crime scene as police try to determine whether the body found in this area belongs to missing nursing student michelle le. alameda county sheriff's sergeant j.d. nelson is here to tell us more about what investigators are going to be doing this morning. we hear there were about a half a dozen police out there overnight securing the area because it is a crime scene. >> we kept members of the alameda and other police officers to hold the scene because today at 10:00 we are going to have more searchers come in and search the area adjacent to where this body was found. >> reporter: the coroner came last night, the body has been removed. what do they still need to look for today? >> now that we have a body that was found and the brushes, i would consider to be medium to high in some areas so we have to get people to go into that brush and check to see if there's any other items that are left behind by anybody that may have had something to do with this. >> reporter: more evidence, is

there a possibility they are maybe looking for a murder weapon or something of that sort? >> you never know. whenever you're searching, anything is possible. so you -- but you have to eliminate all those probabilities so you do have to do a complete and thorough search as we go forward. >> we do have aerial video to show you of this search yesterday and the remote area that investigators were looking through yesterday. can you describe what it's like, what the conditions are like? is it easy for people to access on foot or by car? >> yeah, it's an area you showed it earlier in your broadcast, it's a dirt road, it is accessible by vehicle. we took our vehicles down there last night and yesterday, but it's lightly traveled. it does not get a lot of pedestrian traffic or bicycle or horseback traffic but it certainly is a trail that's used. >> reporter: michelle le went missing on may 27th and the weeks aftercards her -- afterwards her family was diligent about having search parties.

it was a volunteer searcher that found these remains yesterday. what can you tell us about this person that made this grim discovery? >> from our perspective, we got this report from the hayward police department so i was not involved with the portion that led up to that, so hayward would be a person month ask about that -- person to ask about that. right now it's a joint investigation. obviously, there's some speculation of who the body may be but that may not be the case so we have to go with a dual investigation to make sure that all the bases are covered. >> thank you very much, alameda county sheriff sergeant j.d. nelson with the alameda sheriffs department. it was over a week ago that hayward police arrested 27-year- old gizelle esteban for the murder of michelle le. she has not entered a formal plea to those charges but as you heard out here, the

this dirt -- up this dirt road is where this body was found yesterday. investigators comb through the brushy trail where the remains were found and this morning half a dozen police cars still in that area making sure the crime scene remains secure. the alameda coroner removed the body yesterday night and because it is decomposed they cannot yet determine the sex of the body found there. but the sheriff's public information officer tells me by tomorrow the coroner should be able to answer that question to determine whether the remains found there belong to a man or woman. and later this morning a k-9 unit is supposed to come out here to continue the search of this crime scene. >> also looking for anything that may have been an instrument of the crime or anything that was left behind by the suspect. so it's an area that we have to search to make sure that there's nothing else here. >> reporter: michelle le has been missing since may 27th and in the weekends after her disappearance -- weeks after her disappearance her family organized several volunteer

search parties, at least eight of them and it was one of those volunteers who discovered these remains in the hills yesterday afternoon. michelle le was last seen at kaiser medical center in hayward where she was a nursing student. she left during a class and never returned. again, that was almost four months ago. now, just over a week ago hayward police arrested gizelle esteban for le's murder. she appeared in court to face those charges a week and a half ago although not yet entered a formal plea. esteban's next court date is scheduled for tomorrow. live in the pleasnaton sunol hills, allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2 news. 7:32. today the ntsb will begin collecting fragments of the plane that crashed at the reno air races on friday. >> reporter casey siegel joins us live from reno and i know they are focusing on the plane's tail. can you tell us why? >> reporter: yeah, they certainly are. although this is still in the very early stages of the investigation, at an air race like this or an air show, obviously there are a lot of

aviation buffs here and a lot of pilots who know their planes inside and out and some of the pilots on the ground reported seeing a problem with the plane's elevator moments before this accident, an elevator is a flat surface on an airplane, a lot of times on the tail that moves up and down allowing the pilots to ascend and descend. the ntsb investigators have not confirmed whether they believe this possibly played a role in the accident. it will take some time to analyze all of the debris and make an official determination, although they have recovered and identified that particular part of the doomed aircraft. now, the faa said that all of the plane's maintenance records checked out prior to this weekend's show here in reno. at last check, 15 people remain in critical condition this morning. now, this event was supposed to run all weekend long,

everything has since been cancelled in the wake of this disaster. they have been holding the reno championship air races as you know for 40 plus years and while this is the first time any spectators have been harmed or killed, the event itself has quite a checkered history in terms of accidents out here. get this. through the years 20 different pilots have been killed in various accidents. some area schools now considering whether to end all field trips to this event. obviously, the future of the reno air race is now very much in question. though the event organizers say that they followed all of the safety precautions to the t and that the faa signed off on everything each year before the event can actually happen. so still a lot of unanswered questions as this community is still reeling from this horrible, horrible tragedy that happened on friday, claudine. >> casey, is there any word of

any possible way to change it to make it safer for the fans and for the pilots? >> reporter: well, john, that is something that they are certainly going to be looking at. obviously, this is a situation where planes don't typically fly over the crowd and in the previous years when these accidents have happened, the crashes have happened out on the runway or out on the tarmac but this is a situation where these planes were looping around the spectators and that is when this particular plane, a world war ii era airplane, lost control and then spiraled and nose dived right in front of the vip section. it didn't actually go into the grandstand. it actually was just feet away, but when it made impact, all of the debris was sent flying into the crowd, so certainly there is going to be a very close eye on how these events are held in the future, not just here in reno, about around the rest of the country for that matter in

terms of keeping people far away from the action so that something like this does not happen again, john and claudine. >> casey siegel reporting live for us from reno. thanks for that update. we will check back in with you in a little bit. 7:36. lieutenant governor gavin newsom is asking for the removal of a political ad by leland yee. >> at least have a caretaker but not play the kind of politics that a political appointee will. >> the ad is an attack on mayor. he calls the ad an attempt to mislead voters. >> yee's exairch says they have -- campaign says it will not take it down. from candidates rolled up their sleeves to volunteer at a fundraiser. he was among those working at a car wash yesterday.
