Have you ever read the books? It's a little more complicated than that. In one of the books he solved a mystery that involved thwarting the efforts of a millions of years old alien ghost. Weird, yeah. There was a time machine involved, and there ended up being two of this ghost left wandering around, thwarted, by the end of the book. Dirk realized that now he's a ghost himself, knowing there's two ghosts wandering around his homeworld who have a really good reason to hate him, he might not want to go home until he's in a less vulnerable state again.
Had to be. Actually if it had been from the same town, no red flags would have been raised and I'd be screwed. Apparently it was the new Zealand thing that really tipped them off.
