The husband of a 21-year-old mother who was kidnapped, raped and killed plans to sue a sheriff's office over how it handled a witness's 911 call about her disappearance. Nathan Lee blames Charlotte County sheriff's officials for not saving Denise Lee, whose body was found buried in a wooded area on Jan. 19, two days after she was abducted from her home in neighboring Sarasota County. Michael King was charged with killing her. Lee's attorney gave the sheriff's office the six-month notice required by state law before suing a government agency. He said he will pursue a settlement.

"I want to make sure that somebody else isn't going to have to tell their kids that that their mom could have been saved if the proper training was put in place," Lee, the father of two young sons, told NBC's "Today" on Friday.

Nathan Lee claims the agency failed to dispatch a deputy to respond to an emergency call from motorist Jane Kowalski, who called 911 on her cell phone.

Giving a precise location and a description of the car, Kowalski thought she might be witnessing a child abduction when she saw someone inside another car screaming and banging on the window. She was actually describing Lee with her alleged captor.

Three other 911 calls regarding the abduction, one from Denise Lee herself, were routed to the Sarasota County emergency center and deputies from that county were already searching for a green Camaro.

But Kowalski's call gave details on its location and direction of travel, and Charlotte County authorities did not dispatch a deputy. Coincidentally, Denise Lee's father is a Charlotte County sheriff's sergeant.

After an internal investigation, Charlotte Sheriff John Davenport briefly suspended two 911 center workers and ordered remedial training.

Sheriff's spokesman Bob Carpenter said Friday the agency has a policy against commenting on pending litigation.

King is awaiting trial. A lab has matched King's DNA to evidence found on Lee's body, according to court filings by the prosecution.
