Mothers handwritten plea for help led Las Vegas police to boys remains in freezer, 911 call reveals – KLAS – 8 News Now

Complete 911 call made by Clark County School District Police

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) The 8 News Nows I-Team has obtained the 911 call that led to the arrest of Brandon Toseland, 35. Toseland is accused of killing his girlfriends son, Mason Dominguez, 4, whose remains were found in the freezer in the garage of a home on Saddle Brook Park Drive in the northeast valley.

The call came into 911 dispatch the morning of Feb. 22 from a Clark County District School Police officer requesting a welfare check on a home.

The school police officer said school staff believed the students mother had contacted the school through notes she sent with her daughter as a plea for help telling school officials her boyfriend was holding her hostage and that she feared her son was dead.

In the call, the officer explains the first-grader handed the notes to a social worker when she walked into school. Administrators checked the childs school records to verify the mothers handwriting.

Please help, send police, there are guns in the house, read the note.

The call ends with the dispatcher saying police are responding to the welfare check.

An arrest report first reported by the I-Team details police found Masons remains in a freezer. Detectives believed the remains had been there for at least 10 weeks. Police also found a large hole in the backyard that may have been intended as a grave, the 8 News Now I-Team first reported.

Masons mother told police that she was locked in a room and separated from her children for months, and that she had not seen her son since Dec. 11, 2021.

The mothers attorney Stephen Stubbs said Masons mother and her older daughter were often locked in separate rooms, but that she devised a plan in December 2021 to write notes for help to send through her daughter.

A pen and sticky notes were in the car, and the mother was only able to access them for a few moments at a time, when she was hand-cuffed alone in the car as Mr. Toseland dropped off or picked up the 7-year-old daughter from the gate across the street from the school, Stubbs said. Fearing death if she was caught, the mother was able to write notes, little by little, and hide them from Mr. Toseland. 8 or 9 sticky notes were written. Then, 2 days before the rescue, Mr. Toseland finally allowed the mother to sleep with her 7-year-old daughter, and the mother coached the daughter on what to do.

Toseland currently faces two counts of kidnapping and one charge of open murder. He is due back in court Apr. 7.

Metro police: Alright, and is this a house?

CCSD police: Yes. So this is all we have, we have a first-grader [REDACTED] that handed some sticky notes, or like post-it notes, to the social worker this morning when she walked into the school. They thought that she had found it in the cafeteria. So, reading the notes, they found that shes stating, basically, the mom said please help, send police, there are guns in the house. And they have a Metro officer name Contact Las Vegas Metro Police Department officer, name Southeast Command Ryan Levy.

Metro police: Okay, so it says, please help, send police, there are guns in the house, contact LVMPD officer Ryan Levy?

Metro police: Okay, so it looks like the mother gave those notes to her daughter.

CCSD police: Yes, and we didnt know, originally the principal said we found it in the cafeteria, and I said did you guys go back to the cameras to see who put them there? So then she said said no, it was a social worker they gave it to. So I go back to the address (on the note), I look it up, and it goes back to the first grader there. Its her address. Theyre also giving me a plate, it says 601ZZX on another note and it says white Nissan Altima. And it says please help, call my mom or sister, tell them to call police for welfare check. And then on the other note, it says theres guns in the house. So, the student, shes in class, theyre gonna pull her out and theyre gonna bring her into the office, but we just wanted to set up that welfare check with the mom. Mom most likely gave that to her daughter.
