i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true. [joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise]

of fires that ravaged southern california, devastating neighborhoods in pacific palisades and altadena, among other places. the fires killed at least 29 people and caused billions of dollars in damage. the flames are out now, but recovery, cleanup and talk of rebuilding are ongoing. so today, our sister stations and our parent company, disney, are teaming up with the red cross to raise money for those impacted. joining us live right now is mariana thomas, one of the 18. actually, i think it's 30 now. red cross chiefs of disaster response chiefs out of 350,000 volunteers. so you got a lot of work here. mariana, thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> all right. so tell us about

one california folks. you can see this graphic behind us. what is that the one california campaign. >> oh well, maybe i could talk more a little bit more about the project i worked on. >> oh, absolutely. >> i would love to. >> i know it's part of the overall effort. so yeah. tell us about it. >> yeah. so i like you said i am a mass care chief and usually i deploy in that role and i'm taking care of sheltering and feeding needs for those who've been in a natural disaster. and here in northern california, most of our natural disasters are wildfire related. and so i worked on the tubbs fire and the campfire and about 4 or 5 other large, devastating fires. they're all so devastating. they have some unique features, but they're all just so devastating. if they happen to you and you're the one who's lost your home. and then i recently worked on hurricane helene. so i do wildfires and hurricanes, and then i worked most recently here

on the la wildfires in a remote position where i was helping our own fellow red crossers who were affected by the wildfires. and that was a brand new program for us. >> right. because a lot of the people who are helping out, they lost so much themselves, right? they did. so they needed your support. talk about the kind of support, you know, when something like this happens, how do you jump in to take control of the situation and provide the kind of support, whether it's feeding or clothing or shelter, that people need? >> yeah. so we do a lot to ascertain what's going on with the situation. we don't just jump in and assume we know what's going on. so we have a great situational unit at national headquarters, and it's supported by the troops on the ground, by the volunteers and employees on the ground. and so we assess what the needs are, and then we'll set up emergency shelter and feeding out of harm's way. it's a little bit we try to get as close as we can to where the disaster happens,

because people like to stay close to home and school, but we'll put them out, out of harm's way, and we'll set up shelters where we have the feeding and the and the cots and the blankets. and we'll also have emotional support available. so we'll bring in mental health professionals, nurses, if they've lost their medication or glasses. and so we're just listening to what the community needs. and we're also known for being a convener of partners. so we will bring in our partners to help us. >> corporate partners. you mean. corporate partners, ones with money or resources as well. >> we our our corporate partners are very generous and are available to give donations and volunteer some of their own employees. and then we have other nonprofits and government partners who help put it all together. we can't do it alone. we need everybody. when it's a mega fire like this one, right? >> can you talk about some of the personal stories that you witnessed or people you met? you know, i know you weren't down there yourself for this

particular fire, but just the people you've talked to, you know, what do they need? >> yeah. so it's different for everyone. and that's something that we try to train people on. you have to listen to the story of the person who's been affected by the wildfire. but what i can tell you is universally housing is a problem. so it was a it was a big problem in the los angeles area before the wildfire. now it's even worse. so we when i was talking on the phone, i was working on this from my home office in san francisco. and when i was reaching out to people, one person said that there were people riding around in nice cars. la's kind of a car society, but no with with no home, and were just desperate and nowhere to go and ended up in red cross shelters. so this did not discriminate. this this was a bad one. >> so obviously that need is going to be there for quite some

time. i think what happens is initially there's an outpouring of donations. everybody wants to help and pitch in. right. but then that might dry up after a month. so can you talk to folks who may be watching why that need might still be there and how they can contribute? >> yeah. so it does take a while to find housing, a good housing, an appropriate housing solution. so the red cross shelters are for emergency housing. and that's where you go when you have nowhere else to go. it's a refuge of last resort. so we're always trying to get them into better housing. but that takes time and it takes money. so whatever the person needs and we're listening for their needs, we need donations to help to help fund that, whether it's helping with better housing or better transportation or whatever the need may be. >> all right. >> mariana thomas, thank you so much for coming on today to share your story with us. we do appreciate it. and guess what? so far we have raised almost

$10,000 through this effort. if you want to help donate, head to red cross.org/abc. you can also scan that qr code you see there right on your screen. so we make it easy for you to contribute and help out. all right. coming up, tonight's episode of 2020 on abc seven, we'll have you guessing. a wife is the main suspect in her husband's murder. but once the dna is tested, evidence points to someone police didn't even have on their

in his office. his wife soon emerged as the prime suspect, but after testing dna evidence, investigators realized they were looking in the wrong direction. that's the true crime story featured in tonight's 2020 called fillled m for murder. abc seven mornings anchor reggie aqui spoke with abc seven news correspondent chris connelly about the case and tonight's episode. >> chris connelly there's this man, and he is an insurance

salesman. he's in his office minding his business. it's during the day, and he gets shot and killed at work. that's absolutely right. bob inman was like the guy next door. reggie. or the guy in the office next door. he was kind of loud and boisterous and very beloved. so when he's all of a sudden found shot to death in front of his printer and his fax machine in 2007, a lot of people in saint charles, missouri are super freaked out. they average less than two homicides a year in that part of the world. and so everybody's wondering if it could happen to a nice guy like bob. how could it happen to me? so as the police begin to sift through clues and talking to people, it turns out there's stuff going on with bob. a lot of stuff going on with bob that most people in town had no idea about. and so the cops are surveilling the funeral, they're passing out polygraph exams. they're having remarkable conversations with some of the people around bob. and as they

continue to press the case, it seems like the evidence is pointing in one direction, and then suddenly it's pointing in a totally different direction. so who killed bob eideman and why? remains a vexing question until it's solved. as you'll see tonight. >> and you know, i'll give people a little info about the first direction police are going. and it's not a surprising direction. they often look at the closest relationships that you have. so they look at his wife. >> yeah. there are two really outstanding things in this. and it turns out that bob's wife has an interesting story of her own to tell, which she volunteers to detectives during her conversation with them. but two things that really jump out about this case one, you've heard about dna a lot being used to solve murders. there's a dna involvement in this case of the kind that i've not really ever heard before in a murder case, and it turns out to be key in the ability of police to try to come up with some sort of solution. and then you'll see

the most remarkable interrogations on video, with police really sitting down and having these intense conversations. and you'll see some remarkable things come out of that, the kind of drama in real life that you almost never see. we've got tonight on 20 over 20. >> yeah. and you're hearing right from people who are very close to this family. >> we are. you know, i talked to his brother and his sister in law, and they just loved bob. you know, they couldn't imagine why anyone would want to do anything to bob either. but even his brother, who was devoted to bob, found out things about bob during the course of the investigation. he had no idea about. a lot of secrets came to light in the course of this investigation, and you'll see them all tonight. >> all right. it's file m for murder. it's on 2020. chris, always good to see you. thank you. >> same here. reggie. thank you. >> and you can watch 2020 file m for murder tonight on abc seven. it airs at nine, followed by the abc seven news at 11. the
