quote, nothing has changed. even though lamar's body has never been found, the prosecution presented other physical evidence that might link garcia torres her disappearance, including dna found in his car and dna on her clothes, which were recovered in a field near her home. the last person called to the stand was a digital evidence forensic examiner for the sheriff's office who testified about lamar's final activity on her e-mail and social media accounts. and surveillance cameras that may or may not have recorded garcia torres driving his car around the time of lamar's disappearance. if convicted, garcia torres, who is 26 years old, could receive the death penalty. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, today in the bay. >> all right, bob, thank you for following that for us. >> 6:04. all new this morning, had writers guild of america did stop a deal froemming a strike from happening. they reached a deal for better pay and health care benefits. for now, the show goes on.

where employees opened millions of accounts without customer knowledge. legislation would eliminate arbitration clauses in contracts. those kinds of clauses stop consumers from having their day in court to recover damages. airline execs are going to be facing congress this morning to explain among other things while they overbook flights. >> scott mcgrew, united's ceo gets the middle seat this morning. >> he does. we expect oscar munoz to continue to apologize, continue to explain all those new policies that united will prevent scenes like this one, but that all ruined united's already tenuous relationship with passengers. the house transportation committee asked for the meeting with airline executives shortly after the video went viral. the meeting starts at 6:30 our time, just in a few minutes. we don't expect new laws but we do expect a lot of politicians on both sides to show up angry. >> other news, the nasdaq hit an

what it looks like as far as temperatures. we're up to 82 degrees today in san francisco. breezy tomorrow. a little bit of an onshore flow, and then cooler temperatures for the rest of the week and a chance of sprinkles by the end of the weekend. very hot for the inland areas. and we don't catch that breeze until thursday into friday. more clouds and a chance of showers sunday into monday. we'll have more on that. mike is checking in on that crash in pinole. >> i am, and also those south bay drivers stick with me, south county is an issue. the tri-valley and at the castro valley area, a smooth flow of traffic. the upper east shore freeway which continues with about the same amount of slowing over the last 15 minutes. that crash sounds like everything is off to the shoulder, someone may have been an ambulance necessary, minor injuries from what i understand. there's the tri-valley, there's the castro valley, and the build for hayward west across san mateo and the dumbarton bridge build as well right on schedule

welcome back. 6:25 on your tuesday morning. education is improving across the nation.

it turns fewer african-americans are dropping out of high school. that, according to the national urban league state of black america 2017 report, which is said to be released later this morning. usa today reports that not only is the number of high school dropouts on the decline overall, but more african-americans are also earning degrees from junior colleges. that report credits the obama administration for the improvements, but says there are still huge racial disparities in the u.s. education system. >> it's 6:twish right now. nbc bay area responds to a san jose man who needed help recovering more than $8,000. heed to our consumer team for a hand. chris chmura is here now with that story. >> russell maynard sold a high-end sewing machine on ebay for $8600. he shipped the machine to his buyer using fedex and in doing that, he asked fedex for the pap paperwork to declare the value of the machine. he was nervous because it was a very expensive item. he said the clerk at fedex told

him there was no such paperwork, and russell trusted her. that machine ended up arriving badly damaged. so the buyer returned it to russell, who had to refund the entire purchase. next, russell filed a claim with fedex. about a week later, fedex issued russell a check for $241. he was shocked because that's more than $8,000 short. he says fedex told him it was because he didn't declare the value of the package at the type of shipping. russell explained what happened when he shipped the machine and was shuffled around to few different people within the claims division, but in the end, fedex stood its ground, so russell reached out to us for help. we contacted fedex and it aed to cut russell another check for $8600. in a statement, fedex didn't really explain anything, but it did say that it regretted the delay in resolving mr. maynard's claim. lesson learned. declare a value when shipping items, especially the pricey ones. if you have a complaint, let us

know. 888-996-tips or logon to nbc bay area/responds. >> thank you very much. >> coming up next on today in the bay, the rattlesnake warning going out this morning as we get ready for another hot day across the bay area. >> that used to be the branham high school snack shack, a fund-raising opportunity for the baseball boosters. it was wiped out by an overnight fire and the custodian here said it's not the first time the snack shack was targeted. find your awesome with the xfinity x1 voice remote. that's amazing!

right now, 6:30, we're starting out the morning with clear skies and cooler temperatures. but the sun's coming out. and ready to make an appearance. we're ready for a hot day with temperatures in the 90s in some parts of the bay area. what happened to spring? taking a live look outside downtown san jose this morning. i hope we get a chance to enjoy spring before summer makes its grand appearance. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. we hit pause, coming back here in a couple days. laura said 90s. i know you were in napa the past weekend where it was 70s, low 80s. beautiful they're seeing 90s today. >> oh, yeah. going to be really hot today. we're talking inland valleys reaching into the 90s today. we have today and tomorrow, and then temperatures will be coming back down. as we get that live look, again, once again from san jose, you can see the sun rising over the

hills, and the spider has made a web right there over the camera lens. that's just the sun shining through. 60 degrees as you head out the door. 59en santa rosa, 58 in fairfield. a mild start to the day. look where the high temperatures will go. up to 85 in oakland and up to 93 in concord and napa. that's what we were talking about. 82 in san francisco. i'm getting you ready for the weekend coming up in six minutes. right now, mike has a pleasant commute. >> right along the bay, things looking really good. volume is building, so we see over here in hayward and across the san mateo bridge a little more slowing. same thing for the tri-valley and just starting northbound routes for the south bay. we're going to move the map up to see the sensors over here for highway 4, concord, bay point, and the walnut creek interchange. build, no surprises and no major crashes down here in the upper east shoreway moves well down to the toll plaza where the metering lights are on. we'll show you the volume of

traffic on highway 101 is manageable and no problems between silicon valley and san francisco. back to you. >> thank you very mump, mike. 6:32 right now. new this morning, a fire breaks out at a south bay high school campus, and this morning, investigators are calling it suspicious. kris sanchez joins us live at branham high school to show us some of the damage left behind this morning. good morning, kris. >> good morning, now that the sun is up and the custodian has arrived, we know this is worse than it seemed when it was still dark outside. apparently, whoever set this fire also vandalized two of the sheds there. and used some of the tools to also vandalize the snack shack. you can see it is nearly a total loss and the reason that the fire department believes this is suspicious, even before knowing about the vandalism at the shed, is because the fire started on the stoop outside the door. and thus, it appears it may have been set on purpose. now, adding to the suspicious nature, in the last half hour, i talked to the custodian who said

just last weekend, someone broke into the snack shack, the same one for the baseball team, and stole all of the sodas, the candy, other fund-raising items. as for this morning, crews arrived on scene around 2:30 in the morning and after putting the flames out, they did remain on scene for more than an hour to make sure that the fire did not spread. now, crews did mop up, they watched for hot spots. there is a sign here on campus, and we can show it to you live. there is video surveillance here. so perhaps this will lead to a clue for investigators to figure out what happened here if this was set on purpose to try to track down the folks who did it. the vandal who took out that storage shed and perhaps even the people who broke in and stole the items that were fund-raising items for the booster club. we're sports parents. we know how critical the fund-raising opportunity is for our sports programs. now, this is clearly disappointing for the athletes, for the booster club, for the school. but it's also disappointing for

an eagle scout here because the fire department tells us that this was just redone as part of an eagle scout project. and so that person is going to be disappointed this morning as well. at branham high school in san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. >> tough hit for the school, tough hit for the eagle scout. thank you very much. 6:35 right now and a milpitas family forced out of their home by an overnight fire. this happened about 2:00 overnight. the home's right near milpitas high school. in a second, you'll see some of the people who were iinside, able to get outside, but clearly shaken up. we're still waiting for more information as to how the fire actually started. >> 6:35. happening today, the accused oikos university shooter will be back in an oakland courtroom today for a pleaing. the hearing is a continuation from last week. back in april, one goh was found mentally competent to stand trial for killing seven people in a 2012 mass shooting. last month also marked the fifth

anniversary of the shooting. >> watch your step. the weather getting warming outside, and the snakes are coming back out. proof of this, a rattlesnake bit a san jose man while he was climbing peak in fremont yesterday. he was on the trail with his wife at the time. he ended up sitting down on a rock for a second. as he was doing that, he got bitten. luckily, a chp officer or chp chopper was nearby and was able to rescue him. >> he was a 47-year-old male from san jose. when went to sit down after hiking on the peak, and he put his hand down and was bitten by a rattlesnake. >> the bite was bad enough that the man had to be taken to washington hospital for antivenom treatment. we'll keep you updated on his condition. in the meantime, a live look right now. there's that sun coming up over the bay bridge toll plaza this morning. you see the entrance is packed there. also going to be some bike riders out too as there is a new opening to announce. today is the grand opening of the new vista point facility in

yerba buena island for bicyclist. the new path will be available every day during the week, not just during the weekends. caltrans had blocked that part of the bridge during construction due to heavy duzal fumes and smoke from demlution crews removing the old eastern span. >> you'll still have to watch for fumes. you saw the backup at the bay bridge, but the breeze will blow it clear, i believe. we're showing a smooth flow. i wouldn't say driving is a breeze, but it's not a major problem for any of your commutes. a build through the northbound routes and the south bay. here's 101, 87, and 85. over the last 15 minutes, we have seen the speeds dip to the 50s at times and also slowing by san jose international airport. a pretty typical pattern there. highway 101 having a prubl out of gilroy and san martin. a crash involving two trucks blocking the slow lane has traffic tied up and it has not

helped the tie-up in morgan hill where things have slowed down there. and mass transit from the south bay, vta, up through b.a.r.t. and muni, a smooth drive for riders. >> thank you very much. it's 6:38 right now. we made it past monday, so we're already looking forward to the weekend. and hoping for some good weather, but thinks will change. >> yeah, we're going to have huge changes. we're coming off a warm and sunny weekend. this weekend coming up, it looks like it will be a little more cloudy and also cooler. looking at the valleys and inland areas on saturday. we start out at 9:00 with some cloudy skies. and temperatures in the mid 50s. by noon time, we're at 64. and 68 degrees. and there will even be a slight chance of some showers rolling through that may linger into early sunday morning as well. high temperatures in the upper 60s. it will be comfortable. it won't be bad at all. we also have a lot of cinco de mayo celebrations for saturday in san francisco. in the mission district, their temperature holding steady in

the upper 50s to lower 60s with a mix of sun and clouds. if you are planning to head to lake tahoe this weekend, it's going to be a cool one. and maybe a chance to get the last snowfall of the season, especially on sunday, with some scattered snow showers in the forecast. if you can believe that, after a week with temperatures in the 70s. monterey will have cool temperatures as well. more clouds in the mix and highs only reaching the upper 50s. make sure you have on a nice warm jacket for the beach there. we'll take a look at hot temperatures and the possibility of setting some new records. that's coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you very much. 6:39 right now. critical day. coming up inn three minutes, the major developments we're expecting in the sierra lamar murder case in just a few hours. >> the president dealing with more tough talk from north korea. we'll take a look at that as well. >> and we are keeping a close eye right now on the stock market this morning, dow jones

industrial average up 40 points so far at 20,951. as for the nasdaq composite, that's already hit a new intra day high, and apple stock way up, leading the gains right now. we'll be back with more. stay awake with us. in two and a half minutes.

it's 6:42, as we let a live look outside at palo alto, we out with the sunshine, bright on all of the trees. as we go through the day, it will be sunny and very warm.
