Me, either. I was looking at an arial view of the home yesterday. It looks to me like there is an addition that juts out a ways from the front of the house, like perhaps that is the garage that was converted into another room. Then there is a carport in the back on the same side that looks to be attached to the house as well, and possibly a kitchen or some other room between those two additions. So it makes absolutely no sense to me why the intruder would even be in the "garage" unless Clint meant the carport. I know many people refer to a carport as a garage when it is attached to the house. And if the garage had been converted to a bedroom, family room, whatever... why would they still call it a garage?
My SIL and her hubby just built a house a few years ago. It has a sort of carport/breezeway between the garage and the house, open on the front and back sides. They don't use the garage to park vehicles though, the carport is big enough for 3 vehicles, so the "garage" is more of a storage room.
I could be wrong, but I don't think the intruder was ever in this converted garage, I think he accosted her as she was going to her car, which was parked either in the carport or close to it, and that carport was where Clint saw them first, and then as he led her into the woods.
Also John-somebody on HLN said yesterday that the reason why LE wouldn't let anybody go into the woods until the K-9's arrived was so as not to confuse the dogs' scent trail. Too many people roaming through those woods would throw them off.
