Police officers say that shortly after midnight on 12-12-12 in the Fort Worth suburb of Richland Hills, they received an emergency 911 call.
The audio recording of the call shows a man saying quietly, “I shed some innocent blood.” When the dispatcher asked him about what he was saying, the man responded, “I inscribed a pentagram on my son.”
Why?
“Because it is a holy day.”
Then the man hung up.
Within moments, the police received a call from the mother of the boy calling from a neighbor’s house, crying hysterically and asking for help.

The police arrested the man, Brent Troy Bartel, 39, and charged him with aggravated assault of a family member with a deadly weapon. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.
