once you go downhill it's henot that bad. >> reporter: walking, bussing, it will all be tricky unless you just don't go. >> i heard it will be a gigantic mess so we're staying far away. >> reporter: you see from sky force 10 there's a lot of traffic on the bridge. how weird will it be to see no traffic except humans on this bridge. here's the thing. i want to show you, you can see it's a steady climb uphill. that's why a lot of people exercise here. if you look this way, you can see it's not too, too steep. you should be okay if you drink a lot of water. hopefully the weather cooperates, you give yourself plenty of time and wear smart shoes. the shoes i wore today, not a very good choice. i'm not very comfortable. that's okay, i'm going back to the truck. live on the ben franklin bridge tim furlong, nbc 10 news. public school students in philadelphia could get another day off because of the world

new at 6:00 a major development in the case of a boy who disappeared almost 25 years ago. police in cape may county today

got a chance to reinterview a key witness in the mark himebaugh cold case and the man provided new potentially crucial information. police had trouble tracking down daniel coles until he spoke exclusively with nbc 10 this week. he says thomas butcavage, a person of interest in the disappearance, revealed new information about a campground near the boy's home. this is an nbc 10 exclusive. >> reporter: he is the man detectives were anxious to talk with. >> you have been looking for me. >> reporter: only nbc 10 was there when he showed up at the middle township police station for a new interview on what he says he knows about the 1991 disappearance of 11-year-old mark himebaugh from his neighborhood. >> i have been wanting to come down here for a long time. >> reporter: now is the right time? >> this is the right time.

>> reporter: he went to the cops two days after he we aired this exclusive interview with him. >> i remember looking at this little boy's face and just the look on his eyes. >> reporter: the former prostitute spoke publicly for the first time this week about seeing a pornographic video in 1993 of a boy being sexually assaulted. a boy he's convinced was himebaugh. >> i've been haunted by the eyes all my life. >> reporter: he says a repeat client thomas butcavage showed him the video, confirmed the boy was himebaugh and confessed to disposing of him along with several other kids. he went to police the next day and butcavage quickly became a person of interest. he revealed information he says he never shared with investigators before. during a prior encounter, he says he was told that he had stayed previously at this campground in middle township. i checked and the campground is

less than two miles from mark himebaugh's neighborhood. what will you do with any new information he might give you? >> we might conduct additional interviews, we might visit businesses in the area. i'm very happy that he came down. we have been trying to get in touch with him. it's been a little challenging. thanks to your coverage we were able to make contact with him. >> reporter: new clues investigators hope could finally lead to the missing pieces of a puzzle nearly a quarter century old. ted greenberg, nbc 10 news. >> he denied any involvement and was never charged in the himebaugh case but later admitted to sex crimes involving other boys. he remains in prison and is still considered a person of interest. something in a lake that you see here could be making young campers sick. several ymca camps are held on lake stockwell in medford lakes, burlington county. at least half a dozen campers have come down with a stomach bug since sunday. for now the kids are being kept away so officials can test for bacteria in the water.

they expect results by tomorrow. now your nbc 10 first alert weather with meteorologist sheena parveen. >> a comfortable day today. temperatures cooler than yesterday, humidity down but now we are tracking some rain moving in. not for everybody, but some of you already seeing some light showers and more overnight tonight. for tomorrow most of the rain will stay south of philadelphia best rain chances will be new jersey and delaware as a big area of low pressure passes by. into the weekend, so far it looks like clearing will be taking place, maybe a little earlier saturday than we thought yesterday. right now it's 78 in allentown. 77 pottstown and west chester. 84 degrees in philadelphia. 79 wilmington. 80 degrees glassboro and millville. so it does feel very comfortable, especially with the low humidity. live look at satellite and radar. the clouds have increased, we are seeing just about overcast skies and a few showers have already managed to move in. these are mostly very light rain showers right across 76 through

parts of lancaster county near west chester, maybe some very light showers or just some sprinkles. but overnight, i think we will see a few more rain showers move in. the models are trying to he show those to be on the heavy side. big area of low pressure is still far away from us. you see all the rain ahead of it. this is mostly going to be staying to the south. again, parts of the area will have a better rain chance than other areas. here's future weather. for the next few hours, clouds keep increasing. by 11:00, the models have been pretty consistent with showing more rain moving in more than what we have now. possibly philadelphia areas, south jersey and delaware then overnight through the early morning hours, some scattered showers through new jersey and delaware. early tomorrow morning, we could still see some rain along parts of delaware mostly southern delaware and possibly in new jersey closer to the shore. that will be the better rain chance. here's a bigger picture. future weather showing the area of low pressure off to the south and west gets closer late tonight and into friday.

that area of low pressure is expected to stay south of us which will put the best rain chances south of philadelphia. for new jersey and delaware, through tonight and into the day tomorrow, you have the best chance for showers, especially along the shore and delaware beaches. saturday morning, the low will be right offshore but the models have improved a bit. they agreed a little more today with pushing the low a little farther offshore for saturday morning which means more clearing closer to the shore and delaware beaches. for sunday that low moves away and we see improving conditions. along the jersey shore, if you're starting off your weekend tomorrow, we will see clouds and the better chance of scattered showers. saturday we start to see things drying out but it will be a windy day and by sunday nice conditions. that will be the warmer day of the weekend. tonight, more clouds with late lane rain developing mostly south of philadelphia. temperatures upper 50s north and west upper 60s around philadelphia. tomorrow, showers, mostly new jersey and delaware, drier farther north and west.

temperatures staying in the low 80s over the weekend. mid 80s, more sunshine sunday. we stay in the 80s over the next seven days. it's very comfortable out here at eagles camp. coming up, we will hear from sam bradford on how his knee is holding up. why did two eagles miss practice today?

i'm john clark live from the novacare complex. two key birds, two new eagles sat out practice today. demarco murray is sick and

linebacker kiko alonso suffered a concussion at eagles practice on tuesday. take a look at sam bradford. he says his knee feels great after the four practices he's been through so far. he says he does not favor it at all when he throws the ball so that is great news. sam of course coming off two surgeries over the last two years. by the way, he is very impressed by all the talent on this team. >> from top to bottom, this is probably the deepest team i have ever been on. you look at what we've got outside, what we've got at the tight end position what we've got in the running back room i mean it's four five, three, four deep at each position. i think that just plays into our advantage, especially with the tempo we play as many plays as we run. we can sub guys in and we don't miss a beat. >> want to see sam play in the first preseason game ten days from now? we are the official eagles television station. all four preseason games will be on here starting sunday august 16th against the colts.

we have pre and post game shows as well. take a look at redskins camp. desean jackson got hurt today. he was making a touchdown catch and landed on or near a blocking sled. he bruised or separated his shoulder. he will miss a week or two. how about the phillies facing dodgers star zack greinke today. over his last nine starts greinke had given up a total of six runs. today, the phillies tag him with six runs. let's take a look at citizens bank park this afternoon. jimmy rollins getting a standing ovation for the third straight day. j. roll said he was surprised it kept on going. phillies down 3-0 after a half inning against greinke. game over right? wrong. domonic brown, three run shot and the phillies are up 5-3. in the second adrian gonzalez answers for the dodgers. three run shot of his own. the dodgers up 6-5. then zack greinke at the plate in the third going yard. look at this. he flipped his bat. can you believe that?

zack greinke gave up six runs to the phillies but the dodgers still win 10-8. so the phillies are going out to san diego. chase utley will join them and come off the l.d.d.l. we'll be right back.
