WARNING: The following is a 911 call made by an individual at a double-murder scene. Some of the descriptions are graphic. 

Patch.com obtained the audio Thursday of the Oct. 3 911 call made from 10 Terramont Drive, where a neighbor discovered the occupants, Gary and Helen Wells, stabbed to death. 

On Oct. 3, Gary Wells, 78 and his wife Helen Wells, 77, were discovered after the housekeeper Shirley Rogers couldn't get anyone to come to the door that morning. Rogers went to next door neighbor Douglas Doughty to ask for help.

When Doughty peered through a window of the home, he saw Gary Wells laying on the floor in his own blood. 

The 911 audio, obtained by Patch from the Greenville County Sheriff's Office through the Freedom of Information Act, paints the picture of what Doughty saw. 

"I'm at 10 Terramont Drive," Doughty said. "Uh, we found the neighbor —he's laying on the floor. There's blood everywhere. He's dead." 

Doughty told dispatchers that the front door was open, and that he had walked in to discovery Gary Wells covered in blood, stiff, cold and "totally white" in complexion. 

About midway through the call, Doughty said "Oh, Helen... there's two bodies," with dread as he discovered Helen Wells, also stabbed to death. Doughty told operators that he found Gary in the den or office area of the home, and Helen in a back bedroom. 

Doughty also described a possible murder weapon. 

"There's a knife laying on the floor near the female body in the back room. I don't see any guns," he said. "There's bloody footprints. I don't know, both bodies are totally bled out." 

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office has not identified a suspect in the murders, though a sketch has been released of a man who may have been in the area at the time of the slayings.

Disappointed in Patch

Releasing this audio on Patch has negatively impacted my view of this site. It serves no purpose except to satisfy those who take pleasure in other people's misery. Sure "people have a right to..." whatever, this is in extremely poor taste.

I think it is so sad that you would release the 911 call .I think it should have been kept confidentual and the guy good enough to report it should be confidentual. That is why people dont want to get involved in things when it could be of some help..

I don't think that it is sad that they released this tape I think that it should be up to the individual if they want to listen to the tape if you don't want to listen then don't listen. I think you should be saying its sad that this happen to these good people its really sad that at Helen and Gary age that they had to end there life this way. They should be enjoying life with there family and grandkids but know there life was cut short Because of some scumbag lowlife Piece of garbage now that is what sad I hope they get the person who done this. May Gary and Helen wells rest in peace
