My guess is to show that he was overwhelmed. Obviously the defense will say it’s grief. He only asked about her once as far as I can see. At no point during the 911 call do you hear him calling out her name or any of the other things one might expect. Doesn’t seem to express a great deal of concern about his daughter. Sort of a “where is my daughter? Oh she ok!” And that’s the end of his concern. So the defense will likely say he didn’t do the kind of things one might expect because he was having a panic attack.
