10th. a convict double murder out on parole said he struck again, claiming he killed his own mother. police responded to the man's home yesterday finding a body on the property. paul chambers joins us live with details on what happened and the man's violent past. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. now we did some digging and found out that the 70-year-old man had a very violent past. before the murder convictions we found that he did rape and kidnapping convictions before and after those murders. this is the neighborhood where police came to yesterday. it's also a place where the man said to be living since 2001. he called police and turned himself in for killing his 89- year-old mother. here is a picture of the 70- year-old. police say just before noon he called officers and told them he killed his mother. once police arrived on scene he took them to an area of the property where they found a body. police haven't confirmed the

identity but it's believed to be his 89-year-old moshed. he was sentenced to death in 1966 after he as convicted of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and murdering two teen girls, a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old but the sentence was reversed and he was given life. he was later paroled in 1979. documents state because of good behavior and his lack of prior serious criminal history. he was required to register as a sex offender. he is now in jail at this time facing murder charges and later today vallejo police department will have a press conference to give us more information about this case. of course we will pass it to you with when we get that information. live in vallejo. paul chambers. > a castro valley man due in court to face drug charges in a strange case. sheriff's deputies say he had a

live alligator in his house guarding his marijuana. we have more on this and the alligator. >> reporter: can you imagine the surprise when they found that animal inside this castro valley home. we are at the sheriff's department and police say look, they see a lot of unusual things but a gator guarding marijuana doesn't happen very often. it did happen yesterday. take a look at mr. teeth. mr. teeth is a five foot long alligator, act 16. he was kept inside a cage inside the bedroom of the home near about 34 pounds of marijuana. when deputies approached he got agitated. he has been called sick so the zoo is taking care of him. we believe he is in quarantine and he was not what deputies expected to find. >> they went up to do a probation compliance check. when they arrived they found 34

pounds of dried marijuana and a five foot long gator. >> reporter: we don't know where the 32-year-old bought it but we know he kept it in his home in castro valley. it's a quiet neighborhood, little cul-de-sac where neighbors say they didn't know him or his wife or their 2-year- old very well because they had just moved in. they knew he did have several dogs and a pit bull. >> even when we went in to the backyard we say okay, carry a bat with you. >> reporter: you were worried about the dog. >> yeah. yeah. >> reporter: gator? >> no didn't expect that. >> reporter: the owner of mr. teeth said that he was supposed to be a deterrant for the 34 pounds of marijuana. that marijuana also found in the bedroom of that home next to the gator. he is facing drug, sale and possession charges. he was booked just after midnight being held on 160,000- dollar bail. he will face a judge at two to

be charged and we can see gators line. we found them for about $250 but the fish and game has them listed as illegal to own so it's likely he will face more charges soon for having mr. teeth in his home. live in alameda. >> federal investigators now are leading the investigation into monday's oil tanker crash in to the bay bridge. the national transportation safety board wants to know if radar equipment was working right when the empty oil tanker hit a bay bridge tower in the fog. a coast guard bulletin indicates there may have been problem problems with the radar beacons that helps guide ships between the towers. >> coast guard investigators will consider the status of all the aids in the area.

>> inspectors say the price tag for repairs to the bridge tower could reach three million dollars. the state will pay it first but the owner of the tanker may pay some of the costs. >> we want to update you on a story in new york city that we first reported on yesterday's morning news and mornings on two. a high speed ferry from new jersey nah crashed in to a dock had installed a new propeller system. crews encountered problems with it, especially with the gears. the 141-foot ship named wall street hit the pier in lower manhattan injuring dozens of passengers including two critically. it's to early right now to determine a cause. and we are following developing news this hour, also in new jersey and the east coast. a passenger bus hit a school bus early this morning. these are some new pictures

just in. 16 passengers were reportedly hurt with at least one person in serious condition. there was only the driver in the school bus at the time of the crash, no students, emergency crews cut the wind shield of that school bus in order to get the driver out. you can see the tree, the limb, a big one right through the roof. obviously someone being taken away in a stretcher this is happening in old bridge new jersey. >> that's near where the bus driver was sitting. back here we are getting started. we have a problem in vallejo. >> big problem. the freeway is closed because of a truck that caught on fire. we are getting confusing reports. i'm not sure what happened. in it was an accident or not. highway 37 is closed near highway 29 there in vallejo. i want to bring in a picture. i will use my computer here on the air. this is a picture sent by a viewer driving by and this is

before the truck reportedly exploded. she was driving by. sent this picture and said she had to get away because she heard explosions from the semi that's ace hardware truck and now the fire accident on the scene. they have closed the freeway. we will keep you posted. if you happen to know more you can always contact us right here at ktvu.com or quite. we have slow traffic here. backed up for about a 15 to 20 minute delay. no major problems going through. if you are driving on 101 san francisco its crowded. north and southbound 101 but not a lot of stop and go traffic just yet. >> thank you. very good morning. our system is moving in. not a lot of moisture. there is plenty of activity that goes parallel to the coast, most of it right now is filtering in between san mateo

coast and santa cruz mountains. you can see some of that green, 2500 feet right now, still temperatures, 33 to 38 but that doesn't mean they couldn't get a couple inches of snow. over 17 and the summit, 1800 feet. it's in the ballpark. so that's through one by the way the winter weather advisory for the santa cruz mountain. scattered showers, upper 40s, low 50s. if we could get that moisture we would get some snow. there is not a lot to work with. upper 20s, i have heard that, 30s and 40s as well and the temperatures are going to be really cold. you can see what's going on. you will probably see good cloud build ups. skyline. san mateo coast. right down to monterey. it's really getting painted. little bit right here. you can see that beginning to turn to snow. no reports yet. couple reports of some rain,

wind but not to much. mainly a lot of breaks in the clouds, around wood received colder action showers, mainly to the south, windy at times, very low snow levels but upper 40s on highs, very low 50s. a cold day. now there is frost and freeze advisories out tonight for tomorrow morning. by this time tomorrow there will be plenty of 20s inland. no doubt. this pattern, this is a stronger part of the system but there will be a series of weak systems out of the north. they usually don't have much but they can all the sudden show up. saturday there will be one. another weak one on sunday. >> thank you. keeping kids safe. what the berkeley school district is doing to protect students in the wake of the connecticut school shooting. >> and the flu outbreak is getting worse. where a public health emergency has been declared and that's the situation for us here in california. well, well, well.
