Possible Sequence of events
12 yr old see intruder discovers sister stabbed. Calls Mom and Dad at the ballfield. Then hangs up and calls 911.
Mom and Dad after receiving call from 12 yr old hop in their vehicle and head for home, also dialing 911. if the ballfield is 17 miles or so away then that would be a matter of minutes when parents arrived home.
Mom and Dad arrive home, dad runs in and cradles daughter in arms. (I hate even contemplating that scene. Poor dad, his little princess)
Parents know that LE and Ambulance are already en route and should arrive any moment. (BTW if you read on Gold Country Topix, and under local news articles you may find some citizens of the area complaining that maybe finally ambulance service and call response times will finally be addressed)
Dad runs outside, perhaps to watch for ambulance and police cars. Sees neighbor, asks did you see anything????
LE claims the call(s) about this incident came in at approx 12:15 pm
So all LE can do is hypothesize how long after the stabbing did brother find her (presumably minutes) and then how long it took for the boy to speak with parents, call LE and that is where there "around noon" time period comes from. that plus the EMTs estimates into how old the injuries were based on Leila's condition probably was factored in to Le's initial time frame of "around noon".
Just what's rattling around in my brain.
Why would dad have taken her to the hospital? Ambulance and LEOs were already enroute. MOO
