There is 911 in Rockport and Gloucester. I noticed the same thing...he corrected himself. The frantic call that is stated in the articles are that the husband called the friend frantically.....so if you little girl was missing at the ocean wouldn't 911 be all you could think of...not the Police dept's business line?

"He said, 'You gotta help me, you gotta help me, she's missing, she's missing,'" said family friend Dan Rapp, describing the frantic phone call he received from Caleigh's father.
"He said that his wife was at the waters edge with the dog, playing with a ball," said Rapp. "The ball went into rough water, she went to get the ball and when she turned around, the daughter was missing."
I'm not implying that the mother wasn't frantically calling....but wouldn't it be odd not to call 911?
