As for the article written by Lenore who describes a neighbor, Hall, who mentions that the family kept to themselves. All i have to say is that they are a large family with many kids. It's obvious the parents take part in their children's events.
Possibly having such a large family, work, keeping up with various childrens' agenda would prevent them from socializing with neighbors (unlike someone with only 2 children). They definitely seem to be involved in their children's lives.
Dave Clark, newscaster on KTVU morning news, reported about the Placerville attempted abduction and its possible connection to the Fowler homicide. I am not quoting here, but he mentioned something to the effect that authorities are looking into any possible connection to the attempted abduction in Pittsburg. It was how i even found out there was an attempted abduction in Pittsburg, as i was unaware.
I did not get the impression from the news comment that there was anything other than the commonality of being recent brazen child abductions. It is prudent of LE to look at all recent child abduction/ attempted abduction cases when investigating a case such as this.
I cannot find an internet link on ktvu.com, and i don't see video replay of this morning' s report. This was reported around the top of the 6am hour.
We are strong for our spouse. Which means, for us, we need to be rocks for them when they need us. Sometimes we don't know how BEST to be rocks, but we try.
My family was torn by something horrific that happened to our daughter and early on *I* started to lose it. My wife grabbed me and told me in no uncertain terms that I needed to be strong for her because SHE was losing it. From that point on, any emotional outbursts I had were done in private.
And more importantly -- for some families, our pain is private and not to be shared with strangers be they well-meaning or otherwise.
Questions about families reactions as see on news reports should be right out the window as far as discussions go. Being on the INSIDE of such a thing, I can tell you that the media is not very good at accuracy (both in facts and by accidental or deliberate omission).
Remember, we are seeing a "key-hole" view here. You can't get a good impression of someone or something from a 5 paragraph print article or a 3 minute news segment. They're not designed to convey evidence or detail but to give the public generic information about "the story" -- and sell time to advertisers.
I work literally around the corner from the attempted kidnapping in Pittsburg CA. Do you have a link to the Pitrsburg case being investigated in connection with the Placerville one? I am just curious because I have not heard anything about it at all recently. The sketch they have released doesn't look anything like the guy that was arrested or the description on the suspect in LF's murder, IMO at least. TY
Okay so we have the attempted abduction of the 15 month old - arrest in that case.
We have the attempted abduction of the 2 year old - no arrest but sketch and vehicle released.
We have the killing of Leila - no arrest, no sketch, no vehicle.
Will someone please start a thread for the 15 month old and 2 year old's cases???

Oh okay, the sketch is for the 2 year olds case.

There is NO sketch in Leila's case.

So far, despite an extensive manhunt and beefed-up security at schools in Valley Springs, authorities don't have enough information to name a suspect or even create a composite sketch in the death of Leila Fowler.
You know, my husband used to think I was a bit overboard for being paranoid my kids were going to get kidnapped. (Ok, I did, too, I guess--especially after that trip to Disney where I wrote their names in black Sharpie on the soles of their feet...took about a month of baths for that to come off.)

Investigators have discovered some knives possibly used in Leila Fowlers murder. http://cbsloc.al/ZnXjFW
Despite the headline what they are really saying is that what they went back to the house for was to collect the knives to test to see if they were used in the attack on Leila? Wouldn't they have collected all visible knives when they were there the first time?
If it turns out that one of collected knives was used in the attack, that is not good.
