Bases Awarded??

Need help on this one.

Runner on 1st base and no outs and batter 1 hits a pop fly to 2nd base. The runner at first does not tag and run all the way to 2nd base. The baseman catches the flyball for out number 1. After the catch, the runner at 2nd base takes about 2 to 3 steps and heads back towards 1st base. But the 2nd basemen throws to 1st base for the double play, but throws the ball into the dugout.

The baserunner was only 2 to 3 feet off 2nd baseman and heading to 1st base when the ball went into the dugout...
What is the correct call on where runner 1 should be?

Thanks....
