GARY | A recording of emergency radio traffic confirms the two survivors of a fatal Gary crash told city police two of their friends were ejected from their car and lying in a ditch.

Minutes after the first officer reported being flagged down by the blood-covered driver of the car on Sept. 15, the officer radioed, "He said he had two other guys with him."

Another officer responding to the scene said the car flipped several times.

"He said there's two other people?"

"If they're not in the car, they had to have gotten out and walked off," the first officer responded.

"If you could see the vehicle, I don't know how anyone could have walked off," another officer at the scene said.

The bodies of Brandon Smith and Dominique Green weren't found until hours later, when in daylight, Brandon's father, Arthur Smith, went to the 2400 block of Chase Street.

Family members of the four teens have criticized Gary police for not finding the two dead teens after the crash that happened about 1:30 a.m.

The driver, Darius Moore, 17, insisted he told officers about his two friends who were left behind as he and DeAndre Anderson, 17, were being taken to Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus.

On Wednesday, a day after Gary police released the recordings, Arthur Smith returned to the site where his son died. He recalled how he found the blood of his son and Green, and smeared some of each on his white T-shirt.

"Now, the blood is on you, Gary Police Department," Arthur Smith said.

Also released was a recording of the frantic voice of Brandon's aunt, Annette Jolly, during a 911 call at 8:32 a.m. Sept. 15.

"Yes! There was an accident on 25th and Chase last night, and my nephew is lying here," Jolly screams on the recording.

At 1:53 a.m., workers did call for help to raise the car out of the ravine, saying, "Bring 700 feet of cable because the car is way down in the ditch."

Arthur Smith said listening to the tape was "kind of disgusting, in a way."

"Those boys had been telling them that all the time," he said. "(Police) still didn't do anything about it. Those boys wasn't lying."

Smith said he has not received the results of the independent autopsy on his son, but he expects them in several weeks.

He said a third-party review of Gary's crash investigation by Lake County police is "a step in the right direction."

Smith continued his call for Gary Police Chief Thomas Houston's resignation but said little could be done to repair the damage done to him and his family.

"Nothing they can offer me can bring Brandon back," he said.

Mayor Rudy Clay did not return a call made Wednesday by The Times.

Houston has defended his officers and emergency personnel, saying they had received conflicting information. A call Wednesday night to city police spokesman Lt. Sam Roberts was not returned.

Jolly watched television news reports of the police recording over and over. She said making the desperate 911 calls public would be "good for those boys," referring to survivors Moore and Anderson.

Carmelita Evans, Moore's mother, said she still is outraged with police but the recording makes her feel better and provides some vindication for her son.

"The truth is out there," she said. "They clearly knew about the other boys out there."

Gary police said Moore and Anderson had blood-alcohol concentrations of 0.05 and 0.09, but they would not say which teen had which level.
