilson at all times.
