Thank you Bravo. [emoji4]
Her friend thought Danielle fell asleep. Simple as that. Maybe DS complained of being exhausted, which would explain why she may have chosen to spend the night. The friend may have fallen asleep herself, then slept most of the day because she had to work that coming night. She too may have been exhausted.
The only thing I see in the length of time between expecting a guest and going to look for her is nothing more than an unfortunate choice. I see zero actions that would damn or discredit her choices. I'm sure in a bazillion years the idea that DS would be abducted would never cross her mind. What are the odds?...
Generally speaking..
We don't know anything except that DS is missing, and speculation about loved ones making mistakes is both hurtful and against TOS here in WS. Coldpizza JUST warned us not to go there, yet it still goes there. *slaps forehead*.

Respectfully BBM.
At the press conference, Danielle's mom stated the last communication with her was at 4:15 PM on Friday with the friend she was having dinner with that night.
I agree it's entirely possible that Danielle mentioned to the friend during that conversation she really wasn't feeling like coming over after all -despite having planned on doing so- because she was tired, not feeling very well, etc., maybe even telling the friend, "I'm going to have to stop by my apartment and take a power nap, so if I'm running late, no worries." Plus, she was scheduled to work the next day at 8 AM.
I have seen pictures of Danielle and the friend from throughout the years; in some of them, they look like they are not even old enough to be in elementary school, while others are from as recently as this past year. As far as I can tell, they truly are lifelong friends. Due to their closeness, perhaps Danielle felt comfortable enough with the friend to tell her she had to make a minor change their plans at the last minute if she indeed needed to.
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the friend eventually fell asleep herself or even got busy with something else after waiting for a couple of hours. This is a woman whose infant son was taken from her in the most horrific fashion just a little over a year ago: Maybe sleep is something that no longer comes easily to her, so when she can, she gets as much of it as her schedule allows; there are also medications that make one drowsy, difficult to wake up, etc.
Bottom line, I do not believe she is involved. I just feel awful for her right now. This wasn't something she needed, especially with all that she has been dealing with.
