long road, so we're up for the task. and just hope for a good outcome at the end. >> in looking at the video, there was no doubt in most people's minds that he was far enough and turning away and not charging or anything like that. >> in fact, deputies made draka re-enact what happened with detectives to show how close he was to the victim before opening fire. documents show he was ten feet away when he pulled the driger. >> investigators in iowa have launched a new website asking for tips to lead them to mollie tibbetts, the iowa college student with bay area ties who has been missing for nearly a month now. officials still trying to find anyone who may have seen tibbetts in the area where she went running on july 18th. investigators say they're looking into all possibilities. >> it is possible that molliae came in contact with someone who caused her harm. this person may not necessarily be a member of our community but

likely has some familiarity with the area. >> the reward to find tibbetts is now more than $366,000. tibbetts grew up in the east bay before moving to iowa. celebrities and fans are offering prayers and well wishes to aretha franklin, who we're now learning is in hospice care at her home. we reported yesterday that sources close to the family say the singer is gravely ill. the queen of soul is 76 years old and last night in franklin's hometown of detroit, beyonce and jay-z dedicated their concert to the music legend. they said we love you and they thanked her for her beautiful music. >> steph curry proving again that he's as great off the court as he is on it. steph finished last in a weekend golf tournament, but he won the weekend with a moving gesture. he and his wife donated $25,000 to help a golfer's wife battling cancer. scott herriarrington skipped th tournament to care for his wife. jen harrington then tweeted her appreciation for the donation and pledged to one day pay forward the generosity.

this morning, we are hearing from one of the brave officers who captured this very dramatic video of animals being rescued from a shelter in vacaville. >> this is nothing short of heroic, and tis happened in the nelson fire last week. officer carly stone is seen in the video running to grab cats and dogs. she said it was chaotic, between the flames coming down the hill and the helicopters circling the area, a total of 67 pets were in the fire's path, including, look at this, a python. of the aniad on crates and placed in cars. as the flames got closer, officer stone realized time was running out. she put some of the dogs in her own patrol car. >> i had nowhere to put the dogs, they seemed happy to be with me. we just went to work and started evacuating houses until i could get them to the spca. >> all of the animals went back to the shelter. some are now in the process of being adopted. officer stone is now considering

adopting one of the furry pets. i hope it's one of the dogs she had in her squad car. that would be amazing. if you would like to make a donation or adopt one of these animals, head to the spca of solano county's website. we have a link at abc7news.com. >> ever thought about quitting your job and decided to travel all over the world? >> yes. >> like every moment. >> i'll read the story though. >> okay. >> a young family from san francisco living that exact dream. kelly and ben lutz recently quit their corporate jobs in san francisco, sold their home, and decided to travel the world with their 18-month-old daughter. in june with a trip to lake tahoe. they say it's taken a lot of planning, but it's well worth it. >> we have always traffveled a t on vacations and would come back and feel like something was missing. >> we knew we weren't happy with our dato-day routine. why are we wishing away every day of the week to get to the weekend? why not be happy now?
