Audio of a 911 call from a Las Vegas mother-daughter murder-suicide before a cheer competition this month has been released by police ... revealing the moment officers responded to their hotel room, as well as the missing-person report the girl's father called in.
In the audio, obtained by TMZ, the first call to Las Vegas Metropolitan PD comes in from the local fire department, asking for an ambulance response to the Rio Hotel & Resort for 2 patients at the scene ... each suffering a gunshot wound to the head.
The caller notes a medication bottle located in the room with the mother's name on the label. Later, the fire department calls LVMPD back and confirms the incident was a murder-suicide involving mother and a juvenile.
The father of Utah cheerleader Addi Smith called in a welfare check to Vegas cops after not being able to reach his daughter ... hours before authorities discovered her and her mother's bodies, TMZ has learned.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ ... Addi's father, Bradley Smith, called the cops to check on his 11-year-old daughter and ex-wife, Tawnia McGeehan, at the Rio Hotel & Casino February 15 after he hadn't heard from Addi in a while.
Once arriving at the scene, officers initially knocked on the door of the hotel room and called into the room several times without success. When they called Bradley back to see if he thought Addi could be in danger, Bradley told them he didn't believe that was the case and that she "should be safe with her mom," according to the report.
Tawnia McGeehan -- who allegedly killed her 11-year-old daughter Addi Smith in an apparent murder-suicide -- was plagued by "mean" texts from other parents on her daughter's cheerleading team, according to a new report.
According to The New York Post, Tawnia's mom, Connie, believes Tawnia had issues with some of the other moms on the team that had been boiling over.
Connie told The Post ... "There's one or two ladies that she never got along with, and it got really bad a month ago. In the last comp they had, another girl got dropped and some of the moms were saying it was because of Addi. They were texting [Tawnia] mean stuff and blaming Addi."
Tawnia McGeehan -- the mom who allegedly killed her young daughter Addi Smith and then herself in a Las Vegas hotel room over the weekend -- had a custody battle for her daughter, which lasted 9 years ... according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The papers show multiple instances where Tawnia was accused of custodial interference, but the charges were later dismissed.
In the original temporary orders from 2015, Tawnia and her ex, Bradley Smith, agreed that Addi would live with Tawnia as her primary residence, but that Bradley was to be granted parent time and joint custody.
