This morning, a 911 call from a reported domestic situation between Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie are providing some insight to the time leading up to her disappearance.

And today we're looking at emergency calls that became pivotal evidence in some of the most shocking legal cases ever tried.

All right, George, what's your last name?

Miles Harrison says he still has not forgiven himself for the death of his son Chase in the backseat of the car.

On July 8, 2008, Miles Harrison dialed 911 after discovering that his 21 month old adopted son Chase had been left in his SUV outside his workplace in Herndon, Virginia.

Harrison, who lived in Purcellville and had intended to drop Chase at daycare in Ashburn, had had followed his normal commute pattern and forgotten the stop.

I go into my office and I work a complete day.

At about 5:00 o', clock, a colleague of mine comes up to my office and says, hey, do you have a doll in your car?

In the call, he can be heard screaming that his baby is dead.

Prosecutors charged Harrison with involuntary manslaughter.

On December 17, 2008, a Fairfax county judge acquitted him, ruling the Commonwealth had not proven criminal negligence beyond a reasonable doubt.

The incident became known as a tragic example of what is often described by experts as forgotten baby syndrome.

You were charged with involuntary manslaughter, eventually found not guilty.

And for people that I don't know, anybody that has done what I have done that ever will ever really forgive themselves.

I personally don't know how I'm going to.

Shortly after 4am on November 15, 2004, police responded to the Porco residence in Del Mar, New York, after a neighbor reported a violent scene.

Christopher Porco had been fatally attacked with an axe.

His wife Joan had sustained catastrophic head injuries.

Detective Christopher Bodish later testified that he asked Joan whether her son Christopher Porco, a student at the University of Rochester, had done this.

When was the last time you said you came down and saw your parents?

According to police Testimony, she nodded yes.

That early identification became pivotal.

Although Joan later said she had no memory of the attack and supported her son in court, forensic evidence and timeline inconsistencies undermined his alibi.

In 2006, Christopher was convicted of second degree murder and attempted murder.

I think our system is by far the best in the world, but it's flawed.

And the system is only as good as the people in it.

Adams called 911 from her BMW in Charlotte, North Carolina after being shot multiple times on Ray Road In November of 1999, pregnant with NFL wide receiver Ray Carruth's child.

She told dispatchers that Carruth's vehicle had slowed in front of hers before another car pulled alongside and and gunfire erupted.

Despite several injuries, Adams identified Carruth by name and described how he appeared to block her lane.

She's in somewhat of a state of shock at that point in time.

I'm trying to get the information of who she is and she's more concerned about telling me that her baby's daddy was the one who.

That her baby's daddy was the one who did it.

Adam survived long enough to deliver her son, Chancellor Lee Adams, but died on December 14, 1999.

That single call locked the conspiracy into the timeline, preserving details no defense theory could easily erase.

In 2001, Carruth was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and related charges and sentenced to prison accordingly.

In a week, one of Charlotte's most notorious criminals will be released from prison.

Former Carolina Panthers player Ray Carruth served nearly 18 years for planning his girlfriend's murder.

I called a little bit ago the deputy sheriff's night, and

I found out my granddaughter has been taken.

Her mother finally admitted that she's been missing.

Okay, what is the address that you're calling from?

We're talking about a three year old little girl.

On July 16, 2008, Cindy Anthony placed a 911 call from her home in Orlando, Florida, reporting that her granddaughter, 2 year old Kaylee Anthony, had been missing for approximately 31 days.

Her statement immediately reframed the case from a delayed missing child report to a potential homicide investigation.

My daughter finally admitted that the baby turned store.

Your daughter admitted that the baby is where it just said it took her a month ago.

I told you my daughter was missing for a month.

I just found her today, but I can't find my granddaughter.

She just admitted to me that she's been trying to find her herself.

Law enforcement hadn't been notified during the month Kaylee was unaccounted for.

Authorities were learning about Kaylee's disappearance more than a month after she was last seen.

Casey Anthony Kaylee's mother was later tried for first degree murder but acquitted in 2011.

Despite her acquittal, she was later convicted of providing false information to law enforcement.

I will sentence you to one year in the Orange County Jail, imposing a $1,000 fine on each count.

All four counts to run consecutive to each other.

Darlie Roodier Rootier's 911 call from her home in Rowlett, Texas, stated that an intruder had stabbed her and her two young sons, Devin and Damon.

The June 1996 call captures her pleading for help as first responders were dispatched.
