Note: Bowers:0513pes (TORONTO) The Kincardine woman who claims she called police with important information about the Julie Bowers case, but was never called back, took the stand again today. Joanne Collins is testifying at the trial where Julie Bowers is accused of the murder of her 11-month old son. Bowers claims her son Dusty was abducted from the car while she was doing some banking. But Joanne Collins has testified she saw the baby seat empty before Bowers went into the bank. Collins says she called Kincardine police to tell them that, and was not called back. When told about the fact there was no record of the phone call, she elaborated a bit. Collins says she spoke to a woman, was passed over to a man, gave her name and phone number and told him she saw Julie Bowers in her car in the parking lot. She says ``He specifically asked me if the child was in the car seat and I said no.'' Collins says she never received a return phone call, and waited 22-months before giving her statement to provincial police.
