The teenage brother of a girl found dead in the burned garage of their family’s Littleton home was charged today as an adult with felony arson and manslaughter.
The bond for James Meyer Jr., 15, was set at $500,000.
Meyer’s 13-year-old sister, Jessica, was found dead June 7 in the burned garage of her home.
An initial autopsy conducted June 12 found Jessica’s death to be “consistent with a fire-related death,” according to Arapahoe County Coroner Dr. Michael Dobersen. Results of toxicology tests done after the autopsy have been sealed at the request of the coroner’s office.
