Reporter Why don't you tell us ,in your own words, what happened? I understand you last saw your daughter
at 2.30am, she was sleeping in her bed?
AB Ah, that's what, time her mother told me she went and checked on her.
Reporter So, you didn't go in and check as well?
AB No, I was asleep.
Reporter So when was the last time you saw Zahra?
AB. Um, it would have been, probably Thursday night, and then I got up early and went to work.
AB: Well, I.. 100%... genuinely, saw my daughter... out of bed? ... would've been Tuesday.
Tuesday?
And normally I come in late and she's in bed so I'll open the door and check on her, um... I think she was there Friday night...I opened the door and it looked like she was in the bed. She's also had a stomach virus, lately. So. When she's sick, I don't want to disturb her after all she's been through.
Now do you mean Thursday or Tuesday or Thursday?
Um...
That you saw her.
I saw her... on Thursday.
I don't trust him one bit. There's too much detail about the reasons why he doesn't see his daughter and he's not sure what time it was. There are all the ums and the hesitations and the inconsistencies, and his inflection sounds really doubting saying he thinks he saw her Friday night. His language gives him a lot of outs because he says things like "probably" and "would have been" and "it looked like", "I normally check on her" "I think I saw her" instead of "I checked on her and saw her on Xday at about 2 am."
And he overdoes it with 100% genuinely etc. which is a red flag about a liar for me.
Other notable quotes from the wsoct video include
"At the moment I'm not 100% sure" when asked what happened to his daughter. Maybe it's just me but this sounds he's got a pretty good idea. He goes on to say the police have told him they can't rule anything out, but he's just a bit short of 100% sure?
After telling what he did Saturday morning:
"and that's.. pretty much... the whole 100% truth of what I completely know so far, everything else is just sort of bits and pieces coming"
WAY too many qualifiers there for me to take it as the complete truth.
(Asked if his wife was in any way involved in his daughter's disappearance)
... until they have completed their investigation I can't honestly say.
If someone tells you they can't tell you honestly it's quite possible that they aren't telling you honestly.

IMO he's lying about the last time he saw his daughter because there is way too much hedging and inconsistencies. He got mixed up and said he saw her on Tuesday. He said that that EB told him that she checked on her Saturday night and in the 911 call he said "We checked on her", including himself. JMO.
