in this case. her parents want to keep the story in the headlines. they want to find her killer. now as we reported last week, the community here in howard beach started a gofundme page to raise reward money. the goal was 100,000. as of today, they have raised more than $245,000. now last week when i was reporting on this story, i told you that police were checking a local database to see if they could find any dna from any known sex offenders area in our database to see if it matched the dna found at the crime scene. they did not find any matches. they went to a national dna database to do the very same thing. as of today, they have not found any matches, which means that whoever killed, raped, murdered karina vetrano, the 30-year-old, two weeks ago tonight, their dna

system yet. again, her parents want to keep this going. they want to be able to find the killer. we're going to be going along this walk with them tonight. it's going to be about a mile. it's going to be starting any moment. ernie: linda, i know that the community has offered a $10,000 reward. from what i understand, the police have done a similar situation. tell us about that. another reward. >> reporter: right. right. the gofundme page is reward. as far as the police department, there's a combination of a reward from the police department and the firefighters union, which is up to $25,000 as well. that would be $100,000 from the family -- from the gofundme page and $25,000 from the cops and the firefighters. and they're hoping that money talks. so far it's been two weeks. they don't have any leads in this case. ernie: let's hope something does develop. thank you for reporting that. we'll continue to cover the story later on this evening. thank you.

headlines. 35-year-old oscar morel, the accused gunman in the double murder of imam and his friend, was in court today. police are charging him with two counts of first-degree murder and weapons possession. the nypd released this photo of the .38 caliber revolver found in his apartment. the brother of one of the victims is seeking justice. >> i need justice this killer -- for the killing. ernie: oscar morel will come back before a judge on thursday. there's no official word on a motive for the crime. the city has agreed to pay the family of akai gurley more than $4 million. gurley was shot and killed by former police officer peter liang in the dark stairwell of the pink houses in 2014. he was sentenced to five years probation, but no jail time.

presidential campaign, but new polls show that donald trump sliding further behind hillary clinton. a new washington post poll shows clinton 14 points ahead of trump among registered voters. virginia, that's a key swing state, and a poll out today shows clinton up nine points in florida. 538.com reported that trump's lagging polls are affecting key senate races which could swing the power over to the democrats. benjamin to talk about this. clinton leads in the polls. trump is still dealing with controversies. how do you see it? where do things stand? >> if we called the election today, hillary would win in a landslide, like reagan mondale. hillary is staying focused on the issues. the e-mail controversy is playing with her.

when you think about where trump is, he was supposed to be at a place where he has shown -- he has transitioned. he was going to show all these great ideas. he had an isis speech which was okay at best. so i think trump has so far to go. i don't know if he has enough time to get there. ernie: he's trying to attract women, millennials and blacks as well. >> with more bad ideas. if you listen to what he's saying, look what he did with the military family. it's beyond the pell. part of his strategy is the more incredible things he says gets him more attention and media and that might help him win. ernie: you've heard the reports. the gop is thinking we'll probably lose the white house. let's concentrate on the key senate races. >> that's right. john mccain is looking vulnerable in arizona. what trump has been saying about

causing huge problems. that's been an issue for him. in maine, kelly ayotte has a tough race. a number of republicans are nervous and they're running from him. the republicans in the house and senate are saying let's focus on the races. super pacs are focused on those races. ernie: could there be a turning point? the debates, for example, could that make a huge difference? by [!esp >> no question. he has done impressive things. if he can show himself to be steady, give good cogent arguments in a steady fashion that makes you feel he has the temperament, it's a game changer. ernie: a lot of people are waiting for the debates. >> they'll be huge. ernie: and whether they will happen. >> they'll happen. trump loves a stage. he will be on that stage. don't worry about that. he'll play around because he wants more media attention.

the question is what does he say in the hour and a half. that will make the difference for his campaign. ernie: got a ways to go. there's a lot that can happen. that's for sure. thanks for joining us. other stories in the news. at least eight people are dead. thousands of homes lost to severe flooding in louisiana. parts of that state have sen up to 25 inches of rain in a 48-hour period. in livingston parish, officials say three-quarters of the homes are a total >> wondering what's left, if anything. everything that i had is gone. ever everything. everything. ernie: while several rivers have crested, there could be more flooding as the water moves downstream. nick is back here. tough times there. and in other parts of the country as well. nick: yeah. that weather system has not abated. it's been sitting over the central coast area for days.

trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects were injection-site pain, fatigue... headache, muscle pain, and chills. ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if you've received any other meningitis b vaccines. meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like... a drink... a spoon... a kiss. it all started here... rumenba.

he sent me a link and said this is something new. didn't know we were doing the story. the problem is if you want to do it with enefit is you don't have to have a google account. you don't have to be using google's other services to use this app. yes, it's one more app on a lot of other apps we have. ernie: this is going to open it up. you'll be able to communicate with people with the android and so forth. the quality of the video >> reporter: that's absolutely true. and also, they have introduced a feature called knock-knock that gives you a preview of the person on the other line. if they have some of your family members with them, you get to see a bit of a preview of what the call is going to be like. ernie: interesting. it's so competitive. this technology thing, google is trying it. it's good for consumers, but at the same time, it gets a little frustrating. we don't know what's coming up

to see what they're doing. it must be so conscientious in silicon valley. but seems like it could be an improvement. there's the hurdle of do people want to get this app. and is it really something they actually need? ernie: they've got the money to try it out. like you said, you'd like to find out what they're doing. it's incredible. we can't imagine what's coming up next. >> reporter: i know. i remember being in school and thinking this could never happen. video conferencing te ernie: unbelievable. i'll try to face time you. thank you. coming up, you hit the streets to see if you notice a difference between suv and sedan drivers. stay with me.

ernie: what do you think? do you think suv and sedan owners drive differently? >> i think suv drivers, they're a little bit more -- a little more cocky than, you know, on the road driver just simply because they're in a bigger vehicle and they can push people around. >> i have to say that the driver of an suv, i think definitely takes more aggression on the road and more confidence. absolutely. behind the wheel. definitely. ernie: you see that on the road? >> yes, i do. i do. i do. definitely. ernie: what do you think? >> i'm probably on the fence. i feel sedans kind of zip. they bob and weave out of traffic. i feel suv's, you have your kids

ernie: more careful with it. how about you? what difference do you see? suv and sedan drivers? >> suv is a little more crazy. they're all over the road a little more. but then again everyone is today. they're crazy drivers. people aren't careful with what they do. ernie: you feel intimidated a bit? >> i feel intimidated. of course. ernie: because they're big and they kind of take up more space? >> yes. absolutely. ernie: do you think they drive differently? a different mentality? >> i think there's mentality. there's a powerful mentality when it comes to driving an suv. ernie: thank you. nice to see you. take care. bye! and that's it for now. i thank you very much for joining us. i'm ernie anastos. for all of us in studio 5 and our great control room up there, thank you for being a part of the broadcast. have a great night. we'll see you tomorrow. nico, you're back.
