ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Authorities have released the 911 tape of a man that a mother asked for help after she said her children were trapped in a car in a South Carolina river.

A man on the tape released by Orangeburg Emergency Medical Services on Wednesday tries to give an operator the car's location and information about the children. He can be heard asking someone at the scene for specifics.

When asked if the woman driving was also trapped, the man responds that she got out.

Twenty-nine-year-old Shaquan Duley was arrested and charged with murder after authorities say the story of the wreck didn't make sense.

Investigators say Duley confessed to smothering her sons, ages 18 months and 2, before strapping them into their car seats and rolling the car into the river in a desperate attempt to cover up her crime.
