the kron 4 morning news starts right now. good morning. it is wednesday, april 9th. i'm james fletcher. our top story: more underwater signals have been detected. in the search for the missing malaysia airlines jetliner. ships rigged with underwater search gear are investigating several deep- sea acoustic signals. which may be coming from the black box of the missing plane. two signals were picked up yesterday. crews hope they're coming from the plane's two data recorders. the search teams believe they are searching in the

right area but still need to see wreckage before anything is confirmed as coming from the missing plane. even if the black box is recovered, investigators may not be able to fully piece together what happened. that's because the cockpit voice recorder contains the final two- hours of audio. the plane stayed airborne for seven - hours after veering off-course. one of the 9-1-1 dispatchers who sent help to the asiana plane crash. is honored as he city of san francisco's 'dispatcher of the year.' the 9-1-1 calls about crash of flight 214 came in quickly after the plane hit the ground. and the response from police and firefighters took just over five-minutes. kron-4's alecia reid spoke with matthew roybal, who recalled the frenetic and emotional calls after the crash. return to index of stories...

sot - im really happy they feel that way about me and im appreciative. oscars sot - i had a lot of help so this wasn't a one person team on dispatch, there were a lot of people helping in the background. the day asiana flight 214 crash landed at san francisco international airport, matthew roybal took control at the office of emergency management. sot - there were a lot of things. i literally couldn't keep up with everything if i didn't have help he now holds the dispatcher cause of the year award, which is picked by fellow dispatchers. his peers recognized the work he did and honored him for it. sot - that is the ultimate compliment when you are recognized by your peers. matthew says he knew there was a lot going on at the airport, but it was the tv screen inside the office that showed him the chaos. sot - that's when it really

hit you, you know that it's bad. that it's tragic. sot - i had to stay focused. i didn't have time to think about it more. i knew it was intense but i had to focus on my job. thankfully he says, there was calm, clear and professional support throughout the ordeal. while getting enough emergency responders to the airpport, matthew had to also make sure he wasn't leaving the city unattended. reporting in san francisco. a new security flaw has been discovered. that has researchers advising everyone who uses the internet to change all of their passwords! the flaw puts everyone's passwords, credit cards and other sensitive data. at risk.

it's called "heartbleed". and it attacks encryption technology which is used to securely transmit e-mail, social networking and even e-commerce transactions. making matters worse, heartbleed remained undetected for two years! toyota will recall more than six -and- a-half million vehicles worldwide. to fix issues with the steering and seats. the world's largest automaker is recalling the yaris, scion x-a, rav-4 and hilux models. after finding faults in the steering column, wiring harnesses and seat railings. the recall covers models between 2004 and 2010. it is still not clear if the problems are part of the design. or are manufacturing issues.

a professional wrestler -- who was just inducted into the sport's hall of fame -- has died. what we now so far, coming up. the search for a hissing hiker loses steam. why authorites are pulling back so soon. and -- what happened when batkid returned to san francisco. for the giants' home opener!

welcome back to the kron4 morning news 3 us get a check of weather and traffic with erica. in the morning. the morning. here's a look at your temperatures for

today. san francisco 53 degrees 57 leaving your house. plenty of '70s is not a few eighties expected and the south bay. campbell 8177 and mountain view you will see that temperatures are the setup: no experience of the past few days. fairfield today looking huge. 7782 degrees in pittsburgh. low 80s in walnut creek. it may 80s and castro valley. i think san francisco also making its way to this '70s to that low '70s along the east bay shoreline and mid- 60s for daly city. in terms of your text and forecast a 7 day around the bay shows temperatures will take a tumble over the next couple of days. although we will

see sunshine i think that was the ground. this could bring some rain to southern california cloud cover to the bay area but i think we'll really hold on to dry conditions for at least the next seven days. more details on your forecast coming up in a moment. right now talking traffic periods were now looking at any hot spot. in time to leave your house. in my last report as i did mention. that has been completely cleared out of the traffic lanes. relive old structures as you drive around the bay. as a live look of the bay bridge toll plaza. filling very easy ride. clocking in at over 11 minutes at a major way from the macarthur maze towards free my street this morning. looks lik those cars are using fasttrack

lanes very over on our traffic maps peninsula looks good. and joining green on the roadways sensors at keeping a close eye on westbound 580. here's your ride out of tracy into the livermore valley. the clock were still seeing top speeds as we approached the 58680 interchange. >>:a man was killed outside a liquor store in antioch. police received a call yesterday afternoon of shots fired and a victim on the ground near joe's liquor and food on d street. when police arrived they found the victim -- shot several times. the man was taken to the hospital, where he died. police have not released any information about the shooter. one of the w-w-e's most iconic wrestlers of all

time-- has died. the ultimate warrior-- real name james hellwig -- collapsed outside an arizona hotel yesterday evening-- while walking to his car with his wife. the warrior was taken to a nearby hospital -- where he later died. still no word on what he died of. his death comes just days after being inducted into the w-w-e hall of fame. warrior began his w-w-e career in 1987 and quickly rose to the top to become one of the biggest stars in w-w-e history. he was 54 and is survived by his wife dana and his two daughters. still no sign of a woman who was last seen more than a week ago along the slopes of mount tam.

and authorities are now scaling back the search effort. search and rescue crews only spent a few days looking for the missing woman. kron 4's charles clifford tells us why they are pulling back. magdalina glinkowski was last seen on sunday march 30th when she was photographed by a security camera at a parking lot on mt. tamalpais. 3 days later her car was still in the

same spot and authorizes started looking for her. but after less than a week of searching, including an all out effort over the weekend, the search was scaled back. but compared to other missing women cases, the search for magdalena seems very brief. in march of 2012, 15-year - old sierra lamar vanished in morgan hill. hundreds of

people searched the area almost non stop for months. she remains missing and two years later, there are still weekly organized searches. over christmas 2006, laci peterson disappeared in modesto california and thousands of people searched for her for weeks

until her body was found the following april. her husband, scott peterson, was eventually convicted of killing her. but there are big difference between those past cases and the search for magdalena. both laci peterson and sierra lamar disappeared under suspicious circumstances. peterson was pregnant and because she vanished on christmas, authorites and family suspected foul play from the start. lamar was last seen at a bus stop on her way to school and it seems unlikely she would have disappeared of her own free will. magdalena on the other hand, has so far vanished without a trace and while authorities can't rule it out, there's also no evidence of foul play. that lack of information seems to have left the search without a clear motivation to continue a large scale effort. also, both peterson and lamar were well known in their respective communities. they had family and friends who actively kept the searches going. according to her family, magdalinea was new to the bay area. she had few friends and no family nearby. her parents, who live in boston, are in marin trying to help with the search effort , but she has few advocates in the community. it took almost three days for anyone to even notice she was missing. and finally, rangers with california state parks say that they have limited resources and that'll need credible information in order to send search crews back onto the mountain. this just in.

authorities are searching for two people who fell into the mississippi river when a barge overturned while unloading steel coils in northeast arkansas. the coast guard has closed part of the river while it searches for the two people. a third person jumped to safety when the barge overturned. two people are missing after a barge capsized tuesday in mississippi county, arkansas. the accident happened at a dock owned by kinder morgan. a company spokesman says the barge was being unloaded when it flipped over. the barge itself is completely submerged in the river. the search on the mississippi river was suspended until wednesday morning. the river is near flood

meanwhile dozens of families who lost loved ones in tragedies including 9/11 and the connecticut school massacre are trying to create a fund to support victims and relatives of the fort hood shooting. the national center for victims of crime says about 70 families are supporting the fund to provide no- strings-attached cash payments. the autopsy report on the woman who led washington d- c police on a car chase through the capital last october. has been publicly released. the report reveals 34-year- old miriam carey was shot five times from behind. her one-year-old child was in the car at the time. but was not injured. toxicology tests determined carey did not have alcohol or drugs in her blood. carey was not armed. her family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the government saying the shooting was unjustified. u-s capitol police say the agency can't comment on the suit during an ongoing

investigation. hossthe secret service has reassigned agents from its special operations division after two embarrassing incidents earlier this year that likely involved alcohol. three agents were sent home from the netherlands last month after one was found intoxicated in a hotel a day before president barack obama arrived to meet with foreign officials. and two agents were involved in a vehicle crash in south florida earlier this year during a presidential trip. the secret service has changed its rules on when agents are allowed to drink. batkid is back! miles scott threw out the first pitch at the san francisco giants home opener. kron 4's j-r stone was at the game. and caught up with the young superhero. as for the game. brandon belt slammed a two-run homer for the giants. he's tied for first in the majors with five home runs. the giants lead the league with 12 home runs. michael morse had a couple of solid hits. and tim hudson shut down the d- backs. a great home debut for those two. giants win 7-3. it's a u-conn sweep of n-c- a-a basketball championships. last night, the u-conn women won it all, beating notre dame 79-58. the night before, u-conn's men's basketball team won

the n-c-a-a title, beating kentucky. the two teams did this once before. in 2004 -- the only two times it has happened.

if you use miles to get a free ticket on american airlines, you may have to

passengers traveling on american on miles they earned or paid full price for an economy seat won't get to check two bags for free anymore. some elite-level frequent fliers on both airlines will get one less free bag than before. as for redeeming miles for free flights, us airways is ending blackout days. while american will change the number of miles to get an unrestricted free flight a 100- million dollar donation from marc and lynne benioff. will bring new names and funds to bay area children's hospitals. the donation will support programs in basic and clinical research at the two hospitals. the east bay hospital will now be known as u-c-s-f benioff children's hospital oakland. while the san francisco hospital will be sa known as u-c-s-f benioff children's hospital.

this is the second gift the benioffs have given to u-c- s-f. they made their first 100- million dollar donation in 2010. marc benioff is the c-e-o of satellite their radar shows high clouds. you can see that coming in from the west both parts will burn off as we head into the afternoon. the cloud cover will remain in the coast line. temperatures will cool off dramatically. we will see temperatures mainland the 60s along the coast still looking at fairly warm conditions inland. we will see mid to upper '70s for the east bay interior spots. sam until today checking in at 74. upper '70's down and the south bay. overall we're looking at very warm conditions for this time of year. here's a look to 7 day around the bay forecast. by
