Yes the fact that a friend of Sherrill's last spoke to her around 11pm, puts her at home alone then. The timeline when the girls arrive is pretty accurate and is taken as fact from most sources.
Friends of the family have made comments that Sherrill had problems sleeping, made worse by moving in a new house(fairly new to her).
I'm glad you mentioned the dog being put up....I read some stuff yesterday and most early accounts says the dog actually was put up in bathroom, not loose in house like I said before. I think this says a lot about who showed up at the house that night. If someone showed up at my house at 3 or 4 am, and if I knew them and was going to let them in my house, I would put my dogs up. For annoyance reasons to the visitors.
I'm doubting that it was normal for her to put her dog in a bathroom every night, I would say the dog slept with her.
Now if someone came to my door that I didn't know, then of course I wouldn't let them in and no reason to put up dogs.
But there's no forced entry so unless the front or back door was left unlocked, how would a stranger get in? My point is it was someone she knew.
Also there's people on Reddit saying that some family photos were taken from the house and the empty frames left behind. Have you heard this?
Thanks Texas T for the map and info...visuals are always good.

I want to be cautious in replying. I don’t want anyone to read anything into what I say.
I have over the years exchanged many email, private messages and comments on public discussion boards and I would add that most have tended to the hostile side.
Now as to the issue of the photos, the frames, etc., that is unknowable. One person who has looked at this case and has posted here numerous times has said the frames were simply not yet used as the photos were not yet ready for framing. Regardless, we can’t assume anything in the end.
I was was one of those who thought the dog had been put up in the bathroom. That report evidently came from the military newspaper in Europe, “The Stars and Stripes.” Perhaps that was an assumption and nothing more. The account by Janelle was that when she opened the door, it was all nervous and scared and jumped up to greet her as she recognized her. Although Janelle said she had not been to the Delmar house she had been to the previous apartment where she and the dog were friendly. Had she not previously been with the dog I would be dubious but there is no evidence that I know of to contradict what she has said on the record.
What is new from the Goldman interview is that Nigel was Suzie’s best friend and that Suzie always parked under the carport. We have to wonder why and it is understandable that Sherrill parked there because Suzie was not expected to be there that night.
Now to the matter of the dog which, I believe, tells us a lot. Knowing the Yorkie breed, they are excitable and bark a lot. Since there is nothing that tells us that the dog was in the bathroom it is reasonable that the dog recognized the individual who came to the house that night and was not a stranger unless perhaps it was a cop who also had been to the house and had interacted with the dog.
Let me throw this out for discussion. Perhaps Sherrill and the abductor left with the dog. Then he returned later and simply shoved the dog into the house, closed the door and left.
There was more than ample time to have done this prior to the girl’s arrival.
When Sherrill’s car came to the house, Suzie would have recognized it and would have gone to the door and that is when the abductor and the assistant would have entered the house. At that time only two women would have to be taken. Suzie would want to be reunited with her mother and likely complied. On the other hand, Stacy smelled a rat and was dragged out of the house.
Then for whatever reason the cars were moved.
Bottom line is we need someone who the dog recognized. The list has to be quite limited.
