news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi, i'm sara donchey. a man convicted of kidnapping and rape more than 16 years ago on the other side of the country is behind bars tonight here in contra costa county. investigators say the so-called bad breath rapist had been hiding out in the danville area for years. our lauren toms talked to a member of the task force that finally tracked him down. >> reporter: chris was tasked with tracking down violent fugitives as part of the u.s. marshal's service. and earlier this year when he received a call from authorities in massachusetts that a convicted rapist may be hiding out in the bay area, he stepped in. >> someone who's been on the run for 17 years is probably gotten pretty comfortable. it's unique there hasn't been additional crimes that maybe we haven't seen, especially with something as violent as it was. >> reporter: in 2007, tuen kit lee was convicted of violently

raping a coworker outside boston. he fled the state before sentencing. 17 years later, chris played a role in his arrest 3,000 miles away. the case had gone cold, he says, but it's the investigator who is caught a break in a social media post months ago that tipped them off to his presence in danville. >> cold cases, they get so gruesome sometimes you want to give up. you think you've done everything, interviewed everyone, think there's nothing left to do. and it just takes that effort for swn to just keep pushing. >> reporter: according to a news release from the massachusetts state police, which placed a $10,000 bounty on lee, investigators connected him to the owner of a home in danville owned by a female flower shop owner believed to be his partner who had no idea of lee's violent past. after pulling him over near an elementary school, he ultimately confessed. >> there was a moment of denial

for him. i think in shock, where he, you know, didn't really want to say who he was. but he knew the gig was up. >> reporter: in 2005, cbs news boston announced lee was arrested after one of his employees alleged he had broken into her home, tied to her a bed, and raped her. he was identified and confirmed through dna. >> the victim later told police the attacker wore a ski mask, but there was something familiar about him, his breath. bad breath. >> reporter: that kristic dubbed him the bad breath rapist. authorities have released limited information about how he spent the last 15 years or how they pieced together the arrest. >> was able to kind of continue in his ways, you know, being a quiet person who, you know, worked some odd jobs to lay low. >> reporter: he says he expects members of this quiet community to feel a sense of shock, but he hopes they can rest easy knowing lee is no longer a threat. but the work, he says, still continues. >> while we all take a moment

to appreciate what we had, that this was safe, we all just now have to move on to the next case, because there's many more people that need to be arrested and many more that want justice. >> right now lee is in custody of the danville police department. they'll hold him until he can be extradited back to massachusetts. the man convicted of attacking paul pelosi with a hammer has been sentenced again to 30 years in prison. david depape had to be resentenced after a mistake during the first sentencing when the judge didn't give depape the chance to make a statement. he made one today apologizing for assaulting paul pe elosy, the husband of the former house speaker, he also said he should have just left when he realized that she wasn't home. in 2022, depape broke into the pelosi's san francisco home. he was convicted of assault and attempted kidnapping in november. depape's son spoke following his father's sentencing. >> the previous sentencing he wasn't able to make a

statement of remorse, and despite his statement of remorse, they still gave him the absolute maximum sentencing, which i think a lifetime sentence is quite harsh. >> as depape's federal case wraps up, he still faces trial in state court. a hearing in that case is scheduled for tomorrow. some people in antioch are worried about losing an important transit option. they are fighting back against a plan to close the antioch pittsburg amtrak station. the platform is set to shut down next year to make way for the new station in oakley. as wilson walker reports, there's concern the closure could cost the city in more ways than one. >> the last time it came it was like hearing god. >> reporter: april hill has come to the antioch/pittsburg train station to send a visiting friend back to the san joaquin valley -- >> yeah, i will, bye-bye. >> reporter: -- and she knows it won't be long before antioch says farewell to its

downtown train station. the plan is to open another stop to the east in downtown oakley. when that stop is open, the antioch stop will be decommissioned. hill says it has already been scaled back to the bare minimum. >> yeah, a few years. they have gotten rid of the benches and the ticketing kiosk it looks like. doesn't -- i mean, it wasn't like really nice before, but now it's even emptier. >> reporter: for startert a loss for antioch passengers and a loss for a downtown which many see as improving and then there is a potentially larger cost. >> our entire vision for downtown was shaped around this amtrak station. >> reporter: mayor lamar hernandez thorpe is talking about how state and federal dollars for affordable housing are often tied to transit corridors. >> it literally cuts developers off certain funding that they could get for subsidies they could get from the federal and state funding because we reno longer have a major transportation hub in downtown

antioch. >> reporter: the san joaquin regional rail commission says it has been planning this move since 2017, citing issues with homelessness and vandalism. the commission also says the distance between antioch and oakley does not allow for both stops. >> we've talked to our congressman. they're involved. we've talked to our assembly member. they're involved. this is a san joaquin joint powers authority issue. they have the power to re-open and reactivate our train station. >> reporter: as the date draws closer, local citizens have been building a campaign to stop the closure, but even the mayor says that at this point a change of direction is unlikely. >> i don't think we can probably change their mind. i think they changed their mind a few years ago. >> reporter: now antioch is setting up new kind of transit hub to maintain eligibility for housing dollars. what is the timeframe here? amtrak thinks construction will start in oakley october of this yore. that'll take about a year, so

barring unforeseen circumstances, it looks like antioch's last train will leave the station some time in late 2025. today openai announced it started training a new flagship a.i. model to replace its current gpt4 system, the one that powers chatgpt. the san francisco-based company also announced a new safety and security committee to explore risks posed by a.i. technology. california lawmakers have their own concerns about a.i., and they're coming up with a way to regulate how state agencies use it. including one that oversees self-driving cars. our kenny choi gives us a look. . >> reporter: jean-paul mugrditchian is working as a ride hailing driver to make ends meet. >> this drive is barely minimum wage. sglar software engineer who has worked for start-ups sglchls i don't have a job,

jose state. he believes legislation like this is a necessary starting point for government. a.i. companies and consumers with so much uncertainty in the vastly changing a.i. world. >> having all the three parties together will help make sure that the, you know, the a.i. is responsible and safe. >> i think the a.i. will enable more people to raise in their order of functioning and all of these repetitive, dangerous, exhausting, body stressful tasks will, over time, eventually go away and be replaced by machines. >> reporter: mugrditchian is more than comfortable with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, believing in its potential rather than its downside. >> the a.i. accountability act bill also encourages the state to invest in a.i. education and build a.i. competency in the state's workforce. still ahead here at 11:00, one of the biggest paint by numbers projects you'll ever see. the colorful mural taking over an entire san jose street. plus, it took ten years to

a lot of bay area cities have been talking about making their downtowns more vibrant, and in san jose, they are taking that literally. people came together today to paint the pavement near san pedro square. this new community mural runs along a stretch of san pedro street which the city closed to cars during the pandemic. it has since become a permanent pedestrian mall. more than a thousand volunteers came out to contribute their piece of the painting. most of them were people who frequent san pedro street. it's where they shop, eat, and drink. the lead artist says that's the best part of the mural, it's for the people. >> i'm here every weekend, so i said why not be part of it? so i am paying my tribute to the community.

>> one of the things that's most important about this is that the community has ownership of what we're doing here. you knowt not just me. this is for the city, this is for the people. >> the artist says the overlapping shapes and colors represent the diverse cultures and communities within san jose. the project will be finished on thursday. there are drug bust, and then there was this. a coast guard cutter unloaded nearly 34,000 pounds of cocaine this morning in san diego. the haul comes from eight different busts from mexico down to south america. the estimated value of the cocaine is $468 million, though one official said the street value is closer to $2 billion. all right, this is the world's largest digital camera. it was designed by stanford scientists who explore the mysteries of the universe, taking pictures that could revolutionize astopmy. first it had to go on a long road trip across the globe. it just

recently completed that trip to the andes mountains in chile. of course, this is some important and delicate equipment to move. brian hackney shows us how they pulled this off. >> all right. we are hanging free here, guys. >> reporter: inside this room the world's largest digit cal camera is finishing off ten years of construction. destination? universe. margaux lopez has spent five years preparing for one day, the day the camera is finally shipped off. >> i personally am really interested in this project because it really feels to me like a progression in astrophysics and for the sake of curiosity. >> reporter: but first, it somehow has to get from stanford to this remote mountaintop in chile. >> it's kind of like having your kid go out to college, right? it's exciting, it's also a lot of anxiety too. >> reporter: travis lange is the camera project manager, and this is not like shipping

something on amazon. >> all the crates, they're all color coded. we're going to see a whole bunch of different color codes. that helps us at the airports so things get on the correct trucks. >> we've got a number of trucks coming, so day one we're going to have six trucks come. and we're going to load all of the crates, two of the container, get them all to the airport that day. then the next day at 4:00 in the morning, we need to load the camera container on to a truck and take it to the airport. >> and this is the camera. >> reporter: we were the last to get a look at the camera inside its 20-foot shipping container sitting on springs to cushion the ride. >> all of this is going to travel on a 747 freighter. >> reporter: that meant a late-night trip to sfo. maybe the riskiest part of the journey on 280 to the airport, unloading at sfo, reloading on to a 747 cargo jet. liftoff for a ten-hour flight to santiago and landing at 4:10 a.m. at the airport in chile. the camera

container loaded on to its own transport vehicle and then nine trucks drove in a slow convoy to the guarded gate at the base of the observatory. >> at that point we turn off of the main highway and it is a 35-kilometer road up to the facility. we will go very, very slow. >> reporter: the trip took five hours and after the camera was pulled out and when it gets set up lit take the most detailed time lapse of the universe that we have ever seen. >> in the first year we're going to collect more data than every other telescope combined has ever collected in the history of astronomy, which is wild. we're more than doubling the amount of knowledge available. >> reporter: but before it all got underway, it took these technicians ten years to build and five years to plan. the trip from crate to container from here to eternity, at least, that's the next stop.

>> the camera will eventually be installed on the observatory's dome and attached to a tep scope. scientists will spend months testing it, and then late next year the observatory will begin that decade-long study of the universe by generating a panorama of the southern sky every few nights. all right, we got to talk about weather, because changes are coming. and i think given the fact that memorial day weekend was a little chilly a lot of people might be looking forward to this, darren? >> yeah, ups and downs coming our way, sara. an up over the next few days. first thing we need to do is a comparison on how tomorrow will be different than today. the wind and the direction it's coming in and the strength at which it's doing that is often the most important determination of the weather you're going to feel here in the bay. case in point today, we're watching the wind streams coming across the city and the peninsula. and look at this patch right here. you see that orange patch right there where the wind intensity picks up hire on the downside of the san bruno gap, that was a

pretty strong onshore wind. 30-mile-an-hour winds today. it was quite gusty. if we look at where we were for daytime highs as a result of that, we barely made spite the low 60s today. i know we're focussing on the city now, but we'll get to everyone's story in a second. for now san francisco is the example. low 60s through today. the wind's going to lighten tomorrow. we're going to lose the marine layer. tomorrow near 70. it's almost a ten-degree warm-up in the city. i think thursday and friday will be nicer because you're still going to have a breeze tomorrow. but thursday and friday are are warmer inland. take a look at the numbers bin land today. low 80s today. mid 0s tomorrow. san jose's another good example. didn't get out of the mid 70 #1rs today. tomorrow in the low 80s. for the tri-valley, mid and upper 70s today to the low 80s tomorrow. that's a little step up on the temperatures. thursday is really the day that those inland valleys are going

to start feeling the warm-up even more, because that's when we're going up to about 90. so we'll take a look at how this is going to play out for us. first thing we'll do is we'll watch the temperatures increase. this is a unique way of forecasting how warmer or colder air, but in this case how warmer air moves through the atmosphere. we're just looking at a level in the atmosphere that's at 5,000 feet. and i know that sounds like a weird elevation to look at, we don't feel that, but 5,000 feet happens to be the elevation which, if you watch, you can see the transport of air. you can see where air's moving. watch what happens over the next few days. it's going to look like the atmosphere is breathing. there's tomorrow afternoon. and then we get into thursday. we get into friday. did you notice what happened there? warmer air migrating our way from the desert southwest is one part of this warm-up. you can see it coming when you view it this way. the other aspect is high pressure's going to be building out here off the coast. it's going to squash out the marine layer for next two days. we're not going to have any of it. and it's going

to weaken the breeze. the onshore breeze is going to take a break. we get two days like that. by the time we get to friday, friday morning, the marine layer comes back. watch it fill in the immediate bay. we'll get another real pretty cloud show for sunrise on friday morning. for wednesday and thursday, you'll see the sunrise with no clouds in the way. that covers the next two days. what's starting to lock a little more interesting is next week. so we're going to go back to that map. we're going to pick up that story. and watch what happens as we get into the weekend. the warmer air moves away and comes back with more intensity. that is next wednesday. and as we look at the long-range forecast, i'm not going to switch this to the climate prediction center's imagery showing you a red bullseye for that period from next wednesday on. in other words, day eight through day 14. we're going out kind of far here, but what where the seven-day leaves off, there is growing confidence we're going to see some warmer temperatures. certainly throughout the west and possibly here as well in the bay. it's too early to put

specific numbers on it except to say at this point it does look like that warm-up coming our way for next wednesday and thursday will probably be warmer than b this one. but for this one, thursday we top out at 90 inland and then you get your little break. we'll cool downgoing into the weekend. let's do this for the bay. the thing that stands out on the bay, the temperatures don't go as high. you warm up a little, thursday, friday, cool down for the weekend. look at these terrariums here, clear, no marine layer. enjoy your break, friday morning it's coming back. vern, over to you. >> straight ahead in sports, what are the phillies saying tonight? who are these guys? hey, the giants not the same team they swept last month in firlly. and tonight nine innings were not enough.

i know winning is great, but every time -- >> winning is the greatest deodor rant, sara. >> every time i ask you if the giants won and you say yes, it's met with a little bit of surprise. >> they just put it all together. the second wild card team right now. these guys are just rolling. and this is the week to show off for the rest of the big leagues. the phillies and the yankees coming up this weekend. power team, their ace on the mound, and the giants went toe to toe with the phillies. this was apollo creed at rocky balboa and rocky won again. after eight years in the minors. trenton brooks called up by the giants. 0 for 2 in his big league game. spencer

howard made his giants debut, pitched four scoreless innings out of the bullpen. strikeout, throw him out, patrick bailey. that ended the fifth inning. the game was scoreless into the tenth. philadelphia had runners at the corners. sean hjelle, j.t. realmuto grounds into a fielder's choice. seventh inning, matos drove it deep. deep enough. and there was no way the phillies were going to get tyler fitzgerald. that dude is fast. a sac fly walk-off for the giants, 1-0 final. the giants now 29-27 shut the phillies out for only the second time this season. they've won ten of their last 12. a's in tampa. oakland's mitch spence 5 1/3 shutout innings. all the run support he needed with one sixth-inning swing from miguel. swung on, gone. his first home run as an

a. a three-run laser for the only runs of the game. oakland blanked tampa, final of 3-0. pivot to the nba. west finals in dallas, luka doncic and the mavericks need one game to advance. timberwolves said not tonight. karl-anthony towns scored 25. t-wolffed escaped, and anthony edwards, bucket for a five-point lead in the last half minute. ant man scored 29 as minnesota avoided a sweep, winning 105-100. that forced a game five back in the land of 10,000 lakes. hockey. the sharks signed top prospect and last year's fourth overall pick will smith to a three-year contract tuesday. just 19 years old, will smith is another step closer to being called the fresh prince of san jose. >> in west philadelphia, born and raised where the playgrounds where i spent most

of my day, chilling out, relaxing, relaxing all cool, shooting b-ball outside of school. >> will smith played last season at boston college, and the freshman led the ncaa in points. he's part of the sharks rebuild along with maclin, who is expected to be the number one overall pick by the sharks in next month's draft. sara, i am not much of an ice skater, are you? >> why do you always ask me about these, like, cliff jumping -- >> because you're athletic. >> you know, it's untested. i can tell you for sure i'm better than matt lively. we've done stories with him where he's struggling on the ice with the thing, and yeah. i probably could outskate matt. >> start, stap on a dime, skate backward, all of that. >> i can't make those promises, but you know that. thank you so much. up next, where will they even put the trophy if they win? the story of a baseball team that's about to compete for a national title far college that won't exist.

i almost said it's friday, and then i realized -- but -- >> it's my friday. >> yeah, much different. this feels like a kind of friday story. >> not even thursday. >> i know, i know. all right, vern and darren, you both love baseball -- >> especially him. >> -- regardless of the day of

the week. so i'm sure you know what starts on friday. >> i love mlb. i don't follow the college stuff. >> okay, well, now you know. the team from birmingham southern college takes the field, and when they do, they'll be playing for a school that no longer exists. that's because also on friday the 168-year-old college is shutting down forever due to financial instability. the panthers qualified for world series saturday in a win that saw two of their players end up in the hospital and several others needing ivs mid game. but they won. now they're one of eight teams headed to ohio. someone even set up an online fundraiser to cover the travel costs. >> cool. >> it passed $100,000 in just four days. so yeah, the school is closing. >> wow. >> till going to play. >> each out they're getting closer to the end. in these games that they're playing. >> i know. good for them, though. >> i wouldn't turn the baseball uniform in. keep it. why not? >> as your lifelong memento.
