images investigators released to us, this shows 16-year-old kiely rodni the night of the party. a number of bay area teenagers were at the party as well as "today in the bay"'s ian cull explains investigators are hoping to hear from them. >> reporter: the placer county sheriff releasing this new surveillance video of 16-year-old kiely rodni before she disappeared wearing a black spaghetti-strapped body suit, jeans and vans. more than 100 volunteers taking a moment to pray for her safe return as they join 16 different agencies and now the fbi in searching for her. she was attending a party late friday night at the placer family campground. >> approximately 50 other agents up here helping run down some of those priority informations and leads that have come through. >> reporter: crews are trying to find kiely and her silver honda

crv, detectives now know more about the last time her phone pinged. >> right now the last information we have from cellular data is the 6th at 33 minutes after midnight. >> reporter: i spoke with a placer county spokesperson about the challenges they're facing. >> somebody has to know out of these 200 to 300 people, somebody has to know where kiely went. >> reporter: she's had more than 100 tips but no substantial ones from people at the party which included teens from nevada all the way to the bay area, so this is her message to them. >> we have no interest in pursuing anybody criminally for engaging in any type of underaged drinking or drug consumption. all we're interested in now is getting kiely back home safely to her parents. she's our top priority. if you're afraid of not getting into college, if you're afraid of going to jail, losing your job, these are not things that are going to happen if you step forward and help us find kiely. >> reporter: ian cull, "today in

media, called delete facebook. so this time people are unhappy with the bay area tech company after finding out that the app's private chats may not be so private. it's linked to a mother and daughter chatting about abortion. "today in the bay's" cheryl hurd explains. >> reporter: you might have seen the hashtag on your twitter feed "delete facebook" saying every woman should delete facebook now or this, you have no privacy, #deletefacebook, after the social giant was served a warrant by nebraska police to hand over direct messages between a mother and daughter, that conversation about taking abortion pills. >> i think the real story is the lack of privacy people have in online spaces and you don't recognize why you need privacy until it's too late so i think this story is an example of that. >> reporter: police got a tip that a then 17-year-old girl got help from her mother to take abortion pills. police were investigating if that happened and if it happened

20 weeks into the pregnancy or after. under nebraska law, enacted before roe was overturned, abortion is illegal 20 weeks after an egg is fertilized. >> facebook and other social media outlets are frequently served with search warrants in criminal cases and what facebook said is we had little recourse but to produce the information because this was a lawful court order. >> reporter: police then went to facebook to look for conversations between mother and daughter. the move that is producing backlash. a spokesperson from facebook's parent company meta said "nothing in the valid warrants we received from local law enforcement in early june, prior to the supreme court decision, mentioned abortion. the warrants concerned charges related to a criminal investigation and court documents date that police at the time were investigating the case of a stillborn baby who was burned and buried, not a decision to have an abortion."

cal state east bay professor of communications and history says this shows everyone's privacy is at risk. >> social media is not free. it costs you your privacy. you are the product. you toil away providing data the platform collects and analyzes with the goal of nudging or predicting your behavior and it was quite lucrative. >> reporter: prosecutors are charging them with three felonies and two misdemeanors related to performing an abortion, concealing a body and providing false information. cheryl hurd, "today in the bay." 4:38 for you this morning. coming up, we're going to talk about a partnership with walmart that making with making with studios, the content expected. >> all right. and arreverderci, the bay and arreverderci, the bay area is

the morning i write s-a-n j-o-s-e, i'm like it doesn't look like. >> you've been delivering the last day. >> don't blame me when it gets hot but i'll take credit for the nice weather. [ laughter ] >> i'm reporting in the newsroom on that day. >> this is part of the reason why. take a live look outside in san francisco, you can't even see the top of the bay bridge. the tower is there, because the fog has descended on the bridge and at least the visibility is clear for the most part as you're crossing from the east bay into san francisco, but yeah, we're going to see more of the coastal fog keeping our inland temperatures cool. first day of school for martinez, and it's going to be in the low 60s as you're heading out the door, drop-off time partly cloudy sky but at pickup time it's in the low 80s, a little bit warm but still pretty nice compared to what we've had recently, and we're headed for 84 degrees for an afternoon high

there. for hayward expect a high of 77 degrees and 71 in san francisco and low 80s for much of the north bay, while you head to the south counties in the upper 80s, and then 90 tomorrow, so you'll see the trend. it starts to heat up each day with fairfield reaching 92 degrees, and then we're still looking at some hot weather headed into friday, although some spots like where we get a little bit more of an ocean breeze in san jose, it will come down a degree or two, so it will all depend on where you are, but we are looking at a warmup ahead, really no significant changes as far as pressure systems, but we will have a slight shift in the wind direction and take a look at napa, we go from mid 80s for today to low 90s for the weekend, and then mid-90s early next week, with those temperatures peaking on tuesday. we are once again looking at some hotter weather ahead as we look at the seven-day forecast, we go from upper 80s in our warmest spots to low 90s, and it's not a significant change,

but you will notice that it will be slightly more uncomfortable for the middle of the day, but san francisco's keeping it in the 60s throughout the seven-day forecast and mike, you're also looking at the going going and the fog. >> kari, that's exactly right. you showed the fog that had come down across the tops of the towers of the bay bridge but the drive was okay. the drive of the golden gate bridge for the last couple of minutes has seen a little fog. we notice the caution signs, the cones and slowing sensors because the crews are still out there on the northbound direction headed up toward sausalito. that's standard so that little bit of fog is not a major problem. we talked about santa rosa schools kicking in today and that will be the case, also we have new haven and newark over in the east bay. over in the same area we do have the niles canyon area which still has the overnight roadwork as well so keep those things in mind. this roadwork should clear up soon, the school year just getting started. mountain view and los gatos starts school today.

palo alto, this is interesting, middle school and high school starts today, k through 5, one more morning. back to you. >> don't wake your brother and sister. this morning a 75-year-old man is in custody after detectives say dna evidence led them to a 1982 murder of a palo alto teenager. "today in the bay's" thom jensen talks with the lead detective who told us he has been following this case since he was a kid. >> reporter: sunnyvale public safety detective matt hutchison was born two years after 15-year-old karen stitt was sexually assaulted and murdered. he was raised in a law enforcement family and grew up hearing about the unsolved case for years. >> there's a lot of emotions that come up in me, and not even being associated with the family, relief. i mean, this has been five years

of my life dedicated to this case. >> he was she was last seen 1982. a delivery man ultimately found her naked body just 100 yards away bound with her own clothes and stabbed some 59 times. as years passed, the case went cold until new dna technology led to a crack in the case and finally a week ago, hutchson and local police arrested 75-year-old gary ramirez at his home in maui. >> he expressioned verbally shock and surprise. >> reporter: there wasn't much to go on. she was playing games and mini golf. her boyfriend told police he last saw karen walking toward the bus stop just after midnight and for decades, that's where the trail ended but recently, detective hutchison and the cold case investigators submitted dna to build family trees on genology websites and a

geneologists narrowed the search to four men in the fresno area >> told the sunnyvale detectives i think your perpetrator is one of these four brothers. >> reporter: in april, gary ramirez was identified as the likely source of that crime scene dna and the da's office confirmed the match last week, triggering the arrest and giving investigators the chance to tell karen stitt's brother, her only living relative, that a suspect was finally in custody. >> that was the biggest moment for me, to speak with them and tell them that it's finally done. >> reporter: the 75-year-old ramirez is scheduled for an extradition hearing in hawaii wednesday. once he's returned to california, he'll face murder, kidnapping and rape charges. if he's convicted, he'd likely spend the rest of his life in prison. in sunnyvale, thom jensen, "nbc bay area news" 4:52. happening today, san francisco state senator scott weiner will join other bay area leaders asking governor newsom to sign off on new steph injection sites.

a bill recently approved would create overdose prevention sites that would have sterilized supplies, also trained staff there. in san francisco, oakland and in l.a. weiner authored that bill and a similar version was vetoed by former governor brown. it became the first u.s. city to allow something like this but the centers there do not receive public funding or support. it's back to school for kids across the bay area and safety is surely atop of the minds of students and teachers. many school districts are taking different approaches and the debate about having police in schools remains a top issue. while there's some evidence showing that armed officers in public schools make many public schools safer, some cases prevented mass shootings of course. there's also some data showing that armed officers in schools led to violent responses by officers. in response, some districts across the country, including oakland, san francisco and west

contra costa have removed sworn law enforcement from k through 12 campuses in recent years. fremont and berkeley unified say their districts are committed to keeping armed officers in schools. >> we have a school resource officer program where each of our high schools has a school resource officer and they also support the attendance area schools and so in conjunction with the fremont police department, we make sure that we are up to date on our response protocols and our training for any unanticipated, unexpected emergency situation. >> and we have been talking about this all week long. we are covering everything you need to know, as your child or children return to school. our website really a great resource, i can tell you that, a great resource for a lot of things but you can find that important school district information including start times and new protocols on nbcbayarea.com. an incredible tale of survival. next on "today in the bay," aa the quick-thinking move the pilot made that saved his life.
