this is traffic tuesday. we've got your report. >> it's hard to believe the olympics almost upon us, a couple of days away. a live look at sochi. the site of the winter olympics. this is "today in the bay." >> good morning to you. 6:00 straight up. i'm scott mcgrew. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. this morning a cross dressing sex offender will be in court accused of walking into a south bay school campus. we're learning this is the same person who kidnapped a 9-year-old south bay girl 20 years ago. this morning that victim is speaking out. only on nbc bay area. peggy bunker is here with why the victim is coming forward now. good morning. >> good morning. she is concerned about what happened to her happening to another child, and after hearing that her childhood abductor was hanging around a school campus she is speaking out.

we're protecting her identity so she can talk about what happened to her. >> to see him after so long to see that face, but you never forget it. >> that face that she is talking about is this man, theodore lorigo a cross dresser who abducted her when she was 9. we're calling her susan. she was a fourth-grader when lorigo kidnapped her in front of her apartment complex asking if she could watch his puppies in the back seat of his car. >> i was scared to run away. i thought maybe he would chase me or something so i kind of went along with it. and got in the car. >> lorigo started driving away but then stop add few blocks away and got out. susan saw her chance to run and did. >> very scary. i was 9 years old. i got back in the car and locked the door. i locked it and -- so i unlocked the door and got back out again. >> susan hid in the bushes and watches as lorigo drove around looking for her. she did make it home but in the days that followed she would

spot lorigo looking up at her in her apartment. >> i would play with my dolls in the window and he would pass by and he would look up and he would smile, like a creepy like -- it scared me really bad. i would have nightmares that there would be a way for him to come up. >> lorigo was arrested and put in jail for kidnapping. in 201 he registered as a sex offender. he was arrested in december for walking into the south peninsula hebrew school posing as a parent. in that incident the head master felt like something wasn't right. his perception prevented lorigo getting near the students. he will be in court in palo alto facing charges of falt i.d. and being a registered sex offender on school grounds. very scary. brave of her to come forward and talk about it. >> very much so. interesting story to hear. >> prosecutors could file charges today against a napa couple accused of killing the woman's 3-year-old daughter.

sarah kruger and her live-in boyfriend are expected to be arraigned on murder charges. police found 3-year-old kaly dead in her bed. they say there was evidence of abuse and sexual assault. the couple was arrested the next day at the b.a.r.t. station. napa police say they were called to the home ten times last year, twice last month for domestic disturbances. during those visits, though, police didn't find anything illegal. >> police in south san francisco warning of a telephone scam in which someone calls claiming to be holding a member of your family for ransom. it happened to a woman last week. she told police someone called and told her to send $5,000 to mexico or they would harm her family member. the caller knew the family member by name and the person's relation to the woman. the woman did not send the money and instead contacted police. >> well t so called hot lanes in the south bay are so popular officials are changing up the

rules. solo commuters can use the express lanes like the ones on interstate 880 and highway 237, during rush hour if they are willing to pay. but those lanes themselves are becoming so backed up people driving alone will not be able to use those lanes if traffic moves under 45 miles an hour. a flashing sign will let drivers know if that's going to happen. transportation officials also say about 300 more miles of express lane will be coming to the bay area by 2020. >> let's take a look it the -- no, we're going to talk about the parking and meters in downtown san jose. could soon double. city council set to order new smart meters today. christie smith is live in san jose. business owners i would imagine don't like this. >> reporter: good morning to you, scott. some business owners downtown are wondering out loud why would you want to pay more to park at a meter here when you could just

go somewhere else and park for free. it's true that metered parking would jump from $1 to $2 under this plan. but that would put san jose in line with other cities like oakland which is already $2. san francisco is even more. the plan is to change out about 1200 downtown meters for smart meters that can take credit cards, debit cards, coins and eventually an app that would let you know where parking is available. the cost for this, $1.3 million. that's why the price is going up. san jose has been at about a dollar an hour for 11 years making one of the best deals for downtown parking in the country. that has some faces full all day. the city is making sure that everyone can find a place to park. digging deeper not always popular but some think it's worth it. >> two bucks.

if i'm not getting paid more and i'm taking a hit, like wow. >> in an afternoon it might affect the business a little bit. slow it down a tiny bit. but i wouldn't expect to the top us. >> reporter: downtown has about 2500 metered spaces. this would only apply to about 1200, but if you consider garages are running about $3 an hour so it might still be a deal considering how you look at it. city counsels sl going to talk about this today if you want to weigh in. live in san jose, christie sm h smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you much. i do like the cell phone in san francisco where you can punch in the number. >> 6:06. you need to be close to your parked car i imagine in the coming days as the rain is on the way. it's a cold start. >> it is. that's a $75 ticket if you don't punch it into the meter. i know based on experience. 46 in san francisco, 34 degrees right now in the north bay. microclimates making a big

appearance. i can tell you it's cold but if you encounter black ice likely in the north bay. as you know we accumulated some pretty significant rainfall totals on sunday. so the chance for black ice is more probable this morning. your seven-day forecast right there at the bottom of your screen. it tells you we have a major pattern change ahead. looking at more days with rain in the forecast. we head throughout the next seven days. i want to talk about your microclimates for tuesday. it's our last dry day. the weather maker arrives throughout late tomorrow afternoon. today's highs end up in the upper 50s in the south bay, especially down in gilroy you get the most sunshine, 58 degrees down there. palo alto today at 57, the peninsula will see clouds increasing by about lunch time. san francisco, you need your jacket all day long. the north bay looks pretty good. temperatures at 59 degrees in santa rosa. it's the north bay we're watching for flood potential the next few days.

east bay, tri-valley looking good. mid-50s in places like oakland and fremont. pleasanton in the upper 50s, let's dive into the changing forecast. this computer model tells the story. you can see most of the rainfall as we head throughout tomorrow and thursday confined to the south bay. as a result this is where we're expecting the heaviest totals. let's get to the numbers. they tell the story. look at this. we stop the clock for you. thursday at 9:00 p.m. potentially accumulating up to 3/4 inch of rainfall in places like san jose. we're going to get decent totals from the first system. half inch 0 the way to napa. about a half inch to santa rosa and then our next weathermaker dives to the south. look at this, keep the rainfall totals running, take you into sunday and monday, and yeah, the purple is starting to get closer to the bay area. talking about the potential for an inch and a quarter of rainfall in santa rosa on monday at 1:00 p.m. with more rain in the forecast. yeah, you want to make sure you're ready for the changing

conditions. get the umbrella ready to go. the winter gear and of course you head to tahoe, chains, you need the chains. we'll talk about how much snowfall we expect. first let's talk about the drive. here is mike inouye. >> i thought we were accident free but i got a report of a crash north 880 at the broadway off ramp. this is downtown oakland in the commute direction involving what sounds like a dump truck and a car. so the injuries no details but this will be in your middle lanes until they can move out. we're tracking that. here at the bay bridge we're looking at the backup because of the metering lights, the heaviest volume of the week on this day. we see that today as well. the metering lights turn on before 6:00. we'll look at the maps, the approach. we did talk about the crash 880. over to the maze and the berkeley curve, slow because of the volume. the earlier disabled vehicle

cleared. that's a smoother drive in toward san francisco where there was a second disabled vehicle. around van ness that approaches southbound 101, that cleared from the report as well. any flashing lights as we had two incidents will cause additional flowing as it builds. look at these speeds on the peninsula. smooth, 101 and 280 close to the limit. 280 slows around the bend past 19th or highway 1. no big surprises. on the east bay we have our tri-valley times, slowing out of the altamont pass toward livermore traditional pattern. live look for the san mateo bridge, a smooth drive across the bay on 92 and also then in the south bay. no surprises. we'll show you that coming up. >> thanks so much. still ahead on "today in the bay" facebook then and now. taking you live to where facebook headquarters are in the bay area. we'll show you how the social

chase cain joins us at facebook head quarters with a look at how the company has changed the bay area and the world since it started 10 years ago. >> reporter: it sure has. a billion users. it's even bigger. $3 billion that mark zuckerberg is reported by worth. an impressive number considering it's just the tenth year that facebook has been around. let's look back at the original the facebook site launched in 2004ment it was only available at a few select colleges but quickly things grew, adding photo albums, the news feed and some of the changes over the years. those got people upset because they liked face pook the way it was. the website has changed a lot as has the company. it started out in palo alto, moved to its menlo park head quarter as little more than two years ago. now facebook has more than 6300 employees, they are on five

continents, users around the world. so, in honor of this anniversary mark zuckerberg sat down with nbc to look back at it all. >> i was excited we were doing it at one school. and at the time i thought someone needs to build a service like this for the world. i always thought that was incredibly important thing but i never thought we'd be the ones to help do it. >> reporter: facebook has changed the peninsula too. after it moved into this headquarters facebook gives the city nearly a million dollar as year for being here in the community. and it's also changed people that live here. according to zillow, we looked back at home prices. the average home was around $920,000. now a little more than two years later the average home price in menlo park, listen to this, $1.8

million. the average home price doubled in menlo park. cannot be sure how much is due to facebook but no doubt its employees had a big impact on the neighborhood. >> especially when they went public. thanks so much. >> hard to imagine years ago when it was $900,000 for a house. >> chase mentioned this is what the facebook home page looked like in 2004 when the site had just one million users. a list of some other differences between now and then. it was called the facebook back in 2004. there were no photo albums until 2005. you couldn't tag photos. there was no mobile app until 2006, no newsfeed until 2006. >> it's astonishing how quickly things move. >> and change. >> you think you had an iphone for ever and then you look back. >> hasn't been that long. i want to check in with meteorologist christina loren. one thing tried and true that good old fashioned umbrella.

>> yeah. you need it. hey, speaking of facebook i love facebook because it gives you an opportunity to relay a lot of content and you know what, when i'm home i'm constantly posting on the weather. hey, we're always trying to find a better way to serve you with our weather forecast as well. so remember your seven-day forecast is here at the bottom of your screen. you don't have to wait for it. it's always there for your region, scrolling throughout all of my broadcasts. where we're headed today, a cool and cloudy day. you can leave the umbrella at home today and tomorrow. then the showers move in as we head throughout tomorrow night. so make sure you're ready for that. highs today are going to be cool, mid to upper 50s across the bay area. 58 in the east bay. 57 degrees in the north bay. mid-50s in san francisco. thanks for waking up with us each and every morning. getting the kids ready, maybe

suggest that because it's going to be tied up for the morning probably being a traffic tuesday. the heavy volume starting to kick in. westbound 24, westbound 80, those both move according to your tuesday. the metering lights are on and the backup continues there. let's look at speeds throughout the north bay. folks there, southbound 101 not a problem. it is west 37 over from vallejo area and novato. speeds down into the 40-mile-per-hour mark. slower out of vallejo. we'll show you the volume, there is northbound at the limit on these curves and at the bottom of your screen. southbound 880 through fremont a. nice flow south of the dumbarton bridge. let's look at the maps and speeds. the tri-valley, typical pattern into san jose. 680 not a problem. 87 with a gentle build here, that's your south bay commute.

seat. he's going to be asked what led to this, was there enough security in place, why did it take four days to let people know what was going on. he's also going to be talking about what the company plans to do moving forward. target has said they are putting smart chips in their own credit cards, something that visa and mastercard arlooking at but they want to early up the date, do it sooner than planned so. about a year from now is the target date. end of next year is what visa and mastercard are looking at. the smart chips would prevent people from creating new cards and using them because the new card would have no chip inside to match up. it's expensive. target and retailers are willing to put the money in because without it they risk losing customers. we'll hear from him. we'll also hear today from the chief information officer, top technology officer for neiman-marcus. they suffered a breach as well. >> all right.

metering lights which are on, the backup off the berkeley curve. pretty typical pattern, a smooth drive across the san mateo bridge. show you the volume of traffic. taillights westbound has more flow over to the peninsula. a look outside, for the south bay. 101 is okay here, 680 a new crash around 87 and another one for the peninsula in north 101 at the embarcadero off ramp. those are major commute spots. >> thanks so much. children as young as 1 year old are receiving a marijuana-based drug as part of a study out of uc san francisco. researchers will conduct the world's first study of the plant's ability to treat before symptom of epilepsy. the children suffer from seizures so severe drugs have little or know effect.

was lower. oakland is at $2, san francisco is even more. san jose transportation leaders tell the merck that the rock bottom prices occupied 90% of the day because people stay because the parking is cheap. they want to make sure that everyone can park when they need to. business owners are worried that people will shop elsewhere. workers aren't so sure. >> i think that's cool but at the same time i don't agree with it going up, the prices, you know. maybe people might not park at the meters as much. >> reporter: 3/4 of u.s. city uses these smart meters, so san jose would join the majority. this applies to about half of all downtown meters. 1200 of the 2500. they are talking about this at 1:30 this afternoon. if everything goes as expected the meters would be ready to operate by the end of march.

to help do it. >> facebook was the one. zuckerberg now worth $3 billion but at least he and his wife have both donated a lot of money through charities and nonprofits especially in the bay area. we talked about this earlier. i'm going to come clean. when facebook was founded 10 years ago i was a junior at the university of georgia. i remember when we signed up everyone saying what is that. so we used myspace back then. that was the big thing at the time. it's come a long way. now we say myspace, what's that? >> exactly. >> well, as chase mentioned here's the first facebook home page twoyn 004. one million years and a handful of campuses and of course this is what facebook looks like today. more than a billion active users. >> and we like to keep in
