Okay, while digging in my garden this afternoon I had time to think about the situation with a clear mind. First to answer my own question the reason there was no Rada battle for the last character I played Markarth with is because I didn't play the Skyrim Dark Heart quest line. So..since the place where my daughter is stuck is the beginning of the last three quests of Markarth and it's known as the Skyrim Epilogue the end of the Dark Heart saga, the game ended it there for me.

Since my Daughter actually played the Skyrim quest line the only conclusion I could come up with is that she missed a quest.

When my main was playing Cadwell's Gold, for all practical purposes it appeared I had completed the quest line, but Cadwell had nothing to say and the last Quest was bold but had no check mark. After some research I found that others had had the same problem. The solution was a missed quest.

It seems the only way you get to know you screwed up is nothing happens, so I had to look for every black triangle I could find until I found the one that progressed the quest line.

If anyone else has had this issue and has any idea where the missed quest could be help would be nice, otherwise my recommendation to anyone else and to my daughter is BACKTRACK!
