>> good morning, everyone. welcome to your "new day." i'm amara walker >> i'm boris sanchez.

this morning an alleged serial killer is off the street. >> the suspect's reign of terror in our community has come to an end. >> how police were able to track him down as they say he was on the hunt for his next victim. and new york city has seen a surge of migrants in recent months. how the city is handling the influx and how they're hoping the federal government can help. inflation burning through the profits of some small businesses. how bakeries are trying to stay afloat amid the rising costs of some key ingredients. and why the arctic has suddenly become one of the hottest pieces of real estate on the planet and why one senator is urging the u.s. to act fast. "new day" starts now .

it is sunday, october 16th. thank you so much for waking up with us. boris, good to see you. >> great to see you. it is a new week and we're grateful that you're starting it with us. we begin this morning with relief for some neighbors in stockton, california, where police have ared soxed a man they say was on a mission to kill. >> six men were killed and a woman injured in a series of shootings over the past year that left stockton on edge. investigators believe this arrest prevented what would have been another killing. cnn's camilla bernall has the story. >> reporter: amara and boris, we have been following this story for days, and now authorities say they believe they have their suspect. this is 43-year-old wesley brownlee of stockton, and what authorities are saying is that they were able to arrest this man thanks to two things -- the first being the tips and the help from the community, and the

second being old-fashioned police work. they say they were able to zero in one on one possible suspect thanks to all of these tips, and they began following this man trying to figure out exactly where he was going, trying to see if there were any partterns to all of this. the chief of police in stocksto to say this man was on a mission to kill. saturday around 2:00 in the morning they were following him. they say he left his house, he was in dark areas, going to parks, stopping, looking around, and then moving again, and they decided to arrest him. they say that he was wearing all black, that he had a mask around his neck, and also that they found a gun. he was carrying a gun. here is now what the mayor of stockton, kevin lincoln, is saying about all of this. >> we will use every resource at our disposal to make sure the

people of our city are protected, it feels safe, and that no parent has to worry about taking their kids to a park, that nobody would have to worry about looking over their shoulder when they go to the grocery store, and that our unhoused population here in the city of stockton will be able to rest a little bit easier tonight, as with he take the next steps towards getting them help in healing in their life. >> reporter: and authorities say they will announce the charges on tuesday when this man is first set to appear in court. in terms of the mow tuv, the chief of police still saying they do not know and do not have a motive. amara and boris? >> camilla, thank you. joining me now is law enforcement analyst and former nypd police detective tom bernie. good morning to you, tom. this is such a chilling story, especially when you hear the

police chief say, quote, the suspect was on a mission to kill, that he was out hunting. i'm just curious to know how investigators are so confident that they prevented another killing? >> good morning, amara and boris. yeah, i mean, this is the stuff that tv movies are made of, right? how chilling would this be to live in a neighborhood where you found out that numerous people are being stalked basically and killed for some unknown reason, and the reporting that was just mentioned, this was a case that was brought together by, literally, old-school police tactic, right. in today's day where we have all sorts of electronic means and dna which may also play a part in this case at some point, it's the piecing together of critical pieces of information, getting feedback from the community, which in many, many ways in all parts of the country, that's how

crimes are solved is when something happens, the police put information out there, they put out basically a help lifeline, and then the community responds. and then they put together some sort of a plan, you know, or an operation to try to reign this person or persons in. so, yeah, this was a really bizarre and frightening case. i'm sure, you know, the first thing they want to check is to also make sure this person was working alone. there's no evidence to suggest otherwise, thankfully. once we have now zeroed down on the suspect, now they're going to start to piece together all these other pieces of information. >> and speaking of piecing the stuff together, i mean, how much was it relying on the tips that were coming in? when you look at the surveillance video all you see is the back of the suspect. you don't see a face.

>> yeah. based on the pattern -- and that's another part that they put together as well, a pattern of behavior -- serial killers, especially ones like this, don't want to be caught, they want to continue for whatever bizarre reason that might be, but he eventually they do develop certain patterns of behavior, right. based on the tips that are given by the public, days that people see someone like this, the way that they're acting, what they're wearing and so forth, these little crumbs of information, by themselves don't necessarily mean all that much, but when you start to connect the dots it starts to add up to areas they can concentrate on. descriptions of people they can look at based on what they look like, based on what they're wearing. that's exactly what happened here. thank goodness, because who knows -- and the other part of this, too, quite frankly, how long has this been going on? did this just start in, you know, a year and a half ago in

april of 2021 or has this been going on longer? >> i wonder if they will connect him to other shootings or murders. we're going to have to leave it there, but it's a really fascinating story and thank goodness they were able to get him when they did. thank you very much. >> yes. thank you. so midterm elections are a little bit over three weeks away, and all over the map, candidates are hitting the campaign trail trying to energize their supporters. >> in pennsylvania lieutenant governor john fetterman received an energetic welcome at rally. fetterman is running against mehmet oz for the u.s. senate. in the high stakes senate race in georgia, herschel walker was back on the campaign trail yesterday after his debate with senator raphael warnock. georgia is one of the he key races that could determine who gets control of congress. democrats are bringing out the heavy hitters as they try to

hang on to control. former president barack obama plans to campaign in georgia and m michigan in the final weeks before election day. also first on cnn, president joe biden plans to keep the focus on abortion rights. in a speech just before three weeks before election day. >> the president speaks at a democratic national committee event on tuesday, and he's hoping the abortion rights issue will galvanize voters ahead of the midterm elections. jasmine wright joins us live. the president focusing on abortion rights, but in poll after poll, voters out there say that the economy remains the most important issue to them. >> reporter: yeah. boris, the economy is something the president is going to have to confront when he heads into his busy week and focus a large part on campaigning for the midterm elections, trying to make the case for democrats. we know he finished a four-day

swing on the west coast. this week will be dedicated to the east coast. as you said on tuesday, he will have a speech on abortion, on thursday we can expect him to do a finance event for john fetterman who we were just talking about in pennsylvania. for abortion, this will probably be his fourth or fifth speech since roe versus wade was overturned in the summer but the white house and officials are hoping it brings voters to the table really trying to vote for democrats, vote their way. now, of course, as you said, that stands in a bit of contrast to what we're seeing when it comes to the polls. of course, a recent have been poll found that economy remains a central focus for voters with 90% of registered voters saying it was extremely or very important for their vote. fewer than 72% as you can see on the screen here listed abortion. now asked about the u.s. dollar yesterday, the president said he wasn't concerned about it, but he was concerned about other countries and their economic policies. of course it's not exactly how

clear that statement jives with how americans are feeling, especially when it comes to their wallet. boris? >> and jasmine, president biden spoke out about january 6th recently. what did he say? >> reporter: yeah. well these were the most definitive comments about the january 6th trial and hearing that the president has had to say since now, really his administration has said they wanted to stay away from really talking about it thoroughly, trying to not seem like they were interfering with the department of justice as they often say his predecessor did. take a listen to what the president had to say specifically about how he thinks the case was made. >> the testimony and the video are actually devastating, and i've been going out of my way

not to comment and see what happens, but i think it's been devastating. i mean the case has been made, it seems to me, fairly overwhelming. >> reporter: so president biden declined to comment any further, and he added that he had not spoken to attorney general merrick garland about this matter at all. boris and amara? >> jasmine wright traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware, where the trains are running bright and early, thanks so much. let's get some insight now with cnn political analyst and historian at princeton university. julien, appreciate you sharing part of your sunday morning with us. let's start where jasmine picked up, the conversation of president biden on the issue of abortion. some feel democrats are ignoring the economy -- bernie sanders issued a warning to democrats who he believes are leaning too heavily into the issue of abortion.

here is part of something he wrote in "the guardian." quote, it would be political malpractice for democrats to ignore the state of economy and allow republican lies and distortions to go unanswered. julien, how do democrats run on the economy, when even the best assessments point to a very murky outlook? >> i think it's a tough issue. i think there's good reason politically to focus on other kinds of problems, including reproductive rights, but i don't think senator sanders is wrong. the economy is out there, the conditions are not great, and voters want to hear in democrats what are they going to do, how will they make it better, and they also need to hear democratic voters, a defense in terms of what's the connection between president biden's policies and inflation or where other factors are at work. not talking about it doesn't make it better, but there's also

room to bring in other issues to soften the blow. >> it is a challenge, though, to try to run on, for example, the inflation reduction act, when there are indicators in the economy that the expectation is inflation is going to go up. >> that's right. some economists will argue that you have to look at much broader factors as there's inflationary pressures all over the world, wart in ukraine is affecting gas prices, supply chains and more, but it's hard. politics in midterms often comes down to a few sentenceses. i think that's a big reason why president biden and other democrats are trying to look at other issues that could galvanize, mobilize, and shift attention away from that problem toward other ones. >> democrats, we should note, are bringing out some heavy hitters. former president barack obama announcing he's traveling to michigan, wisconsin and georgia this month to campaign for democratic candidates. how do you think these stops are

going to boost democrats? >> well, i think it could help, you know. turnout is the key to heelectio especially in our day and age, when you talk about narrow majorities and pockets of voters you're trying so sway, rather than mass numbers. i think former president obama could be very effective. he's still very well liked, respected, and he is an image of the democratic party that's very favorable. i think it could have an effect. >> and one of those states he's going to visit, georgia, obviously, the site of that heated debate on friday night between senator raphael warnock and georgia football star herschel walker. how do you anticipate that race is going to shake out in the closing weeks? >> we don't know. i mean, the polls are not giving clear ipndications. clearly walker is struggling. this is one of the trump aligned

candidates more problems than the republicans thought they would have in these races. warnock is a very strong candidate, but we'll see. >> notably, something that came up in this debate has come up in other debates and other conversations, specifically with republican candidates, and that's trump's false claims about the 2020 election. we saw in this debate herschel walker sort of recant his previous statements about trump's lies. others have faced those questions like blake masters and kerry lake in arizona. how do you think those claims are going to impact republicans' chances? >> i think they're hurting republicans' chances, meaning midterms don't go well for the president's party and the economy is not good, and yet democrats have a very competitive race, not just in georgia but in other parts of the country. i think part of what's happening is the presence of the former president, donald trump, combined with the way election denialism is almost galvanizing

issue for many republicans, is hurting republicans with some independent voters. it's giving democrats a chance to do better than should be expected. it's also just a long-term story the parties embrace of this issue and the implications going into 2024. >> a quick plug for our viewers, the arizona gubernatorial candidate expected on "state of the union" later this morning. don't miss that. appreciate the time. >> thanks for having me. still ahead on "new day" inflation's toll on small businesses. how the rising costs of grain, eggs and butter are putting the squeeze on america's bakeries. police are working to identify the bodies of four men pulled from the river in oklahoma. what we know about the case and what led officer there's in the first place. why some resident in jackson, mississippi, say they are getting hit with water bills

. officials in new york city are taking steps to deal with an influx of migrants, including the opening of a new migrant center by the end of this month. >> this is intended to be a temporary solution to a larger problem. cnn's gloria passmeano has a look at the facility. >> reporter: randalls island is the place that new york city has resorted to in order to put up these tent structures, and we have been watching the progress unfold over the last several days. we were here earlier this week watching the tents first go up, now we can see there's been a lot of work done and we saw several workers putting in the cots and beds and pillows and blankets that migrants who come through here will be able to have when they arrive. there's also several mobile

bathrooms and showers and laundry units that are here on the site. this place is designed to only house 500 single adults, and it's supposed to be a temporary solution for what the mayor has described as a crisis. over the last several months the city has processed 19,400 migrants through its department of homeless services and the mayor saying that the city is running out of space. this is supposed to be a temporary solution. it will house 500 single adults for what is supposed to be only a couple days. now when it comes to families, they will be housed at a hotel in midtown, up to 200 families will be housed there, as they get connected to services and legal resources and figure out what they're doing as they go through this asylum process. some of them will stay here in new york. others may want to go elsewhere. as i said, the mayor has described this as a crisis.

he has asked for federal help and fleece clear indication that that's going to happen so far. he expects the numbers to continue to increase and migrants to continue to come into the city, so this is just one of the temporary solutions that the city has come up with as they continue to grapple with the influx of migrants into the city. amarah and boris? >> gloria, thank you. as grocery bills climb on everything from bread to meat, businesses are really struggling to keep pace with the spiking price of ingredients. >> and as karen caffer reports, the cost of commodities is hitting some businesses harder than others. >> reporter: wondering how the price of bread has skyrocketed? teresa val laz kez can break it down >> flour is a big one. i have to put in a big order for 20 or so bags to get me through the weekends. >> reporter: baguettes, breads,

biscuits and cupcakes have been the family business for more than two decades. when prepping goods for her two washington shops, there's a few things she can't work without >> it's amazing what four ingredients can make such a vast difference of everything else. >> reporter: sugar, eggs, butter and flour, are the foundation of almost every recipe. the rise in price for those items impacting big bakeries that stock supermarket shelves, but especially smaller operators like velazquez and her family. >> when i sit down to order i go through three vendors to figure out where i will get the best price. >> reporter: along with other complexities of the post-pandemic economy the war in ukraine has put pressure on crane prices and driven up flour costs. birded flu and butter inventories is tight after heat waves curbed cow's dairy production. since october 2019 this same time of year prepandemic, velazquez says the price she

pays for butter has increased 43%, flour up 86%. >> i went from prepandemic paying almost $15 for a 50 pound bag of flour and now i'm up to $20 for a bag of flour. >> reporter: consumer food prices rose 11.2% over last september. bakery products including bread and cereal are up 16.2% in the same period. breaking down her costs it makes sense that a baker like velazquez would raise prices but she hesitates to put too much on customers. >> there's only so much someone will pay for a sandwich or baguette or a croissant, so it's a balance. >> reporter: she keeps crunching the numbers. >> i sit here on my order days and play this game all the time. >> reporter: hoping key markets smooth out soon. in washington, i'm karen kayfa. >> thanks for that report. a mystery is unfolding in oklahoma after four bodies were pulled from a river, as four men

began those autopsies on saturday at around 8:30 in the morning but it was going to be a difficult process, which is why it is taking some time. now authorities were led to that river because someone reported seeing something suspicious in the river. when officers went there, they were able to find and recover these bodies. here is how the police chief described it. >> all four bodies were submerged in water for what appears to be an extended period of time, and therefore, identification will be a little bit of a challenge. i don't know that the four bodies that we've recovered are those men. i do suspect foul play in the discovery of the four bodies, what led to them being there. >> reporter: until we get official confirmation from the medical examiner's office, authorities are treating this as two separate cases -- the case of the bodies that were found in the river and then the other case which is the four missing.

these were four friends all between the ages of 29 and 32. they were hanging out together sunday night. they all had their bikes, bikes that, by the way, have not been found, and at least two of them had a cell phone. police officers tracked the cell phone data that led them to two different junkyards. we know that one of them was about five miles away from the river where these bodies were found, so officers were not planning on searching the area near the river. this was not in the path of the cell phone data. look, whether they treat it as one case, two cases or they eventually connect the dots, there are still a lot of questions. we want to know what happened on sunday night, how did these bodies end up in the river? are there other people involved in all of this? questions we continue to ask authorities. amara and boris? >> it's quite a mystery. thank you. first they were hit with flooding. then their water turned brown. well now months later, some

residents of jackson, mississippi, still don't have drinkable water and they're being hit with very high water bills. that's next. be sure to catch a new episode of stanley tucci's "searching for italy" who explores the rugged terrain and delicacies of sardine na, tonight at 9:00 on cnn. neuriva plus is a multitasker supportingng 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriviva: think bigger. hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. plus the powerful cough relief youeed. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.. the burning,tching. the pain. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®, most people saw 90% clearer skin at 16 weeks. the majority of people saw 90% clearer skin even at 5 years.

here are some other top stories we've been following this morning. russian officials say no

civilians were killed saturday when two gunmen opened fire on recruits at a russian military training ground killing at least 11 people in what the kremlin is calling an act of terrorism. in southern ukraine military officials say no one was injured after two schools were destroyed this morning by russian missile attacks in the zaporizhzhia region. shelling was also reported in eastern ukraine. at least four people there hospitalized following a russian missile strike on a city administration building in donestk. starting tomorrow, people with mild to moderate hearing loss will be able to buy hearing aids over the counter directly from stores and online. the move is aimed at bringing more hearing aid manufacturers to the market and getting existing ones to develop lower priced devices. the fda has estimated that consumers could save about $2800 a pair because of these changes. this morning, residents in

jackson, mississippi, say they are facing extremely high water bills, and they're pleading with city officials to offer some relief for those who say they just can't afford it. the increase in water charges come after historic flooding in late august left the majority black city without clean drinking water for nearly two months. it was such a dire situation, it was extremely lot as well, and even now, some jackson residents are paying more for water that is still coming out of their faucets with a brown tinged color and with low pressure. joining me now is cnn senior race and equality writer who spoke to one jackson resident who received a $4,000 water bill. good morning. i mean, that is outrageous. that's hire than most people's mortgages. why is their water bill so high? are we talking about a one month water bill? a bill that's been overdue for some time? please explain.

>> yes. so virginia evans tells me she received her water bill september 9th for nearly $4,000 and she was completely shocked. the bill actually is for the period in which the city of jackson was under a boil water advisory, in which the water, you couldn't drink it, you couldn't take a bath in it, you couldn't take a shower in it. it was not safe. virginia has reached out to the city for answers, and she's hoping to get some help with paying the bill and she is still waiting to hear back. she's not the only resident who was in this boat right now. i spoke with several residents who say their bills have come in, in september and october, extremely high and they are frustrated and just hoping for answers and hoping to get some help. keep in mind, jackson is a predominantly black city and about a quarter of the residents live in poverty. you can only imagine how hard that must be for someone struggling to make ends meet to

get a $4,000 water bill. >> the anxiety they must be dealing with. when i was on the ground a few months ago, i remember hearing from so many different people saying they were still getting outrageous bills in the high hundreds, not $4,000, that doesn't sound right. have we reached out to the city? what are they saying and how are they justifying these kinds of bills? >> the city, honestly, hasn't said much. we did reach out last week. they released a statement saying they recently had installed some new water meters and by their assessment the meters were reading accurately and the bills were coming in accurate stas fa as they know and did not answer our question whether it was fair to still bill these residents for such a high amount when for so long the water was unsafe to use. one councilman did say that city has had some shortcomings in its water billing system in the past and he's encouraging residents

to contest their bills with the water billing department or get a payment plan to get the bill paid. >> she's not, you know, alone in this. there are so many people complaining about extremely high water bills, and if they're getting bills, especially during a period where there was no safe drinking water available, they really shouldn't have to pay anything, at least in my humble opinion. really appreciate your reporting. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thanks. it's probably not the first place you would think as a center of global conflict, but climate change is remaking maps and global powers are now competing for the arctic. why one u.s. senator is putting out an urgent warning, after a quick break. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
