With the heat comes the threat of more storms and hes already declared sunday a yellow alert. Whats the timetable of the showers on futurecast, top . Sunday we think its in the afternoon and evening. We have some showers and storms to get through tomorrow as well. Were trying to stay ahead of the event and issue a yellow alert now for sunday for thunderstorms. Saturday also some morning showers and morning thunderstorms possible. Coveragewise, intensitywise not worthy of a yellow alert. Sunday, though, mainly afternoon thunderstorms and the main threats will be hail and damaging winds, an isolated tornado not out of the question. A large area of the mid atlantic covered by a slight risk of Severe Weather sunday. We have a cold front approaching, a little trough approaching as well.

Her murder is still not solved and tonight 39 Years Later Police are hoping to find out what happened to kathleen beatty. The girls beaten body was found by her sister in the woods behind the kmart in aspen, maryland, almost four decades ago. Tonight her family joins supporters for a vug ill in hopes of solving this for a vigil in hopes of solving this cold case. So many unanswered questions, the worst one not knowing who assaulted her.

There is a 5,000 reward for information leading up to the identity of who killed kathy 39 years ago today. You can call the Detective Agency or email reward at kathybeatty. Com. Investigators closed the book on a 12yearold murder case in Loudoun County, the killing of 14yearold erica smith. The Sheriffs Office says the prime suspect committed suicide as officers closed in. Erica walked out of her Loudoun County home back in 2002 and she was never seen alive again. Her body was discovered in a shallow grave in ashburn. Ericas dad says this is not how he was hoping to see this case close. The suicidal way wasnt the way we were looking to have to deal with this individual. We were hoping that he would go through the system and, you know, through due process and then be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but unfortunately he took the cowards way out and took his own life. The Sheriffs Office says since the suspect was never arrested theyre declining to release his name or reveal exactly when he committed suicide. We do understand he met erica while posing as a visit from europe who would take the teenager shopping.

Three children are dead, their mom in Critical Condition after police say a pair of carjackers ran them over in a stolen suv. You have three innocent children that had the rest of their lives in front of them that were taken in this fashion. It is very sad. It is very tragic. This happened today in philadelphia. The children were selling fruit on a Street Corner to raise money for their church when the carjacker of the stolen suv apparently lost control and struck them. A 15yearold girl and her two brothers 10 and 7 were killed. The carjackers pulled a gun on a real estate who was getting into her vehicle when they stole it. After crashing the two men got out and are still on the run tonight. A 100,000 reward is offered for information that leads to their arrest. President obama met with the president s of honduras, el salvador and guatemala to make it clear that they must do more to stop the flow of children trying to make it into the United States. We have to deter a continuing influx of children putting themselves at great risk and families who are putting their children at great risk. Now texas Law Enforcement officers have stepped up their patrols along the rio grande where most of the Illegal Immigrants are crossing into this country. President obama asked congress for nearly 4 billion to help with the crisis on the border, but republicans arent sold. Congress has one week left to reach a deal goes on august recess. It is my hope that Speaker Boehner and House Republicans will not leave town for the month of august for their vacations without doing something to help solve this problem. Now for its part the gop leadership appears to be lining up behind a much cheaper plan from texas congresswoman kay granger, but even that is facing resistance from more conservative members. The department of Homeland Security says the immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency and the Border Patrol will literally run out of money if congress doesnt act before it goes on vacation. Starting two hours from now the middle east should be just a little less violent, at least temporarily. Both israel and hamas have agreed to a 12 hour ceasefire starting 1 a. M. Our time tomorrow.

Starting a family can be expensive, especially if you need fertility treatments, but there is an option many people probably dont think about and thats embryo adoption. Well tell you how it works and you can meet two families who did it. Plus its called a break through drug but comes with a hefty price tag, 1,000 a pill. Wait until you hear how the Company Making in tonights health alert a drug that fights, some even say cures hepatitis c called sovaldi, very effective but quite expensive, especially in the United States, 1,000 bucks per pill. Some people in the medical community are pushing to make it more affordable including dr. Steve miller of express scripts. He says a treatment regimen in the United States currently costs more than 100,000 compare that he says to the cost charged in other countries. For the exact same drug in egypt its 900 for a full course of therapy, so less than one pill in america. The company that makes the drug gilead announced a huge jump in profits the Second Quarter of this year, 6. 5 billion compared to just 2. 7 billion last year. In part of a statement sent to wusa9 gilead says, we believe the price of sovaldi reflects the value of the medicine. They reduce the total treatment costs taking into account the cost of medications and mostly cloudy visits and costs of managing and healthcare visits and the costs of managing the disease. The company says okay, well provide the information. There are a lot of people who want to be parents but arent able to conceive a child. Now a little known process is allowing doctors to help called embryo adoption and tonight reporter faith abuba introduces us to an incredible couple who are giving the gift of life to a woman who desperately wants to have a child. Hey, mama. Yeah . Its crazy to think about. Reporter as stephanie and david reese sit here, a total stranger in durham is about to have their baby, a baby that will be a reese once its born. I as a mom have to keep telling myself this embryo will still be frozen in a freezer if she did not give it life. Reporter thats how the story began. Stephanie is one of the nearly 1 million women who suffer with infertility in the u. S. Years of trying, medical tests and thousands of dollars later stephanie and david found their miracle in in vitro fertilization or ivf. After four tries and six years ivf worked. Doctors in a lab using a sperm and egg and implant it back in the woman to grow it to full term. The reeses have three children and 13 embryos left over. There are estimated 6,000 embryos in limbo right now in the United States alone. The embryo Adoption Center says 70 of couples eventually come back and use their own embryos. 14 abandon or discard them. 8 donate them to research and another 8 donated them for struggling couples to adopt. Dr. Jeffrey deton is with premier fertility in high point. The problem is embryo adoptions is the availability of embryos. I do believe the thought of having someone else raise what they consider is their child to be a little tough for some of them to handle. So they choose to discard. Reporter not for the reeses. How hard was it for us to get to this point ourselves, to have healthy embryos ready to implant and i thought man, if you could help other families along where they dont have to get through the struggle of just getting to that point, that it would be a big help. Reporter thats when wendy clark came into the picture. At the time clark was 39 years old, wanted to have a baby but just hadnt met the right man. Last summer a friend called me and she said i have a friend of a friend who has embryos that theyre looking to donate. Are you interested . I think shell be a good mom and i think thats ultimately what that gut feeling that led us to give the embryo to her. Reporter now wendy is nine months pregnant ready to start a family of her own. People can say its weird and untraditional, but its the world we live in right now. Reporter nightlight christian adoptions is the agency which pioneered the process 17 years ago. It calls the frozen embryos snowflakes and says there have been more than 360 socalled snowflake babies born. This was a better fit for me. Am i a single parent, yes . But im a single parent out. Promise, not out of pain, out of choice. If we can give someone else the joys of family and children like weve experienced, then i think theres no better gift to give someone. I saw my baby and im looking forward to meeting him. Wendy didnt have to wait long. Victor was born two weeks ago weighing in at 8 pounds 7 ounces. The reeses have met little victor and say they dont know what kind of relationship they want to have with his mom, but they do know they want more than christmas cards and pictures. The two families are still working out those details. It should also be noted the reeses received no money for donating their embryo to wendy and in full disclosure we found out about this story because david reese used to work for wusa9 and now works for our sister station in North Carolina who produced this story, wfmy.

By 3 00 some of them could get a little robust, little heavier not severe down into southern maryland, but west of 95 after 3 00 fire up the grill, no storms on the way. By 5 00 everything pretty much clear of the metro except for southern maryland, Charles County and st. Marys county, but by 7 00 everybody is fine. Tomorrow night if you have plans, youre fine. In the afternoon youll dance around a few showers and storms and on sunday a pretty good line of showers and storms rolling in possibly in the morning. Well keep you posted all weekend. Break this down. 71 at 7 00, 75 at 9 00, 81 at 11 00 and then 85 by 1 p. M. I think well be dry.

Ill be the first to say i needed to improve from yesterday. We all did. Thats just how it is. Every day you go in, look at the film, try to fix what you did wrong. Yesterday coach challenged us because he felt it wasnt a great day. Today we came out with high energy, played at a high level, tempo was there. Everybody flew around, made plays. Every day has to be like a building day. I just thought the tempo wasnt as clean and sharp as i would like it and had to challenge them. So they responded very well today. Reporter and jay wasnt the only gruden in the house today. His brother jon graced the sidelines. The super bowl winning coach says hes proud of his little bro. Thats going to do it for our coverage here today. Well have coverage here in richmond throughout the weekend. For now back to you. Thanks, dave. This time last year Mike Shanahan was leading the troops in richmond before his unceremonious departure with one year left on his contract. He was pretty poignant today in his comments about his old team saying hed like to coach again in the nfl, but it would have to be a situation where it was a realistic opportunity to win a super bowl. He also said it would have to be with the right ownership. When reporter jarrett bell asked about franchise quarterback robert griffin, iii, shanahan said im not going down that road. Im going to let that play itself out. Well see as time goes on. Okay. The ravens are gearing up for mondays practice at m t bank stadium. Tomorrow theyll work out in pads for the first time.

I love him, his passion, the way he works, of course, love his talent, good person, good dad, just really proud of what hes done the last few years. Nationals on a ninegame road trip battling the reds and apparently the birds as well in cincinnati tonight. 4th a big inning for the nats starting off with zach walters r. B. I. Double. Next batter was denard span. He had an r. B. I. Single. He was 45, scored a run, stole a base, got caught in a rundown, but well forgive that. They won 41 against cincinnati. Theyve lost seven straight. Really love coach shanahan who says i only want to coach if the team has already been built that can win a super bowl. Then ill step in. And the right ownership.
