may 27th. she stepped out of a nursing class during a break and never returned. since then, hundreds of volunteers have combed through parts of the east bay. an friday they were in niles canyon. on friday and saturday they went through neighborhoods. the family hasn't let us know if that search turned up anything significant. hayward police are investigating michelle le's disappearance as a homicide. michelle says they have seen no evidence of that and they will continue to look for her. they are hoping someone with information out there might be more likely to come forward and provide that information to a private investigator instead of police. if you come forward to a private investigator you may not have to deal with the same legal reprocushions. that is what the family pinning its hopes on. they want to point out the private investigator is doing this investigation completely

independently of hayward police and the fbi and in the meantime the family has organized another volunteer search effort for this saturday, june 25th. live in san mateo allie rasmus air. this is an unbelievable story. a young sacramento mother is in jail this morning accused of a crime that has shocked veteran police officers. kayang killed her six week old baby by placing her in a microwave. investigators have spent the past three months trying to determine what caused the baby's severe and unusual burns. >> it's the pattern of the burns that you see in a case of a microwave that are different than what you would see in a child being burned with oiling water. chipping a pot -- tipping a pot off the stove. >> homicide detectives have arrested the 29-year-old woman at her sacramento home

yesterday. at this point there is no word of possible motive. time now 6:33. happening right now the casey anthony murder trial is now under way in orlando florida. these are live pictures right here. this looks like washington, d.c.. this does not look like orlando florida. we will talk about the casey anthony case. now these are wrong pictures folks. casey anthony is accused of killing her two-year-old daughter caylee. yesterday the defense attacked the prosecution forensic evidence. prosecutors they say they are checking into information about a prison inmate who was jailed along with casey anthony. prosecutors suspect that casey anthony may have stole her defense theory from that inmate by the way casey anthony's daughter drown that casey anthony's daughter may have drown in a swimming pool and may have been murdered. we will check back to orlando

florida with the latest on that a little bit later on. the brentwood man accused of poisoning his neighbors pets denies he has anything to do with the deaths. >> i don't like being lied about. i will talk to the police. >> ktvu news spoke to dave outside of his home yesterday. his neighbors believe he is responsible for the deaths of at least six dogs and two cats and investigators have seized what appears to be pet food from his front yard. >> why would he have pet food in his yard if he doesn't have any pets? >> i didn't put them there. maybe these are staged props. who knows. >> animal control investigators are waiting for lab results to see if any criminal charges will be filed. 6:33. governor jerry brown is about to unvail a revised state budget today after he vetoed the one from lawmakers last

week. and he won't pay lawmakers because their budget was not balanced. ktvu claudine wong joining us live. she is in san francisco now where a lot of people are applauding what the controller did. good morning, claudine. >> reporter: good morning, dave. we have been asking people about both those things. governor jerry brown expected proposal today and the state controller decision to dock the lawmakers pay. we have been getting strong reactions about both. let's first talk about the state control controllers decision to dock pay. if you take a look at his facebook page you will see nothing but praise. people calling him a hero. asking him to run for governor. now he told reporters yesterday that his phone has been ringing off the hook. he said it's a basic math problem. it just wasn't balanced. according to a voter approved proposition they don't get paid. lots of lawmakers not happy with them they are losing about

$400 a day. that money is gone. they will never get that back. this morning we asked people out here what they would cut and everyone we asked struggled with that question. it's certainly easier what shouldn't be cut and what should. despite that they don't have any sympathy for the unpaid lawmakers faced with that same task. >> i think they knew what they were doing. i think they put this together. it was incomplete and they put it together to get paid. >> that is fine. if they don't want to do their job, then they shouldn't get paid. >> reporter: so it appears governor brown will present his own opinion about what should be done with a budgets proposal that will be presented to darrell steinberg sometime today. it's unclear if he will seek republican support. he did meet yesterday with democrats and did not republicans. there should be a few cuts in there. but it's hard to find many people happy in this process at all. we will talk to more people

much cooler coast and bay. it will be another toasty bay inland. if you are waiting for cooler weather just hang on it will be here. it will take another day or two before things cool down. it looks like the cooler weather wind is out. well the federal reserve will wrap up its two day meeting later this morning and economists are anxious to hear the fed chairman's comments afterwards. ben bernanke is not expected to announce they will make any changes. what analysts want to hear the is economic forecast. most expect him to say there has been a recent soft patch in the recovery but the growth is likely to rebound before the end of the year. what he says will certainly effect the markets. here's where we are right now. the live look at the big board on the new york stock exchange somehows the dow jones down about 18 points.
