Chilling 911 call reveals scene where neighbors found man dead in Charlotte County

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. —

A chilling 911 call on March 8 described a gruesome scene in Charlotte County where neighbors found Paul Bradley dead, leading to the arrest of his caregiver, Shannon Giblin, who deputies say reportedly confessed to stabbing him.

The caller described the scene, saying, "There's blood everywhere." Bradley's truck was missing, and his live-in caregiver and roommate, Giblin, was also gone.

The caller said, "He was covered with plastic, so I think she did it." Giblin and Bradley's truck were later found in Sarasota County that night, where investigators said she confessed to stabbing him.

The crime scene tape has since been removed, leaving only a "No Trespassing" sign. More than two weeks have passed since Bradley was found, and neighbors are still in disbelief.

"Who had the nerve to do something like that?" said Donna Borges, a neighbor from the Ranchettes.

Court records reveal that Giblin told detectives she had been staying at Bradley's home for nine days, during which time she claimed he was verbally abusive and made sexual advances toward her. However, neighbors described Bradley as a "happy-go-lucky guy" who was friendly to everyone.

Deputies were sent to Bradley's house on the morning of the incident after he expressed a desire to kick Giblin out. Giblin later told detectives that she confronted Bradley about being kicked out, and the two separated.

Investigators reported that Giblin reportedly said she grabbed a knife and walked toward Bradley, and when he grabbed her wrists, she cut his arm. Following her reported confession, Giblin was arrested and accused of second-degree murder.

Giblin is scheduled to appear in court for criminal arraignment on April 20 and is being held without bond.
