three women missing for more than ten years finally reunited with their families this morning. the new details we are learning about their rescue. plus, we are looking at this deadly crash that's happened southbound 680, your commute direction coming out of sunol into fremont. we have just one lane open. we will track this and i will show you the backup as it forms. >> we will show you a live look over san francisco. a lot of lights dancing in the early morning dawn on this tuesday, may 7th. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia cannon. i'm jon kelley. we have breaking news in the south bay to tell you about. an armed robbery and police chase ending with the suspect crashing right into a wall. police on the scene at the intersection of silver creek and

yerba buena, near highway 101 where "today in the bay's" bob redell just talked to the officers. what are you hearing? >> reporter: good morning. san jose police believe they finally caught the woman they have been looking for for at least a month in connection with a couple of armed robberies of a couple of 7 elevens a couple months ago. she did the same thing but she got caught this time. she crashed her stolen bmw during a chase that they tell us hit speeds of 75-80 miles an hour. police have arrested her along with her two passengers. her two passengers, a man and a pregnant woman. all three taken to the hospital as a precaution. police tell us that earlier this morning, she used an eight-inch, 22 revolver to rob a 7-eleven at kirk and foxworthy. they immediately expected it was the same woman that robbed them

two months ago. during those crimes, she dumped her stolen vehicle at an apartment complex on the east side of town. one of the officers remembered that and said, why not see if she tries to do the same thing. he staked out that apartment complex and she did. >> i believe the suspect thought she got away with it the first time, when they didn't. we figured this might be the same suspect from a month ago, we went to the area where she had dumped the previous stolen vehicle and sure enough, she showed up. >> after tonight's crash, the pregnant woman surrendered right away and the man and the main suspect, the woman, tried to run. they were cut off and taken into custody. police tell us they found money, lottery tickets and the gun inside the stolen vehicle that crashed into the bushes where you can see the squad car shining its lights. they just removed that vehicle. they will be taking it to the impact for processing. they only have one lane shut

down of yerba buena. eastbound. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. it is 5:03. today, we are expecting more answers about the three women rescued from a cleveland home. they were last seen more than ten years ago. cleveland city officials getting ready to hold a news conference about amanda berry, gina dejesus and michele knight. >> very unusual for us to have a horrific story that has a happy ending. we are going to get the latest out of cleveland whether that news conference is scheduled to start. all three women are said to be in condition afteri being evaluated at a local hospital. the scene looks like an outpouring of family friends and complete strangers who have gathered. they feel connected to amanda

berry, jena dejesus and michele knight who all disappeared difference times. berry was 16 when she was kidnapped, not far from the home where she was found along with the two other women. the police chief says all were tied up and held there since they were in their teens or early 20s. it was yesterday when the now 27-year-old berry escaped while her captor was gone. first, you are going to hear part of her frantic 911 call and then from the neighbor who helped this neighbor end. >> i've been kidnapped, and i've been missing for ten years, and i'm here. i'm free now. >> i saw that and it don't look right. i pried the door open. three men are in custody. they are brothers. just one lived at the home where the women are being held.

the men have been interviewed also by the fbi. for those of us here in the bay area, this case is very reminiscent of the jaycee dugard story. she was missing before being rescued from a home in antioch. the other question we have this morning is a 6-year-old was also rescued from that home in cleveland. we don't know the answers just yet. we are hoping to learn more when the news conference starts at 6:00. >> a lot more to come on that one. thank you very much. what a story. the former head of san mateo county's probation department returns to court on charges of possessing child pornography during his years on the job. >> stuart forest will be arraigned on two felony child porn charges this morning. he resigned his position at the end of last year in the midst of a federal investigation into the pornography accusation. he now faces more than three years in prison if convicted the man accused of killing a 13-year-old girl and dumping her

body in a fairfield park expected back in court today. anthony lamar jones was arrested in february and charged with the murder of janelle conway allen. she disappeared on her way home from school and her body was discovered the very next morning. jones has not -- has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. he could face the death penalty if convicted a 16-year-old student is now facing charges for allegedly making bogus bomb threats at a bay area high school. deer valley high school received three bomb threats in three days last month. they all turned out to be fake. the teen is now facing six felony counts of making false bomb threats and could be ordered to pay fines for wasting police time. protecting free speech while protecting patients, that's the bal san francisco board of supervisors is trying to find with planned parenthood. today, the board voting on whether to impose a protect-free buffer zone around planned

parenthood offices in the city. christie smith is live in san francisco and she has the rhett of story. >>. >> reporter: good morning, to you, john. someone right now is entering or exiting planned parenthood. someone would basically have to stay eight feet away from them. right now, the board of supervisors is talking about extending that buffer zone to 25 feet. that includes for doorways, driveways, entrances and exits of reproductive health clinics. the proposal by supervisor, david campos, is expected to be voted on this afternn in response to demonstrators outside. you can find members of the group called 40 days for life prays for women considering abortions, hoping they will reconsider. campos has said in the past that groups sometimes har ras and intimidate people coming in and out and it sparks a debate about free speech. >> we believe that strikes a

balance between protecting access without intimidation but at the same time allowing from free speech. >> now, you have people screaming from 25 feet away instead of from a quieter zone. >> if this is approved, these zones may shall marked by signage and painted with repeat offenders possibly facing a short jail stay, even a fine. this needs at least six votes to pass. right now, we are told nine supervisors have suggested that they will support it. >> reporter: reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> christie smith, thank you very much. time to check in with meteorologist, christina loren, she is going to look at our forecast for today. good morning to you, laura and john. good morning to you at home. we still have these pesky showers coming down. that will be the case for today. we are going to see major changes as we head through the week. central california, getting quite a bit more action than we are. watch out for slick conditions as you will be headed down the

5. overall, we are looking pretty good. the good news is, the pollen levels have dramatically dropped off. we notice a difference already if you suffer for allergies. for today and tomorrow, in the low to moderate range. we are done with the high pollen levels for the next couple of days. these numbers will creep back up. as we head throughout the weekend, that dry heat returns. 73 degrees for livermore today. cool, moist air pushing onshore all day long. for your tuesday and wednesday, 72, gilroy, 73 in fremont. we will let you know where we are headed. more rain on the way. i will let you know when we have the best chances. 5:09. mike has a traffic alert you need to know about. >> chp has called a significa a. they determine it is going to be a major impact to you commute for 30 minutes or more. we are looking at an extended closure over here, guys.

we were able to show you south 680 bunched up approaching vargas. heading toward vargas up to the top of the hill from sunol and heading into fremont. over the border in fremont and we have four of your five lanes closed right now because of this deadly crash. the coroner has been called to the scene and until they arrive, they can't even begin their investigation. it does sound like it might be a little more complex than some of the cases you've seen. this may extend the closure past 7:00, maybe towards 7:30. we are looking at a backup, not yet past the golf course but from the golf course over the hill, a very slow drive. you can also use highway 84 if you want. it is dark, windy. i wouldn't suggest it as an alternate yet heading over toward mission, you can travel through the area and then continue back on 680 over toward 880. the concern, because of the commute already starting off of west 580, still a smooth flow through livermore and dublin. highway 84 coming down isabelle,

a buildup in traffic flow. expect a heavy flow of traffic. we will track it carefully for you. meanwhile, the south bay showing a standard flow for tuesday morning. back to you. >> certainly, one to watch. 5:11. fighting back, san francisco's city attorney suing the company that just sued him. plus, a record fine proposed for pg&e after the deadly explosion in san bruno. we will let you know why some say it is not enough. >> hack attacks from all directions, from the syrians and the chinese and anonymous. we will take a look coming up.

welcome back, everyone. 5:13. it is no joke. the satirical news pair, "the onion" has been hacked. lots of hacking news. the twitter feed was hacked by people sympathetic to syrian president, bashar al assad.

they even left their own humorous attempts. the syrian electronic army has his npr, cbs and the associated press. they say, use only trusted letters and numbers in your password. move your website to a new address every few minutes and fire your i.t. person. twitter recently sent out suggestions to the media to stop this. one of which is, that newsrooms only allow one computer in the entire building to access the twitter account that. was not an onion idea but serious. in in washington, the u.s. military calling out chai that nor the first time accusing the red army and government there of full-scale hacking. we've known the chinese were a threat. google was the first to specifically accuse them. the u.s. military has never pointed a direct finger at the country until today. let's get a check of markets with seema mody.

good morning. hi, scott. features slightly higher after stocks traded in a very tight range on mon. the s&p 500 indx still managed to close out at a new record high, above the 1600 mark. the dow goes for 17 straight games on a tuesday today. that would be the first time that's happened in the dow's history. we do get data out this afternoon on consumer credit and we got earnings from disney so be sure to watch out for that. the dow closing at 3392. scott? the senate yesterday was able to pass that internet sales tax, jon and laura. it doesn't look like it can make its way through the house. we will take a look at that issue coming up in a bit. >> certainly, one to watch. thank you very much. >> 5:15 right now. we are watching the skies. christina loren has her eyes all over it. what can you tell us? >> we are going to see a mixed bag of tricks. the time now, 5:15. you made it through monday. congrats for that. 5:15 on a tuesday morning. we still have showers on the radar.

we are going to keep the chance for showers in the mix for today and tomorrow. what i can tell you, you have a better chance of getting rained on as you drive to work in your vehicle than just walking out your front door to your car. if that helps put things into perspective, you probably don't need to carry that umbrella with you all day long. we are going to continue to see the wrap-around showers come into the bay area, nothing too heavy. we saw most of the action yesterday. the system is starting to fizzle out. let me show you what we are expecting from it as we head throughout the next 48 hours. it is going to race into the east side of the bay area. we stop the clock at 6:00 a.m. showers starting to push to the south. southern california seeing more activity than us today. we stopped that clock for you at 8:00 a.m. not a lot of action during your morning drive. look what happens. by 10:00 a.m., showers start to develop pushing in over the local mountains surrounding san jose in particular.

that will be the case for today. light showers. they will make their way as far snorts north as the north bay. 75, fairfield. 70, san rafael. you don't need the a.c. or the heater. mother nature keeping temperatures just right. you might have to kick that a.c. back on. the inland highs wrap back up to the mid-80s. overall, comfortable conditions today through friday we have a big back, a big slowdown, because what i hate the most about my job or the only thing i hate about my job is when i have to report a deadly crash, which is what we have here, south 680, just about vargas, just past the truck scales. you see the traffic backed up. only one lane is getting by out of sunol and into fremont. not enough to cause the backup all the way around the bend past the golf course just yet. the map, i'll talk to you about what we are anticipating here.

a sig alert has been called in just a half hour. with the coroner involved in the investigation, we are looking at another hour and a half or two hours, potentially, 7:30. we are looking at this already. some folks may be getting down through highway 84. that is windy and dark. if you don't know it, i would not suggest that. stick it out on south 880 for the time being. plan well ahead. there may be more folks heading through castro valley. keeps it simple and on the major roadways. san mateo bridge, if you are traveling over to that, lelt's get a live look. a stall just reported as you approach the high-rise. we don't see any major slowing yet and no problems at the bay bridge. at least that is nice heading over the bay from oakland to san francisco. back to you. $2.25 billion. that is the penalty the california public utilities commission is recommending pg&e

pay for the deadly san bruno's pipe explosion. it is not sitting well with i h either side. proet posele gives pg&e credit for the $1 billion it has spent on pipeline safety improvement and requires the utility to spend the rest of further safety improvements. renee morales daughter, jessica, sadly died in that explosion. she believes they should pay for safety upgrades and the utility needs to pay a fine it will not forget. >> a penalty, a slap on the hand that says, you know what, mr. pg&e, you can't do this. >> they are expected to make their final decision sometime this summer preview of an exclusive investigative unit report. a truck driver was beaten along the side of a remote, high sierra road. miles from any witnesses. the story has gotten the

attentions of top officials, questions about what happened to him and why. it all happened on westbound interstate 80 almost two years ago. there are some of the injuries the struck driver sustained during what started as a routine traffic stop by the california highway patrol officers. it ended with him in the high-level trauma center. what happened and why did the truck driver almost die? coming up tonight, an nbc bay area team reveals the results of a six-month investigation into the incident. he gets to the bottom of the injury sustained over a traffic ticket and what the chp is not telling you about the officer's past. it is coming up tonight at 11:00 on nbc bay area news. >> the time is 5:20. coming up -- >> it is inclusive, an eyesore. we see it day and night. >> a towering sign in a bay area city has homeowners losing some sleep. we will let you know how a technicality kept them out of the loop during the approval process.

good tuesday morning. welcome back. a live look at hp pavilion. the home of your san jose sharks. they could make history and sweep the vancouver canucks right out of the playoffs. the first time they have ever done that. it is 5:23. san francisco city attorney suing a popular energy drink maker just a week after the company sued him. dennis herrera now suing monster energy drink for marketing the drinks to kids claiming they are health and safety risks. herrera says the company is using hip and cool marketing words like pound down and chug down to appeal to kids and teenagers. monster disputing the safety concerns here. just last week, monster sued herrera for demanding they lower the level of caffeine in their drinks and stop marketing to

kids 5:23. intrusive, that's how some neighbors in fremont are describing a towering 85-foot sign off of interstate 880 in newark. the new sign was put up three weeks ago at the nearby newark auto mall. the sign hasn't been on the past few days because of mechanical issues but when it is on, it shines a bright beam of light into a fremont neighborhood across the freeway. neighbors there, they are not happy. >> the sign does shine into our bedroom at night. again, it is inclusive, an eyesore. we see it day and night. >> neighbors say they are upset the city of newark didn't notify them. by law, the city of newark must notify home owners within 300 feet of any new sign. the homes in the fremont sign were 305 feet away. they tell nbc bay area, the height of the sign complies with state and city laws. the 85-foot sign falls below the

100-foot city height requirement it is 5:24. let's get back to christina loren to talk about our weather and what's ahead on this tuesday. good morning, jon and laura and to you at home. we have a good-looking day shaping up. we are going to see showers continue to wrap around an area of low pressure. from time to time, a stray shower moving on shore impacting most of the south and east bay cities inland. i want to zoom in and show you what we are working with this morning. the deal is, we will see pesky showers for today, nothing heavy. overall, this area of low pressure is keeping our temps cool. we are going to end up in the 70s today. tomorrow all the way through thursday. then, we are looking so good for the weekend as well. it is mother's day weekend. we will have that forecast coming up for you coming up in just a few minutes. it is 5:25. mike still following that traffic snarl out there. >> this sig alert was called for chp just before 5:00. 4:45 is when they called the sig

alert. it continues for south 680 up the hill out of sunol and into fremont. this is where we see all these four out of five lanes blocked by all this activity. it sounds like a deadly crash and the coroner, investigation, will take a while toer cloo. just my estimate. nothing firm from chp. the backup going up toward the niles canyon area. a dark and windy roadway. if your not familiar with it, stick it out and allow the extra time for getting through sunol and over towards fremont or take 580 over towards 880 where you can get through castro valley. the rest of the south bay seeing lighter flow because no one is coming off the 680. a smooth northbound route as crews clear from the surface streets. we are looking at the peninsula with a nice, easy flow and the

disabled vehicle reported the time is 5:26. a police chase ends in a crash. bob redell right now on scene. he'll have a live update coming up next. i look back. she said smoke. >> this morning, we get answers to some of the troubling questions surrounding a tragic weekend limo fire that claimed the lives of five people.

meanwhile, light showers in the bay area this morning. we will let you know where you will need your umbrella and for how much longer. we continue to follow this. the sig alert for the deadly crash, south 680. taking a live look outside. beautiful bay bridge illuminated. we will check the commute there as well. it is tuesday, may 7th, this is "today in the bay." from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." it is 5:30. good morning, everybody. always happen to have you along. thanks for joining us. i'm jon kelley. i'm laura garcia-cannon. we begin with breaking news. an armed robbery and police chase ends in a crash. it happened near highway 101 in san jose. bob redell just talked to officers there. what are they telling you now? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. under arrest is a woman sjpd had

been looking for for the past month for two armed robberies at the 7-eleven. she probably thought she got away with the crimes and that police weren't on to her. when she tried to do the same thing tonight, another 7-eleven, where she succeeded in performing this armed robbery, they caught her at silver creek and yerba buena. that tree had the bark and one of the branches removed. that's where she crashed her stolen bmw. that happened about an hour and a half ago. police have arrested her and her two passengers, a man and i pregnant woman. all three taken to the hop. police tell us earlier this morning, the suspect used an eight-inch revolver to rob a 7-eleven at kirk and foxworthy on the same side of town. they immediately suspected it was the same woman that robbed the 7-eleven about a month ago because of the description. during those crimes, she dumped

her stolen vehicle at an apartment plex on the east side. >> it was fantastic police work by the officers at the police department to remember this previous time, remember where they dumped the previous vehicle that was stolen and also to spot the suspect for going through the same complex. >> when the officer did shine his light on the suspect vehicle tonight, she allegedly took off. there was a chase. hit speeds of 75-80 miles an hou hour, lasted about a minute and a half. she crashed into the street where you can see that intersection is back open. after the crash, the pregnant woman surrendered right away. the man and the main suspect did try to run but were cut off by police and taken into custody. police tell us that inside that stolen bmw, they found money, lottery tickets and that gun that was allegedly used in that crime. reporting live in the south bay, bob redell, "today in the bay."

in about half an hour from now, we are expects more answers from the three women rescued from a cleveland home. they were last seen more than ten years ago. getting set to hold a news conference with about amanda berry, gina day hejesus and mic knight. all three women disappeared at different times within the last ten years in cleveland. it all started with amanda berry. she was the first girl to disappear. she was kidnapped when she was 16. today, she is 27 and one brave woman. yesterday, she had the nerve to escape the home where she was being held captive with gina day jesus and michele knight. the frantic call was released overnight. some of it, as you are about to hear, is difficult to understand. what is so apparent is her fear and anxiety.

>> help me, i'm amanda berry. >> you need police, fire, or ambulance. >> what's going on there? >> i've been kidnapped, and i've been missing for ten years, and i'm here. i'm free now. >> okay, and what's your address? >> 2207 seymour avenue. >> 2207 seymour. it looks like you're calling me from 2210. >> huh? >> looks like you're calling me from 2210. >> how old is he? >> he is like 52. >> i'm amanda berry. i have been on the news for the last ten years. >> it is hard to lis certain to. cleveland police have arrested three men, brothers, all in their 50s. officials say just one of them lived at the home where the women were being held. as for berry, dejesus and knight. 27, 23, and 32. all said to be in good condition after being evaluate d. all three have been released.

we have heard from berry's friends and cousins. berry's mother passed away from 2006 just three years after her daughter was kidnapped. one person close to the case said she died from a broken heart. that news conference in cleveland is scheduled to start at 6:00. thank you very much for the update and the return of those three missing women in cleveland eerily similar to the case of jaycee dugard found in antioch in 2009. phillip garrido and his wife, nancy, kidnapped the 11-year-old while she was walking from a bus stop to her south lake tahoe home in 1991. she was missing for more than 18 years. garrido and his wife kept her in their backyard in contra costa county. both were convicted and are now serving life sentences. we are also learning more about the deadly limo fire and what may have hindered the nine women in the back from trying to escape. the 14-year-old lincoln stretch

limo had only two pass j enger doors at the back. they locked automatically when the limo was in park. unlock them may have been too much in the terrifying moments these doors won't unlock until you hit the auto unlock button. >> in the front? >> in the front. you can manually unlock it here. if you are pulling on this door nd ait is not opening, i don't know if you would have the presence of mind to stop pulling on this and pull this up. >> the company that owned the limo could also be facing trouble for the number of women inside the vehicle. the limo was carrying nine passengers that night even though it's only designed to carry eight. it is 5:36. let's check in with christina loren. last week, smoking hot all week long. a cooldown this week. >> just last thursday, friday, triple digits. i feel bad saying it. we are going to be warming you back up, not for a little while

and not to that extreme. >> san francisco, 59 degrees. 58 in san jose. remember that show on full house, wake up san francisco. yes, that was a good time. we are kind of like that here on nbc bay area, "today in the bay." we are looking really good for today. we appreciate you waking up with us. you are a part of our family. i want to make sure you get to work safely this morning. we have showers on the radar, slick in spots across the bay area, specially the bay area. what's really cool about this pattern is, we are still getting snowfall. that's right, snowfall, on the seventh day in may in the sierra nevada. that's above 7,000 feet. it is pretty potent out there. pretty interesting. we had a closure. they have a chain requirement on highway 50. we are looking pretty good across the bay area. we are looking for it to ramp up just like it did yesterday. everything you had to pay to

pg&e, you will get back this week. 68 degrees with the natural coolant off the pacific all day long. we have a warmup headed our way. first, kind of a rough drive. not what you want on a tuesday morning, mike. >> no, definitely not. we call it traffic tuesday. we see the heaviest volume of traffic throughout the week. we are looking at sunol. let's talk about this. the scene for you just joining, a deadly crash south 680, traveling out of sunol and in toward fremont. that's where four of your five lanes are still blocked. chp has just asked for an update. when will the coroner be there. that investigation is not yet done. we have several tow trucks. we are looking at the backup on the maps. you see south out of the area past the niles exit.

that's what's causing all your big backup out of the 880 tri valley. you can try to use highway 84 if you are familiar with that route, because it is darker and one or two lanes at times. so be careful if you do choose that route getting over towards mission hills. you can just stick it out, still, south 680. you can make the move through the area. one lane gets by to allow 20-30 minutes just to be safe through the area. look at all these folks headed out of livermore. this is jamming up as you are coming out of the area past the ge plant to the 680 split. 580 showing more. we will get a quick look outside for a live look at the bay bridge. a stall reported on the upper deck. it looks like it may be clearing at treasure island. which are watching that volume bunch up. i will track that as well. back to you. let's take a live look at the hp pavilion where later on tonight, the san jose sharks looking to continue their hot streak going for the sweep against vancouver. the sharks up three games.

a win tonight would not only mean a sweep but would also be the first time the sharks had ever pulled off a sweep in their team's history. and, it would send the sharks to round two of the playoffs. puck drops tonight, 7:00. game three, friday night at oracle arena, tickets going on sale at 10:00 this morning on ticket master. game three, 7:30 p.m. >> that's for the warriors. >> this is for the warriors. we jumped ahead. >> no highlights. >> they blew a huge lead. now, talking warrior playoff. game three, friday night. game four, saturday. tickets available. you can get them both starting this morning. let's forget about that loss in game one. 16-point lead. i went to bed thinking they won. >> that's a tough thing. they will make a comeback. it is 5:40 right now. dishing out the dough. the newest ex pen for the santa

clara stadium that has some scratching their head.

. welcome back. 5:42. secretary of state, john kerry, in russia meeting with president, vladimir putin. tensions in that part of the world are high after israel's attacks on a syrian military building. tracie potts joins us live in washington. what is kerry hoping to accomplish in these meetings? >> he is hoping to get the russians to stay in back if they won't support efforts to bring down the assad regime. the russian government and the assad regime have been close. they have veto power along with china on sanctions. what the message is here is that if you won't assist, please don't get in the way of the united states and its allies trying to deal with this

situation and bring down when the united states thinks needs to go. that is the fwoel goal of the m with president putin. separately, air strikes by israel in recent days have caused separate tensions. take a look. this morning, a mortar, this video taken from israel's goland heights. they don't believe it is in retaliation. seeing that smoke certainly has raised questions about whether or not that may be the case. some analysts saying that syria much less likely to retaliate than hezbollah. san francisco supervisors today deciding whether to approve a buffer zone around planned parenthood offices. opponents, they are concerned it will hamper their free speech. "today in the bay's" christie smith is live with the latest

details. good morning. good morning, john. normally, on tuesday, if you can find a group outside of planned parenthood here on valencia praying, they say they are praying for women considering abortions, hoping that they might reconsider. >> if this ordinance passes this afternoon, groups like that would have to step way back, at least 25 feet away from doorways, entrances and exits and even driveways of reproductive health clinics like planned parenthood creating a buffer zone around patients and staff. 25 feet. right now, the law in san francisco puts that buffer zone at eight feet. supervisor, david campos, has said that the laws we have in place are really not sufficient to protect women. demonstrators, he thinks, continue to harass and intimidate them. opponents see it as a slippery slope that takes away free speech.
