3:15 Ross messages Leanna "What time are you picking up my little buddy?"
3:45 P.M. Ross IM's/Chats friend and tells them he is going to be late to the 5:00 P.M. movie. (How did he know he would be late?)
4:00 P.M. Ross Missed Incoming Call from Leanna
4:01 to 4:03Leanna and Ross play phone tag back and forth for the next few minutes.
4:04 Ross and Leanna have a phone conversation for a little over one minute
4:16 Ross leaves HD, pulls out in a hurry, never rolls windows down
4:21-appx 4:25 Ross pulls over and "Discovers" Cooper, witnesses report he was erratic, screaming "what have I done" Ive killed our child, and then stopping and just standing there with no emotion, just a blank look on his face. Ross lays Cooper on the pavement and begins CPR. Witness Anthony states that it looked like Ross was just "messing ' around and Anthony could not understand what Ross was doing. Anthony, states to "Ross What are you doing ?" We have to help this child.It is at that point that Ross just stops. Walks away and gets on his phone.
However long it took the above to occur, probably minutes, we can reasonably assume the following calls occur around 4:25 p.m.
LE hear him talking on the phone and specifically state that they heard him tell someone on the other end that "his child was dead". Ross later denies to detectives that he ever reached anyone on the phone.
LE Finds Three Phone Calls from his phone during that time period:
4:25 (approximate)
1. Ross Calls Leanna. She does not pick up
2. Ross Call Home Depot Corporate Center Main Number
3. Ross Calls Home Depot Corporate Center Main Number again, 6 minute phone call that is tracked back to Toddler Room #5.
4:32 Ross ends the 6 minute phone call (approximate) which was connected to toddler room #5
4:51 Leanna attempts to pick up Cooper at daycare and is notified that he was never dropped off.
Leanna immediately claims that "Ross left Cooper in the car" and is adamant that this is the only explanation
