Colin allegedly assaulted and repeatedly stabbed his girlfriend while attempting to force her to have sex with him. In November 2016, police responded to a 911 call from an open line, a female could be heard screaming in the background. The dispatcher knew the general area where the 911 call was coming from but could not locate the actual address. Before she was able to give her location, the suspect took and dropped the phone which still had an open line to 911. Thinking quickly, the dispatcher directed the police toward the phone’s general location. Once the dispatcher heard the police car sirens, getting closer and closer, she directed them to the victim’s phone, which was discovered in a driveway, abandoned next to a bloody knife. Following a blood trail, they soon found the victim on a porch of a nearby residence, bleeding profusely from 5 stab wounds. The victim, in critical condition, underwent emergency surgery and survived. Further investigation revealed that Colin had made previous threats to kill the victim and her children but the threats were not reported to police.
