The family of the pretty Weight Watchers executive tortured and killed by her Ivy League-educated boyfriend plans to sue the NYPD for $10 million, saying cops ignored her frantic 911 call for help.
In the notice of claim filed against the city and NYPD on Monday, Danielle Thomas’ anguished relatives describe the 911 call she made more than an hour before her death in which she pleaded for help.
One of Thomas’ neighbors also called 911 about three minutes later, after hearing her screams.
But instead of rushing to the Astoria, Queens, home as boyfriend Jason Bohn menaced her in the early morning of June 24, 2012, cops instead checked on a report of an “unsupervised juvenile,” the papers charge.
“I was so heartbroken that there wasn’t enough manpower to cover both of the calls that night,” Thomas’ mother, Jamie Thomas Bright, told The Post.
“When I heard about [Danielle’s] call, I said, ‘What?’ I couldn’t believe it!” the mom said from her home in Danville, Ky.
Thomas never talked to the 911 operator. But she can be heard begging Bohn in the background, “Can I please just leave?”
Bohn tells her no and sneers, “You’re acting’’ and, “You bitch!’’
Thomas then pleads, “I will not call the police. Just what are you . . . Oh! Help! Help! Please!’’
“The call revealed [Thomas] was being imprisoned and tortured . . . and when the perpetrator found about the call, he tortured her some more as he hung up the phone,” the legal papers state.
“An investigation needs to be done so that this does not happen again,’’ said family lawyer Alan Shapey. “Danielle’s life could have been saved had the 911 system worked as intended.’’
Even Bohn, a lawyer, suggested that his victim’s family had a solid case.
In a creepy letter to Thomas from jail after her death, Bohn noted, “My attorney recently informed me of the fact that you called 911 when you first got home and I lost my mind.
“Unfortunately, the police never even came to our door, despite us having issues in the past,” he wrote. “They could have saved two lives that night. I hope your family brings a lawsuit against the city.”
“This claim, if served upon the NYPD, will be reviewed by the Legal Department,” said NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis in a statement.
The city Law Department did not return calls for comment.
