Spalding County Firefighter Alleged to Have Taken Video of Dead Victim

There are stunning allegations against the Spalding County Fire Department.

Investigators say that a firefighter responding to a deadly car crash took video of the victim's body with his personal cell phone and shared it with others.

A combination of police and fire crews rushed to Highway 19-41, just outside of Griffin to a spot where a pink cross now rests, just before midnight on July 17.

"It was a very violent and a very horrific crash," said father Jeff Kempson.

The coroner told family that Dayna Kempson-Schacht died instantly.

The 23-year old mother of two lost control of her car and crashed into some trees.

Her parents say they thought they would never again feel such pain. But they were wrong.

"It was bad enough that we lost our daughter. And now to have to deal with something like this, it's just beyond words," said Kempson.

Two and a half months after her death, her father got a text message about a video, taken by cell phone. It's 30 seconds of up close images of Schacht's crash, including her dead body.

The audio is two first responders talking about what they see. "Hold that down there. Oh my god."

"One asked the other to move the flash light on to her body and when he did that, you can graphically see the severe head trauma," said Kempson.

Spalding County sheriff's investigators confirm the video was taken by a Spalding County firefighter on his personal phone.

Fire Chief Kenneth West says the county attoey told him not to comment on this case. But the sheriff's department says the firefighter who took the initial video, first shared with others in the fire department. Then, an unknown firefighter took the video to a bar, where he shared it with and texted it to other bar patrons. And from there, the video spread

"How could someone, first of all, take the video. And second of all, how could they show it and discuss it," said Kempson.

The Kempsons say their daughter has been disrespected -- victimized again by someone the public should be able to trust.

"When I close my eyes, it's not fair that that video is what I see of my daughter," said mother Lucreta Kempson.

At this point, investigators don't believe taking the video and sharing it breaks any laws.

The county is looking into any possible policy violation.
