secure the area first before they could render any aid. >> police who remained on scene early this morning say they do not yet have a suspect or motive at this time. they have identified the teen age victim but won't release his identity until his family is notified. right now they are still trying to identify the adult victim. we are following a developing story out of napa this morning where police say they found a 4-year-old little girl dead in her own bed and her mother nowhere to be found. now police are asking for the public's help in finding the little girl's mother and her mother's boyfriend. here are photos of the two. the child's mother, sara kruger and her boyfriend, ryan scott warner were seen leaving the area yesterday morning though neither has a car. napa police say when they found the little girl in her bed during a welfare check, there were signs of foul play. police are urging anyone with the information about the whereabouts of kruger or warner to call them immediately. we are learning more about

the richmond police officer who helped save a woman from her life as a sex slave. this is the man accused of abusing the victim, raul ochoa. he's scheduled to be sentenced february 11th. he started abusing the woman when she was 12 years old and she escaped in 2012. by then, she was already 27. she went to the richmond police department and the officer says he knew something was wrong when she tried to report herself as a runaway. >> so i just let her know, hey, i have a daughter that i think at the time was 16, 17 years old. i told her i had a daughter and if she was my daughter, i'd want her to tell me the truth and to tell me everything that was going on because she was not the -- it was not her fault. i let her know everything that has happened that she's talking about is not her fault and that she's a victim in all this. >> ochoa was arrested shortly after that victim told police her story. the woman is now working with police advocates who are trying to help her move forward with her life. new this morning, fremont police say an 88-year-old man

possible. all right, the pbig game. it is finally here. looking at metlife stadium in new jersey all calm right now but in just a few hours thousands of fans will converge on super bowl xlviii. the denver broncos and the seattle seahawks are preparing to face off in the first ever open-air cold weather stadium super bowl game in nfl history. fans couldn't be more excited. >> reporter: a final walk-through practice yesterday at metlife stadium. the seahawks and the broncos appearing relaxed and ready to go. then from the turf to the red carpet. sports stars came out for the nfl honors awards show held in new york. >> but the winner is, riverboat ron rivera. >> while the game is in new jersey, the big apple has been the epicenter of super bowl festivities. $150,000 tailgate parties to celebrations in the streets.

and 13 blocks of times square transformed into super bowl boulevard. >> hey, it's once in a lifetime thing. >> reporter: a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a hefty price tag. the rutherfords traveled cross country to cheer on the seahawks. >> we're going to spend hopefully lower than ten grand. that includes super bowl tickets. >> reporter: but that's not adding up to the $600 million economic impact first predicted. tickets aren't selling as much as in super bowls past and one in five hotel rooms around the stadium sit empty. street vendors also report sluggish sales. >> it is not as lucrative as i thought it might have been. >> reporter: but for those who made the journey to see their beloved team play, the experience is priceless. the niners didn't make it to the big game but that doesn't mean the bay area won't be represented. just ask the local fans cheering

on an oakland native. former cal football player marshawn lynch is playing in the super bowl as a seahawk. he was born and raised in oakland. we caught up with the former oakland high school coach and he said lynch is great on and off the field. >> he has a turkey drive and a toy drive each christmas. and he doesn't like to gloat about it, but he does what he can for oakland. >> lynch has gotten a lot of second chances in life and fans are hoping it will all pay off today with a super bowl win. marshawn lynch isn't the only bay area link to the seattle seahawks. a lot of folks will also be watching stanford grad richard sherman. you might remember sherman made some controversial comments after the win over the niners that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. seahawks wide receiver doug baldwin also played for stanford and the seahawks head coach,

pete carroll, went to high school in marin. one more connection, the owner of the seahawks, paul allen, has a home in atherton and spends plenty of time here in the bay area. the broncos also have san jose ties. duke ihenacho was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2012. if the broncos win he will be the seventh former spaurtaspart. and john elway works in the broncos front office. countdown to sochi. the games are just days away now and we have a look at last-minute preparations before the winter olympics. and a former bay area athlete becomes an nfl pioneer. >> the kick is away. ♪ ho ho ho

drought situation, though perhaps not immediately. senator dianne feinstein may introduce a drought bill as early as next week intended to counter a republican plan that would divert more water to the central valley. meantime businesses are starting to make changes on the heels of the announcement of a drought emergency water cutback. kimberly tere has a look at what they're doing to conserve. >> we need the rain. we need the rain. >> reporter: everyone trying to do what they can to help the situation. restaurants in the east bay and silicon valley have stopped serving water except upon request or if alcohol is ordered. at the alameda county fairgrounds, hundreds of bay area muslims parade for rain. there have also been rain and snow dances and catholic bishops are asking the faithful to pray for preparation. >> it's not too hard. you know, we've been through it a little bit before in the past. >> reporter: and those who have lived here long enough know what to do in a drought. >> we're not watering the lawns as much and trying to take shorter showers. you know, turning off when we

brush our teeth, not letting it run. all the typical things because we lived through the last one, although we are flushing the toilet. >> reporter: california has had dry spells, but experts and residents agree this one could be worse than any in recent history. >> it's bad. it's bad here. >> it seems like it's been more dry this year than it has in a long time. >> reporter: she's right. so far california is on pace to be the driest since it became a state in 1850. farmers are among those most desperate. 27 counties have been declared natural disaster areas, including alameda, contra costa. farmers will be eligible for low-interest federal loans. >> these growers and the industry as a whole are going to be affected at least three years because of the situation that we're in right now today. >> reporter: kimberly tere, "today in the bay." and now let's check in with rob mayeda for that weekend

forecast. rob, do you think that rain will be enough to make a dent? >> i think we should see a little something out of this, more than just drizzle. and we need literally dozens of these types of systems to come in between now and the end of the upcoming spring. right now 47 in emeryville. you do have some of that rain falling. notice in snan jose, a few sunn breaks. light rain falling near downtown san jose but san francisco is the story that we're starting to see now. you can see that rain moving through, breezy at times. we're seeing moderate rain just off the coast. let's talk a little about the wind. you saw temperatures in the upper 40s outside and you can see wind speeds anywhere from 10 to 15 miles per hour, winds out of the southeast. if you live near san jose you've got the airplanes taking off in the opposite direction this morning which is making a little extra noise on the opposite side of the airport. you can see areas of locally heavy rain over towards oakland, across the bay bridge. we'll give you a closer view here, right into oakland and

around the east bay, we're seeing these pockets of moderate rain around 880 in downtown oakland. to the south you can see some of that rain approaching the san jose area, around san mateo and redwood city. we'll show you some of that heavier rain around san mateo and dumbarton bridges. this is enough to cause ponding on the roadways so this is good news for our drought-parched hillsides. heading over towards san jose, starting to see the rain on the approach at sunnyvale and that heavy rain offshore. this system is cranking up, wobbling closer to the coastline so it is tossing more rain towards the bay area this morning and we'll transition to a somewhat drier forecast as we head into the afternoon. pretty interesting system today, one that is going to wring cold air aloft with the warmer air below or the warmer ocean surface. that will bring a chance of thunder at times along the coastline and snow levels as well as 3500 feed to 4000 feet.

mt. hamilton could get a little dusting of snow as that cold air comes on in. so the timing of the system today, the main event falling this morning, transitioning over to scattered showers. perhaps mixed with sunshine late in the day and tonight we'll see showers shut down. should be a dry monday morning commute as the system scoots towards southern california. rainfall totals have been updated. we should see a quarter inch to a third of an inch of rain but locally higher amounts toward the santa cruz mountains. i do think we'll manage a half inch to an inch of rain on some of those coastal hillsides. a little less as the rain shadow effect keeps san jose dry. enough that it will register in the rain gauges there in the santa clara valley too. 40s and 50s for highs and it's cold enough obviously in the sierra to see a little more snow but a lot of the moisture will be hung up on the coastal range, not so much for the sierra. but the seven-day forecast will show you thursday into next saturday we will see systems to

follow that have a better chance of tossing more snow towards the sierra, especially next weekend we could see a pretty good snowstorm heading into the high country. we're looking at highs at that in the upper 40s to low 50s. we're in the upper 40s right now so we're really not going to warm up much today. 54 degrees in san jose. around the peninsula, highs in the low 50s, heavy rain at times off and on for the morning. along the coast we'll have to watch out for a chance for scattered thundershowers, mainly down towards santa cruz around lunchtime and the showers head off to the south by this evening. north bay temperatures in the low to mid-50s. look at the tri-valley, traveling toward the sierra may see snow showers and heavier snow at times around yosemite. hopefully we see more of this the next few days. seven-day forecast shows we will a little later this week. kris. >> thank you very much, rob. coming up on "today in the bay" death row inmates inspire a man to try to help keep other people out of prison. how he's changing the lives of troubled teenagers.

prison is where convicted bank robbers end up but prison is also where today's bay area proud begins. a sheriff's deputy got an idea prompted by a prisoner. garvin thomas has the story. >> right leg back so step in with the jab, keep the hands up, right. >> reporter: if there is anyone out there you would want teaching your loved one self defense, ken mccollum is your guy. a martial arts expert and retired sheriff's deputy, ken is very good at teaching people how to handle bad guys. >> step together. good. >> reporter: preventing guys from going bad in the first place, though, is what ken wants to be great at. >> i have a desire to make a change. >> reporter: that desire was born out of 26 years with the alameda county sheriff's department. among ken's many duties over the

years, prisoner transport. on more than one occasion, ken was the deputy tasked with the job of driving a condemned man to death row at san quentin state prison. ken would often take the opportunity to ask where that prisoner's life had gone so wrong. >> and these guys, most of them, grew up without a father in the home for the most part. and so they told me that, hey, i was allowed to just run wild and do my own thing out there with no kind of structure, no kind of responsibility. >> reporter: it was a foreign notion to ken, who grew up in a two-parent, strict household in rural mississippi. >> that was the difference that i saw, you know. they didn't have the structure that i grew up with. >> reporter: but for those men, it was too late for ken to do anything to help them. >> got one more lap. let's go, let's go, let's go. >> reporter: not these guys, though. >> let's go, run. you don't want to be last. >> reporter: born out of his experience with hardened criminals.

ken seven years ago started the men of iron program. taking boys from the east bay, many of them already getting in trouble at ages 6 and 7, and giving them structure, responsibility, and more than a little discipline. >> if you don't know it, push up, push up, push up. >> this was part of the things that i decided needed to be done because i saw so many young men that were undisciplined. >> bryce, i saw a picture of you. >> reporter: in addition to their twice weekly meetings, ken is in every aspect of these boys' lives. if they get in trouble at school, he's the one that gets called. if they get in trouble with the law, ken makes sure they pay their dues. for every one boy he saves, though, ken knows there are hundreds, perhaps thousands that could use a friend like him. you could look at what he's doing as just a drop in the bucket or you could look at it as someone who decided it was time to start filling that

drizzle in many places. we're seeing the rain come down and could have a little isolated thunderstorm activity or small hail as the cooler air aloft spills into the bay area. light to moderate rain over towards oakland. we'll take you towards fremont and you can see towards fremont there's heavy to moderate rain. san mateo around the airport, sfo into redwood city, seeing pretty steady rain. also around fremontipedas north some pretty steady rain coming down. you can see on the west side or the ocean-facing side of the santa cruz mountains as the air is wringing out a lot of rain this morning. not so much as it spills back into san jose but these locations around the watershed filling into the lexington reservoir, these locations we hope get at least half an inch of rain, maybe closer to an inch before this moves on.

this area of low pressure has moved closer to the coast. that's good news for the rain output for the pay area. snow levels close to 4,000 feet. so the main event of the rain, we're seeing it right now. as we pass lunchtime heading into the late afternoon hours, notice scattered showers. the potential for a brief thundershower especially on the coast and then our skies begin to clear as we head into tonight, but more opportunities for rain and sierra snow follow. you'll have a full look at those in the forecast coming up in a few minutes, kris. a shooting outside an oakland boys and girls club leaves two people dead, one of them just a teenager. oakland police say the shooting happened just before 11:00 last night at 24th and market streets. that's where officers found two male victims, each shot more than once. they did not survive long enough to make it to the hospital and were pronounced dead at the scene. >> there were a lot of people out here. emotions were very high. officers actually had to secure

the crime scene and secure the area first before they could render any aid. >> police who remained on scene early this morning say they do not yet have a suspect or motive in the shooting. they have identified the victim but are not releasing it until the family is identified. they are still working to identify the adult who was shot. the search is on for the mother of a 4-year-old little girl who was found in her bed dead napa police say with sign of foul play. here are photos of the mother, sara kruger and her boyfriend, ryan scott warner. they saw the couple leave yesterday morning with baggage though neither have a car. police are asking anyone who might know anything about the whereabouts of these two to call them immediately. they are wanted for questioning in the child's death. again, police do suspect foul play. we have new details this morning in a federal investigation into the case of the patient who disappeared and

was found dead at sf general hospital. according to a new report, both the hospital and the san francisco sheriff's department share the blame for lynn spaulding's death. investigators say nurses failed to act on a doctor's order that she be supervised 24 hours a day. in the report one deputy also says after spaulding went missing, he was instructed to search the stairwells if he, quote, had free time. last month the hospital announced new search and safety protocols in response to the spaulding case. richmond police are warning people hiking in the hills to be extra careful and not go alone. a woman was hiking in wildcat regional park when a man grabbed her from behind and tried to pull her off the trail. the victim screamed and fought back and was able to escape. officers and a helicopter searched the area but did not find the man. he is described as being light skinned, possibly hispanic, in his mid-20s or 30s. and a big honor for the first african-american woman

elected to congress. take a look at the shirley chisolm forever stamp now for sale. nancy pelosi helped to show off the stamp at mills college in oakland. chisolm was the first african-american to run for president and the first woman to run for the democratic presidential nomination. another historic moment for california this weekend as the nation's first undocumented attorney was sworn in. 36-year-old sergio garcia was brought by his parents to the u.s. from mexico when he was just a baby. he attended law school and passed the california bar exam back in 2009, but after just two weeks of practicing law, he found out his license was invalid because he was an undocumented immigrant. after a four-year court battle, the california supreme court approved a measure just last month allowing undocumented immigrants to practice law in the state. >> i am the american dream. i'm super excited that my case inspires across the nation, i

think whether you were blessed with being born in this country or not, i think a lot of people are inspired. >> garcia is still waiting for a green card and says he will continue to work for immigration reform. we'll talk immigration reform with our nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston in just a few minutes. new jersey governor chris christie is firing back against new allegations about the controversy involving the george washington bridge. the latest accusation came just friday. david wildstein was the port authority director who supervised the lane closures last fall and a long-time christie ally. his attorney is now claiming that christie knew about the reason for the lane closures while they were happening, something christie has strongly denied. christie responded yesterday saying wildstein is just trying to save himself and that reporters say there isn't much evidence, at least not yet. >> david wildstein claims that evidence exists, but what's left unanswered is what kind of evidence, who has that evidence

and does it say anything about whether christie knew the motivation behind these lane closures. >> christie's office also pointed out that wildstein had failed to provide the so-called evidence when he was first subpoenaed. now he's being held in contempt. the big game is finally here. looking live at metlife stadium in new jersey where all is calm now, but in just a few hours, fans will converge on super bowl xlviii where the denver broncos and the seattle seahawks are preparing to face off. even though the niners didn't make it to the big game, that doesn't mean that the bay area is unrepresented. just ask local fans who will cheer on an oakland native playing today. cal football player marshawn lynch is playing in the super bowl as a seahawk. we caught up with his former high school coach who says lynch is great on the field and also off the field. >> he has a turkey drive right before we go to the super bowl every year. he has a toy drive during

christmas. plus he donates different kids that might have had misfortune and died and paid for funerals and different stuff. he doesn't like to gloat about it, but he does what he can for oakland. >> lynch has gotten a lot of second chances in life and fans are hoping this will all pay off with a super bowl win today. facebook is gearing up for a big celebration. believe it or not, it is turning ten. and what a difference a decade makes. we see the social network's journey from a college dorm room to a multi-billion dollar company. >> reporter: in 2004, request friends" came to an end, the red sox won the world series for the first time in 86 years and a little social network, then called the facebook, was born. it was the brain child of mark zuckerberg, a way to check out who was who and who was hot off campus. he talked about it exclusively with savannah guthrie in an

interview airing tuesday on "today." >> i was just really excited that we were doing it at one school. at the time i thought someone needs to build a service like this for the world. i felt that was this incredibly important thing to have happen but i just never thought we'd be the ones to help do it. >> reporter: ten years later, 1.2 billion people, yes, billion, use facebook. that's about a sixth of the world's population. >> it's hard to emergency a time when facebook didn't exist, when tag was just a game kids played and friends met up on weekends. >> that's g really good. >> reporter: chronicled on film, engrained in our everyday lives, sure, facebook has made breaking up harder and cyber snooping easier, but it's also saved lives. >> within the first hour of posting this photo, three friends telling me go to the hospital -- >> reporter: changed lives. >> i came across a new t-shirt

design coming out. $7 goes to charity, a different cause every week. >> reporter: and reunites families. as facebook hits the decade mark, its users are well past that in years, a challenge the social network is facing with competition like twitter and snapchat. >> before facebook there really wasn't a place where you had a global direct oory for each person. >> reporter: facebook now worth $150 billion. now that's what friends are for. >> facebook officially turns ten on tuesday. how's this for an early birthday gift. facebook stock just hit a new high, making mark zuckerberg about $3 billion richer. still ahead on "today in the bay," how the cal bears pulled off the biggest upset in college basketball this season.

immigration reform may be returning to center stage in washington and there may be some movement in that long-existing standoff between the president and house republicans. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us now. it's not a surprise that is a thorny issue. what's surprising is that it's getting back to the spotlight. >> yeah. for a lot of reasons here. it gets really the question to the role, to the place of immigrants in american society. this has been a nation of immigrants, more so than any other country in the world by far. now, one-fourth of the nation's illegal immigrants live in california, which is yet another reason why it's such an important issue. but today there's some big questions here about what happens to illegal immigrants. some people say they take more from the country than they give. we're talking jobs and social services. it gets ugly. others believe that immigrants, legal or illegal, provide badly

needed unskilled labor, new skills and creativity. so politically, yeah, this has been a thorny issue because democrats have favored comprehensive immigration reform, something that is viewed by minority voters. republicans have been against reform. look at some of the minority votes in the 2012 election. these things are really lopsided in terms of african-americans,ation- americans, latinos, all art of pa democratic fold. >> earlier we mentioned that president obama hinted in an interview that he might be softening his position, being willing to accept something short of citizenship as long as it's legal status and not barring applying for legal citizenship. do you think that we could see something in motion? >> this could be a tipping point, maybe so. one definition of politics is that it's the art of compromise.

>> i don't think we've heard that in washington. >> yeah, compromise is not in the vocabulary of washington these days. that said, obama's comments, republican comments, yeah, we're seeing signs here that there may be some middle ground for both democrats and republicans to get an agreement, while holding their respective noses. >> there have been sticking points and john boehner just put out kind of a one sheet cheat-sheet memo saying we will consider this, we won't consider that. do you think that there is a possibility of compromise? >> well, until now president obama and the democrats just insisted on comprehensive reform that would provide a path for citizenship for virtually all 11 million illegal immigrants. now, republicans, they have demanded expansive and expensive border protection and deportation for anyone who has entered the country illegally. by the way, the considered citizenship of children of illegal immigrants born in the united states but that's where

they have drawn a line and there's a big line between the two. >> and so there are spots where there are opportunities for compromise, right? i mean each side is finally saying maybe this, maybe that. >> and we might get that word back into the washington vocabulary after all. here's what we have to look at. there's a whole question of democrats who would rather have to give in on border protection. okay, we'll go along with that if we have to. and they'd have to go along with the lack of immediate path of citizenships for all illegal immigrants at once, especially those who cross the border illegally or overstated their visas. four million people have done just that. republicans would have to agree to not deport illegals and to allow them to stay as long as they obey the laws as well as a set of conditions which at some point, we don't know when, would allow illegals with temporary residences to move along some kind of permanent track. but make no mistake, we're far from seeing a deal. but for the first time there's a

glimmer of hope here. there seems to be a window of opportunity and, you know, given the stakes for both political parties, both sides may be willing to jump through that window if they can find common ground. the best shot we've seen in a long time. >> one last super important question. who are you rooting for today? >> the commercials. >> thank you so much, larry. hope you have great snacks with your party. we'll be right back.

and good morning. we're seeing the rain flying around the bay area. as you can see in oakland right now, wet roadways, 47 degrees. our afternoon temperatures will not be much warmer than that. i think at best we'll see the numbers climbing maybe five more degrees than what we're seeing right now which means upper 40s to mid-50s at best for highs today. before the rain moved in, we had this picture around san jose shot by our own assignment editor, shawn murphy out there. got the double rainbow in san jose with sun underneath the rain as it started to move on in. speaking of that rain, it is

intense at times on parts of the coast this morning. we'll show you that in just a moment. another thing we're seeing this morning winds increasing out of the southeast gusting out of the south at sfo. we will see breezy conditions as well as rain bands rotating through the bay area this morning. as we switch to the radar view and look at all this orange on the map, maybe a sign of a broncos win perhaps later today. we're seeing orange all over the radar. light to moderate rain in san francisco, breezy at times. oakland seeing some light rain. as we move further south you're seeing locally heavy rain over towards fremont in san jose, campbell into los gatos. you're seeing rain showers pretty intense at times and it's those pockets of heavy rain which continue to rotate through and give us a chance now it looks like of at least an inch of rain at the coast and quarter of an inch in parts of the bay area. notice how that area of low pressure has moved closer to the coastline. this is good news for more

rainfall an possibly more snowfall too. you can see that in the higher elevations there in lake county. snow levels will drop throws to 3500 feet. the weather story, this area of low pressure tracking south, the timing of this system as it drops to the south during the afternoon will bring the cooler air aloft, which means we could have a slot chance of thundershowers at times and those snow levels dropping down too and rain totals increasing a little more than we were projecting about 24 hours ago. some of those totals will get in the areas in blue above a quarter inch of rain to a third of an inch of rain in parts of the north bay. and the hilltops of the santa cruz mountains as we get the moisture coming in, those locations picking up about an inch of rain. good news for the local hilltops. more rain than we've seen in quite some time. san jose picking up enough to register there, maybe a quarter of an inch of rain. the highest totals will be on the coast and a chance of

thundershowers down along sandy cruz today. not a big snow producer in the sierra but systems to follow thursday and saturday. you see it there in the seven-day forecast. those will be bigger snow producers for the sierra. we're looking at rain at times, breezy. highs in the low 50s in san jose. i think the sun is done for now. we did have a double rainbow earlier. low 50s around the peninsula. san francisco breezy and cool and into the north bay we're seeing highs in the 50s there. you can see fremont 53 degrees. pleasanton 53. as we take a look at other locations for your travel plans today, not much happening up around reno and we'll see temperatures mostly in the 30s around yosemite and the snow level close to 4,000 feet. chris, back over to you. >> all right. >> touchdown! good job, lany. >> football players not the only ones scoring today. you can expect a flurry of activity in puppy bowl.

all of the puppy playing are shelter dogs available for adoption and the real win is scoring these puppies a permanent, loving home. after record ratings last year, first lady michelle obama and first dogs sonny and bo are taking part this year. it comes on at 3:00 on animal planet. and head writer and weekend update host seth myers took his final bow last night. he's taking over late night from jimmy fallon. >> there's nothing civilized about this schedule. it's literally uncivilized based on how the staff and writing staff look by friday night. at least this new schedule i can shower and shave every day. >> "late night with seth meyers" will premiere right after the olympics wrap up. we'll have more local news for you tonight at 5:00, 6:00 and 11:00.

from nbc news in washington, the world's longest running television program, this is "meet the press" with david gregory. >> and good sunday morning. all eyes on new jersey, of course, but it's not just today's super bowl at metlife stadium that has people focused on the state. new jersey governor chris christie, it could be a big moment for him, obviously, with the super bowl there. instead he's also in the fight of his political life. he's got new charges he's facing now that he knew about the lane closures at the time they were happening. but there's been no evidence provided to backup those claims. is this truly a bottom shell or is it nothing? how much fight does president obama have left in his second
