The daughter of a Tampa man killed in December is raising questions about a 911 call placed before he was found dead.

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A woman accused of killing two exes in one day pleaded not guilty in Hillsborough County on Wednesday.

Susan Avalon was arraigned in connection with the death of her ex, Timothy Fletcher, who investigators say was killed in Tampa on Dec. 17. Authorities say Avalon then drove to Manatee County and killed her ex-husband, David Scott, hours later.

Last week, 10 Tampa Bay News uncovered new details about a 911 call placed from Fletcher’s phone before he was found dead, raising questions about how it was handled.

Fletcher’s daughter. LottieGrace Snow, saw the report and said it was the first time she’d heard that her dad ever placed a 911 call. 

Snow said she recently began rebuilding her relationship with her father before his death.

“That’s what hurts a lot, I could have had a relationship, but it all got taken away from me,” Snow said in an exclusive interview with 10 Tampa Bay News.

She described her father as someone she admired.

“He was very hardworking and determined,” she said.

Snow said she is now attending court hearings and speaking out on his behalf. She also clarified that despite early statements from police, her dad has kids with Avalon, but the two were never married.

“I feel like I have to talk for him now and be his voice,” she said.

Part of that effort includes raising concerns about the 911 call placed from her father’s phone just before 12:40 p.m. the day he died.

According to court records filed by the State’s Attorney’s Office, the call may have captured sounds consistent with gunfire before it disconnected. A dispatcher called back, and a woman answered, saying it was accidental. No officers were sent.

Tampa police said procedures were followed, telling 10 Tampa Bay News the call showed no signs of distress so the response was canceled.

Snow said she struggles to understand that decision.

“If there’s a 911 call and it’s completely silent, they should go out, I think,” she said.

Investigators say hours after that call, Avalon went on to kill another ex in Manatee County. Fletcher’s body was not discovered until after that second killing.

Snow said she may never know whether anything could have been done differently.

“Honestly, the killing could’ve been stopped if they came. Why didn’t they show up?” she said.

She also said she supports prosecutors pursuing the death penalty.

“I hope my dad gets justice,” Snow said.

The Tampa Police Department denied an open records request for the 911 call, citing the open investigation. After the court, the prosecutor declined to comment for the same reason.

Avalon is due back in court in Hillsborough and Manatee Counties in July.
