Police have released a 911 call reporting a car sinking in a pond near a resort at Universal Orlando on the same night a woman found dead in that same pond was last seen alive.

Orlando police dispatchers took the call, but said they didn't realize it was connected to a missing person's case being handled by the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Since the missing woman, Carline Brumaire Jean, lived in Pine Hills, the Orange County Sheriff's Office investigated her case instead of Orlando Police.

Police and the Sheriff's Office did not begin working together on the case until Monday night, after her car and her body were pulled from the pond.

Carline Brumaire Jean's body was recovered Monday, March 3, after a Universal security guard noticed some disturbed bushes and a Toyota hubcap floating in the pond, nearly a month after her husband said she was last seen leaving her job at the Royal Pacific Resort on Feb. 9.

That same day, the following call was made to 911:

Caller: We're on the highway, and I saw a car that just went in -- I didn't see it go in -- but it's in a lake, and there is somebody in the car.

911 Dispatcher: Where is it?

Caller: Where am I? I don't know where I am. I'm not from here. We're on Highway "W4."

We just left Universal Studios. It's by a big hotel that's being built, with lots of colors on the windows.

The pond is, like, right in front of it. But there's a car in there. There's definitely somebody in it.

The out-of-town caller later corrected herself, clarifying that she was on I-4. The hotel with "lots of colors on the windows" is the under-construction Cabana Bay Beach Resort.

Orlando Police said that 911 call was made at 4:39 p.m. on Feb. 9, less than 20 minutes after Jean was believed to have been last seen leaving work.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina said his officers investigated the 911 call but he said they didn’t see any signs of the car in a pond so they didn’t continue searching.

Meanwhile, a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said their investigation led them to believe Carline Brumaire Jean left Universal Orlando property, so they never searched in the pond behind her job until they had specific evidence leading them to search there.

Jean's family said it was only her third time driving alone. They also urged deputies to search ponds near the resort.

A spokesperson from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said their investigation also revealed Brumaire Jean may have left and went to Miami or Tampa, among other newly released information.

“What we have discovered is that the person representing himself as Miss Brumaire’s husband is actually her brother," said Jeff Williamson, sheriff's office spokesman. "The reason behind that may have something to do with immigration.”

Orlando Police Chief John Mina said investigators could only update Jean's family with one thing: "The truth, basically, that we learned that we'd actually responded there back on Feb. 9. At the time Carline was leaving work, someone had seen a car go into a pond, and that we were investigating that."

But that investigation didn't begin until after Jean's car -- with her body inside -- was pulled from the pond 23 days after she was last seen.

"Officers walked along the pond to see if they could see any sign of a car being in the pond and did not find anything," Mina said, adding his officers never sent out a dive team or used a helicopter to search nearby ponds the day of the 911 call.

Police said they were not told about the case by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, so they never connected the call about a car in a pond to the search for Jean until her body was recovered.

The Orlando Police Department has begun an internal investigation into the incident. Orlando police detectives are also conducting a traffic homicide investigation to determine if Brumaire-Jean drove into the pond because she was an inexperienced driver or because her car had some sort of mechanical issue.
