CHATHAM, N.J. (AP/ 1010 WINS) -- Tapes of 911 calls show the first people to summon help for a slain New Jersey priest thought he was unconscious due to a fall.
The Rev. Edward Hinds was dead when his body was found in the rectory of his Chatham church on Oct. 23. Authorities said he had been stabbed 32 times the day before by longtime church custodian Jose Feliciano.
Feliciano remains held on bail.
New Jersey State Police have not released 911 calls made on the priest's cell phone on Oct. 22. Authorities have said a caller requested police before the call was cut off. The 911 operator called back and got another man believed to be the suspect who said there wasn't a problem.
Officials are investigating whether the state police dispatcher followed procedure.
