Telephone

While the Baker Camp is busy playing a game of Telephone, I thought it would be good to look at a few things regarding the calls made on the day the McStay family disappeared. Joseph (or his phone) made 3 calls to Chase Merritt 3:03 – 1 min 3:32 – 2 min 4:18 – 3 min. Joseph had a call to his phone from the house phone at 4:25. Interesting to note, by Chase’s account, sometimes he was reluctant to pick up Joseph’s calls because he could talk a lot. Yet, here are 3 in succession that are relatively short. There was a voice mail check at 4:27 – 4 min and 4:31 – 2 min. Joseph’s phone received a text from Summer McStay’s phone at 5:05 to which Joseph did not respond. The next outgoing communication to anyone was 3 1/2 hours later to Chase Merritt. He did not pick up and there was no reattempted call.
