collusively to pay area. the parents of janine hans and wayne sanchez asked for privacy the next few days. however, damian trujillo spoke to the family and they say their father cared about his family a lot. >> reporter: this is how they remember wayne sanchez. >> we don't know all the details. it is still under investigation. we are just trying to be strong. >> reporter: christine sanchez is 18. her sister nicole is 20. >> we are devastated by the loss of our father. he was a great dad and grandpa. we just don't know all the details of the situation. and we just hope for us all to be strong and be positive through all this. >> reporter: the daughters spoke to nbc bay area in the same living room where their

frustrated grandparents sat last may asking why the person responsible for their daughter's disappearance wasn't behind bars. >> we are going to be dead by then. you know how old i am. very frustrating. i mean, it meant waiting and waiting and waiting. and that's what we have been doing. >> reporter: now the two have lost a daughter and a son. >> my girlfriends are really devastated at the loss of their son and daughter. and this is just a really hard situation for all of us. especially for my grandparents. >> reporter: gentleman sean harms has been missing since the sanchez girls were 8 and 10 years old. now their father is also gone. >> that was damian trujillo reporting. he was a double shooting that happened in san jose over the weekend. police say it had ties to the decades old missing case of

janine harms. police say they arrived at the shopping center to find maurice nasmeh shot to death. gentleman neen harms was last seen in 2001. nasmeh was arrested in connection with the murder but eventually leased when the case was thrown out. sanchez and nasmeh had a confrontation before the shooting saturday night. >> we can try to paint a picture of what happened by investigating. ultimately we may never know what was said in the conversation or how much of this was planned or if it was just a heat of passion-type crime. >> police are looking into revenge as the motive. pg&e temporarily increased

pressure on the transmission line and on others. the intentional surges could have weakened the pipe in san bruno. pg&e and the state public utility commission say it is not unsafe to increase the pressure to the legal limit if if the limit is set correctly. they are trying to determine if if the utility can justify the pipe pressure limits on the san bruno line. pg&e tested it between 2003 and 2008. last week officials say the utility stopped running pressure in the pipes at the maximum operating limits. san francisco police are asking for help in finding suspects in the shooting of a san mateo man. 23-year-old luis venegas was shot multiple times early sunday morning. according to police he was with friends when they got into an argument with two or three other men on the lookout point. venegas was shot when one of the men opened fire. he was pronounced dead at the scene. the suspects fled the scene in a

honda odyssey that looks like this one or a similarly looking van. santa clara county squares off with officials in the medicaid problem. santa clara county is trying to force nearly a dozen drugmakers to reimburse local governments for allegedly overcharging drug prescription prices. the obama administration is backing drug companies because they are concerned the lawsuits could clutter medicaid oversight with legislation. businesses along san francisco's waterfront could be forced to permanently relocate to make way for america's cup 2013. the cup will be an enormous boost to the city's economy but not everyone is happy. the port authority has said relocated them is necessary to make room for the spectators

area on piers 27 and 29. and at bowers coach service. they are expected to relocate from the waterfront by the year's end. >> i think we are disappointed. for a couple of reasons, first of all, we are just entering our second kad decade. this is an incredible show that performs for more than a million people over the last ten years. >> san francisco was selected to host the premier event and organizers say the local economy will benefit to the tune of $1.4 billion. on that martin luther king jr. day there are reports that san jose could get the first african-american police chief. he wouldn't have to travel far for that job. bob redell is live that the top cop could be heading to the south bay. bob? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. we have learned what's on the mind of oakland police chief anthony bass when he speaks later this morning at an mlk event at the international long

shore warehouse union here at oakland international airport. the chronicle and mercury news both report he's in the running to be police chief of san jose. this is quite a surprise for oakland and for san francisco considering he just arrived here in oakland only over a year ago from long beach. he still has two years left on his contract. under his ten your so far, oakland's crime rate has dropped. it is still quite significant when comparing it to other cities of this size throughout the country. he's also had to oversee the layoffs of 80 officers last year. they had to pull back on a community policing program. the bottom line is the opd made cutbacks under his tenure. he spoke to the police officers association yesterday and he says he feels defeated over some of the things that had to happen during his time here.

san jose is also struggling with low morale, especially after chief rob davis left there. there's also been oxidations from people in both the vietnamese and hispanic communities of discrimination. he'll have the charge there in san jose, but given his popularity in oakland he could give them a boost. since the running there's another man in the running, that's kris moore, the acting police chief of san jose right now. he's a veteran of that department. the city manager of san jose is expected to make a decision within weeks. roaring live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." it looks like arnold schwarzenegger will be back in movies very soon. he is looking at three scripts. one is a movie about a nazi soldier that defies orders and helps a group of american pows escape during world war ii. the 63-year-old former governor

will be returning to his days of adapting roles to his age the way clint eastwood did. 5:08 right now. a lot of you probably are sleeping in. hopefully you'll miss the fog. how long will it stick around, christina? it is so thick this morning that we'll probably deal with it until 11:00 a.m. maybe even noon in some cities. but the good news is after that fog clears the air we'll see a beautiful mostly sunny day today. just a few patchy clouds as we head throughout this afternoon. then tomorrow less fog anticipated and warmer conditions. we'll get to that in a minute. right now if you are leaving or headed out that front door for places like concord, fairfield, up through the north bay and the peninsula, basically everywhere, including the south bay, we have patchy dense fog. and it is so bad in some cities that you cannot see 200 feet. so it is really, really dangerous out there. take it easy. if you don't have anywhere to go, we highly advise you stay where you are, at least for the next couple of hours.

after sunrise the situation will greatly improve with the low clouds lifting above the surface. this is what you can expect heading throughout the first part of the week. high pressure remains in control to keep things a little on the foggy side, but that makes for hazy sunshine this afternoon. and tomorrow high pressure will retreat a little bit and push back out into the pacific. what that means for us is less fog, especially towards the coast. we'll see patchy dense inland fog tomorrow, but high pressure is going to make for a really warm day. temperatures are right around 70 degrees, especially in the north bay. that will be the warmest spot tomorrow. for today we are talking about the low 60s. 64 degrees in san jose. 64 in oakland. and 58 degrees up in napa. 54 for concord. the places that see the most fog will see less amounts of sunshine. heading throughout the afternoon it will be socked in for places like napa. they will hit 58 degrees. as we head through this week we are going to warm up nicely. i want to tell you about something happening today. we are cleaning up the bay in santa clara and san jose. if you don't have plans, sign up

top of everything else. keep that in mind this morning. you really want to take it easy out there. this is the storm track. as you can see, it is all getting taken, all this moisture, all the activity is moving into the pacific northwest. high pressure is in full control of our weather forecast and is compressing all the moisture we have leftover. that's why we have the fog. we also have come press iing a y where it is illegal to burn. it is pretty mild. you don't need to burn. it is 48 degrees. turning to 64 later this afternoon. 62 in fremont. 61 in santa rosa. heading throughout the remainder of the week, hey, it is monday, but we are already looking at that weekend. 59 degrees on friday. we are going to cool down towards the weekend. the start of the week, once we get past the fog each morning through wednesday, we are talking about a lot of sunshine and really beautiful days, especially heading through your tuesday. 68 degrees. really nice. and 62 for wednesday.

i'm marla tellez in for brent. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. let's go to christina to check on the forecast. it is a foggy start basically anywhere you wake up. south bay, north bay, east bay, we are socked in this morning. and we are measuring fog in feet. we are not even measuring it in miles in places like san mateo. you really want to take it easy out there. if you don't have to go to work or have anywhere to be this morning, postpone your travels until say 10:00 or maybe 11:00 when we expect most of the fog to clear out of the area. we are starting out relatively mild. 50 degrees in san jose. turning over to the 60s. a lot of sunshine is expected for the second half of the day. we'll let you know just how warm it is expected to be for the rest of the week coming up. i think you will like it, ladies. back to you. thank you, christina. well, new this morning in the trial of the alleged gunman in the tucson shootings, he will likely move to san diego because of extensive pretrial publicity in arizona.

22-year-old jared "lee" loughner is charged in federal court in arizona but court leaders plan to move the case out of the state? several weeks. federal authorities cite the sensetivity of the case in arizona. one of those fatally shot was the chief federal judge. the new chief judge will make a final decision about the venue. congresswoman gabrielle give fords' condition is improved. doctors upgraded her from critical to serious condition yesterday. the same day a walk for peace was held in tucson. hundreds of people marched in support of giffords and the other victims of the january 8th arizona shootings. two of the victims were honored. a memorial service was held for gabe zimmerman, giffords director of community outreach. and a funeral service was held for 76-year-old dorwin stoddard who shielded his wife during the shooting. she survived. it doesn't appear san jose

has to look for far for the new police chief. we are told oakland's top cop is in the running. we are joined live from oakland this morning with more from bob redell. >> reporter: there's word that san jose could be getting its first african-american police chief. "the chronicle" is reporting that anthony bass is a finalist to be the top cop of san jose. perhaps we'll learn more later this morning when base speaks at an mlk event near oakland's international airport where we are at. this is no surprise because bass just arrived from long beach's police department a year ago. he hasn't been here that long with a couple years left on his contract, even though the crime rate in oakland is still high it has dropped during his short time here. so why leave? well, one report says he's frustrated with the limited resources at his disposal. last year the department had to lay off 80 officers stretching the force thinger than it was before.

the police officers association tells "the mercury news" he thinks he feels defeated. taking on san jose's top job would be also a challenge. that department has been demoralized by budget cuts and accusations of discrimination from people in the hispanic and vietnamese communities. the other person in the running for the top job in tan jose is chris moore. he's the acting police chief ever since rob davis left late last year. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." a woman and her dog are dead after a hit-and-run in concord. it happened just before 6:00 last night on solano way near avon avenue. the 53-year-old woman walked into the roadway because of some sort of issue with her dog. both were struck by a teenager boy driving southbound on solano way. as the teenager stopped to check on the woman, a second car hit her. that driver pulled over to talk to the teen and then took off. police are searching for that

coaching job. the raiders are the only team in the nfl still without a head coach. and a sports bombshell. espn is reporting former raiders coach tom cable is fighting for his full paycheck. owner al davis fined cable $20,000 per paycheck during the course of the season as fines for the club losing organized team activity sessions required by the nfl. cable has filed a grievance with the nfl to recoup that money totaling $120,000. cable's contract was not renewed earlier this month. the raiders had their best season this season in eight years. the oakland a's are boosting their bolts as they agreed to terms with brian fuentes on a two-year contract. fuentes must still pass a physical before the deal is sealed. the 35-year-old has played with the los angeles angels and the minnesota twins. it is not clear what role he'll have on the oakland a's. many people will mark this

martin luther king jr. holiday by riding the train here. the annual ride is a symbol ic representation of martin luther king's legacy. this is the same amount oh mileage as king's march was. writers in receipt years said the trip was not just about a civil rights legacy but about the dawn of a new day. many people will be volunteering their time in honor of martin luther king jr. today. the mlk day of service is part of united we service. that's president obama's initiative calling for americans to work together to aid the nation's most pressing problems. last year the president and first lady spent the day helping the homeless and poor enjoy a good meal. the president passed out meals while the first lady poured the

drinks. and here in the bay area a special performance honoring dr. king. the bay of hope concert with the oakland youth chorus is set for 3:00 this afternoon at davies symphony hall in san francisco. plus, major jean quan will award the humanitarian award. this year's honor goes to achabe hopkins for his work on projects in the name of love in a musical tribute honoring king. the ceremony will be held at 8:00 tonight at the scottish rite center. today is another winter spare the air day, the fourth of the season. that means you cannot burn wood or solid fuel indoors or out. air quality is going to be unheld ty because of cold weather and the lack of wind close to the ground. if you are caught burning wood, you'll get a warning the first time and a $400 fine the second time. the fog is not sparing the

air. it is pea soup out there. >> it is hard to make clear of it. it is one of the most severe days in terms of visibility i have had so far. and i have heard from the locals it is just really, really bad out there. so wherever you are headed this morning, give yourself plenty of time and take it easy. the good news is if you don't have to take the kids school in foggy conditions, don't. if you have to go to work this morning, we are there with you. 47 nor sunnyvale. 48 in santa cruz. even though it is a spare the air day, it is kind of mild out there. you probably don't need to burn the firewood. it is not that cold. that's the good thing. here's where we are in terms of visibility. still really socked in along the peninsula. no exception down in the south bay this morning. we have really heavy fog in hayward. we are looking toward heavy fog in the city of san jose, livermore, a quarter of a mile. take it easy. don't go racing out the door. it is a good idea to eliminate distractions in the vehicle when dealing with fog. turn the radio down to hear everything going on around you.

here's what's happening. monday, today, we have dense a.m. fog to deal with for the first part of the day. i would say by 11:00 a.m. that will lift out of the area. we are left with hazy sunshine with temperature miss the low 60s. for tuesday high pressure will retreat out into the pacific just a little bit. that will make it even warmer around here. temperatures close to 70 degrees for tomorrow. and we'll see temperatures in the 60s at least for the first three days of the week. back down to the 50s for the second half. if you have nothing to do today, we'll let you know how you can show your bay area pride coming up. stay tuned for that. back to you, ladies. >> make it part of your plans. thank you. 5:40. staying civil, we have a live report from washington with a look at what politicians are doing to keep things civil on capitol hill. plus, why that resolve could be tested this week. and you knew smoking was bad for your health, but did you know it was this bad? the new study that looks at the exact impact of a single puff and what it can have on your health.

you'd still grow up in a world where tobacco kills more people... than aids, drugs, alcohol, murder and car crashes... combined. we have a lot more work to do. welcome back. a good monday morning to you. here's a live look at the golden gate bridge. this is what you'll see across many of the bay area bridges this morning. thick fog, it is pretty dense in a lot of spots. slow it down if you are headed out the door. 5:43 right now. back to work for congress this week as republicans vow to repeal health care reform. and there could be a change in mood in capitol hill with everyone vowing to disagree nicely.

those costs without damaging the good health care that people get. that's an area for bipartisan agreement, i think. >> reporter: despite their differences senators coburn, schumer and other republicans will stick together during the state of the union address next week. their first exercise in being civil. >> they will get started this week with the health care debate. there are 7 million people in california who don't have health insurance. that's about 1/5 of the state. that is who they will be talking about tomorrow and voting on wednesday. >> tracy, thank you very much. a lit more detail on the poll tracy talked about. there's a strong opposition to the health care law that has dwindled to 30%. that's the lowest level since the ap started conducting the poll in september of 2009. the poll also finds 40% of those surveyed support the law. that's up 2% from a poll taken

between the jets and patriots. the jets' defense kept tom brady out of his rhythm who had five sacks in the game. mark sanchez had three touchdowns at the jets upset the patriots 28-21. and the ravens got out to an early lead against the steelers on a bizarre fumble recovery, but the steelers came back with a couple turnovers of their own. big ben roethlisberger had two touchdown passes to seal the comeback and clip the ravens 31-24. >> like little boys on the field. the green bay packers will travel to take on the bears in the nfc championship game. the teams face off this sunday at noon. this is the rubber match between the two teams. the rivals split their second series. the seahawks come over a big win with the saints, but they couldn't get off the ground yesterday. greg olson gets this 58-yard touchdown. and the bears never let up. chicago beat the seahawks 35-24.

i workout and can't do it. i like an empty stomach to make the workout better. >> reporter: these workout partners could be on to something. researchers in belgium followed two groups of young men for six weeks. one group ate a carbohydrate-parked breakfast then worked out. the other group worked out and then had the same carb-rich meal. while group one gained about three pounds, group two gained almost no weight. >> conventional wisdom says and research has shown that within 30 to 45 minutes of a workout is when your body will most effectively use the protein that you take in. >> reporter: while hitting the gym on an empty stomach may not be for everyone, brandon wall, the owner of trade fitness in dallas suggests people eat a banana before a workout. >> i'm not saying to eat a big breakfast beforehand, but get something in your stomach, get energy, get through that workout, work your butt off, afterwards you'll eat something, get the protein that your body

really craves in order to rebuild your muscles and lose the fat. hey. if you have somewhere to be right now, make sure you give yourself ample time this morning because we've got temperaturous conditions, fog, very thick fog widespread. you won't see really in breaks from it all across the bay area. it is very, very thick this morning and dangerous. take it easy out there. we are measuring it in feet in oakland and san mateo right now. still in santa rosa, even though we have a quarter mile overall, we have pockets of just really, really dense fog that you'll have to drive through. you'll completely lose visibility at some points this morning. so we want to take it easy out there, eliminate distractions. i'm not fooling you, once you head out the front door you'll see what i mean. this is what is happening. high pressure is coming in to compress all the moisture in the atmosphere. that means we have widespread

dense fog at least until 11:00 a.m. after that we are going to see hazy sunshine and mostly sunny skies this afternoon. very similar to what we saw yesterday if you were able to wake up when the fog was still out there. now, as we head through tomorrow, high pressure is actually going to retreat out to the pacific a little bit. and for us that means inland fog a little bit at the coast, not quite as much, but temperatures will climb towards that 70-degree mark. it will be a really nice tuesday. that's the warmest day in our force cast forecast. here's what to expect throughout the remainder of today. 62 in fremont. 61 in santa rosa. a little more milder for the coast. we have the moderation from the pacific ocean. 64 in santa cruz. here's what to expect for tomorrow. 68 degrees. it is going to be really mild in the city. by wednesday we are going to lose a good amount of that fog clearing it out entirely by thursday. but we are back in the 50s friday and saturday. so you have to give and take. back to you guys. 5:55 right now.

through town and obeying traffic lawns before picking up a man from the bar. the video was released by the montana department of transportation and is trying to deliver the message to get a ride home after drinking. in a state known for its horse culture, some are taking the video literally. the chief of police has received calls wondering if it is legal to ride a horse while being under the influence. he says it is legal since montana law specifically defines a vehicle and excludes those running under animal powers to be considered a dui. i need to get a horse. >> i saw a story last week in s xas with a coupl oywb taken into custody for that. it is 5:57. more news after this. ♪ ♪ spread a little joy and see ♪ need a little happiness to be ♪ ♪ living the life with me ♪ dee dee dee ♪ spread a little joy and see ♪ need a little happiness to be ♪ ♪ living the life with me
