What do we know about outgoing calls showing up as private other than when the caller dials *67 to block their number prior to making an outgoing call? Is that *67 still good everywhere?
I think some land line providers have an option to block the callers number on all outgoing calls but I don't know much about it.
anyone?
I believe to activate caller ID blocking, you can either do it on individual calls by entering *67 before the number, or you can do it for all calls through your calling plan. At least thats how it works for Verizon (ref at link). It doesnt seem that LE had looked at the phone records yet when PB made her post about coming up as private on Aug 13. Maybe at that point they were going by what showed on Bobs caller ID? As we know, her account doesnt jive with the 10:00AM comment from the reporter that he said came from officials.

Do private incoming calls show up on Verizon phone bills or records?
If you don't answer the call, a private number will not show on the bill, if you do answer, the bill will display "private" on it.

I called my dad that morning by telephone,
he had obviously been getting quite a few phone calls that morning. Then I realized that my BIL was there and I DID hear him say he was going to the "hardware store". My dad responded to him in a favorable way. I told my dad that I would let him go and talk to him later. That was the last time that I spoke to him. Times vary as I could not tell you the exact time that I called Dad,
I gave an approximate of sometime between 11 and 12 and found later it was probably after 11:30 a.m.
On August 13, 2009, daughter PB posted LE has looked at D's phone records - know because they did not know which phone call was mine, because I came up as private.

September 16, 2009, Detective Corinne Loomis references result of checking phone records: Loomis said they are close to exhausting all their leads in the case, but continue to do follow-up work. "There is no movement on any bank account or credit cards," Loomis said, adding that Harrod did not have a cell phone and
calls made to and from his home before he vanished don't point to anything suspicious.

Officials have said that at 10 a.m. July 27 there was a phone call to Bob Harrod, which is the last time anyone other than Jeff Michaels verified he was at the house. Police are not releasing the content of those phone records.
