As I recall, the dogs didn't HIT on that house, per se...they lead the handlers to that house....not sure if a big difference.

The people were supposedly there when LEO conducted their door knocks in the next few days.

The man did a short interview in the paper....saying he met the VD's and Danielle on FRIDAY when she sold him cookies.

You are most probably correct. "HIT" may be miscontrued.

An empty house next door sure seems like an inviting place for a kid to want to explore, especially when mom and dad are both gone for a while. (which they were on Friday afternoon.)

It also seems a likely place for someone to take a child they just kidnapped to, before transporting them.

So many possibilities.
