Suicide Hotline Operator Talking To Ex-Boyfriend Again

ABERDEEN, WA—Volunteers at the Helping Heart Crisis Hotline announced Tuesday that Candice Knoff, 25, is on the phone with her attention-starved ex-boyfriend Tony Hewitt again. “Tony always calls right after he runs into Candy on the street,” said Jeanne Teal, one of Knoff’s coworkers. “He spends an hour going on and on about how he’s been so depressed ever since they broke up, even though it’s been like a year. I can always tell it’s him, because Candy’ll be over there rolling her eyes the entire call.” According to the other volunteers, Hewitt has called the hotline at least once a week for the past year, except in March and April when he was dating a waitress he met in Olympia.
