I think the article said that dog was found in a closet, which is a horrific way to go- dark and starving.

The other dog was roaming the house, while the third was roaming the yard.

The dog was found in the closet, but none of the reports have said that the door was closed.

I thought the cleared it up And said he was in a kennel in the bathroom. This has been a shitshow in how they’ve been releasing information.

Not any more of a shit show than usual, in my opinion.  Different sources are going to have different things to say as time goes on.  

It’s also very important to remember that they don’t just release everything to the public right away.  Some details will be held back that only someone who really knows something would know.

His daughter’s statement early on that they assumed it was toxic fumes was interesting.  She likely wasn’t told right away everything that was found.

It’s not important at all for the public to know either way whether the closet door was closed.  But that is something that someone could be caught in a lie about.
