During The Behavior Panel's discussion of Michael Peterson's body language, they mentioned the checklist that law enforcement is now using to analyze 911 calls. As I recall, they suggested Repetition, Inappropriate Politeness, and Thinking Pause as (hypothetically) indicative of guilt. (TBP is hilarious, btw, when talking about Peterson. I highly recommend.)
In the paper below the author also talks about extraneous information, possession of the problem and incorrect order:

As many people have noted Patsy oddly says "We have a kidnapping." I think that would be Possession of the Problem." "There's a note left and our daughter's gone" would be Incorrect Order. Patsy mentioning the note three times is Repetition. "She's blonde" could be Extraneous Information. Patsy saying "please" seven times equals Inappropriate Politeness. "What?" is Thinking Pause. I don't know how to evaluate "I'm the mother," but I think it should be in there somewhere, maybe in something called Distancing.
Patsy Ramsey: Police?
911: What's going on ma'am?
Patsy Ramsey: 755 15th street.
911: What's going on there ma'am?
Patsy Ramsey: We have a kidnapping. Hurry, please!
911: Explain to me what's going on. Ok?
Patsy Ramsey: There. We have a, there's a note left and our daughter's gone.
911: A note was left and your daughter's gone?
Patsy Ramsey: Yes!
911: How old is your daughter?
Patsy Ramsey: She's 6 years old. She's blonde, 6 years old.
911: How long ago was this?
Patsy Ramsey: I don't know. I just got the note, and my daughter's gone.
911: Does it say who took her?
Patsy Ramsey: What?
911: Does it say who took her?
Patsy Ramsey: No! I don't know. There's a, there's a ransom note here.
911: It’s a ransom note?
Patsy Ramsey: It says SBTC. Victory! Please!
911: Okay, what's your name? Are you...?
Patsy Ramsey: Patsy Ramsey, I'm the mother. Oh my God! Please!
911: Okay, I’m sending an officer over, OK?
Patsy Ramsey: Please!
911: Do you know how long she's been gone?
Patsy Ramsey: No I don't! Please, we just got up and she's not here. Oh my god! Please!
911: Okay, Cal....
Patsy Ramsey: Please send somebody.
911: I am honey.
Patsy Ramsey: Please.
911: Take a deep breath and...
Patsy Ramsey: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
911: Patsy? Patsy? Patsy? Patsy?
