Anndel Taylor Sent Her Family A Gruesome Video Before She Was Found Dead
While trapped in her car for at least 18 hours before she was found dead, a 22-year-old woman died in the massive snowfall that hit New York State, sending her family a heartbreaking video.
Anndel Taylor was stranded Friday afternoon trying to get home from work in Buffalo, becoming one of at least 28 people killed in what Gov. Kathy Hochul called “the storm of the century.”
She sent her sisters in North Carolina a series of videos, the last of which showed her slipping out of an ice-covered window just after midnight to reveal a nearby van that was also stuck with its emergency lights on.
“I told my sister she was scared,” one of Taylor’s sisters, Shawnequa Brown, told WSOC-TV.
According to her family, who spoke to the media source, before she was spotted on Christmas Eve, she was said to have been locked in her car for around 18 hours.
“He called 911 and waited for her,” his mother, Wanda Brown Steele, told the TV network.
But “everyone who tried to reach it got stuck,” added another of her sisters, Tomeshia Brown.
Anndel Taylor “Firefighters, police, everyone was stuck,” he said, asking why the “snow state” doesn’t have emergency vehicles ready to respond during a monster storm.
According to her mother, Taylor shared in a group chat with her sisters her intention to rest and then try to get to safety if help hadn’t arrived when she woke up.
According to her report to WSOC-TV, the mother desperately urged Taylor’s relatives in Buffalo, New York, to “return from there.”
The distraught mother said: “Then they opened the window and saw that her daughter was there.”
Taylor’s mother believes her daughter probably died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
“The car drove and the snow kept falling so it clogged the pipes, the exhaust pipe,” he said.
“After the car was parked, it then froze.”
