Many questions remain after a child sized coffin Holding Human organs was found on a philadelphia sidewalk. There are lots of questions that need answer, Lauren Johnson at medical Examiners Office in University City what what they are doing to answer those questions, heavy. People grab their cell phone and start taking video before Police Arrived and removed that cough win a bag of organs inside. They brought it to the medical Examiners Office a now a joint investigation. Police were so baffled by the discovery they started looking around the coffin and that sidewalk on west clear field street for some answers. Cemetery nearby was first place they searched. They sent up their Aviation Team of bright lights to carefully look over grave sites to see if anything looked unusual. Five blocks away another cemetery was searched and still nothing. They have brought in cadaver dogs to help with that search. Police still baffled by bag of organs sitting right there on the sidewalk inside a casket with no body. Everything was trans ported to the office of the medical examiner. They will do their investigation, northwest detectives will do their investigation and hopefully find out where the remains came from, hopefully we can find out where this childs casket came from and we can solve this crime. Witnesses on the scene last night say there was no foul odor there but before Police Arrived they didnt know what to think about what could be inside they left ate len until Police Arrived to make it a crime scene. Holiday does make it difficult for them to continue their investigation but what they planned to does reach out to Funeral Homes to see if there are any missing bodies, mike and alex. What a job that is, all right. 7 05. Investigation underway to what started this house fire. You can see the home, completely, gone. Flames broke out around 1 45 in olden and no injuries were reported. The family of the teen who was shot to death while driving is speaking exclusively to fox 29 about why they believed murder was motivated by american just road rage. Bianca robersons family said they believe 28 yearold allege gunman david desper targete the High School Grad because of the color of her skin. Desper shot 18 yearold in the head as two merged lanes than route 100 in west goshen township last week. Nationwide manhunt ended when desper turned himself in on sunday. Im hearing people constantly saying there was a road rage. I cant come to terms with that because i know my daughter, and my daughter could not have possibly done anything that will cause somebody to take a gun out and shoot in the head. Detectives covered this case told us they have not ruled out a hate crime as possible motive. More arrests could come, how about that, police say more arrests could come as they look into whether anyone helped this guy hide evidence from investigators. They did say they found a gun that looked like the murder weapon in his house. All right. 7 06. New jersey lawmakers got a deal and shut down is over. Late last night, probably in bed. Were back. Beach is opened. Parks are opened. Steve keeley is opened, and they is for business in trenton. We had dueling News Conferences first democratic legislative leaders at 10 and then governor at 11 00, the governor got his budget, finally but now he has another Lasting Legacy kind of memory, an inn like bridge gate beach gate has got these nationally renoun pictures. He addressed both, gotcha pings tours from the air and gotcha question here on the ground in trenton before the pictures were published and before he knew about them when a reporter from the same newspaper, newark star ledger, asked the governor if he left the beach on sunday and flew here to the state house did you get any sun today. Remember, the governor answered. I dont care going out on the beach after i have been working all morning to sit and talk with my wife and our guests for 40 minutes before i had to leave to come back to work as getting sun. That wasnt what i was out there to get. The way i took claudes with you were you outlaying out getting etan today. That wasnt what i was doing and that is not what those pictures show sitting there with the baseball hat, shorts, tshirt talking to my wife and our gets. I dont a will guys, i dont back away from it and i think that my poll numbers show i dont care about political optics. What i care about is doing is what right and wrong what was right for my family was for my family to be together and for me to be with them, and to do what we were doing. Reporter earlier in his time in office it was his handling of the early aftermath of the coastline of the new jersey after Hurricane Sandy that gave this governor so much positive press, and a huge approval rating, and now, near the end of his time in office same coastline, and that photo may be what some remember most. He didnt get etan maybe he says but he definitely got burned, didnt he. Oh, yeah, that is for sure. North korea has, fired off , they fire off this icbm, it is a inter continental ballistics missle known as a i cbm. It is late necessary a series of test firings. The United States tracked it for 37 minutes before it landed in the sea of japan. The launch of an icbm could be a game changer. That is what folks say. Powerful enough to reach anywhere in the United States of america, you know, were worried about hawaii, alaska, washington, oregon and california but now the whole country is feeling this tension now. So President Trump criticizing North Korean Kim jong un, tweeting does this guy have anything better to do with his life, hard to believe that south korea and japan will put up with this much longer. White house says President Trump and vladamire putin are set to meet this week. President is on his way to the g20 summit. Fox news correspondent doug luzader has more on this. Reporter president spending the fourth here in washington but his travel itinerary for rest of the week is pretty extensive and one meeting in particular, could be quite challenging. Unrest in german a head of the good 20 summit, protesters there have used boats, giant puppets of donald trump and other World Leaders to make their point especially on the huge Climate Change. But official meetings may be overshadowed by another on the sidelines, chance for russian president putin, and President Trump to meet facetoface. Obviously i will not get ahead of the president s conversation. Reporter white house wont say much about the meet bug there should be plenty to talk about including allegations of russian interference in last years u. S. Election as special counsel investigates possible links between russia and trump campaign, so far no evidence of collusion but the president s critics will watch putin trump meeting closely to see if the subject comes up. I hope it does, and not just that they have a good laugh bit. I mean russians all but admit they had were involved. Reporter president has long maintained that there was no collusion but there are other likely topics of discussion, including what to do about syria and north korea the white house no doubt looking for a dose of good coverage, on a international stage. Remember last time he went on that european trip there was a lot of good press that came out and largely because twitter was chaperoned. Reporter president s challenges wont end with the Putin Meeting he has been calling forral toys spend more on defense and same time he may have to defend his administrations decision to pull out of the paris Climate Change agreement. In washington, doug luzader for fox news. Thanks, doug. President trumps tweets often draw controversy and attention. Oh, yeah. He is now using social media to fight for a little boy in the uk. Charlie guard was born in april, with a syndrome which impacts his muscles, kidneys and brain. His parents have been fighting to keep him alive but experts say he wont recover, and they successfully argued in court he should be taken off of life support. On monday, President Trump, tweeted if we can help Little Charlie guard as for our friend in the uk and pope, we would be delighted to do so. His parents want to bring him to the u. S. For experimental treatment. We will follow that for sure, end up here in philadelphia over at chop. 7 12. Venous williams wins in the opening round of wimbledon but that wasnt what reporters wanted to talk about in the powe match press conference. She was asked about the june crash that took the life of the 78 yearold jerome bar son, originally of philadelphia tennis champ posted her condolences on the facebook page. Palm beach police say williams caused the crash, on june 9th. Witnesses say she ran a red light after Police Released their report, and the grieving family, well, they filed a wrongful death suit and they asked her bit, after her match there is really in word to describe like how devastating and, yeah, i am completely speechless and it is just, yeah, i mean im just.

And then we will go home, go to bed and come right back here cranky in the morning with scott will yams. We will just stay up all night we wont go to bed. Lets focus on the weather, we are talking about a warm, muggy start, we have partly sunny skies out there, temperatures will warm up rapidly a pair of sevens, humidity at 69 percent. Dew points in the mid to upper 60s. Plans cross the area 88 degrees in center city, down short were looking at 77 , isolated thunderstorm, mid 80s in the Lehigh Valley and isolated thunderstorm threat. We have a boundary kind of draped across the area, that would be a focal point or a lifting mechanism for some of those pop up showers, in fact, as we move further north and west moving into sections of the poconos, and also the Lehigh Valley, and a spotty shower kind of moving through, right now, so as we go hour by hour, you can see partly sunny skies, north and west this morning, watching out for a spotty shower, and then as we move toward the afternoon, some of that activity, likely will drift into sections of south jersey, sections of delaware and in particular, the better chance of coverage for some of those pop up showers and storms but any activity will diminished once that sunsets at 8 30. Down the shore we are looking at 77 degrees. Isolated thunderstorm threat. As nature as other conditions in and around center city were looking at temperatures today at 88 degrees with isolated thunderstorm threat and then this evening, temperatures by the time of the fire works right around 80. That is a look at your weather what about traffic on this holiday, we have a disable vehicle now on the schuylkill and westbound on the curve moving toward new jersey. Looking at ben franklin bridge , volume, wow, that is pretty light here on this holiday but a beautiful view, from camden, looking toward center city area. Some closures, wawa welcome america, were talking about fifth, sixth, market and also chestnut street, just be mindful of that, of course, use your alternate route to get around those closures along the parkway. Around 9 30 we have a parade at Union Fire Association along montgomery avenue. Guys, back over to you. 7 18 now. We have the best fire works party, in america because it is birthplace of america. It all started here. New york city has a good one too. Another good one is on the National Mall by the Lincoln Memorial between the Lincoln Memorial and washington monument. Oh, yeah. Big concert as well. They normally get big stars lets find out who is there this year. Lets get angela, you are on the National Mall, what can you, expect tonight. We have got an entire day worth of celebrations here including fire works, huge parade and, of course, live music but in todays day and age and with the crowd today safety is a major concern with d. C. Officials. I want to show you behind me as they are setting up security efforts in and around the city, lots of road closures. We are looking at several cement trucks blocking roadway heading in and around National Mall, and of course to protect cloud coming in in case anybody got an idea and wanted to drive a car through any of the roadways they are not supposed to. There are several security efforts underway here, including security gates that people will have to go through to get checked into get on the nationality mall and prohibited items as well. But again, kick off to america s birthday does begin soon and set up is already underway on the west front of the capitol building, for that big capitol fourth concert going on tonight before and during fire works, hosted by john stamos also known as uncle jesse, i believe beach boys and four tops, and even Kelly Pickler will be there it will be a fun celebration as it is every year but safety and security is a major concern and anyone coming down here is of course reminded if you see something, say something. That is very latest national fall, back to you. They dont let you get any closer, are you a security risk. Reporter we were very close a little while ago and they did move us because they are vigilant about block off the street there and no un authorized cars is there. I got you.
