audience on line. 3billion people versus half a million back then. you have a lot more real profitable businesses. the mobile phone revolution the use of that has led to a really strong internet economy. all i'm saying is what you are going to see is scaling back of what's been going on which was not sustainable to begin with. >> our lessons learned some yes some no. i have absolutely no faith that everybody is going to say well we've learned so much the last time and we are not going to go down that path again. that's not necessarily true but people remember what it was like when jobs were scarce. >> and they need to be prepared for jobs being scarce so from what i learned unless there's another major terrorist attack or a foreign market collapsing there will not be a dramatic bubble pop with a different company closing it's doors every day but it will effect the job market, lay offs will continue and it will be harder to keep one you already have.

shortly after he was identified as the person of interest in the disappearance of his wife shelly. now late last night even before again the coroner's office has come out to make a definitive conclusion on whether or not this was shelly pitchner the family took to facebook. take a look at your screen. this is what her son james wrote. my mother and father have recently passed. i hope you respect the privacy of my family and i. we are here in front of the police department and hope to speak with them later on the very latest on the case. they spent the past couple of days in the dunbar bridge area looking for more evidence. they are suspended it but i can tell you if they need to they will continue to find evidence. at this case it is still wide open and calling paul pitchner a person of interest not in fact the killer. the investigation continues. back to you. >> we'll check back with you for more on that.

kron4 was the only station in the bay area to speak with paul before he took his life. he spoke at his home. the two had an argument the day before she went missing and she left home saying she was going to go stay with a friend. >> can you think of anyone who would want to hurt her? >> no we've gone through her entire friend list and going back pretty deeply in the past it's hard to see anyone in there that would have any cause to harm her. >> and you can watch more of that interview with paul pitchner on our website kron4.com. it's 5:05 right now and big news as police in the east bay have made an arrest in the murder of the 22-year-old stacy aguilar. a san jose woman's body was found in a rural area over the weekend. police believe she was killed in hayward. jackie is live at the hayward police department with the latest.

>> good morning. yeah almost two weeks after she was reported missing leaving a house party here in hayward and five days after her body was found in rural fremont hayward police say they have made an arrest in 22-year-old stacy aguilar's murder and it's this person, 23-year-old hayward resident who according to family friends was an ex- boyfriend of aguilar. her body was found with multiple gunshots in fremont on saturday afternoon. that was after she had gone missing for a week. the man was arrested in san francisco and as i said was an ex-boyfriend of aguilars. we had a chance to talk to one of aguilar's close friends and she said she knew they had been going out but didn't think he was a danger to her at all. >> it's somebody that she trusted and i'm pretty sure felt safe with him so that's the part that's really sad and

scary because you think you know someone and sometimes you don't. >> did she ever say he seemed abusive or any signs this might happen? >> no she never talked about that to me. >> what we are hearing is he will be in court tomorrow at 2:00. he will be arraigned on murder charges obviously continuing to cover the story and if we get any new information on the investigation this morning we'll pass it along. >> we'll check back with you later. thanks a lot. >> want to go live at 5:07 to southern california where we have a wild fire burning out of control right notch. this is right near malibu and in the live shot here firefighters pouring water onto the blaze just one of a number of pop fires that have erupted in the larger wild fire burning currently in an area 20 acres just to the west of malibu at 3 this morning near the pacific coast and mulholland highway

come together just east of downtown malibu. a couple of camps have been evacuated and 300 children attending have been whisked out of the area for their safety. and again it's not a populated part of malibu bordering up along national recreation areas so sparsely populated but as the sun comes up we'll get a better idea of how close it's burning to structures and update you with that part of the story but here the camera zoomed in on a fire fighting team working to stamp out this part of the wild fire burning. we'll keep you updated. other headlines happening right now police are investigating a series of burglaries, a spree really on monday night. a commercial building was broken into on auburn court about $50,000 worth of electronics was stolen. just before that an attempted burglary was reported on al bright street. police have not released

information just yet. more burglaries on tuesday. hit a gas station. those thieves moved to a shopping center on washington boulevard. they broke into a restaurant we are told a nail salon and tried to get into a dry cleaning business as well. police are now looking for two men said to be driving in a white 90s lexus sedan. >> isis is threatening facebook founder mark zuckerburg and twitter ceo jack dorsey. the terror group is unhappy that the social networks are taking down isis related accounts. in a new video which we are not showing here this is just blanket isis video and killings that they have done. in this other video isis posted photos of zuckerburg and dorsey riddled with bullet holes. they are going to create ten new accounts for every one that facebook or twitter shuts down and will eventually delete the social media sites completely.

more breaking news this morning the death toll from this powerful storm system that brought tornadoes to the gulf coast and southeast that death toll rising this morning. a young child is among the victims. more than a dozen tornadoes swept across virginia, florida and north carolina causing severe damage. you can see homes literally reduced to rubble. virginia was one of the hardest hit. this morning four people were killed in virginia the youngest victim just two years old. a total of seven people have been killed. tornado watches expired but new warnings have been issued winter storm warnings and advisories issued from texas to delaware with about 50 million people in the storm's path. time now 5:10. still ahead on the kron4 morning news a woman in the east bay is speaking out after two police officers assaulted her in her own home. we'll have her story. and the republican

and we are back. want to take you to southern california where we have live pictures and can get a better idea of the scale of the wild fire burning just east of malibu where the highway comes together. 20 acres at last check was burning but certainly expected to go up as we get more light coming in on the scene and get aerial aircraft up there and get a better idea of how big the fire is. but it is raging. fire crews from multiple agencies and reports of 300 children evacuated from a camp in the area burning deep in the

hills of malibu. this is part of the santa monica mountains national recreation area. a lot of ranches and camps, not so many houses but obviously there's a big concern it could spread to populated areas so look at all of the flashing lights out there. >> just a line of crews along the streets. they don't want that to spread. >> no and that road is a natural break so they are going to hold the line and keep the fire from spreading and jumping towards malibu. >> this just blew up this morning. >> these live pictures only from 3: 00 this morning so a couple hours in. >> and it's that big that fast although they are hitting it hard look at that. >> and the question is going to be about the wind. >> it doesn't look all that windy but it is dry and hot right? >> very dry and they haven't had much el nino storms this whole season. they really missed out on a lot of the rain they were hoping to

get during the season so they've got a severe drought in southern california. the brush and ground is very dry and a lot of fuel for fires. temperatures are supposed to be in the low to mid 80s across southern california including l.a. area so it does look like the warm temperatures aren't going to help them out. >> wow yeah. look at that blowing up right there. >> those flames. this is an iconic southern california landscape. this is southern california when people think of the beautiful cliff side beaches of malibu with the grand hopes and everything else. this isn't near all of the stars homes and everything it's down the road from there. >> but obviously with the direction that it's burning they are pretty concerned. 300 kids in camps there. our producer upstairs went to camp bloom field and that's pretty deep in the hills but obviously the worry is this fire is going to get too close for comfort so kids coming out of camp bloom field taken to

shelters probably closer to malibu just to get them out of the path. >> that happened fast. >> it did and every time they pull out the shot wider you start to realize this is bigger than a second ago. >> we'll keep following that and same story here it's been warm and dry and it's going to continue. >> yeah today and then tomorrow we'll see changes. we've been talking about the chance of showers and it's going to be in the north bay but now the model showing it coming to san francisco and parts of the east bay. it's a fast moving system. >> not relief at all. >> barely. it will make a little dent to compare. here's a live look at the golden gate bridge. temperatures cold and chilly 40- degree readings out there 45 in livermore. pleasanton this time you were in the upper 30s the allergies. low 50s in san jose, 52 in

oakland 53 in san francisco and into the low 50s. so future shows us at 10:00 wide spread 60s and lots of sunshine and all across the board temperatures a little warmer today compared to the last couple of days. including potentially some 70s in the south bay later this afternoon. so shorts and t-shirt weather for you and flip-flops. our east coast highs foretold 74 in oakland and berkeley. 73 in castro valley and talking mid 70s in union city and fremont. heading further inland mid 70s out there as well. 74 in walnut week creek and danville. san ramona 75 degrees and pleasanton and liver more at 75. low 70s in the rest of the bay

area. the south bay a lot of mid 70- degree readings including san jose at 76, 74 sunnyvale and low 70s san francisco. let's talk about the change in weather pattern for tomorrow by lunch time still dry conditions and notice more cloud cover along the coast and then partly cloudy skies possible in the north bay starting in the afternoon hours as we are watching this system come through by 4: 00 santa rosa potentially could see light rain come through at 5 and parts of san francisco potentially the peninsula, parts of the oakland area and also the east bay potentially along the interstate 80 corridor so that might impact drivers for the evening commute tomorrow but again very fast moving light showers and then pretty much out of here and that's pretty much it for that system. checking storm tracker around the bay forecast the next chance for showers arrive on

thursday. a little sprinkle possible and mostly dry for the weekend. here's robin and traffic. >> thank you. checking 90 westbound out of the peninsula a lot of brake lights on the right hand side and no major problems. drive time holding steady 14 minutes from 880 out to 101. it's been quiet all morning. if you have to use it right now it's a slow commute in both directions. no major problems from the north bay. drive times westbound heavy out of antie okay and the bypass split so that's about it. bay ford to concord only 16 minutes. 580 slow out of altamont and no major problems out of oregon hills and san jose a 20 minute trip with no major hot spots for the south bay. >> thank you robin. four oakland police officers on leave this morning accused of

trying to break into a home and assault a woman. it happened on december 9 at the woman's home in the oakland hills neighborhood. her and her husband talked to us about what happened. she says that two off duty officers showed up at her home and assaulted her. she says she does not know the officers and has no idea why they came to her home in the first place. >> he continued to say that he wanted to come in and he wanted to talk to the owner of the house. the officer continued to use vulgar language and i came towards the outside where they were standing and out of nowhere he kind of faced my direction and then just walked towards me and jumped on me. >> in this legal claim cortez identifies two officers involved in this as sergeant joe turner and officer cullen faith. the oakland police department says officer faith has been arrested and a total of four officers have been placed on

administrative leave. to politics 2016 tonight will be the last republican presidential debate before super tuesday. the candidates will be trying to do whatever they can to stop donald trump. so far they've failed. he started as an outsider but he's as confident as ever and says his opponents are in for a rough night tonight. scott mclean has a preview of the debate. >> just a few precious days before super tuesday the epicenter of the republican nomination rate will be texas where the five g.o.p. hopefuls left in the race will meet for a debate in houston. the big question now can anyone stop donald trump. the frontrunner says he'll be ready thursday night. >> we'll be totally prepared. people have not done very well against me. so far everybody that attacks me has gone down. >> marco rubio has been attacking trump something that won't likely stop on the debate stage. >> donald trump alluded to the fact he thinks parts of

obamacare are actually pretty good. >> then ted cruz failed to consolidate support in nevada and especially in south carolina the texas senator thinks he's being treated unfairly. >> i'm curious how many supporters asked marco rubio after losing four states in a row so when do you drop out. >> rounding out the debate stage john kasich and ben carson still believe they have a way forward. >> it's 5:23 and still ahead no surprise most adults don't get enough sleep. we've got tips for you to try to get more shut eye and stay healthy. i'll tell you what they are and a live look at the approach of the bay bridge. lots of folks up early trying to beat the bay traffic. we'll be right back.

5:26 the time. getting enough sleep is crucial of course but more than a third of us don't get enough. people need at least 7 hours of sleep a night. no new groundbreaking news there but research shows the less sleep you get the more risk you have for obesity, diabetes, heart disease and mental illness so try to stick to a schedule. that's tip number one. also go to bed and wake up at the same time each day including the weekends. also keep your room dark and turn the thermostat down. you tend to sleep better when you are cooler.

also get rid of the electronics. try not to keep them by your bed. before bed don't eat a big meal, don't drink caffeine or alcohol and during the day try to exercise. that will make you exhausted by bed time. there could be another problem that's preventing good sleep so check that out. annie. >> tracking another warm day across the bay area james. livermore warming up into the mid 70s by later this afternoon with light winds. right now at 45 degrees so grab a jacket as you head out the door but don't forget your sunglasses and sun screen. two bay area high schools what security measures are being put in place to keep your kids safe. all that coming up.
