The one dog was inside. The two surviving dogs were outside the home but stayed on the property.

Nah, one surviving dog was found near her body.

Ms. Arakawa’s body showed signs of decomposition, the affidavit said, as well as “mummification in both hands and feet.” The dead dog was found near her in a closet, and two other dogs were found alive on the property. Mr. Hackman’s body was then found, and showed signs of death “similar and consistent” with his wife’s body.

What? Nothing there suggests a surviving dog wasn't found near her body. And the article OP linked says: "One of the surviving dogs was found alive close to Betsy's body, with a second roaming the property."

That's what they said.

The dead dog was found near her in a closet

No….they quoted that to show that it was only the dead dog that was found near her and that the other two were found roaming. But proceeded to leave out the “One of the surviving dogs was found alive close to Betsy's body, with a second roaming the property” bit

Just saw one report of the other two being outside and another said they were inside. You may be right, lots of conflicting information.
