Reporter in 1984, police were investigating the most highprofile missing child case in a generation. It turns out a neighbor of Kevin Collins had a sordid past. Wayne jackson had a record that involved child molestation. He also had a black dog, just like the man kevin was last seen talking to. This case is a case that haunts the San Francisco police department. Reporter now, 29 years later, police chief greg suhr is revealing for the first time that jackson is a person of interest in the case. But why wasnt he arrested back then . He was detained. He was interviewed. He allowed a consent search of the same house we just did a search warrant on. A photo spread was shown to the two witnesses that described the suspect. They werent able to pick him out of the photo spread. They knew enough about his past. They dropped the ball on this guy. Reporter mark glass, an advocate for missing children, says the pd should have taken their person of interest more seriously. This is a guy who kidnapped and raped a small child on Fishermans Wharf and then didnt appear for his court date. Then when he finally was apprehended, he only spent six months in jail and then three months probation. They knew enough about this guy. Reporter Wayne Jackson died in the sunset district five years ago. Police now say he went by many aliases, which made it difficult for investigators to know the full extent of his criminal past. Police are asking if anyone knew mr. Jackson to come forward and talk to investigators, and also i should mention, i spoke with kevins sister briefly on the phone tonight. She says the entire family is overwhelmed with the news that police could have had their man all those years ago. Reporting live, joe vazquez, kpix 5. Were about to see something we havent had in more than a week. Kpix 5 meteorologist paul deanno is in the weather center. Paul . Highdef doppler radar, we are looking at rain moving in. We look up to the north and see the leading edges of rainfall several hours away, but it is on its way to the bay area. But its not going to bring us widespread soaking rainfall. Were just talking scattered showers because most of the moisture will stay north. We will see some showers. Well talk about how much rain is coming to the bay area, coming up in a few minutes. The fbi is now involved in the Murder Investigation of that teenage girl in fairfield. The body of 13yearold jen was found friday. Releasing the cause of death at this time. It is not appropriate. The time and place will come later on, but at this point it would be hurtful to our investigation. Fairfield police want anyone who may have seen something to call them. That triple murder we told you about last night . Turns out, it was a drug deal gone bad. The 3 men were shot in a cabin near forestville in Sonoma County they were 26 yearold Raleigh Butler of petaluma. 46 yearold Richard Lewin of new york. And 42 yearold Todd Klarkowski of colorado. Investigators say they were in a bedroom with a lots of pot. What i hear, i guess there were 100 pounds, it was a 200 thousand dollar deal and some fool just took their life. The killer or killers are still on the loose. Governor brown ordered state workers to stop taking what he called unncessary trips at taxpayer expense. But cbs reporter sam shane found out people the governor himself appointed are still racking up the frequent flier miles. And, yep, youre paying for it. On a recent th people the governor himself appointed are still backing up the frequent flyer miles. And yep, youre paying for it. Reporter across the street from the capitol, our camera caught robin umberg leaving work early. Again. She was flying to her Southern California home in Orange County for the weekend, on your dime. Everybody knows something is wrong. Its common knowledge. Reporter weve concealed the identity of this inside source, who says umberg does this almost every month. She charges the trip to california taxpayers. But 90 of the trips violate governor jerry browns mandate. Umberg is just one of five top administrators of the California Department of Veterans Affairs who are members of what we call the cal vet travel club. Are you aware of how much youve been spending on travel . Yes. How much . The actual dollar figure i dont have. Reporter he is one of five executives who spent 82,000 in travel by 18 months, the biggest spender by far is top guy, peter gravitt, who spent nearly 32,000 on travel since may of 2011. Is the director available to talk to us about this . No. Reporter we were told hes traveling. Records show that 75 of trips have been to attend an event that were near his home. 45 of the trips are nonmission critical. The governor has said you can travel if its to audit, revenue collect, to do business. Well, we are doing business. But youre not. This is business. Weve looked at the records. Come on. Hes going down there for a fundraiser over a weekend. His house is down there. Why should the taxpayer pay for that . He goes down there to meet with those individuals, many of them who are corporate leaders, who have agreed and worked with us on trying to identify and hire veterans. Reporter its not just secretary gravitt. 16 of the 17 trips robin umberg took were for an event 12 miles from her home. Another undersecretary took 39 trips. 26of them were nonmission critical. How do they get away with taking so many questionable trips paid for by taxpayers . Reporter these five members approve each others travel. Where is the oversight . We have our internal Accounting Office that looks at travel, that looks at what is done. Any outside agency, the department of finance and others, can come in and look at what they want to look at. Do you think maybe they need to . I dont believe they do. Our reporter notified the Governors Office about his investigation, but the governor said he hadnt heard about it. And heres what happened when a producer asked him what he planned to do about the frequent flyers. Will you talk to us . Okay. Thank you very much. As for cal vet, the deputy secretary says top brass have no intention of cutting back on that travel. Coming up, the part of the bay area thats about to lose because of a battery problem. Why soon it will be hard to know if youre getting real salmon or the kind grown in a lab.

Kpix 5 reporter julie watts explains, soon you may not be able to tell if youre getting the real fish or the manmade kind. Reporter salmon is a popular and healthy choice. But would you eat salmon created in a lab . I dont think thats right for them to do that. Reporter introducing genetically modified salmon, created using genes from other fish. This wouldnt happen in a natural system. This is crossing different species. Reporter and this is the end result. These fish are all the same age and had the same parents. But take a look at the fish on top. Its genetically modified and much larger. The company that created the salmon claims they grow twice as fast. Each has genes from the two salmon. The fda is expected to approve the fish, saying its as safe to eat as other salmon, prompting public concern. It probably would not be labeled so people would have no idea at the store. If its gmo, i have a right to know reporter the fda does not require labeling for genetically modified crops, so its possible labeling wont be required for the new salmon either. It sounds frankly pretty scary. Reporter dr. Holman studies Public Perception of bioengineered food. Our Research Shows that if a product has that label, consumers are less likely to buy it. Reporter the fda says it recognizes the concerns customers have and encourages voluntary labeling. Julie watts, kpix 5.

Ive come to realize im jesus christ and i can do anything i [ bleep ] want to. And he [ bleep ] pinned him in between that shrub. Reporter homeless hitchhiker kai was in the back seat of this vehicle when this all went down. The guy went crazy. He gets in his car and tries to move the car. And we werent going to let him doing it. If he started driving that car around again, there would have been a hell of a lot of bodies in here. He just kept saying he was jesus christ. He used the n word, meaning the black people. He said we need to get them off of the earth. Reporter the pg e worker was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery for nonlife threatening injuries. He wasnt the only person the driver attacked. He put me in a bear hug and started beating the crap out of me. These two women are trying to help him. A guy that big can snap a woman like a pencil stick. So i went up behind him with a hatchet. Smash, smash, smash reporter and thats what tanya said saved her life.
