Yeah, it was his dad and he didn't say he was at the bay or fishing in his new boat.

I know he called Laci & left a message, but when he spoke with his dad around the same time, has escaped me.

He called Laci shortly after leaving the house. I would guess that it was to note his "left home" for police. He called her again after leaving the Marina which was the "left Marina" time for police.

What he didn't know was that the dog made it home in record time.

Interestingly, the dog didn't go to the door of the house or in the backyard (the gate was open) but was hanging around "in the street" in front of the house....kinda like where Laci's trail ended with the policedog.
