Here are the first calls for help made by a former state trooper after finding his wife and children murdered.

David Camm was acquitted last month in the murders after spending 13 years in prison. Camm made a frantic call to the Indiana State Police to report the murders.

Police found a horrific crime scene. Camm's wife and son on the garage floor, his daughter still in the family SUV, all shot to death. Bullet holes could be seen throughout the vehicle.

Camm, who resigned from the Indiana State Police just four months before the killing was now the one and only suspect.

"I cannot believe this. I cannot believe this," Camm said in an interview.

"What do you mean? You cannot believe what?" a detective asked.

"You are going to try to blame me for killing my children," Camm said. "I did not do this."

Much of the evidence hinged on Camm's bloody sweatshirt. Was the blood transferred from the victims when he tried to help them or proof he was there when they were killed?

Time and again, he insisted he was innocent.

"I didn't do this. I didn't do it Mickey. I didn't do it. I didn't do it," Camm said.

Camm was convicted twice and successfully appealed those convictions twice. He was finally found not guilty by a Boone County jury last month.

Dispatch: Indiana police radio, Patrice. Can I help you?

David Camm: Patrice, it's Dave Camm. Let me talk to Post Command right now.

Dispatch: Okay, he's on another line.

David Camm: Right now (shouting). Let me talk to Post Command.

Dispatch: Hold on.

Post Command: Dave?

David Camm: Get everybody out here to my house now!

Post Command: Okay. All right.

David Camm: My wife and my kids are dead. Get everybody out here to my house.

Post Command: Okay, David. We got people on the way, okay?

David Camm: Get everybody out here.

Post Command: Everything's gonna be okay.

David Camm: Everything's not okay! Get everybody out here now! (shouting)

Post Command: Go to David Camm's house now. Do you know what happened, David?

David Camm: No. They're dead. I just got home from playing basketball....Oh, my God. What am I gonna do? Get everybody out here! (crying)

Post Command: David, they're on their way right now, okay? I've got everybody coming. Listen, I'm gonna let you talk to Patrice. I've got people coming.

David Camm: I've gotta get across the street. I've gotta get some help. I've gotta go across to my parents' house.

Post Command: David, do you need an ambulance?

David Camm: I've gotta go!

Dispatch: Dave? He hung up.

Thats terrible. I can't imagine coming home to that and then blamed for it. Being a cop and a 'child killer' in jail while being innocent..

I don't know.

I live in Lebanon, Indiana where his last trial was held that ended with him being found not guilty. To me if you have to try someone three times to get a conviction to stick, you might not have the killer. I wish him the best, and hope he sticks it to them with a giant lawsuit. We all in Indiana have always said he was innocent.

[cinman1802000]

Wrong. ALL in Indiana have not said he is innocent. Quite the contrary, actually. Evidence is overwhelming that Camm murdered or was responsible for the death of his wife and children. He was twice found guilty. The 1st two convictions were thrown out due to appeals filed by the defense. The 3rd trial resulted in a not guilty verdict. Case was simply not proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Not innocent, not by a mile.

Yes not all have said he was innocent but a huge majority did. Evidence was not overwhelming, evidence was tainted as well as expert testimony being a joke. All at the hands of the prosecutor, they already had the killer but someone had a vendetta.

So what was the motive if it wasnt the cop were they raped or robbed?
