911 DISPATCHER: OK, has he threatened the lives of the children previously?
UNIDENTIFIED SOCIAL WORKER: I have no idea.
911 DISPATCHER: 911? What are you reporting?
UNIDENTIFIED NEIGHBOR: I just had a house explode. I think it`s a prank because it keeps exploding.
911 DISPATCHER: OK. There`s explosions, too?
UNIDENTIFIED NEIGHBOR: Yes.
911 DISPATCHER: Is anybody home?

UNIDENTIFIED SOCIAL WORKER: And people are saying there`s not somebody there. But I was just there and there is somebody there. There are two little boys in the house. And they`re 5 and 7 and there`s an adult man. He has supervised visitation and he blew up the house and the kids.
911 DISPATCHER: The kids and the -- and father were in the house?
UNIDENTIFIED SOCIAL WORKER: Yes. Yes, he slammed the door in my face. So I kept knocking. I thought it was a mistake. I kept knocking and then I called 911.
911 DISPATCHER: You saw him go back into the house right before the flames?
UNIDENTIFIED SOCIAL WORKER: He didn`t ever leave the house. He just opened the door. The kids were one step ahead of me. They are 5 and 7. They were one step ahead of me and he slammed the door in my face.
911 DISPATCHER: And you think he might have done this intentionally?
UNIDENTIFIED SOCIAL WORKER: Yes.
911 DISPATCHER: Let me --
UNIDENTIFIED SOCIAL WORKER: I was in my car. I`m standing outside it right now.
911 DISPATCHER: OK. Is that your home address?

Daddy, calm, cool, even chuckling. This is moments after he discovers his 6-year-old little girl gone? Mommy, on the other hand, hysterical. Breaking down. Heartbreaking.
