I think it's unfair to suspect of someone's whose missing during a big crime while anyone would think she is in a real danger right now. Especially, that the investigators who have been there after the crime and watched the seen by their eyes mentioned frankly that they don't believe of the girl as a suspect BASED ON EVIDENCE found there. (According to what mentioned on those links you all inserted).
I also do NOT tend to believe of the girl as a suspect. When I read this story for the first time with its apparent scenario, my first thought is a "Revenge" as a motive to the crime. In addition, I don't find it strange that the mother went to hide in the bathroom. We were not with them to know/realize how horrible/terrified was the situation, what really had happened? May be that was the best thing she can do at that moment.
DEPENDING ON THE INFO MENTIONED ON THOSE SEVERAL LINKS YOU ALL PUT:
I can put a scenario to what happened, it's a hypothesis based on the info provided. A 911 call came in at 12.53 am. (
There are some little differences in the times mentioned in those links, I took one of them) So, there is something was going on shortly BEFORE this time. Maybe 5 minutes ago or even 3 minutes ago. This time was Monday AM, it's considered late, it's not weekend. I expect people to be sleeping at this time especially students. So, I guess the girl was sleeping when the breaking happened.
About the parents, they might be sleeping also and woke up on the sound of the door-bell or knocking. It was a late time for visiting, so the father could suspect of the visitor, and wouldn't open the door immediately. That's what made the killer/s still knocking on the door.

'There is a report that someone allegedly knocked on the door and as the father went to answer it gunfire erupted through the door. That has not been confirmed yet as it's an active investigation,' the FBI source said.

This info wasn't confirmed yet, but IF THIS INFO got confirmed later, it surprises me that the intruder didn't wait more and decided to fire throughout the door. I guess the voice of shot will be clear, and their are neighbors or anybody else who could hear and come for help. Although, they did it. According to me, I would think of him/them as if they know the family's father. If this were random, they wouldn't waste their time trying and waiting someone who don't open the door to them immediately. If the shot broke through the door, the father most likely would be injured but still alive. Meanwhile, the intruder/s was still trying to break the door. So,there would be much noise& horror. I expect the mother to be terrified at the moment that the intruder who shot her husband through out the door will succeed finally to break into her home quickly. Because they are trying right now. If she thought to help her husband, it wouldn't be a good idea because she wouldn't mange since they still trying to break the door. She would get shot,too. They have "GUN". She has NOTHING, therefore she decided to hide in the bathroom and trying to give a 911 call. It's the most important thing and the best way _ in her mind_that could save her family's life especially if the police could come during a few minutes. She didn't speak because it's not a good idea to let the intruder/s feel that she is here. She is right in this point. And the call itself _even if she gave one ring_ to emergency was enough because, this call will be considered an " ALERT SIGN" that there is someone in danger. It's illegal/irresponsible to be ignored _if the caller didn't speak_ in my opinion. They already can understand that the one who gave them call in danger and that's why he couldn't speak at that moment.
Now I imagine the mother hiding in the bathroom while giving a 911 call, without speaking (silence), the father whose injured,maybe near of the front door, was alive. He could have yelling before their breaking, but AFTER the intruder/s succeeded to break into his home, if he got another shot, he might not be able to yell loudly.
Let's see what they said:

'lot of yelling' and loud noises could be heard in the background.

They mentioned that they don't know who was yelling and yelling at whom. But I wonder if they can't recognize the voice of the yelling to be for male or female or both. It's not provided.
If the mother were hiding in the bathroom and couldn't be able to speak in the phone, and the father got injured in another spot of the home, he might not be able to shout if he got multiple shot. Who did stay ? The girl !
I guess that their daughter was yelling, and also the intruder/s. In addition, If they didn't shot the father again immediately after they broke into his home, I would think of an angry conversation in a yelling way toward him.
Quote:
A responding officer found "the door has been kicked in."
' injured father answered the door to cops before dying from gunshot wounds

This point, I don't understand, I think it's a language problem. I understand that the door was broken by the intruder/s. So if the door were open, what does it mean "father answered the door to cops before dying". If the door were already open, they can enter home without waiting a response.
- I noticed that the killer didn't kill or even think to shot/hurt the family dog although it was there depending on what I understood.
Maybe the killer love dogs. And if he didn't kill the dog, it most likely he didn't kill the girl, too. So, I also tend to believe that she is ALIVE but in danger, of course.

The family dog was there when deputies arrived, and was eventually taken to a relative's home.call.

There is one and the last note, I'll write it later in another post.
