I wouldn't be surprised if some in the family knew and tried to help cover it up. The parents have seemingly been in a hurry to put this behind them since it happened.
If the 12 year old is the killer, I don't believe that he orchestrated the cover up on his own either.
I believe that at least the parents and the neighbor knew from the get-go that there was no intruder. LE wasn't far behind.
IMO, LE appears to have done a very thorough and professional job in this case. If the brother is the killer and there is no verified confession, a defense attorney will have a hard time trying to sell the standard line, "the police only focused on the defendant and didn't pursue other possible theories/suspects" if this goes to trial.
