I had the same thought. We are assuming that Nala was protective and would have reacted. That may not be the case.
I remember seeing a comment from her mom that the other dog, who was locked in the house, was all out of sorts when Charli remained missing, but that Nala was Nala, big and dopey. I don't know where I read that exactly, but it was Kim who said it, and it suggested I thought that Nala was not the sensitive or vigilant one of the pair, not the brightest either. She also said somewhere else that Nala would never leave a conscious Charli, so very loyal, bonded, but didn't sound fierce or mean.
However, I think the sister (BS) who said that Charli made an unlikely target by stranger is also important. The fact is when you (bad guy looking for a woman at random) some a woman riding with a large Pitbull mix dog, impulse is likely let her go by and wait for someone without a canine protector, because you don't know the dog and you know what the breed is capable of doing when upset.
I once watched an "upset" female Pitbull half tear the shirt off my old man while he was inside a truck and had his arm resting on the rolled down window. She came out of nowhere and he had not provoked her at all. Made a lasting impression on me.
I don't think SC has some heart of gold for animals and that's why he didn't kill Nala. I think he was focused on killing Charli and he was too lazy to kill Nala too. Murder weapon seems to be blade from what we know about the skirt. Killer would have to stab Nala before Charli because even if Nala is dopey who would risk murdering a dogs owner in front of them. He didn't care about Nala because he dumped her in Nahiku and she could been hit by a car or taken for hunting. Why else dump her there?
It's like once your hear his version you can't unhear it. It clouds the mind. Take his words out of it, erase it and what facts are there? When could Nala have been taken there?

Good work guys.Sunday 8:30PM Charli picked up Steven and had Nala with her when she got there.
Sunday 10:56PM Charli's phone pinged Keanae.
Monday 1AM Steven skyped his girlfriend.
Monday 7AM(?) Steven went to work.
Monday AM Nala found at Nahiku Market Place.
I don't think Charli would want leave Nala at Steven's because then she would need to go back to his house after Keanae and get Nala instead of just going straight home to Makawao and she had work Monday morning. If Nala was left at Steven's it would be because he drugged or hurt Charli there before driving to Keanae.
If SC brought Nala to Nahiku Market Place he was in Nahiku some time between 9:30PM-10:30PM, 11:30PM-12AM, or 3AM-6AM and those are max possible times but I don't know how long he was on Skype.
Between 8:30PM-1AM is barely enough time to go two trips out Keanae, Nahiku and is not enough time to also murder and hide maybe burn SUV. So I don't think SC went home and picked Nala up and drove back to Nahiku that night unless it was after he skyped his girlfriend and before he went to work.
Good work guys.
I am wondering how we know definitely that he skyped his girlfriend and for how long? MPD has his phone records but has not made them public.
Something to perhaps note is that fromtheladle said someone reported seeing SC "miles past Hana" on Sunday night, in a car not his own. When you live around Haiku, "past" Hana is continuing around to maybe Kipahulu or even farther, could even be that he made the circuit through Kaupo. Keanae and Nahiku are not past Hana, are on the road to Hana.
heartgoesout, it was an SUV, not a truck, so there is not any division to keep the dog separate, just a rear cargo area and back seats.
SC never made a public comment about the skull ornament that I have seen. It was family that mentioned distinctive headlights.
As to how they knew Nala was with her, I am not sure if there is video of the family saying that before they spoke to Steven on Tuesday. I have always assumed that Charli had Nala with her when she left her sister's house. Her other dog was at her home. Had Nala not been with her at the sister's home in Haiku, then the family would question how she was with her when Charli supposedly got to SC's house in Haiku. That would have meant driving to Makawao, picking up Nala, and then driving back to Haiku to "help Steven." Not likely at all for a tired pregnant woman. You're in Haiku for dinner and a party, you don't drive to Makawao and back to make another stop in Haiku.
The family has never questioned that Nala was with her, so I presume when they last saw Charli, she had Nala in the 4Runner.
