Teen's 911 Call: My Family Is Dead

TEMECULA, Calif. (AP) ― A teenager who survived a murder-suicide that wiped out her family placed a frantic 911 call before she knew that her brother was the killer.

Fifteen-year-old Danielle Blixt of Desert Hot Springs screamed and sobbed during a 911 call to a Riverside County sheriff's emergency operator on November 11th, saying, "My dad and his girlfriend and her children and my brother. They're all beaten to death in the backyard." on Nov. 11.

Danielle is heard screaming, "They're dead. I thought they were just kidding around. I thought it was a joke. It's not a joke. They're bloody and beaten to death."

The 911 tape also has her saying, "They're dead. My family is dead. What else do you want me to say? I don't know who did it, I don't know how it happened, all I know is that they're all dead!"

The Blixt children lived with their mother in Desert Hot Springs and had gathered for a Sunday barbecue at their father's home in the Temeku Hills subdivision of Temecula.

The 911 call was released by authorities on Tuesday.
