Transcript, cutting out reporter input -
Dad: No! (sounds like it could be part of a conversation he’s already having with his wife when the call connects, from differentiation in tone) … 911, 911, please!
Dad: My baby was in the car. She’s not responsive. Oh my God, oh my God!
911: And this was out in the driveway?
Dad: Yes!
911: Is she still breathing?
Dad: No she’s not breathing right now.
911: Okay we need to start CPR right now.
Dad: Yes we are, we’re starting CPR, yes.
911: I need to hear CPR, (Mom in background cries aloud) I need them to count it out for me, one two three, four…
Dad: One two three fo… my wife’s a doctor, my wife’s a doctor, she’s home. (Mom in background says something)
Mom: You left the (sounds like ‘starter’?) on?
Dad: It was but it turns off! I’ve been checking.
911: Is she breathing yet?
Dad: (to Mom) Is she breathing?
Mom: No.
Dad: No. Oh my God, baby! Baby!!
Mom: (counting compression) …3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

"My baby was in the car"
NOT
"I left my baby in the car"
He is more interested in self-preservation than truth. During an emergency to try to save Parker's life he is consciously thinking how to adapt his language first.
MOO
edited to add - the "I've been checking" is at odds with him supposedly checking the house for her when his wife arrived home. We know he wasn't checking the car, but I would say that checking the house was a charade and this statement is to manipulate the 911 call handler.
