Assuming the mattress store opened at 9AM he was up pretty early to buy a mattress. The credit card was authorized at 10:23AM. He called police at 10:49AM. What time was the morning run scheduled for?
9:45AM to 10:23AM equals 38 minutes to purchase mattress (and possibly dump old mattress).
10:23AM to 10:45AM equals 22 minutes to inform police of missing wife (tidy up and get ready for police inerview).
