A transcript of the prank call by a 13-year-old Tennessee boy to the LDS Missionary Training Center in Provo. The boy was placed in juvenile detention where he could remain for up to three years.
Call taker: Hi, this is Jared. Thank you for calling for your free Book of Mormon from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Can I please have your telephone number first?
Boy: (Gives fake phone number, name, age and address) I just wanted to talk to somebody and tell you that my mother died, and I really need God in my life.
Call taker: The Book of Mormon is definitely a good way to find God.
Boy: Oh, my God, thank you so much. ... I shot my mom.
Call taker: OK, what was the address?
Boy: Dead!
Call taker: Hello?
Boy: Hello.
Call taker: Hello? What was the address?
Boy: Don't call the cops.
Call taker: I won't.
