I'm not a parent so this is my best guess on what I would do and my thoughts on it.
I would probably try to get in the house too but I could see not wanting to break in as that would look really, really bad if someone heard/saw you doing so and then come to find the daughter is missing. After all, family is usually the first to be speculated about.
I do agree that 39 minutes is a really long time. I could see searching frantically and freaking out for maybe 15 minutes tops. Probably had to figure out what to do with the baby too. Maybe it took him a while to find a neighbor that was home? And then when the guy opens the door and sees this strange man having a panic attack, probably wants to know what the heck is going on, so then he rehashes the whole story before they call.
I guess I could think of reasons why it took so long but in my opinion it shouldn't have been more than 15 minutes after he found her.
He left the baby in the bed the ran to the house directly across the street and called 911 and police were there within minutes. AT that time a lot of people were already home so Im sure he saw several houses that looked like people were there. Its not even that I think he did something bad, something about it just bothers me.
Here is a photo of her parents and little sister. The look on her mothers face is heartbreaking. Link
