I didn’t realise it was the Indooroopilly Police Station I had in my phone and so, I just hung up.”
He said his sister texted him and he called her back.
“She just called to say … ‘I’m in the car, where does Al normally walk? What routes does she take?’ And that’s when I told her and she said ‘righto, I’ll go there straight away’,” he said.
Baden-Clay agreed he phoned his wife again at 7.02am.
“I kept getting her voicemail and you can see they were very short calls, so I probably just said ‘please call, please’ or something like that,” he said.
He said he kept calling because he thought the noise of the phone would attract her attention more.
The accused said either his father or his daughters made a call from the home phone at Brookfield to his wife’s mobile.
“Pretty much as soon as Dad got home, I don’t know exactly when that would have been, but it would have been around 7am because he called at 6.56am and he was on his way,” he said.
“I basically, when he arrived, I went out pretty much straight away.”
Baden-Clay said he called his sister and they updated one another on what was happening.
He said his sister asked him what his wife was wearing.
“She was just telling me where she’d been so I could make sure I wasn’t, you know, we weren’t sort of crossing over each other’s search areas, that we were doubling up,” he said.
The accused said he sent a text to his wife’s mobile and then made a call to his staff member Kate Rankin, who had planned to attend the real estate conference with his wife that day.
“I tried to call Kate just to find out what their plans were for the day, and it appears as though I didn’t get through to her and then she’s called me straight back,” he said.
“I wondered if maybe Al had just walked to her house or something.”
Baden-Clay said he called his sister again and asked her if she thought it was too early to phone police.
He said he first dialled Police Link then, growing impatient with the automated voiceover, called 000.
“I still didn’t think it was an emergency situation so I just called that general number … and it seemed to be going on forever and … then I called the emergency number,” he said, sobbing and then blowing his nose loudly.
