VALLEY SPRINGS, CA - Despite saying Monday an arrest would happen in the "near future" in the Leila Fowler murder, no break was announced Tuesday.   In fact, it was the first day in several that the Calaveras County Sheriff's Department didn't hold a media briefing.

Eight-year-old Leila was found stabbed to death in her Valley Springs home on April 27.  Her 12-year-old brother, also home at the time, told police the intruder was a white or Hispanic man, 6 feet tall and muscular, with long, gray hair.

At the Fowler home Tuesday, a large rental truck was parked in the driveway, and a number of items were removed from the house and loaded in the truck.  

Also Tuesday, at a nearby pond, divers were in the water, continuing the search for evidence.

One other new element of the investigation involved dogs from the FBI brought to the scene. The dogs are trained to follow blood.

ECHO SUMMIT, Calif. (AP) - California's last snow survey of the season is bad news for the millions of state residents who rely on the snowpack for their water.  

The state Department of Water Resources found the water content in the snowpack on Thursday was 17 percent of normal, an ominous situation for a state that depends on a steady stream of snowmelt to replenish reservoirs throughout the summer.  

In some places, there was no snow at all.  

State officials are projecting they will deliver just 35 percent of the water that has been requested from the 29 agencies that rely on the snowmelt, which supplies more than 25 million Californians.  

This year has been one of the driest rainy seasons on record in some parts of California.

FRENCH CAMP, CA - The detention of an unauthorized person at the Sharpe Army Depot led to the decontamination of police officers for a suspicious substance Tuesday afternoon.

According to Stacy Umstead, spokesperson for the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution San Joaquin, California (Sharpe), officers at the facility stopped a woman without valid identification who was trying to go onto the property. When officers checked her vehicle, a substance that caused irritation ended up on their hands.

The 27-year-old woman, who didn't want her name publicized, said she wasn't trying to drive onto the depot but was in a parking lot to meet her mother, an employee there, to deliver pizzas for a party. She said she didn't have her ID on her so they looked her name up and found she had a warrant. That was when they handcuffed her.

The woman claimed she had been court Tuesday morning to clear up the warrant issue.
