I could see Karen getting the wrong dispatcher, then calling Clint back - hoping with all her being that everything was okay and Clint would say something like "Holly's here. It was just ____ and they were looking for his dog" - before she called 911 again.
My parents' property is 1 acre. The house is set back from the road a bit. From the back yard to the end of the property is a fair distance. I'd have trouble giving a detailed description of someone at that distance. It might have been hard to accurately determine his height if he wasn't standing up straight - he might have been leaning over if he was dragging Holly.
Clint was probably not concentrating on what the guy looked like. He was probably somewhat panicked and trying to figure out what to do.
Also, if Clint were making it up, he could easily make up a detailed description and sound certain of it.
I have two sons and a daughter. In the similar situation, I have no doubt one son would go charging after the pair, consequences be damned. The other son thinks things through more and likely would hesitate, going through various if-then scenarios in his head.
It's puzzling to me why dogs weren't able to track her - something that casts suspicion on Clint's story.
While I don't think Clint could have disposed of Holly's body in the 20-min time frame, it's possible he could have had a confederate who drove off with Holly. I have no idea what Clint's motive would have been, but with family dynamics, there are often all sorts of undercurrents.
