left without answering questions. later that evening, elsewhere in al bemarl county, as state police watched, matthew drove off at a high rate of speed. that led to these two reckless driving charges the police will now use to arrest matthew, if they can find him. >> we want to speak to him, because, again, he was the last person we can show was -- we know was with hannah graham. so he has got to have information we need, and is very frustrating. >> reporter: it's been three days since jesse matthew's landlord has heard from him. we were with her when she entered his apartment following the

know. >> reporter: now let's take a closer look at that wanted poster of jesse matthew. 6'2" tall, 270 pounds. police believe he may be in a light blue nissan sentra with tags va c4-575. police say

carefully protected buildings in the world? the secret service is facing tough questions after the embarrassing incident. and now there's talk of new check points and tourist screenings. news4's mark segraves is live outside the white house with reaction from local leaders and folks who work around there. mark? >> reporter: that's right, pat. you can see lots of tourists out here on the plaza today. but this is also a popular thoroughfare for locals, pedestrians and cyclists cut through all of the time. and it wasn't too long ago you could drive your car down pennsylvania avenue. but after a man hopped this fence on friday and made it inside the white house, secret service says they are now considering adding check points where people would have to be screened before they walked down here. they're even considering closing off this sidewalk. the security breach friday night wasn't the first time someone has jumped this fence. it's happened more than 100 times since the 1970s when a man was shot and killed after he jumped the fence. after a plane was flown into the white house in 1994, the secret service moved to close pennsylvania avenue to cars. >> it had nothing to do with pennsylvania avenue. but they seized the moment and closed pennsylvania avenue and then said it was all based on what happened in oklahoma city. >> reporter: now after friday's breach, there have been news reports that the secret service wants to increase security outside the white house. including adding check points where pedestrian bags would be searched before being allowed to walk through the plaza or park. >> it would be terrible. first of all, the message it sends about, you know, a dangerous environment right out of the box i think makes it a terrible idea. >> this is our nation's capital and it's up to all law enforcement to make it safe for everybody. obviously, the security of the president is foremost in our thinking. but i'm confident that the secret service could come up with a better plan. >> reporter: on capitol hill today, delegate eleanor holmes norton fired off a letter to the head of the secret service, asking they reconsider anymore security that would impact visitors. >> i'm very concerned that they're already floating check points to get into where, the outdoors? you know, we've got checkpoint to get into buildings. now we're going to have check points to get in front of buildings. >> reporter: and it's not just lawmakers who are upset about the possibility of being kept further away from the white house or having to go through another security checkpoint. >> i hope it doesn't happen. we've got too much security already. >> i think there's a lot of security to put on pedestrians and citizens of the district. >> reporter: now officials with homeland security and the secret service say they're going to review everything that went on here over the weekend, and then consult with congress and the white house before making any changes to security. of course, d.c. officials would like to be part of that conversation. now coming up at 6:00, how america's main street went from becoming open to everyone to possibly becoming an enclosed

today we talked to this teacher who is accused and also a lot of parents who came here today wanting some answers. >> this is just very heartbreaking. now i don't know what to do. i mean, it's a trust issue. >> reporter: melda pulled her two children out of the goddard school in woodbridge as soon as she heard a teacher was arrested for allegedly biting a child. >> that's what's very scary about it. i'm pretty sure a lot of the teachers -- who knows if my 2-year-old was ever in her care. >> reporter: police say 23-year-old theresa brown bit the 13-month-old boy on the shoulder hard enough to leave a mark after he bit another teacher. news4 found brown at her home today. she has been fired. brown wouldn't appear on camera, but told us she didn't bite anyone. she thinks another child did it, and that she is only being accused to distract from other problems at goddard. the owner of the facility, nadia choudhry, is also charged with neglect. >> staff went to the owner, and attempted to report the incident. and that's when the owner told that staff member to not report the incident. >> reporter: some parents are asking why brown was working at goddard in the first place. she has a criminal history of arrests, including assault, forgery and stealing. >> the daycare system is unpredictable. you think a place is great one day and the next day you don't know. but for the most part i'm pretty happy with my experience here. so hopefully, you know, something like this is just an anomaly. >> it's going to take a toll on the family. i am going to have to take some days off work and figure out what to do now. >> reporter: we spoke to the corporate office of the goddard school and they told us that right now they are reviewing their hiring practices, including the process of background checks. coming up tonight at 6:00, we'll explain how theresa brown was able to work here with children, despite the fact she had gotten into trouble before. live in woodbridge, kristen wright, news4. right now we get the latest from the scene of a large fire in northern virginia. a viewer sent us this cell phone video of flames shooting out of the burke nursery and garden center. late this afternoon, the fire started near some mulch and then it spread to a nearby building. no one was hurt, but what a raging fire it was. in video from chopper 4, it looks like a greenhouse structure burned. the main office is still standing. the company's website says the garden center opened back in 1977. firefighters are still working to determine what started that fire. well, say

a lot of rain. we could be dealing with a very cool and a very wet week. i've got all the forecast details coming up in just a minute. thanks, doug. the owner of the ravens on the defensive right now following a new report about how he handled the ray rice domestic violence case. jason pugh is at the live desk with more. jason. >> pat, baltimore ravens owner, steve bisciotti spoke to the media a few minutes ago addressing a espn report that claims the ravens knew what happened inside that elevator much earlier than when tmz released that video. the ravens are refuting that repo report. here's what bisciotti had to say this afternoon. >> there is no excuse for me to have not demanded that video, except i wasn't concerned or interested enough to demand it. never crossed my mind. i'm sorry for that. deeply sorry for that. if i -- if it had crossed my mind, i would have demanded it. if i had demanded it, i would have gotten it. and if i had gotten it, i would have forwarded it to the nfl and it would have turned into an unprecedented suspension for ray. >> reporter: now steve bisciotti also went on to say that no one within the ravens organization will lose their job due to the handling of this ray race incident. reporting from the live desk, jason pugh, news4 sports. free rides on the toll road. coupon deals for restaurants and a chance to win a spa package. why the company

faster, but this week you could also get a free ride. a special promotion is trying to encourage more people to use the lanes in order to get lunch. news4's chris gordon is in springfield near the braddock road exit. hey, chris. >> reporter: well, good evening. we are next to one of the entrances to the 495 express lanes. they are being underutilized during some of the hours of the day, especially lunch time. so the private company that operates those express lanes is coming up with some innovative offers to try to get you to use the toll road. we mounted a camera on our hood and drove the 495 express lanes at midday. there were only a few cars with us. at the same time, the nonexpress beltway lanes were filled, but moving at speed with no backups. depending on the distance you drive, express lanes cost up to $3 for the midday trip. >> reporter: they're trying to get more people to use the 495 express lanes. what could they do to get you to use them? >> i don't know. because it's an extra charge for that. >> reporter: transurban is the private company that separates the 495 express lanes. it recently mailed this offer to northern virginia households to entice more drivers to use 495 express lanes. experience lunch in the fast lane. for those who registered, they got coupons to travel for free on the 495 express lanes from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. all this week. and they were given special discount coupons for lunch at one of twelve restaurants. >> we always want to see more customers, definitely. the more folks out there, the more folks that have an ez pass and can take advantage of this, that's great. and that's great for drivers on the beltway, as well. >> reporter: the 495 express lanes opened two years ago this november. transurban tells us, in the june 2014 quarter, there were 43,325 workday trips. that's almost a 24% increase over the previous june quarter, when there were 34,947 workday trips. the record daily toll revenue reported is over $161,000. how often do you use them? >> maybe two to three times a week. >> reporter: what would get you to use them more? >> for it to be cheaper. >> reporter: and because of the high cost, some drivers are cheating. they are using them like hov lanes when they don't have the necessary three people in the vehicles. coming up tonight, a news4 at 6:00, we'll show you how virginia state police are cracking down on the cheaters. live in fairfax. back to you in the studio. >> thank you, chris. it's not tax time right now but there is a scam out there that involves phony irs agents. the scammers have targeted people in montgomery county. one person was out $3,000 after the crook asked the victim to buy green dot cards at a safe way in rockville. here's how it works. the scammers pose as irs agents and tell you there is a warrant out for your arrest. and you'll get served unless you cough up some cash. >> these crooks sound convincing and they are. they are good. we all must work together to educate and protect one another. so be on alert, be mindful of what is happening. and be mindful of those you talk to on the telephone. >> these con artists have scammed people out of millions of dollars across the country. the irs says it never calls taxpayers by telephone for taxes od odor or threatens arrest. the irs notifies people by mail first, always. >> always got to be on your toes. >> pretty sad out there. well, doug, we're going to need sweaters and jackets tonight. >> yeah, and that's why jim and i are growing the beards. >> keep faces warm. >> yeah, keep it warm. we're going to be so-called over the next 24 hours. these are our playoff beards. >> they are. and this is going down. we're riding this all the way. >> the contest. wife not happy about it. sorry, honey. let's take a look and show you. go nationals. out there right now, looking good. plenty of sunshine. but the wind has been coming in from the northwest. and it's been a little bit of a cool wind. most of us have seen temperatures in the 70s. but some of you have stayed back in the 60s and many of you are there right now. >> 74 degrees, winds out of the north at 18 miles per hour. so an 18-mile-an-hour wind right now. and look at the wind gusts, up to 25 miles per hour in washington. 25 in hagerstown and over 20 in leesburg. so it's definitely been a little bit on the breezy side. all in all, not too bad. 74 currently in d.c. 63 though in hagerstown and 72 in frederick. so you see the cooler air that's going to continue to make its way across our region. take a look just farther back to the west. that's 63 in hagerstown. 57 in pittsburgh. 57 in state college. so it's going to get really cool overnight tonight. i would say most of you will be in the 40s overnight and into early tomorrow morning. so what to wear tomorrow. i think tomorrow you're not going to need the umbrella. you'll need the jacket, though. maybe the long pants for the first time if you're sending the kids off to school. they may need the pants. maybe the jeans early. because tomorrow will be a chilly day. how chilly? well, nothing around our region, but there could be some frost way back toward the west. we're talking about garrett county, western allegheny county, petersburg area of west virginia, temperatures could get into the upper 30s tonight for the first time this season. as far as we're concerned, not worried about rain, as i mentioned. going to stay on the dry side today. tomorrow we stay dry too. and right now it's looking pretty good. but just down to the south, there is a storm system trying to develop. and i think that's going to get in here during the day wednesday. so here we are future weather tuesday tomorrow at 8:30. no problems. tomorrow, plenty of sunshine wins again. just a few clouds. here comes the storm system during the day on wednesday. notice the clouds early wednesday morning, stocked in with theclouds. and then here comes the rain late into the evening. and look at 9:00 on wednesday night. we could be inundated with some rain out there. we need to see some rain, and this system could give it to us, both wednesday and thursday. so we're still monitoring this situation, see exactly where the storm sets up. some of us could be in for some good rain. so 70 degrees tomorrow in leesburg. no rain tomorrow. plenty of sunshine. high temperature around 73 in the d.c. metro area. some of you staying in the upper 60s. 75 on your wednesday with that 30% chance of rain late and overnight a really good chance. same deal goes for thursday with a high of 72. 76 on friday and not quite done with the warm temperatures just yet. i think we get back up to 80 degrees on saturday and summed sunday. and next week looks really warm. so for now on the cool side for a couple days. >> thank you, doug. a new study on autism sheds some light on what expecting mothers may be able to do to help reduce the risk. and a redskins captain lost for the season. chris cooley joins dianna with more on how the team will replace the leadership of deangelo hall. we're coming right back. welcome back to news4 at 5:00, i'm dianna russini live at redskins park. sunday was the first game the redskins played without robert griffin iii this season. kirk cousins was the starter, and lots of people today are saying wow. kirk cousins was impressive. and this week's coolly report, the future is bright with cousins at quarterback. >> he's awesome. his offense is awesome. and distributes the ball to a bunch of different receivers. starts 12 of 13. did everything right. exceptional job. hard to be critical of what kirk did throughout most of the game. would like to see him finish. >> reporter: today's big news, deangelo hall talked to us at redskins park today. he was on crutches. his ankle in a boot. his achilles' heel completely torn. he's done for the season, he says. how big of a loss is someone like deangelo who will hall? >> without question a leader in the heart of the defense. it's a big presence that you lose. and it's hard to keep that presence when you're not oppose the field. >> reporter: do you think this washington redskins right now at the point they're at have enough talent on their team to get a win against a team like the new york giants who really aren't that good? >> the giants -- >> reporter: okay, they looked good yesterday. >> the giants were pretty good yesterday. the answer to your question is yes, they absolutely have enough talent on their team. but they have to find a way to win as a team. they have to understand who they are as a group of players and team and have confidence to finish a game. we have seen two games so far this year that in my opinion we should have won. and there isn't quite that killer mentality mind-set that says we'll take this game over now. we'll take it from here right now. >> reporter: all right. so the redskins will face the giants on thursday back at fedexfield. special teams. that is the biggest weakness on this redskins team right now, ask chris cooley at 6:00 has the answers. he thinks he knows how the team can fix it. i'm dianna russini at redskins park. >> thanks, dianna. at 5:00, a proposal that could transform some prince george's neighborhoods by turning old bill boards into newer digital ones. why some folks are calling this another form of pollution. also ahead, new details about the man who jumped the fence at the white house on friday as he appears before a judge today. we'll talk to one of the reporters who was there about what it was like. and the changes she's already seeing. and the health scare that's resulted in hundreds of parents testing their newborns for a contagious disease. right now at 5:30, a young mother shot and killed at home with two of her young children in the house. this evening, we're hearing from the victim's grandfather as police try to find a suspect and a motive. news4's pat collins is live near the scene in southeast washington. pat. >> reporter: pat, she was a dancer, she was an artist, she was the mother of four young children. she was murdered inside her home here in southeast. who could have done something like this? we begin with words from the victim's grandfather. >> the monster that did it, the monster needs to be caught. it was a monster that killed my granddaughter. he needs to be caught. >> reporter: that's michael conyers. he's the grandfather of the murder victim, dee dee conyers. he was the one who found his granddaughter dead inside her apartment here on ridge crest court in southeast. >> i was in total shock. i really was. i was hysterical. i could not call 911 fast enough. >> reporter: dee dee conyers was the mother of four children. two of her children, a 2-year-old boy and 3-month-old girl, were inside the apartment when she was shot and killed. now this happened on september 14th around 7:00 p.m. but we're just learning the details now. dee dee conyers had just moved into this apartment, most of her belongings were still in boxes. there was no sign of a forced entry. her grandfather says dee dee was a kind woman who would feed and shelter people who she really didn't know. he says her kindness may have cost her her life. do you think she was too trusting? >> yes, entirely too trusting. and when she moved into her old place, i said leave the old friends at the old neighborhood. so i was trying to move everything out of her apartment all by myself. >> reporter: dee dee conyers was just 27 years old. coming up at 6:00, a message to the killer from her mother. you might be surprised about what she has to say. live in southeast, pat collins, news4. pat, thank you. a same-sex marriage ceremony in maryland had a special fish ant this weekend. elena kagan presided over the wedding of her former law clerk. it was the first time she officiated a same-sex marriage. ginsburg and sandra day o'connor have also officiated at same-sex marriages. the court could reconsider the constitutionality nationwide in its upcoming term. security heightened around the white house after a man makes it all the way inside the executive mansion. police found 800 rounds of ammunition inside his car. >> we have learned he's a veteran who was arrested back in july in virginia. nbc white house correspondent chris jansing was at the white house when the security breach happened. chris, tell us what it was like that day at the white house before all of this happened. >> reporter: what happened, jim and pat, was unprecedented, because i was down in the press area, and people were yelling that there was a jumper. that is not unusual. but they said he had gotten inside the white house and we couldn't believe it. that has never happened before. he ran across the lawn behind me, went up the steps to the north port i co and went in through the front door which was obviously unlocked. that raised a whole lot of questions, because there are so many protocols in place to stop something like that from happening. there are k-9s trained to knock and hold people down. why were they not released, why were snipers not used? those questions being asked by a lot of members of congress who are actually going to come back and have hearings on this coming up. but we've also learned that omar gonzalez was known to authorities. back on august 25th, he was stopped along the south fence of the white house. he had a hatchet that he was carrying inside pants. he was allowed to leave. on july 19th, he was arrested while speeding and was part of a chase there. he had a large number of weapons with him, including two sniper rifles, five handguns. but the only illegal gun was a sawed off shotgun. we're also told at the time he had a map of the d.c. area, pointing to the white house. and so a lot of questions are being raised about why he wasn't on their radar and, of course, the big question, how did he get over the fence and go through the front door. that door is now locked. you mentioned stepped up foot patrols, stepped up surveillance. also conversations about should they do something around the perimeter of the white house, should people have to go through security. so many people, hundreds of people every day to take tours of the white house. are they going to have to change those protocols. but there is an investigation that is ongoing. there is obviously a sense of urgency, although the president when asked about it today at an event having nothing to do with this, obviously, said he has confidence in the secret service. we do know, though, that on friday night and not surprisingly, he was updated on a regular basis several times throughout the evening. and throughout the weekend about this ongoing investigation. pat and jim? >> nbc's chris jansing live at the white house. very frightening day on friday. thank you for sharing your perspective with us too. we appreciate it. >> sure. police believe they are zeroing in on a dangerous self-taught survivalist accused of ambushing two state troopers and killing one of them. eric frein has been on the run in pennsylvania for ten days now. over the weekend, police found an assault rifle in the pocono mountains. they don't know if it belongs to frein. police believe he planned -- had been planning his attack and escape for months, or maybe even years. they warn that frein is armed and dangerous, but they believe he's targeting police officers, not civilians. >> it is our conclusion that he is aimed totally at police officers, because there were unarmed civilians who right in the exact same location. during the course of the shooting. and he chose not to shoot at them. >> frein is now on the fbi's ten most wanted list. thousands of residents were ordered to lock down after the shooting. today some students were able to go back to school. there is extra security and children will have to stay inside all day. we're learning new details tonight about that deadly tour bus crash in delaware over the weekend. the bus left washington, d.c. and was heading up to new york city when it flipped over here on sunday. a woman from new york and another from turkey were killed. dozens of other passengers, including the bus driver, had to be hospitalized. state police say drugs and alcohol were not factors in this crash. the ntsb is now investigating just what happened. they have served their community for more than 30 years, but now this haven for some is going to have to shut its doors. and a new study that is shedding some light tonight on what expectant mothers may be able to do to reduce the risk of autism. sunshine and a cool night tonight. but then we look down to the south. take a look at all this moisture down around florida and georgia. going to try to move our way. i'll show you when it could get here and what to expect for the rest of the week coming up in my forecast. doctors say iron is crucial to early brain development, and that may explain the results of a new study. the study shows a link between low iron levels during pregnancy and autism. in the study, women who have low iron were five times more likely to have a child with autism if the mother was older than 35 when she gave birth. scientists say obesity related hypertension and diabetes also increased the risk. it's where they have gone to battle addiction, to recover from abusive relationships, and at times just to get off the streets. but after 35 years, rachel's center, a shelter for homeless women in northwest washington, will close its doors for the final time next week. news4's zachary kiesch explains why. >> i am grateful for rachel because they have done enough for me. >> reporter: rachel's women center has been supporting homeless women since 1979. regina allen is one of them. >> i had both. i had a breakup and i had addiction. >> reporter: for many this brownstone on 11th street in northwest d.c. is the only home they know. but after 35 years, they announced last week they'll close at the end of the month. >> that's our number one concern, is where are these women going to go if these doors close. these women to be an extension of anyone's family. >> reporter: packed did you feel backs at the door reflect the transient community they serve. sheila cain used to be one of them. >> i didn't know that you could be clean and sober after being addicted to so many various things. my life is much happier now. >> reporter: today she is in her own place with the help of rachel's and so is she. both rely heavily on their support. >> i'm going to cry because i'm saying goodbye. >> reporter: a pillar in the d.c. area will close its doors with those who have benefited, say, the bonds and lessons won't be lost. reporting in northwest d.c., zachary kiesch, news4. the creators of a cartoon with a reputation for being offensive or taking aim now at the redskins. >> don't you see that when you call your organization the washington redskins, it's offensive to us? >> how is it offensive? >> coming up, how "south park" is entering the discussion over the name controversy. imagine billboards like these lit up like television screens around principle john, gorges county. gorges county. gorgin fairfax county we had to cut a lot of waste. we consolidated offices. started sharing printers. we can walk a few feet. replaced computers, but kept the monitors. they still work fine. we even discovered that the phone company overcharged us by three million dollars! i approve this message because congress doesn't need another right winger. they need someone who can balance a budget. oh, and we definitely didn't need so many government studies. now to the billboard backlash playing out in prince george's county this week. for years, residents there have called the signs an eyesore. but now there is a new plan to make them even more visible. bureau chief tracee wilkins is live now with both sides of this controversy. tracee? >> reporter: well, jim, this is a county that does not like billboards. and in the '90s, they moved to actually stop new billboards being built. so if you see a new billboard like this one, it's not new. that's why some are saying why update them? we want to see them go away. in the early 1990s, there was a push to phase out billboards in prince george's county, some feeling they were eyesores. so no new structures have been built since. which is why some are confused about a new push to modernize some with l.e.d. lighting. >> it's like a giant television screen in the sky. it just doesn't make any sense. >> reporter: a proposed bill due to be reviewed by a county council zoning committee tomorrow is pushing to turn some old billboards into l.e.d. signs. the clear channel outdoor company is behind the bill being introduced by council member andrea harrison. >> we understand the outdoor advertising industry. we would very much like to see this happen, because they would reap financial benefit from it. but why they would do it in the county is beyond me. >> reporter: a spokesperson with clear channel communications released this statement, saying, digital billboards are a vital resource, providing local businesses and not for profits with affordable advertising while allowing law enforcement and emergency services to communicate important and timely messages. >> i would like to see the bill disappear. >> reporter: he and other neighborhood associations are planning to fight the proposal. >> particularly the proximity to so many residential communities, never mind distracting driving going down the highway. it's just unacceptable. >> reporter: a spokesman with clear channel outdoors tells me there will be no animation and these boards will not be moving messages, but will be static messages on l.e.d. screens. now, they also say these screens can help to save lives and be very useful in emergencies. the council member says that's why she is supporting it. we'll have more on that coming up on news4 at 6:00. reporting live in landover, i'm tracee wilkins,

o'connell was assigned to the patrol unit. he was off duty saturday when he was arrested for second degree assault in baltimore. it's unclear who the victim is. o'connell is now suspended with pay while the investigation continues. tonight, the news4 i team uncovers a troubling trend. sometimes with deadly consequences. many of us have tried to save a few minutes by taking a shortcut. but the i-team discovered for more than 100 people that was a dangerous decision to make as they walked along local train tracks in our area. it's illegal to do so, but as our scott macfarlane discovered, it's also very common in some neighborhoods near d.c. >> yeah, pat, the news4 i-team was tipped off about the trouble near the tracks. people dangerously climbing over the csx and commuter trail tracks in several local neighborhoods. some of them racing in front of or just behind some very fast-moving trains. our cameras caught them in the act at those locations in which other people have been recently hurt or killed. that includes a woman named mary, killed as she walked along the tracks in riverdale. her father spoke with us. >> the shopping and restaurants are on this side. the houses are on this side. the train tracks are the fastest way to get from point a to point b. >> reporter: on foot. >> on foot. by far. it's much shorter. >> reporter: coming up later tonight at 11:00, our full news4 i-team investigation. you'll hear from a woman who actually lived after being hit by a train. in that case, in hyattsville. also, where are some of the potential hot spots, the most trespassed areas in our region? we'll look into that and what's being done and what's not being done to slow down and stop this trouble near the tracks. scott macfarlane, news4 i-team. a local community has a big hand in preserving the chesapeake bay. prince george's county is among nine communities in maryland that received a grant today to help reduce storm water runoff into the bay. the money will be used to make upgrades at the county's department of environmental building to reduce pollution. now, three similar grants were awarded in the district. in new york, activists flooded wall street. the protesters claim big corporations are not only profiting from the climate crisis, but also causing it too. they say the biggest offender is the fossil fuel industry. today's demonstration comes on one day before the united nations climate summit begins. gone in just 17 minutes. that's how long it took for nats tickets to sell out on the team's website today. which means there are no seats left for the national league division series. but there will be some standing room only tickets available on game day. you could try to get those tickets on stubhub. when last we checked, tickets were going for about $85 on the site. >> wow. from stub to stumble. here we go, doug kammerer, take it away. our first night of fall. how low are we going to go tonight? >> so excited about the nationals on their trip to the playoffs. come on, guys. we can do this together. i'll tell you as far as the weather is concerned and also excited about a cool night tonight. i like these cool nights as we inch into fall. outside right now, looking at pretty nice conditions. sun goes down tonight at about 7:05. and this will be the last day of summer, so to speak, at least astronomical summer. 74 degrees now. 72 by 7:00 and 67 at 11:00. the rest of the region, 64 in gaithersburg at 5:00. so you know we're going to be on the cool side as we move on through the rest of the night. restton at 69 degrees. we're not going to see anything on the radar. don't worry about that. here is our skycast, really depicts what the day is going to look like. does a pretty good job, too. 7:15 tomorrow, nothing. just sunshine across our area. look at this. 5:00 tomorrow, beautiful. but then we get into the day on wednesday and you notice starting off with some sun early. here come the clouds during the afternoon and notice what happens after about 5:00 here. here comes some rain. and it could be some steady rain. that rain coming in across the city, and i do think that rain could last right through the day on thursday too. so we are talking about some fairly cool numbers as we make our way in. talking about the numbers, 51 in d.c. tonight. 40 towards the west in herringerstown. 42 in frederick and manassas, so very chilly start times for tomorrow or starting temperatures tomorrow. so take the jacket. cool day tomorrow. 75 on your wednesday. 72 on thursday. good chance of rain, i think, will start to increase those chances as we move into the day tomorrow. and then much warmer -- much warmer as we head into the weekend. a tv reporter makes a memorable exit. >> and as for this job -- it's not that i have a choice, but [ bleep ] i quit. >> up next, why that reporter walked off the job, left the anchor hanging right in the middle of a newscast. i'm tom sherwood on the anacostia river. below, plans for a pedestrian park that would stretch 1,000 feet across this river. i'll have the story coming up. i have total respect for you. when i named my company washington redskins, it was out of deep appreciation for your team and your people. >> well, we don't feel very respected! >> the controversy surrounding the name of washington's football team will be front and center on the season premier of "south park." from the looks of it, team owner dan snyder, head coach jay gruden, along with rg3, will all be spoofed in the upcoming episode. well, it was the tv newscast that had jaws dropping last night. an alaska reporter, char low green, quit in grand fashion by saying an expletive on-air and then just walking out of the studio. here is the reason why. >> i am the actual owner of the can business club and will be dedicating all of my energy fighting for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in alaska. and as for this job, well, it's not that i have a choice, but [ bleep ] i quit. >> yeah, she'll work again in a studio. the anchor looked stunned before she apologized to viewers. green later told a newspaper that her station had no idea she was going to quit or that she was affiliated with the alaska cannabis club. people are using their new iphones in the three days since the iphone 6 has been

alarming letter from the el paso department of health, warning their infant may have been infected with tb. a hospital employee who worked in the nursery was recently diagnosed with tuberculosis. officials are not releasing her name, but say she has been put on leave. the hospital says so far, no other employees have tested positive for the illness. >> babies are vulnerable, especially their immune systems are not as strong. they're at risk, without a doubt. >> reporter: in a statement, providence memorial said we take our obligations to our patients, the employees and the community very seriously. we have taken actions that are designed to prevent a similar incident from occurring. >> even if he's not sick, it's just that fear that it gives me that he could be. and that i couldn't prevent it is what kills me inside. >> the hospital is working closely with the health department there to determine which children and employees may have been exposed. now at 6:00, an unprecedented

reporter: the kids are back in class. their backpacks filled with books. but the better business bureau is warning somebody is trying to make a bundle off of back to school. >> it was a large dollar amount for us. so it's something that caught my attention right away. >> reporter: in the pioneer school district in shelton, washington, principal mandy jesse got a bill for $647 for books she never ordered. >> i had this off feeling about it, that something was just not right. >> reporter: it was the same bogus notice that's now been reported by schools in at least 36 states. the invoices have all the buzz words. math practice, common core standards, even a familiar-sounding name. scholastic school supply. >> that's something that would trigger them to go ahead and pay the bill, is because it's a trusted name. >> reporter: but this has nothing to do with scholastic, inc, the world's largest publisher of children's books. scholastic, inc put out a statement saying the two were not affiliating and demanding they cease and desist using scholast scholastic's name. as for getting a statement from the other scholastics? the number on the invoice isn't in service. >> reporter: the e-mail goes unanswered. while back at pioneer primary, principal jesse is just trying to get back to school. >> what this does is it causes a distraction from what we should really be doing, which is focusing on improving student learning. >> reporter: at least one lesson learned already this year, make sure you read every invoice carefully. kristen dahlgren, nbc news. she is a champion of change and this afternoon a local educator has a white house award to prove it. amelia castenada at the alexandria center for higher achievement works with middle school students and families by providing

new information about the man accused in friday's security breach at the white house. he was arrested earlier this year with a gun and a map, showing the white house. today prosecutors called him a threat to the president. news4's steve handelsman is live now at the white house with more on this disturbing story. steve? >> reporter: it is disturbing, pat, thanks. good afternoon. it means this is looking a lot less now like some kind of a stupid prank and a lot more like a genuine attack here at the white house on the white house. on friday. and it's adding urgency to the investigation to try to figure out why the officers here failed to stop exactly the kind of invasion they train to deal with. there were more police and barriers at the white house when word came friday's intruder was more menacing than he first appeared. 42-year-old omar gonzalez was formally charged with unlawful entry, but prosecutors said the army veteran was arrested in virginia in july with a shotgun, and a map with the white house circled in his car. carrying just a knife, he jumped the fence friday, crossed the lawn and got through the main door to the white house before he was arrested. no attack dog was used. no gun fired at him. the obamas had just left. former secret service agents are appalled. >> you certainly cannot allow an intruder to make it that far. if you have to kill the individual, then you kill the individual. >> reporter: president obama today was not critical. >> i'm grateful. >> reporter: the agency is investigating who made mistakes friday and why. here on the north side of the white house today, there is this new temporary fence, but most of the white house fence as it was on friday, as it's been for decades, people can come right up to it. like these people. it's only six feet high or so, easy to scale. and the public wants to get this close. >> we all should have access to the white house. >> instead we should have security inside if they need it. >> reporter: that's the secret service goal. >> protecting the president and first family, also protecting the status of the white house as the people's house. >> reporter: now a review of how better to accomplish goal number one. more on omar gonzalez. when he was arrested in virginia in july, he had not just a shotgun, but a sawed off shotgun, which is illegal in many jurisdictions. at least two rles and other guns say virginia police and prosecutors today. it turns out just a few weeks ago on the other side of the white house, the south side, he was stopped with a hatchet in his belt. not arrested. and police say after he was arrested on friday, they found 800 or so rounds of ammunition in his car, but no gun. i'm steve handelsman, news4. >> steve, thank you. a missing person mystery in the

teenager to death are taking steps they say will help them protect themselves. reporter grant business bissell says how residents are equipping themselves with knowledge and cameras. >> reporter: devices like this are becoming more and more common in this community. >> the ferguson police department was equipping themselves with 50 body cameras, so we thought it best to equip this neighborhood with 110 body cameras. >> reporter: jacob crawford says it's helping community members protect themselves and others through a very specific purpose. >> it's a nonviolate observation of the police. where people go out with video cameras and document the police when they stop members of their community. >> reporter: but with the cameras comes responsibility and training. we watched the group the canfield watchman. >> this is what the police seem today. they target us. and we wanted to change that kind of image as protecting the people. >> reporter: together, david witt and jacob crawford are helping educate the people of ferguson on how to handle being stopped by police and protect their own rights. and their program has the approval of ferguson's police chief. >> just the idea of private citizens filming police doing their jobs, i don't see anything wrong with that. as a matter of fact, it happens all of the time. we also have cameras now we're using to film our interaction with the public. >> they are running group classes. the goal is to teach citizens their rights when they're stopped by police, and how to hold police accountable for inappropriate behavior. good news for those

more than 10 million iphones, 6 and 6-plus phones sold in three days. by comparison, the iphone 5c and 5s sold 9 million in the debut last year. the new phones are faster and have a wireless chip for making credit card payments. they cost 200 bucks with a new contract. well, fall is nearly upon us, i think just hours away. is that right, chuck? but we're already looking past the pumpkin. look at you. she was doing this in july. there is some good news as we look far in advance to holiday shopping for people trying to find work. >> that's right. retailers are hiring for the holidays and doing so in big numbers this year. news4 consumer reporter erika gonzales is here to tell us why so early. >> you know, companies are always looking at their bottom line, right? and when it comes to holiday shopping, you know, the truth is, we wouldn't be seeing this type of hiring hike if there weren't an inkling of truth about big spending this year. so fedex, they're adding 50,000 seasonal employees. u.p.s., 90,000, which is almost double what it initially forecasted last year. big bucks retailers like walmart, target, kohls and jc pen also getting in on the action. and while the application process is under way, these employees may not start until november. and then what happens to these employees once holiday shopping and returns have ended? the question here is how many will stay on board. if we look at last year, target kept 40% of its employees, and this year walmart says it will retain about 25%. today i spoke with the national retail federation and they said while consumer confident is not at an all-time high, it's still a good time for consumer spending and, of course, that also means a good time for retailers. >> the holiday season can account for as much as 35% of a retailer's annual sales. for many companies, when they bring in that extra staff at the end of the year for the holiday season, it really is make or break for some of these companies. >> the national retail federation will release holiday spending forecasts in about two weeks. so it's going to be interesting to see how many dollars exactly we're going to be talking about this year. >> and if it's going to be a good year. thanks, erika. new technology giving thieves a new way to break into your house. we've got what you need to know to protect yourself. you're watching news4 at 4:00. for your own security, you've got to pay attention to this story. new technology is literally giving thieves the key to your front door. >> you won't believe how vulnerable you are. nbc's jeff rossen shows us the problem and the way to protect yourself. this is how it's worked for decades. want your keys copied? go to a hardware store in person. the only way a thief could get your keys, physically steal them off a table or out of your bag. not anymore. this new website called keys duplicated is a game-changer. all you have to do, snap a clear photo of any house key with your smartphone and upload it to their website. their sophisticated software analyzes the grooves of the key down to the tiniest millimeter, all from that photo you sent them. then this machine drills out the key's teeth. a perfect match to the key in the picture. the key is mailed right to you, and it's cheap. only $6 a key at no i.d. verification. does this disturb you? >> yes, it does. >> reporter: now police departments across the country are worried thieves will take advantage, snapping stealth photos of your keys in public, then showing up at your doorstep, with your key. unlocking your door with ease, and walking right in. >> the thing is, you wouldn't even know you've been had. you had your keys, you didn't know someone has taken a photo of it. >> not until something bad happens to you. >> reporter: but does it really work? my producer, charlie, that's him, is about it to test it out. while i'm out of town for another story, he snaps a quick pic of my house key lying on a table. then he uploads it to the site, gives his home address, and voila, just a few days later duplicates of my keys arrive at his apartment. but instead of breaking in, charlie wisely waited for me to get back. >> all right. the moment of truth. does it work. >> let's find out. >> reporter: just to show you and everyone at home, my front door, it is locked. it's try the key. >> try the key. >> reporter: wow. >> it was that easy and we're inside your house. that could have been a total stranger. >> reporter: or a thief. we went straight to the ceo of keys duplicated, ali raheemy. the good news is, we tried your technology and it works like a charm. >> great to hear it. >> reporter: the bad news is, it worked like a charm and police say it could work like a charm for bad guys too. >> yeah. there's no doubt that this could be used by somebody to copy somebody else's key. i just don't think that's very likely that it will happen. if it ever happens, it's going to be a jilted ex lover or a disgruntled co-worker. people who have other ways of breaking into your house. >> reporter: his company is still new, and so far no reported cases. he says they require a valid e-mail address, creating a paper trail. but he admits they don't verify it's your key or even your credit card. there's no i.d. verification. the address i give you could be a bogus p.o. box. there is no other i.d. verification is there? >> for i.d. verification, there's not. that's true. >> reporter: does that concern you? it concerns police we spoke to. >> security is our top priority. we're constantly improving it, so of course it's a concern. i say we're on it. >> reporter: but police say until that loophole is closed, this company aimed at convenience may pose a danger. >> keys duplicated says it won't copy car keys or high-security patented keys and won't accept pictures that are blurry or are taken from too far away. the advice from police, treat your keys like you treat your driver's license or credit card. don't leave them lying around or let anyone you don't trust handle them. and don't try taking a picture of jeff rossen's key off the screen and breaking into his house, because we're told he changed the locks. >> smart man. makes sense. take a look at this, folks. so called king fire in northern california has now ballooned to 82,000 acres. the massive inferno is burning 60 miles east of sacramento in the town of eldorado. three dozen homes and structures destroyed so far and many more threatened tonight. at least 2,000 people were forced to evacuate. cooler, wet weather over the weekend helped firefighters contain some of it. but it also made visibility as you see or don't very tough. police believe this fire was sparked by an arsonist. a suspect is in custody. those smoky conditions also forced the last-minute cancellation of a major athletic event. >> air quality officials recommended the event be cancelled. >> an ironman competition in nearby lake tahoe was cancelled sunday morning just before it was about to start. the announcement was a big disappointment for the 3,000 athletes who had signed up for it. most of them had trained all year for the event. and many of them were visibly upset. the 140-mile endurance race involved swimming, cycling and running. a little girl and her family have quite a story to tell about her ball playing with the yankees. the team star, derek jeter, playing in the final home games of his career, and every game is special for fans. so imagine friday when a third-baseman tossed a jeter ball, dad caught it and the daughter promptly threw it back. check out the faces of the family. not to worry, though. the ball was returned to the family a short time later. that thing is going to be worth something. >> she was being a good sport. >> she won't do that again. >> a good little sport. >> $1,000 souvenir to an adult. watch me throw this, dad. >> so chuck, fall arrives right on cue. how did that happen? >> well, we are working hard in storm team 4 to make sure that all the seasons are lining up just the way we want them. a beautiful summery like weekend and the autumn equinox arrives at 10:29 tonight, and you will need your warm fuzzy blanket by tomorrow morning. start looking for it now, everybody. because you're really going to need it. there is the view from our tower camera, looking southbound past cathedral over the national mall. beautiful day outside. just a few fair weather clouds drifting harmlessly overhead. here is our exclusive sky cast 4. pretty much like what they have outside right now. and by 7:00 tonight, these clouds are going to start breaking up after the sun goes down. so much of the overnight hours tonight. skies will be partly to mostly clear. a light wind, a clear sky and super dry air in place. it's going to be really, really chilly tomorrow morning. i don't think national airport can drop below 50 degrees. we haven't been below 50 since the middle of may. but all of the suburbs -- all of the suburbs west and north will be in the 40s by tomorrow morning. a bright and sunny day coming our way for later on tomorrow. going out this evening, not a bad evening to be outside. skies will be clear. but turning chilly. bring a jacket. evening temperatures, upper 50s and low 60s. the day ahead for tomorrow, school kids have a jacket ready for bus stop weather first thing tomorrow morning. all code green for tomorrow. no weather problems at all. lows tonight, check out these numbers, everyone. 51 downtown and low to mid 50s bayside. you go away from the water and away from the urban heat island. check these numbers out. 42 in frederick. 40 in hagerstown. 40 in martinsburg, patchy frost out here. there is a forecast advisory in far western maryland. so it's going to be a cold start tomorrow morning. coldest in the suburbs for sure. low to mid 40s in most of the suburbs. low to mid 50s in town. then for tomorrow, a bright and sunny day on the way, going out that early morning dog walk or jog. jackets needed in the morning. it will be a quick warmup so good news coming your way. and highs tomorrow, what a nice day. generally to the upper 60s and low 70s. here's that all-important seven-day forecast. a cold start tomorrow and a cool day tomorrow. clouds back late on wednesday with a chance for some light showers. probably not until after dark wednesday and light showers off and on through thursday. then drying out just in time for the weekend, and warming up again as well. highs back near 80 for both saturday and for sunday. >> thanks, chuck. first at 4:00, a billboard backlash in prince george's county. new digital bill boards could be moving in and some folks aren't so happy about that. here's what they'll look like. you may have noticed some at d.c. bus shelters. that same company is hoping to get the okay to make some billboards around prince george's digital. the signs would do advertisements and also offer public service information as well. but some folks are saying absolutely not. >> it's like a giant television screen in the sky. it just doesn't make any sense. >> coming up on news4 at 5:00, bureau chief tracee wilkins looks into that billboard controversy. and today's news for your health. a debate over electronic cigarettes. those e-cigarettes. this newest research found they may not be as effective in helping cancer patients give up smoking. researchers studied more than 1,000 cancer patients enrolled in a smoking cessation program. at the end of the program, e-cigarette users were just as likely to keep smoking tobacco as the others. sales of e-cigarettes have skyrocketed in recent years, despite questions about their benefits and potential risks. they're calling it a milestone in neurosurgery. it's called an awake craneot me. here's how it works. the surgeons have successfully removed a brain tumor from a patient while she was awake for part of it. the surgeons wanted to make sure she could perform certain movements on command. >> i remember them saying wake up, it's time to wake up. and i remember being told things like frown, smile, squeeze my hand. >> the brain actually has no sensation. so the only thing that actually hurts is the skin. the bone doesn't hurt and the brain doesn't hurt. >> just amazing. dr. kelly says brain tumor patients are good candidates for this kind of surgery. tracking down the man accused of murdering a pennsylvania state trooper. police believe they are closing in on the suspect who has been on the run for more than a week. you're

them. here's nbc's ron allen with the latest. >> reporter: federal agents joining the hunt for eric frein look ready for war. the massive manhunt several square miles around the suspend's home, following a trail left behind, including weapons like this ak-47, and ammunition possibly used in the ambush. >> up until now, his advantage has been this is his backyard. we are pushing him hard. he is no longer safe. >> reporter: as the dragnet closes in, and a two-day emergency lockdown for thousands of residents in immediate danger lifted, many now wonder how far away is safe enough. this man is leaving his home for now. do you think he's still around? >> they believe he's in the area, yes. >> reporter: that's what they said? >> that's what they're saying. >> reporter: but his neighbor is staying put. >> i don't feel he's going to be shooting civilians. he's got something in for law enforcement. that's why i'm not nervous. >> reporter: police believe frein may have been spotted several times while traveling 20 miles through rugged terrain on foot. as they try to reassure communities where many businesses and schools have been shut for days that the danger soon will pass. is it safe enough to reopen schools? >> those are individual decisions the school districts have to make. we have every reason to believe that frein is focused on law enforcement and specifically the state police. right now at 5:00, armed and dangerous. what prosecutors now say they found inside the car of the man who jumped a white house fence and made it inside the executive mansion. telling her

more menacing than first appeared. 42-year-old omar gonzalez was formally charged with unlawful entry, but prosecutors said the army veteran was arrested in virginia in july with a shotgun, and a map with the white house circled in his car. carrying just a knife, he jumped the offense friday, crossed the lawn and got through the main door to the white house before he was arrested. no attack dog was used. no gun fired at him. the obamas had just left. former secret service agents are appall appalled. >> you cannot allow an intruder to make it that far. if you have to kill the individual, then you kill the individual. >> reporter: president obama today was not critical. >> i'm grateful and satisfied. >> reporter: the agency is investigating who made mistakes friday and why. here on the north side of the white house today, there is this new temporary fence. but most of the white house fence, as it was on friday, as it's been for decades, people can come right up it. like these people. it's only six feet high or so, easy to scale. and the public wants to get this close. >> we all should have access to the white house. >> instead we should have security inside if they need it. >> reporter: and that's the secret service goal. >> protecting the president and the first family, but also protecting the status of the white house as the people's house. >> reporter: now a review of how better to accomplish goal number one. more on omar gonzalez when he was stopped in virginia in july. he didn't have just a shotgun. it was a sawed off shotgun. possession is a crime. police say he had a couple rifles and other guns with him. they say a few weeks ago he was stopped here at the white house on the other side, the south side, with a hatchet in his belt. he was not arrested. they say when he was arrested on friday, they got permission to search his car and found 800 rounds of ammunition. but no gun. and this final word. the best weapon the secret service might have here to prevent this kind of intrusion is the belgian attack dogs. the handlers are out here frequently and brag about how fast and fierce and well-trained the dogs are. but on friday, news crews out here say they saw no dogs and no handlers. i'm steve handelsman, news4. back to you. >> thanks, steve. it is not unusual to hear about the white house fence jumpers, but making it inside the executive mansion is unprecedented. tonight as secret service reviews its policies, we're looking back at other incidents and the close calls and the changes that have followed. mark segraves continues our team coverage, live outside the white house now. mark? >> reporter: well, you're right about this not being an unusual occurrence. a secret service report released more than a decade ago found there had been hundreds of securityreaches here at the white house since 1970, including two separate gunmen firing bullets at the white house, and more than 100 fence jumpers. every time there has been a security breach, there has been an after action reviewed to review the security procedures, and in some cases, like in this case, there have been security changes that will impact the public. up until 1995, you could drive down pennsylvania avenue right in front of the white house. local leaders complained when the secret service closed pennsylvania avenue to cars, but to no avail. >> they would just close all the streets, put up barricades and not let anybody go through. >> reporter: over the years, security breaches included a man crashing a plane on the lawn in 1994 to a man trying to drive through a gate just this weekend. fence jumpers have ranged from a man killed by security in 1976 as he ran toward the white house to the man last month dressed as pokey man who made it over the fence. lawmakers and tourists and residents all said making pedestrians go through a check point before walking near the white house is going too far. >> the first instinct of secret service is to protect their own you know whats rather than to protect the president and the public. >> i'm not quite sure how beneficial it would be. maybe it's a good idea. i guess the government will have to decide. from my perspective, i think it would slow me down in my training. >> too much security already. >> reporter: now you're looking at one of the changes that's happened just since friday. that's those fences that have been put up keeping people just a few feet away from the fence where the jumper went over. another change that we have witnessed just in the past 90 minutes that we have been standing here, twice secret service police have closed the sidewalk and pennsylvania avenue to pedestrians, bicycles. they have moved everybody back into the park, kept them there for at 1.15 minutes before giving the all-clear. no ex pla medication given as to why. live at the white house, mark segraves, news4. >> thanks, mark. new developments tonight in the search for a missing uva student. tonight we are learning more about the man seen leaving with hannah graham the night she disappeared. his name is jesse matthews. police left his apartment this afternoon. they were carrying several bags of evidence. matthews is what's being called a person of interest in this case. but he's also wanted by the police for another reason. bureau chief julie carey is in charlottesville now with more on that. julie? >> reporter: well, charlottesville police say they got what they came for here today when they did a second search of jesse matthews' apartment. and now they hope these arrest warrants on reckless driving charges will help bring this person of interest in for questioning. by issuing this wanted poster, charlottesville police stepped up their search for jesse matthew. he is the last person known to have seen missing uva student, hannah graham. detectives also returned to matthew's apartment for the second time. they were looking for specific items that have emerged in the investigation, and they found them, carrying out three bags. now they want to find 32-year-old jesse matthew. >> we want to speak to him, because again, he was the last person we can show was -- we know was with hannah graham. so he has got to have information that we need. >> reporter: this is the security video that shows matthew on the downtown mall early saturday morning, september 13th, just before he and hannah graham were seen at the tempo restaurant together. there was new frustration for police over the weekend when matthew and several relatives came into headquarters and asked for a lawyer. police found one, but matthew then left without answering questions. later that evening, elsewhere in al bemarl county, matthew drove off at a high rate of speed. that led to these two reckless driving charges that police will use to arrest matthew if they can find him. >> there are different family members that have been spoken to, and i won't go into who has been cooperative and not. but needless to say, he is not here. >> reporter: this is matthew's landlord. she last spoke to him thursday and says it's hard to learn he's the person of interest. >> i'm horrified. i'm in shock. >> reporter: do you believe he could have anything to do with her disappearance, or do you think it's unlikely? >> he seems a mild man. >> reporter: new investigative help has also arrived from some northern virginia and maryland agencies. on the scene today, a k-9 team from fairfax county helped with a more focused search along with park rangers from anne arundel county. let's take a closer look at that wanted poster. some of the details. jesse matthew is described at 6'2", 270 pounds. police believe he may be in his sister's light blue nissan sentra with virginia tag vac4575. he has friends and contacts in other states in this area, in addition to virginia. he knows people in maryland, the district of columbia, pennsylvania and new york. we learned today he has lived in charlottesville his entire life, working at uva hospital, but has also been a cab driver in the city in the past. the next big development could come as soon as tomorrow when charlottesville police are expecting some results back from the state crime lab on evidence they submitted there. for now, reporting live from charlottesville, i'm julie carey, news4. >> hannah graham's parents spoke out yesterday for the first time since their daughter went missing. they called the situation every parent's nightmare. at one point her father held up a stuffed rabbit hannah received as a newborn. he called it hannah's guardian angel. he says she took it everywhere, except last month, when she returned to college. >> constant companion that is, except for about six months when hannah was 3 years old, when he was lost at nursery. we found bb and brought it home to hannah. all we want to do now is to bring hannah home safely. >> hannah's father also said they had been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. despite nearly two weeks of searching, there are still no signs of two young children from montgomery county. volunteers searched some wooded areas across the county over the weekend, but they did not find any clues that would lead them to sarah and jacob hoggle. those two disappeared earlier this month while they were with their mother. she is now in custody, but police say catherine hoggle is not providing any information about where she may have taken those kids. new developments in the ray rice scandal. jason pugh is at the live desk now with comments from the ravens' owner about an espn report regarding the team's handling of the investigation. jason? >> yeah, ravens owner steve by shotty said the character of his organization was attacked after espn released a lengthy report claiming the team knew what happened inside that elevator the night ray rice hit his then fiancee. the report also claims the ravens pushed the nfl for more lenient punishment for ray rice. bisciotti spoke with the media for almost an hour today refuting that report. he says he has no plans of firing anyone for the incident and how it was handled. bisciotti claims the report was completely one-sided. >> i wish that they had at least acknowledged that during their fact-finding they were get the majority of this story from people who are paid to work to get ray's suspension overturned. i think maybe people would have looked at it and said, well, let's keep that in mind when we read it too. >> now the team did release a statement before the press conference today, saying they did not ask for any favors from the nfl or roger goodell when it came to the punishment of ray rice. from the live desk, jason pugh, news4, sports. >> thanks, jason. flames and smoke filled the sky after a fixture at a local community caught fire. we'll look at what's left and report how investigators are trying to figure out what started it. a daycare employee is accused of biting a toddler to teach him a lesson. tonight we're digging into the woman's history of criminal arrest, why she was allowed to work with children, even though she hadn't passed a background check yet. the mother of four young children murdered inside her home. two of her children were there when it happened. i'm pat collins. the story coming up. news4. oh, you might not only need the jackets. maybe the coats tomorrow morning. that's how cool it will be in some locations. and then -- well then maybe the umbrella. the storm system moving up the coast could bring a lot of rain. i'll show when it moves in next in my forecast. the three afghan army officers who disappeared in cape cod over the weekend have been found. they were located at the border today, trying to cross into canada at niagara falls. they were part of a group of 14 afghan soldiers taking part in a military exercise at the national guard base in cape cod. they slipped away from their military escorts during a trip to the mall on saturday night. they were not armed. it's widely believed they came to the u.s. with the intention of seeking asylum in canada. you will not feel secure, even in your own bedrooms. that is the latest threat from isis in an apparent audio recording that calls on followers to kill americans and our allies. nbc news cannot verify the authenticity of that recording. but speaking on msnbc's "morning joe" secretary of state john kerry called the islamic militant group one of the most dangerous he's ever seen. >> they have a radical extremist philosophy, cultish attitude. it's not a religious outlook. it's a self-described cult that is evil. they are avowed genocidists. >> kerry says the coalition to stop isis is growing, and includes several middle eastern nations. a young mother was murdered in her apartment. her two very young children were there to see it all. her family says her trust in others might be responsible and might have cost her her life. tonight that family is looking for answers as the police try to find a suspect and the motive. pat collins is near the scene now in southeast d.c. with more. pat? >> reporter: jim, tonight the mother of a murder victim has words of forgiveness for her daughter's killer. if you could talk to the person responsible for this, what would you say? >> i forgive whoever did it and please turn yourself in. no matter where you go, or what you do, god has got his eyes on you. bring yourself to justice. >> reporter: the victim, 27-year-old dee dee conyers. she was a dancer, she was an artist. she was found dead inside her apartment by her grandfather. >> i was in total shock. i really was. i was hysterical. i could not call 911 fast enough. >> reporter: dee dee conyers was the mother of four children. two of her children, a 2-year-old boy and 3-month-old girl, were inside the apartment when she was shot and killed. now this happened on september 14th around 7:00 p.m. but we're just learning the details now. dee dee conyers had just moved into this apartment. most of her belongings were still in boxes. there was no sign of a forced entry. her grandfather says dee dee was a kind woman who would feed and shelter people who she really didn't know. he says her kindness may have cost her her life. >> the monster that did it. and the monster needed to be caught. it was a monster that killed my granddaughter. he needs to be caught. >> reporter: police have posted a $25,000 reward in this murder case. live in southeast, pat collins, news4. >> we are starting to feel a little chill in the air. doug kammerer, what is going on? >> i just want to say, it's finally great to meet you of the. >> oh, hi. yeah, i know. >> a great job in the morning. >> i appreciate your work. and i like this action right here. >> yeah? >> yeah. >> all right. we'll see how this goes. nationals. if you win the world series, this thing -- even going to be jayson werth up here. maybe not that much. but nationals, i'm doing this for you guys. let's take a look outside right now. yes, on the cool side for sure. you wake up tomorrow morning too? >> i certainly am. be there at 4:26, doug. >> 4:26 is when they start in the morning. yeah, i'm up watching every day. outside right now, it is on the cool side. and it's been a little breezy too. high temperatures today only in the low 70s for most areas. right now sitting at 72 degrees. winds out of the northwest at 15 miles per hour. so we are seeing that wind. and that wind has been upwards of 20 to even 25 miles per hour during the afternoon. look at the numbers right now. 63 in gaithersburg and hagerstown. 68 in manassas. if this was 11:00 at night, that would be normal. but temperatures are already at this level at 6:00. so we are going to be very, very cool tonight. look at the numbers to the north. already down to 57 in pittsburgh and 55 in state college. that's the cooler air that continues to move on into the region. so what to wear tomorrow. especially for tomorrow morning. really going to be the first time out at the bus stop that the kids are going to need the long sleeves. maybe the long pants. maybe the jacket. if not the coat tomorrow. because that's how cool we're talking. i think many of you will wake up to temperatures around 40 degrees. and look at this. a frost advisory in effect. not for our area. we're not going to get that cool. but it is for the mountains of west virginia, back towards garrett county, maryland, as well. and even parts of the allegheny front. so we're talking some cool air,

dry, we need to see some rain. i think it's coming. not tomorrow. future weather, tuesday, 8:30 in the morning, looking good. tomorrow afternoon, i think a few clouds make their way in. mostly mid to high level clouds. still a very nice tuesday afternoon, just on the cool side. look at wednesday morning. here we are at 9:positive 30, the clouds around here and late in the afternoon, here comes the rain. it looks like we're going to have to increase rain chances, especially late wednesday into the day on thursday. some of us may actually see some beneficial rain, some pretty good amounts, too. we'll talk about that over the next couple days. 70 degrees in leesburg for tomorrow with abundant sunshine. 73 in d.c. 72 towards fredericksburg. high tomorrow in hagerstown, 68. and i do think some of you will stay in the upper 60s tomorrow. then on wednesday, we get back to 75 as those clouds move in. so does that chance of rain late in the day. most of the day will be dry on wednesday. it's really late wednesday into thursday that we see most of the rain and look at the weekend. the weekend once again looking pretty good. high temperatures around that 80-degree mark. so get the jacket

cameras captured over and over and over again. since september 2011, at least 107 people in virginia, maryland, and d.c., have been hurt or killed doing this. trespassing, walking on the tracks. including along these tracks in prince georges county. >> the tracks are the fastest way to get from point a to point b. it's much shorter. >> walter knows the risk it brings. his daughter, mary. >> she literally was pinned to the front of the train. >> was hit and killed by a csx train while walking on the tracks here just north of the station in 2012. >> so my guess is, she froze. it threw her. her neck was snapped. >> walter keeps a wall of photos, her art, and her ashes in a bedroom. >> a beautiful girl, talented, smart. >> reporter: but she's not the only one killed walking the tracks in recent months. far from it. look at this, the bushes give away near the tracks so many people have crossed through here, there's a bit of an informal walking tracks. so we deployed cameras around the area to see if people would cross. and they did. including this man. >> are you concerned it might not be safe to cross those tracks? >> i look both ways. >> you been doing it for a while? >> yeah. >> he drove here from out of town, parked his track on one side and climbed over the tracks to shop at a store on the other. he said it was easier than driving through traffic. >> did you have any concern the train would sneak out of nowhere and clip you? >> they can be very quiet. i have a 30% hearing loss, so i look both ways. >> within five minutes of arriving, we spotted trespassers in river dale, in hyattsville and in beltville, where lourdes gomez tried to cross, before she got hit, knocked out cold, broken bones, and her teeth knocked out. i knew that i was running a risk, she says. but that she doesn't see a no trespassing sign or any fences. >> our iteam cameras and crews didn't see any trespassing signs at any of the three locations, nor any fences to block track climbers. so we asked csx why, and the agency declined multiple requested for interview, instead issuing a written statement, saying, we do install signs and placards along the right-of-way when possible, but these are frequently vandalized. education and awareness campaigns are used. >> see tracks, think train. >> they have their own police force to patrol the tracks and has come into contact with 150 trespassers, in some cases, turned them away, some cases, arrested them. >> walter worries for more because of his daughter who made itn the tracks anyway. >> a federal railroad dins

what, it's going to be really chilly. you'll walk outside tomorrow and you'll go, woo, what was that? and that, mother nature bringing in some fall weather. the first official morning of fall, and it will feel like that, temperatures in the 40s across the region. a pretty nice shot city wise. that urban heat island keeping things warmer. currently at 62 degrees. winds out of the north at 10 miles per hour. the northerly winds will help things feel cooler. still 54 in manassas. 54 to winchester. so pretty cool. waking up tomorrow morning, here's what to wear. you know the jackets are going to be a necessity, maybe the long pants. you won't need the umbrella. however, by wednesday, i think we will need the umbrella. talking about cold, there's a frost veadvisory. the first one of the season. it's not going to get as cold, anywhere near our region. we normally don't get our frost until late october into november. not worried about that. radar is clear. this is just some ground clutter. no worries about that. no rain tonight. however, tomorrow, we'll start to see something happen. we have high clouds moving in across our region. that's from the storm to the south. this system has a lot of moisture associated with it, and eventually a lot of that moisture will make a beeline to our region. as it does, we'll be seeing our rain chances on the increase. future weather, starting tomorrow, 8:30, just higher clouds that we're dealing with. some sunshine tomorrow too. tomorrow afternoon, another beautiful day. i really do think tomorrow will be a fantastic afternoon, even though we'll start off quite cool, by noon, you could take off the jacket. wednesday morning, here's the cloud cover. what about the rain? here it comes around 9:00 on wednesday night. it could be fairly heavy in some locations. i think it could even last through the day on thursday. i know the redskins play on thursday. hoping that it's out of here by game time, but we could be in for a pro longed rainy period. something to watch. tonight, here's what we know, clear skies, cold in the suburbs, down to about 40, to 51 in the city, a definite chill. tomorrow afternoon, highs in the upper 60s to around 70 to the west. plenty of sunshine in the afternoon. as we move through the next couple days, we lose the real chill as we move back to around 75 on wednesday, but a better chance of rain. i've upped these chances on wednesday and thursday. 72 degrees on thursday, north easterly wind, and we're not done with the warm weather just yet. back up to around 80 degrees on saturday and sunday. so a little taste of fall and then a little bit of summer, just going, wait a second, i'm not done yet. >> looking good out there. the leaves are starting to change. the beards are out in full swing. it's getting there, guys. it's getting there, keep it up. >> we got another week or two to go. >> injuries piling up for the redskins today and the toughest loss isn't just felt on the field.

kind of saw this coming, deangelo out for the rest of the season. going to hurt. >> the worst part, it was a non-contact injury, very unfortunate situation. the list of injuries for the redskins is getting longer and longer. they're already without their starting quarterback, their starting tight end, their starting nose tackle and now you can add your best cornerback to that list. deangelo hall is done for the season after tearing his achilles yesterday. it's not just his play on the field, but his leadership that will be greatly missed on defense. >> he's a veteran guy and has that experience that you can't coach. he communicates well with the young guys, a great leader by example. but to lose not just the player of deangelo, the person and the leader, it's a big blow. not going to lie. >> could have been a lot worse. could have been acl. could have been something, you know, that was quote/unquote, a bigger deal than an achilles. so this being injured thing is kind of new for me, so i'm going to heed the advice of all these people and i'm going to listen to them and i'm going to come back better. >> over in baltimore, the ravens released a statement denying a report from espn about how they handled the ray rice case. it claims they tried to cover up some information, and that owner steve bisciotti asked commissioner roger goodell for leniency on rice's punishment. >> almost everything in there is anonymous, but it's clear from the subject matter that there's -- it's ray's attorney, it's ray's agent, and it's ray's friends. and, you know, they are building a case for rein statement. and the best way to build a case for rein statement is to make everybody else look like they're lying. >> now bisciotti also went on to say that no one in the organization for the ravens will lose their job due to the handling of this ray rice incident. we go from football to baseball now. nationals fans are ready for playoff baseball. tickets for the nlds went on sale this morning and sold out in 17 minutes. you can still purchase standing room only tickets the day of the games. until then, just seven more regular seasons contests for the nats. they had the night off

for virginia 95, 66 and on 395. just the volume into landmark and headed for the 14th street bridge. all lanes are open into downtown. mike, andrea, back to you. things are looking great on the

washington monument as the sun starts to peak over the horizon on -- peek over the horizon. the sunrise is looking gorgeous. the sun will officially rise at 6:56 so we're getting pretty close and we're starting to get beautiful colors on the michael & son weather cam. partly sunny by the afternoon. temperatures not quite as warm as they were yesterday. yesterday we got up to 76 which is close to our average high. todaat noon and 72 for a high temperature which is where we'll still be at 5:00. but notice those winds much lighter out of the northeast at only about 5 miles per hour for most of the day. i think that every once in a while it could gust to around 10 miles per hour but no big deal. 55 and mostly clear at reagan national right now. relative humidity is 62% which sounds high but when temperatures are this low, you really want to just look at the dew point. the dew point being 42. that's a nice comfortable level for us and we have nice comfortable spread between the temperature and humidity so we don't have any fog out there. just clear skies overhead. rye now it is only 43 degrees in gaithersburg, though. a chilly start to the day. 45 in 47 in hagerstown. 43 in culpeper and only 39 degrees in westminster. as you get closer to the water, it's a little warmer. 55 degrees in annapolis. so on satellite and radar, you can see our approaching coastal system. we're not looking at any rain on the map just yet, but you can kind of see those showers sneaking in to the raleigh- durham area. that shower activity will spread toward us as we head into wednesday but not for today. 9 futurecast we'll time out the arrival first. we'll keep it sunny through noon on tuesday. wednesday we're dry through the evening commute but here we are at 8:00 p.m. and the first line of showers starting to hoff into senior maryland. then heavy rain moves in during the overnight hours and we will see the possibility of that rain holding on through the early morning commute on thursday. so we could see some of the rain showers still lingering as we're heading out the door. that's why thursday is a yellow alert day. notice that the rain also keeps those temperatures down. a high of only 70 degrees on thursday after a high of 72 both on tuesday and wednesday. but a beautiful weekend in store. andrea, back to you. >> thank you, erica. the secret service is increasing its

the white house with hor on that lax -- more on that lax security on friday and the reaction since then. >> reporter: i got white house yesterday afternoon and there were a lot of tourists coming by to take pictures and i asked the tourists if they noticed anything different. for the most part they said no. there were a couple more security guards and officials standing out there than i usually see. there was an extra barrier. when i pointed it out to the tourist, they said it doesn't bother them at all as long as it's keeping everyone safe. we're still learning more about 42-year-old omar gonzalez, the man police say jumped over the white house fence and rushed towards the white house making it all the way inside before he was arrested. police say he had a knife on him. he reportedly told officers he was trying to warn the president the atmosphere is collapsing n. court prkors say gone -- prosecutors say gonzalez had 800 rounds ammunition in his car where apparently he has been living. in virginia he was arrested on a felony charge in july for eluding police and carrying a sawed off shot gun. here's what the press secretary had to say yesterday about this incident. >> providing security at the white house is complicated business. the white house is many people know one of the more popular tourist destinations in our nation's capital. thousands of tourists on a typical day will tour the white house. that means that thousands of tourists, members of the public will walk out that front door at the conclusion of their tour. the white house is of course a place of business. it's essentially a large office building. it is where members of white house staff and white house journalists show up every day to do their work and facilitating your entry and exit to this complex with a minimal amount of convenience while also providing security is an important priority. >> reporter: of course a full investigation is under way to determine exactly what happened, how this could happen and how they can keep it from happening again. even more measures could be put in place soon like public check points outside the white house. i'm nikki burdine, back to you. >>

their integrity. the report accusing the ravens engaging in a pattern of misinformation and misdirection. to counter that bisciotti took questions for about 45 minutes on the clock. during the q & a he said he believes most of the sources used for the story are people in ray rice's camp who are, quote, trying to build a case for restatement. he did also mention he was sorry for not insisting the team get a copy of the tape from inside the elevator saying at the time he wasn't concerned or interested enough to demand it. while he added he was surprised rice only got a two-game suspension initially, that had been start punishment in the past for players of domestic cases. >> the league never elevated domestic violence to the platform that it should have been on relative to some of these other offenses, bar fights and marijuana possessions and things like that. >> bisciotti went on to say he thought the front office had done their job and no one at the ravens would be fired over t. espn responded by saying it stands by its story. the league has turned to robert mueller so investigate its handling of the ray rice case. if you want to see the entire statement from the ravens, that is our our website wusa9.com. you can see everything that they had to refute there. >> if you saw the outside the lines report, one of the reporters said they had 20 sources in some cases

mob breaking out -- to be a flash mob breaking out near a very po erica grow is back at 6:45 with more on today's weather and maybe a yellow alert in our future. >> it looks pretty likely that thursday will have to be upgraded to a yellow alert. we have beautiful weather for today and tomorrow, especially if you like that fall-like feel. it feels crisp out there. on the michael & son weather cam, you can see we have plenty of blue sky overhead. just a few clouds drifting in from the south. you'll see them in a minute on satellite and radar. but in our day planner, temperatures remaining in the 60s even through the noon hour. a high temperature of 72. that's still where we're going to be at 5:00. notice the winds out of the north and northeast at only about 5 miles per hour. so that's good news. we don't have as much of a gusty breeze. 51 degrees in fredricksburg. that's one of the warmer spots on the map. 45 in frederick and leesburg. only 43 in cup pepper and in gaithersburg. and a big difference from what we had out there yesterday at this time. 18 degrees cooler in winchester and frederick. 16 degrees cooler in manassas. that cool air that was rushing on in yesterday, it did lead to a nice afternoon, though it was breezy. now the center of high pressure that brought us the sunshine yesterday is closer to us. so that allows the winds to settle down and it still keeps the clear skies overhead. but an area of low pressure is approaching now making its way toward the coastal carolinas, and this will spread rain into the metro as we head into wednesday night and thursday morning. it looks like the heaviest rain will be during the overmight hours wednesday night into thursday morning. if there's lingering rain during the thursday morning commute, that will be a yellow alert day. for today just green alerts. beautiful weather out there. lots of sunshine. it will be a little bit chilly with a high of 72 degrees in manassas and fredricksburg. 70 hagerstown. 71 in gaithersburg. when you're standing in the shade, you'll definitely feel that little bit of a chill in the air but in the sunshine it should feel very nice because the winds are not going to be an issue today. overnight tonight, some high cloud cover starts to move in. temperatures won't be quite as chilly as they were early this morning. 50 degrees for your low tonight in manassas. 50 in orange as well. 48 in martinsburg and 56 in downtown d.c. if you are heading to the game tonight, game time temperature should be about 70 degrees with the mostly clear sky. make sure

you want to get out there and support your nats. so heading into wednesday, we're going to see an increase in cloud cover. the showers will hold off till after the evening commute. so we're keeping a green alert for wednesday. but then thursday that chance for rain will be with us all day long but greatest chances for rain will be during the morning commute so that's a yellow alert day. 70 degrees

reading, 28 in pottstown. everyone is at or below freezing. 29 in glassboro, 31 in wilmington, also dover, 30 degrees in atlantic city. again, when you factor in the winds, it's still feeling colder

and west. we won't really be expecting anything in the way of precip until late this weekend. here's future weather. any snow stays well to our north. we do,ç however, stay cold endg out the week but cold and dry for your friday. then going into the weekend we're dry. sunday we're pretty much dry. it's not until late sunday night when the warm air and rain move in. we have a warmup sunday that

what we are going to see south of buffalo in hamburg yet again. first what we're dealing with now, this caught may eye. can you see the white hanging over right underneath this roof? that's a mound of snow. i'm getting concerned about all the snow that's going to be falling off the roofs. it's there, across the street on the hotel. it's also sloughed over the edge there. our temperatures as we get into the monday range we're talking 40s, even 50s. that's going to be a significant problem. another problem is people are still getting stuck. okay? it's not like you get rescued and you're fine. we're here at the entrance of our hotel. this truck tried to turn in and is now completely stuck and blocking the entrance. there was someone earlier today, took them three hours to dig their car out. now another driver is stuck. now let's go out from under the overhang and show you that people drive up to the hotel right now but they can't get any farther because this area isn't plowed. they're doing the minimum which is exhausting and tough enough as it is. that's all we really need at this point is just the very basics. this is how you see the road in the wintertime, typically. this is a road that i'm in the middle of right here. you would follow the poles, this is the edge of the road, so people would know in the winter when you can't see. the snow will get plowed. you may not be able to see some of the sticks. what do you do with all this snow? i wish we could send it to california to help them with their drought. on top of that, we get another foot, foot and a half tonight, into tomorrow and into friday. we're in the middle of this whole thing. you cry a little inside when you see we're going to get half inch let alone another foot and a half potentially here in buffalo. i'm meteorologist stephanie abrams. back to you. now your nbc 10 first alert weather with meteorologist sheena parveen. >> she makes our weather sound pretty good right about now, especially as we go through tonight. doesn't matter how cold it is, at least we're not seeing what they are seeing in parts of buffalo. we have another cold night in store. the cold will last through the end of the week, too. there is a warmup in the forecast. it will be here for the eagles game on sunday. the eagles will have way better weather than they had in green bay last week. lehigh valley, mid to upper 20s, 26 allentown, 29 reading, 28 in pottstown. 31 in philadelphia, 29 mt. holly, south jersey and delaware either at or below freezing except in stone harbor where temperatures, mid-30s but it's still cold. when you factor in the wind, it feels 5 to 10 degrees colder outside. feels like the teens in allentown, feels like single digits up in mt. pocono and through south jersey, delaware, temperatures here are mainly feeling like the mid-to-low 20s at this hour. it will be cold as we go through tonight. the cold air is sitting through the northern half of the country. there you see 20s and 30s here but through the southern states the cold air isç finally startg to retreat back a little bit. that's worth a little milder, however, we will have a warmup in the forecast, too. just not tonight. tonight low temperatures will be around 23 in allentown, 24 reading, mid-20s in quakertown. not those record lows we saw this morning but still cold. 27 for trenton tomorrow morning. 27 norristown, 30 for northeast philly. upper 20s mt. holly and upper 20s to low 30s along the shore. mid-20s for vineland, 30 for the morning low in dover around philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, we should be in the upper 20s. everyone will be cold tomorrow morning. locally, though, we're mainly dry. the poconos could see light snow coming in from the system that is really slamming parts of the great lakes right now. pretty quick-moving system. poconos could see light snow showers. that's really about it. any other snow stays up to our north as we go to end out the week. we stay dry. so here's friday 5:00 p.m. dry but cold. as we go into the weekend we stay dry for most of the weekend. the warmer temperatures get to sunday. this is uned is 11:00 p.m. not until late sunday night is when we expect rain. it should be holing off until after the eagles game. 28 for the low in philadelphia, 23 north and west. then for tomorrow, windy and cold mostly sunny, temperatures in the mid-to-low 40s. not as cold as today but, again, you have to factor in that wind. it's still going to feel cold. by friday, temperatures are back down into mid-30s into the weekend, though, we are in the mid-40s for saturday. the warmup starts there and it continues for sunday for the eagles 58 degrees. late showers sunday. should be missing the eagles game but by monday we could be around 70 degrees. i'll tell

and carbon monoxide levels were so high in this house, listen to this, 30 times as high as the danger amount, that will set off a carbon monoxide detector f this family had carbon detectors in there this level so high it would have saturated them and made them malfunction. well, somehow this little girl got up in the in middle have the night and called 911. she knew how to do that. she knew something was wrong even though as we say every year carbon monoxide odorless invisible. she doesn't see anything bad. she doesn't smell anything bad. but she knows something is bad and wrong. she

furnace. i covered a story in cleveland once where they took that pipe off and family of five killed by carbon monoxide and they found years of bird nests, one on top of the other. birds were making homes in there. it eventually block the exhaust from the heat, furnace getting out and that made carbon monoxide build up enough to kill family of five and just this spring in my own home, my heat dryer which runs by gas coincidently, i heard all this scratching noise necessary there, and i said what is that? i saw birds were flying in. they somehow got their flap open and started making a cozy spring home to have their nest. i heard them. i didn't want to kick them out. i heard little birds hatched and all. that hey add birds nest in there and took care of that bring had carbon build up in my washroom. it happens. we don't know if it happened here but that is something you want to check. as we go in the heat season you want to check your fire nice has the right exhaust and believe it or
