this is slightly unfounded, but my opinion: i feel like the perp may be a woman.
waiting until they were asleep to be able to easily overpower them. others in the house wouldn't hear because stabbing deaths are generally pretty quiet (at least from what i've seen in TV). one initial puncture to the lungs and you can't build enough pressure to even make a sound.
if the dog, Murphy, was there it's likely he was more inclined to be accepting of a woman visiting than a man.
all entirely speculation/slightly unfounded/JMO
edit: removed "drunk and" because we know they likely had all been out drinking
