the ground. while dealing with the first man, the couple says they saw a second man coming out of their backyard, carrying what appeared to be a gun. >> i could see the look on his face. i was terrified. i looked back to my daughter and see my children crying and they were scared. i just wanted them to be safe. >> she tried to get information about who the officers were, and she was essentially stone walled all along the way. >> reporter: she's a probation officer. one officer was arrested on the night of december 7. his name is colin faith. law enforcement sources tell us he has been fired from the police department, and a packet of evidence has been turned over from internal affairs to the d.a.'s office to see if official charges should be filed. sources tell us that other

officers, at least two others, are being investigated for possibly trying to cover this whole incident up. so a total of four officers potentially under investigation in what appears to be a really tragic case of mistaken identity. eric thomas, "abc7 news." >> thank you very much. a family just spent four days driving across america, only to have almost everything they have stolen in oakland. one of the items is irreplaceable. you can see an empty parking space that had been occupied by a rental van. they rented it in baltimore. featherstone parked the van last night and it was gone this morning. gone with the van and an urn containing the ashes of his infant daughter who died many years ago. >> the stuff that was in the trunk, that can be replaced, but my daughter's ashes, that is dear to me and my family. if you can return it, that's fine. >> that's all he's asking for.
