A Silver Spring neighborhood has been hit hard by a determined thief, who strikes empty homes during the daytime. Even homes with dogs. Go out to Peggy Fox Clifton parks neighborhood with this one. Yeah. The most surprising thing to me is that despite two 40pound dogs inside the home, it did not deter this burglar. People here in this neighborhood believe its probably one man responsible for at least seven, and maybe as many as 10 burglaries. I came home about 5 15, sunday afternoon. And i only had to take just a couple of steps in. And i knew immediately that i had been broken into. Reporter bonnie says shes at least the 7th burglary victim in this neighborhood in the last seven weeks. Then as you get closer, you can see that every single drawer was pulled out. And was dangling. Reporter she found her desk was on the floor and the jewelry box gone. So he just took the whole thing . Yes. The whole wooden box. All of her jewelry was stolen. But shes most upset over losing a watc necklace, given to my mother at the age of 12 in 1922. Reporter it happened sunday afternoon, when bonnie was away. Her car gone from the driveway. Montgomery county police think the burglar pried open her window. I was very angry. Reporter right around the corner from bonnie, kathys home was also hit. Even though her two dogs were home at the time. Everything that is resalable, pawnable. That is the stuff that was taken. It was july 5th, also a sunday. And she had just left town. No car in the driveway. The thief took two jewelry boxes this time. It was jewelry and watches. And the sunglasses. Reporter kay noticed her gray backpack was also missing. She thinks she saw that same backpack being carried by a man who was captured on a neighbors surveillance camera, around the time her home was burglarized. Yes. I do think i saw the backpack. Because it it was an hour glass type of shape and it was gray. It was a business one one for lap tops. Kathy said the video showed him without the backpack and seven minutes later, he had the backpack and shes sure its her backpack. However, Montgomery County police wont confirm whether the man had anything to do with the breakin. Neighbors are increasing Neighborhood Watch and increasing security. Now, Montgomery County police are confirming that they are investigating several recent burglaries. And have collected evidence. Hoping that the story does more. Our break from the august heat and humidity has come to an end. First alert, meteorologist Howard Bernstein joins us now. And i guess we back into a heat wave of sorts . Just about. I dont know if we hit 90 or not. But we certainly will tomorrow. And potentially, much of the rest of the month. The month ends next week. But its going to be a hot stretch. But clouds came in today. Not much in the way showing up on radar. But enough clouds that may have prevented the 90s today. High pressure down in the south and several southwesterly winds. Bringing in the heat. Bringing in the humidity. And looks like its going to be sticky around here. You can tell by the dew points. Already to 75. Just a couple of days ago. Our dew points in the 50s. This is a sign of how sticky and muggy it is. Temps now, range anywhere from the low 80s in ocean city to the low 90s in cumberland and charlottesville. At 87, feeling like 96.

One of might have board of education members, calling for the resignation of vice chair boston and chairman. They accuse their leaders are covering up findings of abuse in Head Start Program. Even though it was included in the discussion april 14th, burrows said that wasnt good enough. What theyre saying is that because another body and none of us with this exceptional device here, had discussed this in their meeting minutes, wd and i would Say Something as serious as child abuse and neglect. Something as a settlement for 4 million deserves a full discussion. Tells me that the leadership needs to resign. At the end of the day, the federal government, giving us multiple opportunities to correct the issue. And we failed to do so. Its important we hold individuals accountable at every level. So the board of education meets at 7 00 tonight. That is a public meeting. So if there is more stone walling, it will happen, at least on camera. They need to decide whether or not to appeal this suspension of that critical 6. 4 million in federal funding. And at least two sources have told me in the past couple of days, the board may choose not to appeal because appeal will invite more scrutiny and may uncover potentially more incidents of child abuse against toddlers in the Head Start Program.

We buried jesse at sea today. We carried him out on the p. T. Boat and left him just outside the reef. When beckys father died, she sniffed through the mementos of world war ii. Its overwhelming to me that a young man would have to write a grievi friend. Dying on the evening of thanksgiving. Her father, joe cap, was just a teenager when he served aboard the uss argon, as a radio man, among his belongings. She found pages of typewritten poetry. It was a choppy end. This one tribute to a shipmate lost at sea is especially heartbreaking. It was the only poem where he carefully illustrated the margin. Jesse lies on the coral just outside the reef. Reporter all we know about jesse is that he was a master diver, like these men. I imagine it had to be the brightest, bravest people that were willing to do that kind of work. He perish said during a salvage missile in the russian island. Also seemed like such a sad way to pass. You know, dying under water like that. The submarine tender. A ship that recovered subs. I think in that day and age, how lonely it must be to be out in the middle of the pacific. Have no facebook, no cell phones, no facetime. And really never know when youre going to contact your loved ones again. Becky has tried to recover through the archives. If i lost my father to that young age, it would mean a lot to me ton that he had a young man on board ship. And that heed appreciate that it meant a lot to him. Beckys hope and ours is that somehow, somewhere, we are able to track down his family. Maybe he had children, siblings, relatives, who would like to know about the poem in his honor. Becky wants to give them the original copy. And andrea, youve had so much response on your facebook page. We are all hopeful that somebody is going to have the missing pu we have posted joe caps poem, his discharge records and photographs all on our wusa 9 apps, with the hope that Somebody Just might recall his friend jesses last name.
