>> reporter: the report is a few weeks ago an unnamed photographer found the fetus while taking pictures in the area. he was in a ground floor autopsy office when he found files and documents left after they closed in 2001. he reported finding two containers, one labeled babies that have been autopsied and in the other what he said was a human baby. the fetus has been taken to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy. it is unclear when that will be complete. >> so if he made this discovery several weeks ago, why did it take so long to find the fetus? >> reporter: the photographer alleges he called delegate eleanor holmes norton's office and talked to an aide who never got back to him. he later reported what he found to the washington post. they called council member tommy wells because that is his district. he called chief lanier and they started to search. >> what was the photographer doing there in the first place?

>> we're in great shape. we won't have to stand around in the snow like the millions in times square. i wanted to mention if you're thinking about going to watch the ball drop, they're going to be pretty watch, 38 degrees, but we will be warmer here in washington d.c., only a few clouds. it will be cool, but not cold. i think it will be about 42 degrees when the ball drops here. what do we drop in d.c.? i'll have to look into that. the winds will be light, skies very comfortable and it's a reversal of fortune. let me show you the pattern change occurring across the country and the reason why we may be pushing 60 degrees over the new year's eve weekend. big cold push descending through much of the west. you've seen some of the pictures of the latest california storm and what's going on in arizona. in the east we'll get a return floe that's quite mild and unusually mild -- flow that's quite mild and unusually mild for any time in december. we'll see temperatures getting well into the 50s as early as tomorrow. now we aren't seeing much in the way of shower activity. rain is in the forecast for part of the new year's weekend. temperatures right now very comfortable. we had some freezing rain very early this morning in the valleys and it's starting to get foggy throughout with temperatures falling. there could also be some freezing fog in the she none doorway valley later -- shenandoah valley later tonight. for new year's eve we will be dry and if you choose to stay home like so many of us do, you'll be real comfortable inside. more on the weekend and the warm-up a bit later. historical dates that are incorrect, a battle that never even happened, just some of the factual errors are found in certain school textbooks. we are investigating these mistakes next. also ahead. [ piano playing ] >> remembering the life of a legendary musician with ties to the d.c. area.  history equals facts. facts are turned into textbooks. well, except for that one 4th grade textbook in virginia. it claims, for example, that large numbers of blacks fought for the south in the civil war. not true. well, you might expect, though, that from one of the five pawns presses author who is not in the story and reportedly admitted getting some of her information off the internet. earlier i asked former national pta director byron garrett if this is really the state of virginia's fault. >> well, you know, the state does have responsibility for ensuring that what ends up on the approved list. so the state convenes educators and academics from across the state to review to assure something is approved. the challenge in this case is the state has done that to ensure it met the minimum standards thresholds but didn't look at the specifics within key items. a great example would be you look at what wars may have taken place in what year. is that covered in the textbooks? sure it, is, but did we cite the specific date which is a very compelling fact, that level of specificity was obviously overlooked on the state andy and the school district has a responsibility because they, too have a level of authority to ensure which should be purchased off the approval list and lastly one needs to recognize the publisher in this case specifically has a lot of specifically in correcting the situation immediately and figuring out how they work with both the state and school district moving forward to ensure this doesn't happen in the future. >> just to name some of those factual errors, it has that the war of independence began in 1775, that 11 states joined the confederacy, not 12. it mentioned a battle of richmond in the civil war but there wasn't even one. i mean is the state in a bind here because this textbook was on balance cheaper than most textbooks in this category. it was about $17, but it spent a half million dollars on these books and we all know the finances right now with states. >> you are in a bind. so now what it's going to force the state to do as well as individual school districts that may have done a purchase is to develop a supplemental lesson guide that educators can use to ensure that when a student is going through their material the educator is teaching that they can make sure they reference the correct information because what you don't the 2 have happen is a student -- to have happen is a student have studied age correct textbook. so school districts on the front end of this issue need to get out front and develop a lesson guide for those educators to use in the classroom and they have a responsibility to inform both parents as well as students saying we recognize there are some challenges. we're working to correct them. this is how we will work together in partnership to ensure your child is still getting a quality education even though they may have a faulty textbook. >> sounds like trying to fix the problem after the horse left the barn, i guess. do you think the state was swayed by the style of this book because a lot of independent analysts say it's written in an easy way, conversational and easy to use and maybe it was style over substance? >> i don't think it was style over substance. i think the review process speaks for itself and in this particular case it's great that you have a book that veers away from the traditional style that seems like it's more appealing in a current day context. that is truly needed from a textbook perspective and many publishers need to take note from that standpoint. however in, in this economy you cannot short change a child's education. so the quality of the textbook is what matters at the end of the day. is the child getting a quality education and have we provided them with the resource tool material in, this case a textbook, that is going to really meet that expectation and is on line with both state and federal standards. >> this is history or children are learning that happened in our own backyard. we hope whoa figures this out gets it right so that -- whoever figures this out gets it right so that ultimately the kids succeed in this. thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. at this time next week the atmosphere on capitol hill will be quite different. the 112th congress will already be in session and republicans will control the house and have more say in the senate. party leaders say they want to rein in spending, reduce the deficit and repeal the new healthcare law while democrats want to fix the economy but protect healthcare. >> we have a trillion dollars of government spending with hundreds of programs and regulations being written now and republicans are saying hey, wait a minute. that's not right. >> i think the main thing is that a the republicans should not try to undo the major legislation that we passed. >> meantime president obama is hoping to continue the momentum he gained during the lame duck session of congress and that means the president may do more reaching across the aisle. the tea part candidate famous for saying she once dabbled in witchcraft claims tonight she is the target of a witch hunt. reports surfaced of a federal campaign finance investigation into whether christine o'donnell broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses. she denies doing anything wrong. >> it appears that this is just the same thug tactics that they've been using for months to discredit this anti- establishment movement that's gaining more and more strength and putting the whole corrupt system on notice. >> o'donnell says some of the witnesses part of this case are former disgruntled staffers and volunteers. the music world is mourning one of the great students of jazz. dr. billy taylor died this week in new york. he was 89. the washingtonian with ties to duke ellington, taylor was a world class performer highly respected teacher. fox 5's bob barnard with a look back. [ piano playing ] >> reporter: jazz pianist amy bormitt met billy taylor at an emerging artist's program for young women that played the piano founded by the late great dr. taylor. >> from my perspective it's just so important to see all that he did for female musicians, female jazz musicians, getting them to the forefront of the music. >> reporter: a performer and teacher from the early days of black and white television to the digital age of now, billy taylor was mentor to many. fellow jazz educator and long time friend davey was among them. >> he was a shining example, one of the few and that's what it is, but one of the few shining examples of how it's okay to be an educator and sure, it's double duty, but it's doable. >> reporter: what do you do when you come out of that? davey says billy was proud to be a teacher. >> the whole concept of perpetuating this art, keeping this art in the forefront as it is america's treasure. >> reporter: billy taylor spent his teenage years playing the jazz clubs of u street like duke ellington before him, had graduated from the district's dunbar high school, then set his sights on the big apple. he had more than 300 compositions. >> in fact, his one koch significance i wish i knew how it would feel to -- composition i wish i knew how it would feel to be free, a civil rights song, very popular in the '60s. >> reporter: turning to teaching by the mid-1990s dr. billy taylor was artistic director for jazz at the kennedy center. >> he was one of the people who first kind of talked about that jazz was america's classical music. >> reporter: darrell iyers is vice president of education in jazz at the kennedy center. >> he had a warm smile and just a humorous laugh and always left you uplifted when you'd been with him. >> he really enjoyed working with young people. he, of course, is responsible for so many piano prodigies. >> reporter: like young amy bormitt. >> i think he just really affected such a broad spectrum of people and really exposed the entire world to jazz. >> reporter: for that we tip our hat. bob barnard, fox 5 news. nearly two dozen dogs rescued from a virginia home, why neighbors think the suspect took so many animals in. also ahead one plane ticket, that's all it would take it to satisfy a woman's dying wish. i'm beth parker, that story coming up.  we have an update now on a story we brought you tonight at 6:00. it's about a woman in need. she this is her final days and as fox 5's beth parker shows us, she has one heartbreaking wish. >> reporter: her breathing is heavy, her body swollen, but it's her heart that hurts the most. lillia bogojevich is serbian. she escaped with her children from the civil war in yugoslavia. she is now in a battle doctors say she cannot win. lillia is dying of cancer. for years lillia worked three jobs so she could send money to relatives back in yugoslavia. she waited tables at the well known restaurant orleans house in rosslyn where she met tariq calm who is part turkish. the turks and the serbs have a long history as bitter enemies. she didn't trust you very much at first. >> she hissed at me like a snake. >> reporter: tariq spent a year trying to win her trust. they blame friends once he explained to her how he felt after years of living in america. >> it's a new life for everybody here. whatever happened before happened before. over here americans are americans and we are just humans. >> reporter: tariq is at her side now 24 hours a day holding her hand. >> no matter what i do and no matter what anybody does for her, you can give her the whole world right now. it's not going to make up for her daughter. >> reporter: lillia wraps herself in the red robe her daughter tanya gave her and cherishes this photo of the last time they saw each other more than a year ago. >> my daughter. >> reporter: it is her dying wish to see her daughter tanya one more time. but when the family escaped yugoslavia, lillia's daughter settled in france. she called every single day, but she doesn't have the money for a plane ticket to washington to see her mother one last time. you want her to come here to see you? >> yes. >> she's not sad about her condition, her future. she's not sad about anything except tanya. >> reporter: for tariq it is just too difficult to face. he sees lillia's weakened body change when the phone rings and her daughter is on the line. >> you will see a totally different person. >> reporter: instead of just pushing food around her bowl, she eats and they talk. >> that's the only time you'll see her laugh. >> reporter: what would it mean for her to see her daughter one last time? >> everything. she would be a very happy person in her -- the rest of her days. >> reporter: doctors said lillia probably would not live past october. she's still here waiting. >> that was fox 5's beth parker. we have to tell you that soon after our story first aired at 6:00 tonight we received calls from viewers willing to help make this trip possible. we're going to keep you updated on how this all develops. in the meantime lillia is getting regular care from a company called vitas hospice. the hospice has a foundation that helps families with financial need and tariq started the process of applying for help to buy tanya a plane ticket. as we told you, some people may be coming through through fox 5. now that paperwork has to go first to lillia and then to france, to her daughter and back to virginia and it's not clear whether that process will be fast enough. we will keep you posted on all the developments and right now we'll be right back. you're watching fox 5 news at 10:00. police are calling it a case of animal hoarding. a manassas woman opened her home to nearly two dozen dogs, but when officers came knocking yesterday, they found deplorable conditions inside saying the place was unfit for people or animals. fox 5's stacey cohan has more. >> reporter: ma'am, do you have any comment about the seizure of your animals? >> no comment. >> reporter: this is mats in woman accused of keeping 21 dog -- the manassas woman accused of keeping 21 dogs in unlivable conditions inside this townhome. she was busy taking her belongings out of the house as it has been deemed unfit for human habitation. stickers and signs outside the home make it clear she is a dog love ever and at least one neighbor said she claimed to be running a rescue organization. >> we knew she was a dog rescuer and she took sick dogs that were in danger of dying. >> reporter: but according to authorities, conditions inside the home were also putting the dogs in danger. animal feces, acrid ammonia and trash debris covered the inside according to law enforcement. the dogs were all small breeds like these, poodles, papillions and malates. >> i think she loved those animals without any question. i don't think she had a sense of reality taking care of that many. >> when i was walking my dogs, you'd hear them going off sometimes. didn't know it was that many. >> reporter: several neighbors expressed sympathy for the woman who they believe may not have understood how bad the situation had become. >> you don't have control of the animals and they're a nuisance as far as barking out in the yard and defecating on the lawns which bring in rats. it's a sad situation. >> i felt sorry for her when they came and everything happened yesterday, but it's something that needed to happen. it's better for her and everybody else around here. >> reporter: the commonwealth's attorney did not allow any video or pictures of the actual dogs that were seized. the owner has voluntary surrendered some of those dogs, so they will be available for adoption. stacey cohan, fox 5 news. you may not know this, but new year's day is the biggest holiday of the year for stolen cars. the national insurance crime bureau reports that christmas day has the fewest stolen cars, but january 1st, 2009, thieves drove off with 2,760 vehicles. in the district the 1997 dodge caravan is the most stolen vehicle. in maryland thieves take off most with the 1994 honda accord. in virginia the 1996 honda accord is the most stolen vehicle. you might be surprised that older models are so popular. newer cars have security features making them harder to steal. the older cars are also good to strip for parts. lots of folks will ring in the new year tomorrow including teenagers, but for some the celebrating will land them in the emergency room. a new report shows emergency room visits by teens are 250% higher on new year's day than any other day of the year. the substance abuse and mental health services administration says alcohol is mostly to blame. >> when we're looking at it, we see that there's obviously greater ac tess to alcohol. there's probably a little less parent -- access to alcohol, there's probably a little less parental supervision out there and there's a lot of things out there that pair alcohol with new year's day. those things combined really create the risk factor that kids get into alcohol more. >> dr. delaney said the best way for parents to teach their teens about responsible drinking is setting a good example and talking to them often about it. a food drive in california turned into a huge success. why? a medical marijuana facility offered free joints to its patients in exchange for canned goods. fox's robert hans that the story. >> reporter: -- robert handa has the story. >> reporter: melanie is a medical marijuana patient and today donated canned goods for the holiday food drive, but from november until christmas eve melanie and other patients got a complimentary marijuana jointed for cans, up to three a day -- joint for cans, up to three cans a day. >> it's helped people that are hungry and it's helped people like me that need medication. i have this little band because i've had surgery from cancer. >> reporter: the promotion worked really well. there was 11,000 pounds of food taken in while handing out 2,000 joints to patients. granny said people might be surprised by the results, but shouldn't be. >> the collective is a very compassionate place. everybody that works here and comes in here, we're all interested in helping people, making people better. so a food drive goes right along with that. >> reporter: granny perp said offering incentive is not much different in principle from what many businesses to do stimulate donations and a very appreciative food bank agrees. >> some of our bigger contributors have been struggling to make their goals and these smaller events where these stores are raising 10, 12, 15,000 pounds of food are really beginning to be a major contributor to our coffers and so it's really important for to us find businesses that have the zeal to actually go out and make a difference. >> second harvest food bank expects to meet its goal of collecting more than 2 million pounds of food. growing criticism around a tv show popular with keen teenagers. coming up next do -- with teenagers. coming up next do shows like teen mom give the wrong message?

>> well, yes and no. it depends what you look at. they throw a lot of stuff at you. i've taken a look at different segments and researched it a bit. depending a o what you're watching you can -- on what you're watching you can really make a case for glorification or you can look at it as a teaching moment and it really depends what the take-away is for the young person. it's going to be very different from kid to kid. >> you talk about the teaching moment. i mentioned earlier show advocates say this this is a way to teach young people how difficult it -- that this is a way to teach young people how difficult it is to be a mom, but when you've got bristol palin and jamie spears bringing a lot of attention to it, are teens who are not in that position yet on get it that it's that hard? >> some see that it's hard, but they see the money and the glory and the attention that one gets and that can play to the one impulses sometimes. it really depends on the young person's susceptibility. obviously at risk kids are going to read different things into this than good kids with solid moral fabric. so it really depends who you're talking to. it's a job for parents here to be sure. >> that's what i was going to ask. what do parents do? if they that know their kids are -- i mean could this be a teachable moments for the parents to say okay, let's sit down and talk about this openly instead of putting our heads in the sand and let's watch this together? >> absolutely. and i think if the parents are well, you're not watching that and i'm not, they're losing an opportunity. the kid will find an opportunity to see it anyway on youtube or whatever the place may be. i suggest the place parent goes is to sit down with the kids, ask them what they think and then react to it and use it as an opportunity because there's a lot of material in there. obviously the producers play on the stuff that's going to catch attention and unfortunately it's entertainment. you know, it's not always informative and sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the two and they overlap. it depends a what you're watching and when you're watching it. that's where parents come in. >> would you suggest parents actually say okay, let's watch this or is it if the kids are watching it, use it as a moment? >> well, either on. if parents have open communication with their kid which i certainly encourage, by all means say i'd like to watch that with you, watch it together. they'll have different takes on it to be sure. >> absolutely. lots of different opinions. thanks very much for being here and weighing in. >> thank you. coming up in the news edge at 11:00 for many it's the happiest moment of their lives, the birth of their baby, but the days of cameras in the delivery room are coming to an end in some hospitals. we'll take a closer look at the growing controversy. two d.c. women will be rubbing elbows with the city's new mayor at the inaugural gala sunday night even though they missed out on the free tickets, the role fox 5 played in the surprise.  it's hot out there. [ laughter ] >> somebody fan this woman. >> yes, it is warm. >> it's nice. >> it's a great departure from what we've had most of december. today was the second warmest day. >> i think people are confused. i took a walk down the street and saw the earmuffs out and heavy jackets. it's habit to put it on. >> up and over 50 degrees tomorrow, that will make it the second warmest day. today want because we've had the clouds. it's great. the -- a little bit of leftover fog in shenandoah valley could produce what's called freezing fog which is basically a cloud on the ground that may drop a few droplets and get things a little glazed over tonight but not a big deal. let's check out our weather headlines for the next 36 hours or so. bring on the 50s tomorrow. we'll be up and over that 50- degree mark, the warmest potentially day since december 1st. it will be very comfortable for new year's eve including at midnight when the temperature should be about 42 degrees. there is some rain in the forecast. it will get here saturday afternoon and the showers will linger through i think sunday morning, maybe into the early afternoon near the bay or east of 95, but i think most of the showers on sunday will be in morning. so weekend a little bit wetter but certainly very mild. reagan today 47 degrees. we'll be warmer than that tomorrow. dulles 45 and bwi also 47 and tonight a few spots in the 20s, manassas down to 27, culpeper 28, but d.c. still hanging in there at a 37-degree reading. it's still going to be chilly tonight, 20s for most of the suburban areas and maybe low 30s downtown. we had a few showers pass by. this was the same stuff that brought the freezing rain conditions to the shenandoah valley, pass by us, light showers to our south. there will be more to come, but i don't think we'll be seeing that tomorrow. in fact, friday looks pretty fabulous around here. we'll be waiting for some of the pacific moisture. that is what will be heading in our direction for new year's day, but again tomorrow on the dry side. your forecast tonight, a few clouds, but colder in the suburbs into the 20s. we'll drop to 31 degrees in the district. i think tomorrow looks really nice, lots of sunshine. get the car washed, finally some 50s. we'll be up to about 54 degrees with a nice comfortable wind out of the south. so it's a sunny mild end of the 2010 year for us, 34 degrees at 8:00 in the morning. by noon we should be pushing 50 and by 4:00 53 degrees. now in the forecast high pressure is slipping off the coast. that is why we're going to see a nice return flow around it. so the south wind really heats us up. we're showing up on our weather maps just to the west being blocked out a bit longer. it's some of that pacific moisture that will be coming in that direction. the front doesn't quite get to us tomorrow but tries to move through the region slowly on new year's day into sunday. it will be spreading showers with it, but we're confident it will be liquid because of the warm temperatures. new year's eve only a few clouds for tomorrow night, cool, temperatures in the 40s and for the actual celebration we cross over into 2011 saying good-bye to this decade it should be 42 degrees around the region. pausing the max hd futurecast at 1:00, pittsburgh still on schedule for showers for the winter classic. rain comes in in the afternoon. we see lingering showers for sunday and rapid clearing west of d.c. as you look at the weekend forecast in total, 58 degrees for new year's day, how fantastic. pushing 60. i think we could get there if we didn't have the clouds and showers heading into town. sunday about 50 with a few morning showers but still very comfortable. now the five-day forecast, we keep those 50s going for the next three days and even into sunday. we get a little bit cooler monday as finally front moves on through and drops temperatures back to where they should be for this time of year, but january looks like it will start on a bright note and seasonable with temperatures in the 40s. back to brian and laura. know your opponent brought to you by mcdonald's. >> each week at this time sports director dave feldman quizzes a certain redskin about the upcoming opponent and city. >> and puts the questions to us, too by the way. >> this is our last night, isn't it?
