The red-brick home off New Bern Avenue is a supervised living group home for adults run by Autism Services Inc. The center has said residents are staying with their families or at other facilities.
"Blood is everywhere," the unidentified man told a 911 dispatcher as he strained to move the woman to the floor and perform CPR.
Thompkins worked at the group home as a counselor. When police arrived there were six clients and another counselor in the home. Thompkins had a laceration on the left side of her face, according to the document released today.
Police began searching the home shortly before 10 a.m. Friday. Investigators recovered blood samples, bedding and clothing from the clients' bedrooms, more clothing from Thompkins' boyfriend and co-worker, an ink pen and a caulking tool.
Anyone with information about Thompkins' death is asked to call detectives at 996-3555.
