TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2002 A 911 operator who handled one of the calls from two Aboriginal sisters killed in a domestic violence dispute testified on Monday that a fellow worker never read the entry and failed to dispatch a police car. Susan Cieslar took the fourth call from Corrine McKeown and Doreen Leclair. She made an entry noting that McKeown had a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, William Dunlop. But Cieslar says dispatcher Brenda Foy admitted never reading it, and never sending a car. Foy may now be called before the inquest. The sisters, who lived in a poor neighborhood in Winnipeg that has a high Native population, had made five calls to 911 the night they died in February 2000. Police responded to the first call but were unable to determine Dunlop was the subject of the order. Police then responded to the last call and found the women stabbed to death. Get the Story:
