"As soon as she comes over, she runs into the back room, and says, 'grandpa, grandpa.' And I get [ the guitar] hooked up for her. She plays it without any encouragement. She wants to do it on her own," Dennis Fowler said.
"There's no logic to this. I have a hard time believing, trying to understand why something like this could happen," Fowler said. "There's no motive to do this."
Fowler said his son and fiance felt so secure in their Valley Springs neighborhood it wasn't unusual for them to leave doors unlocked. He speculated it was someone stealing things from the house Saturday, who came across Leila and her 12-year-old brother.

Looks like Leila lived with her father and her father's fiancee.
The police disagree with grandpa's speculation that this was a robbery gone wrong.
So, now we know:
Dad: Barney Fowler
Dad's fiancee: ???
Mom: Krystal Walters
Paternal Gramps: Dennis Fowler
I don't know anything about the living environment or other family members at this time.

A vigil was held for Leila tonight. Didn't see any indication as to whether family attended or spoke. Just a quote from a family friend.
"She was really, really sweet, but had her shy moments, happy little girl, cared about a lot of people, a lot," family friend Kennedie Pekarek said.
