unemployment error... hundreds of iowans who incorrectly collected thousands of dollars in unemployment checks may not have to repay the money... why officials say it would cost more than it's worth to collect it... buck of a lifetime... that's what an iowa man thought he got after a hunting trip in 20-14... did it caused controversy... how state legislators could now change the way iowans hunt of spring.. where they're causing problems along the des moines river right now.. from who h-d iowa's high channel 13 news at nearly three quarters of a million dollars in unemployment checks paid out mistakenly by iowa workforce development last year... may never be recovered. good evening. i'm lynn melling. thank you for joining us has been a member of the workforce created should be able to keep those checks because it wasn't their mistake. money its worth. mike dasilva has the story. 02:12:27--35 it was really workforce developments fault. iowans came forward and pointed it out and said i want to return the check and they said no.' that's why state senator bill dotzler believes the iowans who received unemployment checks in 2014 due to an error by iowa workforce development...should be allowed to keep that money...even though they got money that they weren't supposed to. dotzler, who's a non-voting member of the iowa workforce development board, is proposing that iowans should not have to pay the cant get blood out of a turnip and when somebodys been laid off and they dont have any resources, youre gonna have to go through procedures of garnishing wages and all that. andy roberts of the plumbers and steamfitters local union 33, is the chairman of of the iowa workforce development board. roberts is in favor of dotzler's proposal. 01:50:15--24 'i just feel that what its gonna cost for the state of iowa taxpayers to recuperate this money is far more, outweighs the amount that youre gonna receive back in.' both dotzler and roberts think that money would be better spent trying to go after folks who try to defraud the system intentionally...and to make sure that mistakes like this don't happen again. the taxpayers we spoke with agree. 01:58:58 'and i think that what they should do is look at preventing this things from happening in the future rather than trying to go back and reclaim money thats already been dispersed because trying to get that back is just gonna waste more money.' 01:59:13 02:00:11--23 'because thats government agencys error so, and the money plus it cost them more. 02:01:00--16 'i think that its time to just drop it, because it was a big snafu obviously. errors abounded and i think it would be more costly to go after it and it would tie up a lot of peoples time i mean think they should just forward.' senator dotzler will deliver his proposal to the board this friday. a spokesperson for iowa workforce development director beth towsend said the townsend is waiting to see which direction the board des moines police got a break in 71-year-old woman. it turns out their suspect is the man who was shot and killed by urbandale police. ali yahia... the same man involved in a shootout with urbandale police on february 13th... is accused of breaking into norma jean mcneeleys home on january 24th. she was brutally stabbed to death. police say yahia tried to cover be the victim of a crime. investigators found a bloody scene inside. they collected samples from the home and followed a bloody trail away from the crime scene. tests confirmed that d-n-a matched a known violent offender. police say yahias death basically closes the murder investigation.. which comes as a relief to some neighbors. 02:02:40 it's just a horrible thing and it would be horrible to happen to anybody, but they were just so vulnerable and the crime was just so atrocious 52 norma jean mcneeley lived with her sister who is disabled. the murder and heard her sister being time. a des moines woman is accused of fire. 47 year old amy thornton is charged with "attempted murder" and "willful injury." police say she lit the man on fire while they were arguing originally claimed it expected to recover. thornton remains in the polk county jail on a 110 thousand dollar bond. jury selection is underway for a his wife. investigators believe 41 year old alexander fazzino killed emily fazzino... her body was found on a bathroom floor in the home

the most recent delay allowed fazzino to care for his daughter as she recovered from a bone marrow transplant. more than a year ago, joe franz harvested what many called the buck of a lifetime... but did it caused controversy justin surrency explains how his innocence is now causing legislators to change hunting laws in the state of iowa a judges decision to clear joe franz friday of with hunting over bait charges was more than personal 'i think the verdict that was handed down today is a victory not only for my family and i but also for all the hunters in the state of iowa because i think its been a landmark decision.'in august of 20-14 franz bought land outside of the melcher dallas area in marion county in preparation to hunt palmer, a large buck many considered a lifelong dream... 'such a beautiful creature.'in october, franz fulfilled that dream... 'i never imagined in a million years that id be so fortunate, i thank god for the opportunity.'but over a year later the d-n-r accused him of hunting over bait 'any time bait is in the vicinity and obviously being used to attract wildlife to the area being hunting.'franz areas previous owners and made sure they wernt an issue by calling the filming the process... 'i contacted the dnr officer a he instructed me to cover up the everything was good.' "the dnr shouldn't be trying to make it more difficult to thin the deer herd than it needs to be"republican state senator mark chelgren hopes to pass new bills to put an end to what he believes are vague baiting laws... "across the state it's been handled differently based on the interpretation of different what we need done..."the dnr says they are willing to change "we want to be able to work with both legislators and hunters to come up with something people can understand in the field..."and it's what franz wanted to see, but now, despite the victory he's no longer sure if he wants to be a part of... "i have no plans to go hunting anytime soon, it actually feels like part of my soul has been ripped out." another issue state senator chelgren hopes to address is the d-n-r's authority to take a hunter's items before they are convicted of any charges... franz has been without his bow, rifle and trophy buck since the accusations were brought forward... the d-n-r says it will return the items... warm weather means.. melting snows.. and ice jams.. in recent days, jams have caused damage and closed roads in boone county. ben oldach reports that despite dodging destruction or major flooding, areas along the des moines river aren't out of the dnr expects roads to reopen in the next few days.... again though, boone county is paying close attention to the ice jam near fort dodge. we've been watching flood warnings around the state.. and some are still in effect tonight. meteorologist brett mcintyre has details.. brett.. it seems spring has sprung it will be quiet and cooler this week. this evening will remain cloudy with temperatures dropping to the low 30s. a cold front will move through during the morning on tuesday which will could bring a quick rain/snow mix there's still much more to come tonight.... coming up next.. teens have heard the warning's for years ... tanning is bad for you. but now there's a tool that allows healthcare professionals to show kids the damage that may already be done. how the "dermascan" is opening kids' eyes. from who h-d iowa's high watching the channel 13 news at nine on fox there has to be a way. carry the centimeter, divide by 3.14 something something something...

"i feel like procrastination on law enforcement side may have constituted injustice on my side. so although i can't prosecute danny heinrich i feel that there's a lot of other victims that haven't received answers as well." danny heinrich pleaded not guilty to all 25-pornography counts in court today. the white house and russia are talking, as president obama and vladimir putin have reached a ceasefire agreement on syria. the obama administration calls it a moment of opportunity, and says the u-s will try to capitalize on it. but as john huddy reports, the agreement will be anything but easy to implement. as isis carried out suicide attacks in syria, the u-s and russia hammered out a cease-fire plan to stop syria's civil war, at least temporarily, starting saturday . the u-n's spokesman said today quote- "exerts influence on the warring parties" to reach a long term cease-fire. dujarric says: "above all, it is a long-awaited signal of hope to the syrian people that after five years of conflict there may be an end to their suffering in sight." but syrian president bashar al-assad, and the rebel groups his regime is fighting, must also be willing to hold their fire. over the weekend, assad said he would agree to a truce as long as it didn't help "terrorists". one of the factions russia and syria considers a terrorist group, is the al-qaeda linked, anti-assad, nusra front. the cease-fire plan excludes the nusra front and isis. but the high negotiations committee - the group representing syria's opposition factions - said it would accept a cease fire with conditions, one of them, that syria and russia stop bombing the nusra front. earnest says: "this is going to be difficult to implement... we know there are a lot of obstacles, and there are sure to be some setbacks." after several other failed doubt this will be any different. but russian president vladimir putin called the agreement a "real step forward" that can stop the bloodshed". even if cease-fire happens, it doesn't mean the war will end in syria, as the us and russia will continue to fight isis, and isis will continue its bloodshed. in jerusalem, john huddy, fox news. donald trump
