Sheriff Dept press release re: Daily Update: Leila Fowler Homicide Investigation

(Valley Springs, CA) Calaveras County Sheriff’s Investigators will continue the area canvassing of residences in the Rancho Calaveras subdivision today, May 5th. Yesterday, we were able to complete fifty percent of our intended canvass area. The investigators were tasked with contacting residents in over 300 homes in the overall effort that began on May 4th.

Dive recovery teams from the Calaveras and Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Offices were also deployed to two small reservoirs near the Fowler home. This is but one more evidence search and recovery method used to solve the murder of eight year old Leila Fowler. The dive recovery missions are expected to last throughout the day.

The daily press briefing will be held today at 1:30 pm at the Valley Springs Sheriff’s substation.
