mateo. dan, what is going on? >> reporter: he told me he told the judge he's having a hard time finding work with the case hanging over his head and he could have a huge payday in las vegas. he told me he could make $250,000 with an mma fight in las vegas. he had an opponent lined up, even though it's a young man's sport. >> i'm 43 years old. >> there's still a market for 43-year-old mma fighters? >> yeah, you have to sell the fight. >> reporter: today, a superior court judge denied his request after the prosecutor objected. she told me under the deal, adelea must remain within 100 miles of redwood city. >> those were the terms. we don't want him leaving the area. we don't want him to do any favors. >> reporter: he had his murder charge reduced to accessory after the fact that he agreed to

testify against tiffany lee and her boyfriend. he worked as the couple's bodyguard, and prosecutors say the two conspired to murder her old boyfriend, keith green. >> i can't talk about that. >> reporter: last year in a phone confidence from jail, adelea said in april of 2016, the two showed up in their mercedes at his apartment with green's body, shot through the mouth. he said he agreed to get rid of the body, driving it over the golden gate, dumping it along 101. as you're heading north in your car with keith green's body in your trunk, what is going through your mind? [ indiscernible ] >> reporter: for two weeks, keith green's friends and family searched for him. adelea knew what happened, knew where the body was, and didn't tell anyone. you allowed people, keith green's friends and family to search for him for days upon

days and you knew where he was and what happened, right? >> yeah. >> reporter: he told me the couple offered him $50,000 to kill keith green, if he had taken action then, would keith green still be alive? why not go to the police before hand, before keith green died? >> i can't talk about it. you know i can't talk about it. >> reporter: prosecutors say green's dna was found on the door sill of the mercedes, and gunshot residue of this golf bag. green used to live here, with lee and their two children. keith green's mother attends most of the court proceedings, and she was there today and chose not to comment. larry, ama? >> this is a bizarre case. >> yeah, it is. >> it's been a case that's been heard about across the country and more to come. >> thank you. now to developing news. and the bomb threats made across the country and beyond. this map shows which states in the u.s. were targeted, some

cities in canada received threats. more than a dpozozen locations reported the bitcoin for ransom and even our building was targeted. >> eric thomas joins us live from san francisco police headquarters. eric, are these threats deemed credible at all? >> reporter: well, pretty early on, the fbi and the new york police department's counterterrorism unit, counterintelligence unit said these threats were not credible. however, police departments across the country and right here in san francisco had to treat them as if they were. instead of traffic, drivers in the 3,000 block of california street were being detoured around a web of yellow crime scene tape, because someone e-mailed a bomb threat to the san francisco fire credit union. >> earlier this morning, we received an e-mail communication at the credit union from an individual or entity notifying us they planted an explosive device on site and demanding

payment. >> reporter: the credit union called 911 and evacuated the 100 or so employees, directly across california street, the jewish community center evacuated more than 500 people as a precaution. some ordered out of the pool and told to move out. >> as an institution where people gather and a jewish institution, we take safety and security seriously, and we have a very well trained staff. >> and then i went to take my shower, and low and behold, we heard the announcement. so that was a moment. so i had a towel on my head and i ran out with my clothes on. >> this place is dialed in when it comes to stuff like this, i think from times in fast where there have been situations in jewish community centers. >> reporter: san francisco police say they had more than a dozen calls about the bomb threats and took each one seriously. >> the types of businesses affected by these bomb threats range from offices, financial institutions, a parking garage,

a bioa and tech corporations. >> reporter: sfpd's special investigations unit is taking over the case. >> part of our investigation will be determined if these bomb threats received and reported in san francisco are related to those bomb threats received around the country. >> reporter: profesional investigation also coordinate with other local police departments where those bomb threats were given, and they'll also coordinate with the fbi in an effort to determine where these bomb threats came from. outside police headquarters in san francisco, eric thomas, "abc7 news." >> eric, thank you for that update. we did use the news app to send out a push alert about the threats earlier today. download the app so that you can learn about news as it breaks. "abc7 news" is committed to building a better bay area. that means we dig deeper into the issues that affect your quality of life. transportation is certainly one of those issues. the crown jewel of transit in san francisco has kind of turned

into a black eye or the city. the sales force transit center has been shut down for 79 days and counting. in september, workers discovered cracked steel beams. that was only six weeks after the $2.2 billion project opened to the public. today, we started to get answers about what broke, how to fix it, and how long all of that is going to take. reporter leanne melendez joins us live now with some answers. >> reporter: larry, i have answers for you. number one, they will fix it, using steel sandwich panels. number two, no idea when that will reopen. and number three, the cause they believe holes in cuts in the support beams caused it. this picture shows weld access holes that were made during fabrication of the compromised steel beam. a local welder showed what they may look like. these holes or cuts give crews

access to form welding from beam to column. typically, they're done using a drill. but in the case of the transbay beam, a thermal torch was used, creating a high degree of heat which resulted in microcracks. >> when it cools, it forms a structure that can be very brittle. and it cracks very easily. but it's a very thin layer. >> reporter: robert vekio is the president of lpi which conducted the tests. it was either stress from the construction or the use of the building that caused these microcracks. that then contributed to the two larger cracks, which forced the closure of the transbay transit center. heard corporation was responsible for fabricating the beams that cracked. the president underlined that these findings are prelimy.ar you say it could be a design issue or a

fabrication issue, and you have presentations that only look at the fabrication and materials, i feel like i'm underrepresented right now. >> reporter: a final report on the root cause of the cracks is expected by next month. in the meantime, a fix to the problem was presented today. it's expected to be approved by the peer review panel of engineers within the next few weeks. >> put a plate underneath the crack flange and one plate on top of the cracked flange and tie them up with bolts. >> reporter: as for when the transit center will reopen, it's not known. >> we may know next month what timeline may be associated with that. they just don't know at this point. >> reporter: the next phase of isthpr includes cal trains, has been put on hold.

in san francisco, leeann melendez, "abc7 news." >> thank you. we have checked on the status of the transit center every single day since it shut down. you can find that timeline on our website, abc7news.com. and maybe you have an idea about building a better bay area. if you do, let us know online. earthquakes in the bay area are a question of when, not if. today, officials christened a new facility in the east bay that could prove critical in the prompt of resources and people in a big energy like a major earthquake. laura anthony has the story from alameda. >> reporter: it's been nearly 30 years in the making. but the new water emergency transportation authority operations the idea for the center grew out of the 1989 earthquake, when a section of the bay bridge

collapsed, cutting off san francisco from the east bay. >> it is not just a maritime capability. this is a capability for the region, and for state, and with our federal partners. >> reporter: the new central bay operations and maintenance facility has 12 berths for san francisco ferryboats to be fueled and maintained. but in an earthquake, the facility would take on a different le under the guidance of california office of emergency services. >> in the case of a major catastrophe like an earthquake on the peninsula, we would be able to move first responders from where they are to where they need to be. >> reporter: the $50 million facility includes an emergency operation center, which would oversee the deployment of ferryboats to the areas they are needed most. besides serving as transportation for first responders, they could be used to evacuate thousands of stranded people, from one side of the bay to the other. >> it was the right thing to think about, to get ahead of it, not to be reactive, but proactive.

we are prepared, better prepared now with this. >> this ferry service is critical to the bay area transportation system, but in a big disaster, it could prove to be life saving.ama, in laura anthony, "abc7 news." new ferry service between the yicrrfeond b launches on january 10th. sky 7 flew over the richmond dock today. the trip will take a little over 30 minutes. the cash price saturday >> ac transit will increase the cost of bus rides. fare also be raised for adults, express and youth riders. we've checked with a dozen transit agencies and put the list on our website, abc7news.com. >> when is the last time the price of anything ever went down? what you call it an uproar or outrage, californians were quick to react to the fact that

texting may be subject to a new tax. >> we'll explain what it would pay for. >> i'm spencer christian. we have two storms coming our way over a period of three days. i'll show you when and where the rain will fall in a moment. there's a waiting list for it, on oprah's favorite things list, and made right here in the

a new fcc ruling could block or delay a proposed text messaging tax in california. we're talking about the surcharge that the state public utilities commission wants to

add to your texts come january. kristen sze has details on a really confusing story. >> reporter: it is for sure. last night, the fcc reclassified text messaging as information services rather than telecommunication services. the move presents an obstacle for the puc's plan to impose a surcharge on californian's cell phone bills. but the regional business association says the puc can still find a way to enact the text tax. >> whether they take this as a signal to shefl this or whether they decide this is something that they can move forward with and challenge this the fcc or find a different approach that would be within the definitions of the fcc. >> the puc says the tax would not be a fee for every text and not apply for i-message. it would be a monthly charge as a percentage of your cell phone

bill. you already pay some of those. you pay about 3.25% for unive e universal lifeline telephone services. you pay need equipment. revenue in those programs is down, and because people are making fewer calls and texting more. now the puc has not commented on the fcc's ruling. it's going to be voted on january 10th. larry and ama? >> thank you, kristen. taking a live look outside right now at drivers. you're looking at walnut creek on the left where drivers are moving. then there's the bay bridge toll plaza where drivers really aren't moving. and san jose on the right hand side, still backed up south bound. getting stuck in traffic is bad enough, but it's only made worse when you see people cheating the system, and using the off ramp

as a speed ramp. leslie brinkley got into a chp patrol car to learn more about this year's crack down on the problem. >> right now there's a car, that green one appears to be solo. >> reporter: this is highway 680. the morning commute. are there a lot of car pool cheats out there? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: officer chris torres is our guide to the ins and outs of catching cheaters. he looks for people who zip out of the lane when they see a chp patrol. somewhat's the main excuse people give when stopped for cheating? >> they tell me that they were only in the lane for a second, or somebody cut them off. >> those don't hold water with you? >> no, no. >> they get a citation? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: chp says the telltale sign of a cheater is no transponder and often paper plates to avoid paying expensive tolls. >> this right here is a citation for being in the express lane

without a toll tag. >> reporter: the driver didn't want to talk on and off camera. he got two citations. he got his license plates in june. and still hasn't put them on the vehicle. >> correct. do not stop here, exit the freeway. >> reporter: the most extreme excuses he's heard -- >> people have had like dolls or dummies sitting in the passenger seat. i've had individuals that say i'm pregnant, does that count as two? >> reporter: anyone ever claimed that their dog is a second passenger? >> yeah, yeah. >> really in >> that's a sensitive subject to some people. i'm like no, you can't do that. >> reporter: chp is cracking down on cheaters. in the bay area, there were over 18,000 citations last year. this year it's almost doubled. there's a paper plate. >> reporter: the effort to stop cheaters will accelerate into the new year. leslie brinkley, "abc7 news." >> and if you're out drive thing

weekend, it may be a little wet. >> spencer christian is here with what we can expect. >> it will get wet early in the day, later in the day the rest of us will get it. this is happening right now. mostly clear skies, partly cloudy, we'll see clouds increasing. here's a view from our roof top camera. current temperature readings are 58 in san francisco, 59 across the bay in oakland. san jose and morgan hill, a cool 50. and here's the view in emeryville. conditions are quiet under partly cloudy skies. low to mid 50s at santa rosa. napa, a cool 46 at vacaville. 50 at livermore. and here's the view from the sutro tower. we'll see the next storm arriving tomorrow and continuing into saturday morning. a second and stronger storm comes in sunday. that will continue into early monday and we'll have dry pattern the middle of next week. let's talk about that first

storm coming in tomorrow, producing mainly light rain and showers. it ranks only one on the storm impact scale. a storm of light intensity. most bay area locations will see well under half an inch of rain from this storm. here's your forecast animation at midnight. clouds increase in the early morning hours and a few spotty showers in the early part of the day. it will be about 1:00 p.m. that we see more widespread rain developing, swinging southward and eastward into the mid to late afternoon hours. it will be with us into the evening commute, and there will be lots of wet pavement as the commute gets under way. the storm will taper off to just a few scattered showers. and our projection for rainfall totals indicates under a quarter inch, but some locations in the north bay may receive over a quarter inch. perhaps up to half an inch. overnight tonight, increasing mid to upper 40s. tomorrow's highs under showery

conditions will be right at or just above 60 degrees in most locations. let's talk about that second storm which will be stronger. it's ranked two on the storm impact scale, a storm of moderate intensity, producing half an inch to an inch and a half of rain for most of the bay area, with strong, gusty winds. forecast animation starting saturday night. by early sunday, widespread rainfall, going into sunday evening. we'll see moderate to heavy rain over much of the bay area. so sunday is going to be a wet bay for much of the area. then the rain tapers off, and moving into the sierra where it's likely to produce some snow. wave height also increase significantly with this storm. so sunday afternoon into monday, look for a big north-northwest swell, which could produce breaker waves ranging from 25 to 40 feet in height. so that's hazardous along the coastline. here's the accuweather seven of day forecast.

a little break between storms on late saturday. a vigorous one coming in on sunday, tapering off monday morning. tuesday, partial clearing and will get a dry pattern for the middle of next week. looking ahead to the end of the week when we see another storm coming our way. >> and christmas is after that. >> that's right, yeah. the following week is christmas. so maybe we'll have a wet christmas. >> thanks, spejser. round trip, non-stop flights to europe, $800. who wants to go? >> i'll go. >> a new

advantage of some spectacular city vows and roof top gardens. each floor has a theme with artwork. the new hospital will open on march 2nd. apple's space shift campus isn't enough for the company. next, the expansion plans that are taking place outside of california. and in the north bay, police say they have never seen a case quite like this involving a spy pen and secret

us so proud to have an incredible community. >> reporter: apple will add 5,000 jobs in austin with space for 10,000 more. if company will be austin's largest private employer. this gives us a better idea of the layout of the campus. >> it's very important for the health of this industry that, throughout the country that we in technology be perceived as not just relevant for california or the east coast. >> reporter: brian brennan says the decision is a smart one for an lt. >> we still see companies growing their presence here in silicon valley when it comes to the iconic brands. that is something that's very hopeful sign for us. >> reporter: apple will also build new offices in seattle, culver city and san diego with plans to expand existing campuses throughout the country. places with more affordable housing and not as bad traffic as we have here in the bay area. >> the real problem for technology companies in silicon valley today is where do they

get the talent that they need to make their companies grow? and the talent that they need often can't afford a home anywhere near where they work. >> reporter: apple plans to add 20,000 jobs to its workforce by the year 2023. in the south bay, chris nguyen, "abc7 news." tomorrow, michelle obama will be in the south bay, she will visit san jose as part of her book tour. her memoir has sold more than 3 million copies. while in san jose, she will also take part in a youth leadership workshop. tomorrow morning, michael cohen will appear on "good % morning america." he was sent temsed to three years in prison for various crimes, including campaign finance violations. he'll talk to george stephanopoulos about the sentence. that starts at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow here on abc 7. in the north bay, hidden

cameras and hard drives are among the evidence seized by police. the suspect is under arrest, accused of spying on people at a hotel. wayne freedman has the story. >> reporter: check into a hotel, close the door to a room and a person expects privacy. at this cherton in petaluma, however, that does not appear to be the case. >> he told us he hikes to watch people, and he's into voierrism. >> reporter: lieutenant tim lions describing the suspect, a 30-year-old who says he works in a dean's office at uc berkeley, and now faces charges of wiretapping and illegally recording another person by using two very small, high definition cameras. police took this photo of one of the cameras pushed between a door, recording a man on the other side. >> he had met him in the lobby, just by chance. they sparked up a conversation. our suspect then determined where his room was, requested to be moved to a room next to him.

>> reporter: when police arrested martinez, they found a computer, hard drive, two of the cameras. martinez spent a lot of time in this hotel chain. now detectives must look to see if he had other victims. >> what if this person was recording women or children, what if you find that? >> that's going to be a lot more serious charges. that's why we'll take our time and go through the data. >> reporter: javier martinez is out of jail on bail. he did not return calls from "abc7 news." here's what he told police. >> at one point he did say he was doing it for reality tv, but we have no information that supports that. that's probably just an excuse. >> reporter: it's worth noting that petaluma police say the hotel handled this case perfectly once they became suspicious. it's still a misdemeanor, but evidence on those disk drives could change everything. wayne freedman, "abc7 news." the oakland raiders may only have one game left to play at

the coliseum. the team ended talks to play the 2019 season there after the city of oakland filed a lawsuit against the team because of their planned move to las vegas. >> it's craziness, absolute nuts. this city needs this. it's going to lose a lot of income for the city and you have die hard fans here. what do we do, you know? i wish they could stay. >> it's not clear where the raiders may play next year. the fact is, they don't have any good options. they're not moving to las vegas until the year 2020. so the raiders' last home game of the season, possibly the final game at the oakland coliseum will be on monday night football at christmas eve here on abc 7. so watch the espn broad cast, which we're simulcasting here on abc 7. call it a labor of love. up next, meet the bay area man who has become a holiday hit with his sweet treat that made oprah's favorite things list. who are the better gift

returns. it estimated consumers returned $90 billion in gifts after the holidays last year. laura reed gives her husband a below average grade when it comes to choosing gifts. >> he would do okay, but it was mostly things he thought i would like. >> reporter: debbie long and eddie says he's returned gifts from her husband for a variety of reasons. >> usually size, color, or style. not quite right. >> all three? >> the trifecta of errors. >> reporter: antonio townsend is the founder of enclosed, a concierge gift giving service for men specializing in lingerie. >> it's hard. men are not mind readers as ereh as we would like them to be. >> reporter: men pay the company to pick out the clothes for them, and it includes a romantic note. >> they want something that

illustrates the connection in their relationship. something that -- i often say something that you wouldn't give your mother. >> reporter: she suggests buying something that is unique between the two of you. look for gifts that play off of pet names for each other. emphasize the secrets you share. avoid comparing the value of gifts you exchange. both think they've found the solution. what is i do is ask her to find what she likes, and she then decides what it is, and i simply give her some money and pay for it. it just saves a lot of hassle. >> i'll ask her to buy something for herself and wrap it up. >> town send emphasizes women want quality but not necessarily costly items. on a personal note, i want to say thanks to the california

contractor's state license board that's the agency that oversees regulation of contractors. today, myself, the entire 7 on your side team, and all of abc 7 received recognition for exposing scams, shutting down unethical businesses, and educating the public. the certificate singled out our professionalism with careful, fair and thorough coverage of issu issues involving the state contractor's license board. >> your staff does an amazing job. and you say you're a great gift giver. >> i am. >> and we have received none of those gifts. but thank you any way, michael. we have breaking news. it appears the maverick surf contest, not going to happen on monday. waves are too big. >> the company that runs boat tours for the contest says they were just informed that the contest will not happen monday, but that organizers are looking at holding it tuesday or thursday.

>> with the waves too big, you don't want any wind. kind of weathery news. so let's get to spencer. >> we'll have a couple of storms coming our way. the first one is storm, ranking one on the storm impact scale. the second one is stronger, comes in on sunday. and this is the one that's generating strong, large, northwest swell, which will contribute to breaker waves, reaching heights of 25 to 40 feet. and that's going to start sknld into monday. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. showers saturday morning, wet and windy conditions sunday and monday morning. and calmer and dryer days on tuesday, wednesday, thursday. so later next week might be a better time for mavericks. >> thank you, spencer. >> mindy is handling sports. i know you're going to talk about a team that deserves much more attention than they get. >> it is the most dominant team

in the bay area. care to guess? stanford women's volleyball team. they are on their way to another title game. stanford faced off against the one team that got the better of them earlier this year, but it

now abc 7 sports with mindy bach. >> we've all had those days, larry, ama, right? even if you love what you do, you go to work and you just

don't have it. case in point, the warriors last night. steve kerr put golden state's blowout loss in perspective. speaking from perspective, he explained that it's much harder tomentally get up for each game when you're defending a championship for a third straight season. the team lacked focus and energy against toronto. >> you have to be able to rely more on execution and discipline, rather than emotion and looking at last night's game, we didn't have much emotion, but we had very little discipline or execution. that's a recipe for a disaster against a great team. >> we're not invincible from getting smacked in the face if we don't show up and execute. and so got to learn that lesson. >> the 49ers rebounded from their blowout loss in seattle two weeks ago with a win over the broncos last weekend. they get another shot at the

seahawks this sunday at home. the 49ers have yet to beat the seahawks at levi stadium. that's a little unbelievable. george kitle erupted for 210 yards and a touchdown in the first half. after the game, von miller called kittel a hell of a player. but the test this sunday is the adjustments they make to counter bobby wagner, who richard sherman knows very well. >> he's blocking field goals, he returned a pick 98 yards, and he looked kind of fat and didn't have a neck when he did it. but whatever. that's a different story. the guy is all over the field, makes tackles. you've never seen a guy get first-team all pro and still be underrated. if you talk about the top five, ten players in this league, i would expect him to be up there. >> no quarterback threw more interceptions in the first five games than derek carr, he had eight. but amid the distractions, carr has not thrown an interception

since. that's a career best eight straight games without a pick. what's the difference? carr says he is more comfortable in jon gruden's offense. >> once you see it work, it's like this beautiful little art piece. you see kind of a little bit of chaos in the beginning, and in the end, you're like, that looks pretty nice and it feels like that. it could be that, but none of that matters unless everyone continues to work and taking care of business on and off the field. >> the most dominant team in the bay area hails from the farm. stanford women's volleyball went undefeated in conference play this season and took a 32-1 record into tonight's national semifinal game. byu handed the cardinal its lone loss this year, but they weren't going to let it happen a second time. cardinal win the first set. in the second, set point. holly campbell, perfect placement. that put them just one set away from the championship game. morgan hence, 20 digs.

sets up catherine plumber. but watch this. 14 blocks. stanford swept the cougars and advances to their 16th championship game. that's the most of any team. they'll play either nebraska or illinois who are playing right now. this is the high school post that set social media on fire. she threw it down during her high school game and ignited the crowd in the colorado gym. the dunk has grabbed more than 2.2 million views sense last night. she's 6'1", she's part of the second ranked recruiting class that will arrive on the farm next fall. so the second best recruiting class with the number one player coming from down the road. so it's going to be a fun team to watch next year. >> 6'1" to get up like that? >> and she does it again and

again and again. >> thanks, mindy. join us tonight at 9:00. pg&e fined for a billion dollar rate increase. and it would tower over everything in the east bay. see the project that could ease one city's housing crunch. >> that's going to do it for this edition of "abc7 news." for mindy and spencer, i'm larry beil. you want to say it one more timesome >>
