really!!!
If he is innocent he does not know whether his father called or not. Fact!!!!
So he might be using sloppy police logs to say he did. If he is innocent its worth a TRY!!!!!!
There is not a chance he is innocent but even if her were innocent he would know his father didn't call the police before he did because police would have handled things very differently including telling him about such call and that help was already ont he way instead of asking him things they already would have obtained from Nevill.
Anyone who suggests they would have asked Nevill's address, phone number, age, the age of Sheila etc from Jeremy after speaking to Nevill already are full of crap.
