After someone has either kicked in my door or shot in my door, whichever, I would Not barricade myself in the bathroom thinking I would be safe. So, I do not believe Denise was in the bathroom hiding.
I also noticed in the picture someone posted about a new door at the house, there are multiple windows that you could see whoever was outside if they knocked on the door.
Living that close to the highway though, I am sure they were accustomed to hearing cars driving by. Maybe even pulling in and turning around. This by most standards is not a "highway" being only two lanes. At least it wouldn't be where I live. Even though it is Hwy. 8, it also has a street name. I think there is a strong possibility they knew who this person was. Especially if James went even close to the door without a weapon.
LE has indicated he answered the door, maybe, because of his position when found. Maybe his position and the position of the splintered door. This is logical to me based on the very little information that has been released. jmo
