Missouri - The Springfield Three - missing since 7 June 1992 - #16

Janis says that when she entered the house, it was dark and she couldn't really see anything. She fumbled around trying to find a light and finally got the ceiling fan light in the living room to turn on. This is when she noticed the VCR and cable box being on. IMO, if she could barely see in the living room, this tells me that the living room TV was not on or else the light from the TV would have helped her see better. So that means Suzie's room was the one with the staticky TV with the volume turned down. But the VCR being on in the living room would suggest that Sherrill watched a movie that night.

Seeing this sequencing in a source/2017 source: Lights off, tv on, screen snow. Out of the shadows, little dog comes towards them, dog's distraught. Then, they head towards the bedrooms.

That definitely sounds like living room tv. They can't see the screen of a bedroom television is snow from the living room.

But it could go either way. Why do I say this? The sources are just all over the place. There's so much conflicting information, it's difficult to know what went on. But much appreciated because you're noting this "single tv on" (Suzie's) point, the review of case thread from what I saw is saying the same thing on the tv, Newsweek is saying the same thing on the tv. So totally agreed, that sounds like the best thing to go with.
