how old was the brother?

Her brother was 12.

This one is strange, even from the intro.

Who, in their right minds, Mom and Dad, leaves two kids at home without a babysitter?

Mommy and Daddy need to be held accountable for their irresponsibility.

Another question. Who gave the description of an assailant after the brother FOUND her.

Found, not witnessed?

from another article:

Leila Fowler and her 12-year-old brother were home alone in separate rooms on Saturday when the boy told police he found an intruder in the home, according to ABC News' Sacramento affiliate KXTV.

The 12-year-old called his parents, who alerted sheriff's deputies. The intruder fled and the boy found his sister with severe injuries, according to KXTV. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

a shame,, the intruder story seemed odd because it was fabricated...

VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — Authorities have arrested the 12-year-old brother of an 8-year-old girl who was mysteriously stabbed at her home in a rural Northern California community last month.

The boy, who was not identified, will be charged with homicide, Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz told reporters Saturday night.

The April 27 attack on Leila Fowler shook the tightknit Valley Springs community of about 7,400 people and set off a massive manhunt.

The boy had told police he found his sister's body and encountered an intruder in the home while their parents were at a Little League game. He described the man as being tall with long gray hair.

Police have said there was no sign of a burglary or robbery at the house.

Investigators did a door-to-door sweep of homes, storage sheds and horse stables scattered across the oak-studded hills foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Divers also searched two nearby reservoirs in search of clues.

As part of the investigation, authorities seized several knives from the home Leila shared with her father, stepmother and siblings to determine if one could have inflicted the fatal wounds. A neighbor who told detectives she saw a man flee the Fowler home later recanted the story and was discredited by police.

Leila's brother was taken into custody at 5:10 p.m. Saturday and police hastily called a news conference to announce the arrest.

"Citizens of Calaveras County, you can sleep a little better tonight," Kuntz said.

Authorities spent over 2,000 hours on the investigation "to provide Leila Fowler's family answers to her death," the sheriff said.

Kuntz said the investigation was ongoing. He declined to provide further details.

Several days after the killing, hundreds of people gathered at Jenny Lind Elementary School where Leila was a popular 3rd grader. Her mother, Krystal Walters, tearfully thanked the crowd for the support.

"I just want to thank the entire community and all of our family and friends for all the overwhelming amount of support you've given our family," Walters said at the time. "It will never be forgotten. Thank you."

I wonder why it took them so long to figure this one out? A month?

Sibling rivalry can be so deadly.

because they were to busy illegally searching peoples homes and properties in that month... i guess they have all the "data" they need, and focused on the brother...

This crime wouldn't have happened if we banned American's from owning knives! I propose that Congress puts together a bill to start banning the sale and ownership of a Knife now!

They probably had this figured out in the first couple days, they probably just wanted a rock solid case before they go and accuse a 12 year old from a family who is already traumatised.

no, they wanted to search peoples houses for a month first... but i read an article today that the father is demanding the proof they have to arrest his son, and the police isn't answering...
