are prepared for school. here's what one mother-in-law told us about the need for her children. >> and i need to -- it's easy for me to get all the stuff and everything for this year i already five months with no job and other stuff, and it's difficult. >> reporter: and back out here live, i want to show you what sacred heart needs, a basic backpack. they're not taking red or blue. any other color than that, and here's the supplies. they want to fill the backpacks with the supplies 3 ring binders, paper, folders, scientific calculators, things like colored pencils, there's erasers and glue sticks, basically anything that

welcome back, time now 7:14. the woman suspected of killing a google executive in santa cruz may also face charges in a

separate death investigation in georgia. >> why do you think there's an overdose? >> because there's nothing else it could be. >> okay. accidental or intentional? >> i think definitely accidental, accidental. >> alex tickleman called 9-1-1 last september in georgia to report that her boyfriend overdosed on heroin. 53-year-old dean riapel died from a mixture of heroin, oxycodone and alcohol. heroin also killed google executive forest hayes on his yacht last november. tickleman is linked to that death. georgia police are reopening their case because of the similarities. >> we're going to go back and look at it and make sure that everything that we determined to be correct almost a year ago is still factual and still accurate. >> the california investigators say tickleman searched online for information on how to legally defend herself after

giving a lethal dose of heroin. tickleman is charged right now with manslaughter in santa cruz. prosecutors may elevate the charge to second degree murder. tickleman and the google executive met through the online dating website seekingarrangement.com, and she told investigators she's a prostitute. that website released a statement saying it does not allow prostitution and that and i'm quoting "we're shock today learn of this tragedy and we would like to convey our deepest sympathies to mr. hayes' family." investigators say it's the latest example of the growing sex industry in silicon valley. last month the fbi shut down a website run by a mountain view man and his girlfriend who were accused of online prostitution and money laundering. police say the sex trade is booming in silicon valley because of the large number of young, highly paid men employed there. and they say the internet

allows anonymous websites to pop up discreetly pairing sex workers with customers. 7:16. deciding whether to designate the surge of central americans illegally entering the u.s. as refugees, is the focus of a high level meeting today in nicaragua. the united nations scheduled today's meeting before the current immigration crisis on the u.s. border. officials from the u.s., mexico and central america are attending. the un high commissioner for refugeed called the meeting to update a 30-year-old declaration on the obligations that nations have to aid refugees. the un is encouraging the u.s. to look at at least some of the central american immigrants as refugees because of the violence in their home countries. meanwhile the u.s. border patrol says it will no longer fly plane loads of immigrants from texas to san diego to be processed. the border patrol says recent antiimmigrant protests had nothing to do with the

glaring it's hard to see. >> you can't really see. it is 7:18. we want to check in with sal. i thought e i heard you say earlier things might be friday light. >> in some areas they are, some commutes are definitely lighter. let's start with highway 24. it has been a nice drive. the drive time there has been very nice from pleasant hill to the caldecott tunnel. we haven't seen a lot of slow traffic. when you get to the bay bridge, there was a backup but things are beginning to get better. 10 to 15 minute drive into san francisco. also looking at 580, just a little bit of slow traffic on westbound 580 through livermore which is one of the bay area's slowest commutes. nothing after dublin. 7:19 let's go to steve. just a great cloud observing for low clouds and even some high and tropical clouds. wonderful information from you folks on twitter and facebook today. a couple rainbows because we've had drizzle.

a market and left the 21-month- old child in his suv with his elderly mother who has dementia. police searched all over for daphne. >> how did she disappear so well. that's what i'm angriest the most about. because it's like no trace of her nowhere, like she just vanished. >> john webb was the only person of interest. he was arrested the day after reporting his daughter missing. then he was released after prosecutors decided not to file charges. he died in may. his family says he committed suicide. it is 7:26. a jewelry store owner fights back for the second time in a year. the risky decision he made after two armed men raided his store. >> and we're live in san francisco where a woman was knocked unconscious after the giants a's game yesterday afternoon. coming up an update from police on her condition and the suspects who were involved. >> good morning right now we are still looking at a commute
