the prisoner is back home. it's pretty clear what all the parties are going to say. >> everybody is pointing the finger at everybody else and it's disgusting. >> reporter: he was set free when doctors said his cancer would kill him in three months. now doctors say he could live for more than ten years. >> with phony evidence. we all knew that he wasn't that sick. they have been saying for a year he had one foot in the grave. >> reporter: and the possible roll of bp. >> this story is not about an oil company. it's not about politicians. either scottish, english or u.s. senators. >> it's about 270 innocent souls that lost their lives. that's the story. >> reporter: still family members would like to know if bp helped free the man who killed their loved ones. a senate committee will be asking next week. the top cop in prince george's county believes his officers have taken a serial killer off the streets. he is the prime suspect in a pair of mother-daughter murders last year in largo. the victims delores dewitt and her daughter ebony. karen lofton and her daughter karissa. this man, they believe, has a lot more blood on his hands. >> by the time you actually find out what this person is all did about, you'll see that -- all about, you'll see this is one of america's most famous criminals that they're going to be responsible in identifying. >> police are not releasing the man's name just yet, not until he's formally charged. but according to court records, he has a history of charges including armed robbery, assault, burglary and sex crimes. ruth rowan is a mom on a mission. she wants to get a particular driver off the road and make the streets safer for everybody. that driver, marco fuentes. two years ago he ran over and killed her daughter alice swanson. she was on a bike. he was in a garbage truck. it all happened near dupont circle. and after investigating, police and prosecutors decided not to pursue fuentes. to this day, ruth cannot believe it. >> this man is still driving. this man had five driving violations before alice was killed, within just five months before she was killed. he had three accidents. he had one accident eight days before he hit allison. >> and there is still more. court documents from a lawsuit showed fuentes was once convicted on drug charges and deported only to return to the country. >> we did call dc police for comment on this story. they have yet to get back to us. 9news now also stopped by the driver's home. a woman that answered the door told us to call the company. kmg hauling would not comment on this driver's record. however, the company says it did reach an out of court settlement with alice's family. a lawyer for the company tells us despite that confidential settlement, we never admitted any liability in this case but we extend our sympathies to the family. tonight traffic on the 14th street bridge is back to normal after a rescue during this morning's rush hour brought drivers to a stand still. a construction worker got hit on the cat walk below the span of the bridge unable to move at all. that made it tough for emergency crews to reach him but not impossible. >> the best way of evacuating him from this area would most likely be set up a station above us. >> crews used ropes and pulleys to lower a medic under the bridge. he then secured the construction worker to a rescue stretcher and lowered the victim to a boat. from there medics transferred him to a hospital and he is expected to be okay. unemployment benefits will be extended to the millions who have been out of work for more than six months now. the legislation broke free of senate republican stall tactics today, and that was mostly because of the newly sworn in senator from west virginia. cart goodwin cast his first vote today and he was honored to have the vote be something to help millions of americans. red light runners be ready to pay up. as of midnight to more warnings will be given if you run red lights in the county. so far, though, no fines have been levied. if you're caught running on one of the lights, it will cost you 50 bucks. disappointing news about a cancer drug in tonight's health alert. late today, an fda advisory panel voted the agency should withdraw approval for avastin as a treatment for spreading breast cancer. it got fast tracked when early studies seemed to show it could shrink tumors but it does not slow down any more than chemotherapy alone and adds to the side effect. >> it means it should be taken off the market. >> it works by blocking blood vessels and it is approved for other kind of cancers. now, a couple years ago the fda green lighted it for met static breast cancer. patients wanted it with the caveat that they would keep studying it. >> does the fda have to follow the advice, though? >> they don't have to. today it was 12-1 to get rid of the breast cancer indication. this was a panel of scientists. it's reasonable to believe they'll follow that. >> sometimes doctors can prescribe off label?
