Woman confesses during 911 call

Police found the husband’s body after the caller told a dispatcher she’d killed him.

CLEVELAND (AP) — After the 911 dispatcher asked the caller for her phone number, she plainly told him: “I killed my husband.”

The dispatcher again asked Annette Cobb for her number.

The 37-year-old gave her phone number. When the dispatcher finally asked “What’s the emergency?” Cobb repeated, “I killed my husband.”

“Just now? Hello,” the dispatcher responded.

“Do you want to come ... do you want to send somebody or not?” Cobb said.

Police say they found the body of 57-year-old Rick Cobb in his home early Friday morning. The Cuyahoga County coroner’s office says Cobb died of stab wounds to his upper body.

Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Anita Laster Mays set Annette Cobb’s bond at $1 million Tuesday. She remains in jail and has been referred for medical treatment and psychiatric evaluation.

A female dispatcher took over midway through Cobb’s call: “You said you killed your husband?”

“He is dead. He’s laying on the floor,” Cobb said in the call made shortly after 12:30 a.m. Friday.

“He’s laying on the floor right now?” the dispatcher said.

“I stabbed him to death,” Cobb answered.

Cobb had no attorney listed in court records. A message seeking comment was left with the public defender’s office. She has a preliminary hearing set for June 4.

Neighbor Earl Cence said he saw the couple arguing from time to time, but noticed nothing out of the ordinary in the 11‚Ñ2 years they lived next door to him on the city’s west side.
