Utah officers say mysterious voice called them to rescue baby
Mar 09, 2015
Four police officers rushing to an overturned car in an icy Utah river say they all heard the same thing: a mysterious female voice calling out “Help,” from inside the vehicle.
But the driver of the car was dead and her 18-month-old daughter, while still alive, couldn’t have been the speaker.
It was a mystery that continues to haunt the officers – and may never be explained.
Officer Jared Warner of the Spanish Fork Police Department was one of the first who came to the rescue of tiny Lily Groesback, who was strapped in a seat in the back of her mother’s car, which was precariously hanging upside down in 40-degree water.
“We’ve gotten together and just talk about it and all four of us can swear that we heard somebody inside the car saying, ‘Help,’” Warner told Deseret News.
More on this…
Utah baby girl saved hours after car crash killed her mom. But when they flipped over the midsized car, they discovered a 25-year-old woman dead in the front seat and Lily unconscious in her car seat.
“The only people in there were the deceased mother and the child,” Officer Bryan Dewitt told the paper.
Officer Tyler Beddoes said they can’t explain it, but have no doubt they heard it.
“It wasn’t just something that was just in our heads. To me it was plain as day cause I remember hearing a voice,” Beddoes told the Deseret News. “I think it was Dewitt who said, ‘We’re trying. We’re trying our best to get in there.’ How do you explain that? I don’t know,” he said.
Nobody knows exactly how the infant survived hanging upside down for nearly 14 hours in her car seat with no food or water. As she dangled, icy water rushed just below her head through broken car windows as the vehicle sat perched on the bank and rocks. The temperatures were near freezing throughout the night and through the morning.
“It’s heartbreaking. Was she crying most the night?” said Beddoes, a 30-year-old father of two. “It’s a miracle. . . She was needed for sure elsewhere.”
Police believe the accident occurred when the baby’s mother, 25-year-old Lynn Groesbeck, struck a cement barrier on a bridge and careened into the river late Friday in Spanish Fork, about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City.
She was driving to her home in Springville after visiting her parents in Salem, Spanish Fork police Lt. Matt Johnson said. Investigators don’t know what caused the crash, he said. There were no skid marks or signs of mechanical failures in the car.
Police don’t suspect drugs or alcohol as a factor but are awaiting toxicology test results. Maybe Lynn Groesbeck was tired or distracted, Johnson said, adding authorities weren’t ruling anything out.
Beddoes said the family has thanked him and the other officers for helping to save little Lily. As he recalls the events of those chaotic moments, on a frigid but sunny day, Beddoes still can’t believe the girl survived — and still can’t make sense of that undeniable voice coming from the car.
“We all got together and we all heard the same type of thing,” Beddoes said. “We just can’t grasp what we were hearing.”

Great post. I used to be checking constantly this weblog and I am inspired! Extremely useful information specially the ultimate part :) I maintain such info much. I used to be seeking this particular information for a very lengthy time.

You are welcome and thank you for your positive post!
DeleteThank you for your post! No, I do not send out newsletters. And the amount of "email forwards" I receive have diminished, too. I lost my emails forwards email login and couldn't' access it anymore. Such is the life! But I still have PLENTY to add when I get the chance. Not as often anymore.
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean about losing a long post - or even a short one!! I have learned to copy it first, before I hit "post". That way, if it gets lost - I can just paste it again! And sometimes, if you hit the back arrow, it will show up. Thanks again for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed this post. I still enjoy looking through these posts myself! I never tire of them! Thanks for visiting my blog. I do appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes inspiration can seem hard to understand. I have found when I really need help, I can ponder on things and I receive inspiration! It is most helpful.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this post is a bit different from inspiration. I believe that when we die, our essence, the part of what makes us who we are, is separated from our bodies and this essence, or our spirit - goes to another place. It would appear in this story, the mother's spirit - that part of her that left her dead body - was still present and able to communicate to the people still left on earth and let them know her baby was in the car and needed to be rescued.
I hope this does not confuse you further!
Thanks for interest in my blog!
