what a heartbreaker. the redskins show up. they actually score touchdowns, they still fail, or rather, fall to the cowboys in overtime. fail to, i guess. i'm aaron gilchrist. we'll get to the skins sto s st just a moment. but first, a murder suspect mistakenly released because of clerical order. darcy spencer is live wi the late ossen this. darcy? >> reporter: aaron, i was able to look up this suspect's information through online court documents. it shows right here that this suspect was released on november 10th on a $75,000 bond. then go down here, november 18th, just last friday, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. an investigation is underway to see how, in fact, this clerical error could have happened. but right now police are focusing on getting him back in custody. prince george's county police are on the hunt for this man, 24-year-old frederick lawrence

scott of maryland. he was being held on a first-degree murder charge at the prince george's county detention center in connection with a homicide last march. he was mistakenly released ten days ago on november 10th after posting a $75,000 bond. scott was supposed to be held without bond. authorities are describing the mistake as a clerical error on court records, indicating that his bond had been set at $75,000. >> we're, you know, using you guys as far as the media and the public goes, to put his picture out there, hoping maybe he sees us and has a conscious to realize that there was an error and bring himself back in. and also, maybe if the public can help us locate him. >> reporter: scott is accused in the death of phillip watson in southeast washington. the early morning shooting happened outside the surf club live on kennelworth avenue in edmonton. scott was arrested two months after the shooting in las vegas and was held without bond until his mistaken release nearly two weeks ago. a bench warrant has been issued

for his arrest. >> it's certainly a concern to the department, that we had an individual locked up for committing a murder and he's back out on the street. so we're trying to work with the court system to find out where the error may have occurred. >> reporter: i just received a statement from the state's attorney office here in prince george's county. i'll have to read this right here. it says, "our office is actively investigating the circumstances of this matter and is fully engaged with our law enforcement partners." as you heard in the piece, prince george's county police are hoping that this defendant will find out that law enforcement is looking for him and turn himself in. in the meantime, police are actively looking for him and hoping if anybody knows where he is, will give them a call. reporting live from palmer park, darcy spencer, news 4. aaron, back to you. >> all right, darcy. thank you. well, it wasn't the outcome we wanted, but the skins did actually put up a fight this afternoon. and even though they're now on a historic losing streak, we saw

rivalry out on the football field today. dan the hellie joins us live if fedex field. and there were some high points there, dan. >> reporter: aaron, there really were. these were different from some of the other losses. took a good team to overtime, had the chance to win a game, and they led a game for the first time since october 2nd. but in the end, it was a three-point loss to their hated rival, the dallas cowboys, and now that losing streak at six straight games for your washington redskins. when the skins and the cowboys get together, they have been close games. six out of the last seven have been decided by six points or less. today, another barn burner. in the fourth quarter, we're tied at 17, third and eight for tony romo. he finds his tight end, jason witten, somehow, jason witten is wide open and beats everybody to the end zone. 59 yards for the touchdown. cowboys up 24-17. same score with 22 seconds to go, third and goal for the

skins. how about that? rex grossman to donte stallworth for the touchdown. so the redskins will win thes to and graham gano has a 52-yard field goal attempt for the win. not good. wide right, cowboys take over. dallas with their turn for a game-winning field goal from 39 yards out. dan bailey, perfect in this game. two for two, the rookie puts it through. the cowboys defeat the redskins, 27-24. it's the first time washington has lost six straight since 1998. >> i was pleased with the effort. i thought we played extremely hard. i thought we kept our poise and just disappointed we didn't get the job done. you know, you've got to go back and say, hey, everybody lease got to look at themselves day by day and keep on working on the little things. if you do that, you've got a chance to win a football game. that's what happened there. we had our opportunities and just one play here or there

dictates the outcome. >> all right, coming up, we'll hear from deangelo hall. he says somebody should be cut after the game. that's coming up in 15 minutes. >> thanks, dan, see you in a bit. >> down to the wire now, the deficit super committee running out of time and the outcome is not looking good. the bipartisan committee was created to come up with a plan to cut the national debt by $1.2 trillion. the deadline to create that plan is tomorrow. today congressmen hit the morning talk shows, playing the blame game. the sticking point here, taxes. >> and you can't grow if you raise taxes in the middle of a recession. that's what president obama said when unemployment was at 9% a few months ago. he said, don't raise taxes in a recession. and he's right. >> we could wind up with a major initiative that would create jobs and do our country well, avoid the sequester, show that america works, if they will just back off, insisting that the bush tax cuts be extended now. >> the committee is supposed to

announce a plan by tomorrow and have it approved by wednesday. failure would trigger across-the-board cuts to the pentagon and various domestic programs, starting in 2013. with so much riding on the super committee's work, several dozen people held a vigil at lafayette park this afternoon. their message to the super committee, the poor shouldn't be burdened with reducing the national debt. demonstrators are calling on the congressmen to preserve funding for programs that help at-risk families and children in the u.s. similar demonstrations were held across the country today. the movement was spearheaded by a coalition of religious organizations. another staff shake up for d.c. mayor vincent gray. tomorrow he's expected to name a new press secretary and deputy chief of staff. it is the latest effort to settle down his troubled administration, which has been rocked with staff controversies, almost since he took office last january. there is an ongoing federal criminal investigation into grey's 2010 campaign, and allegations of cash payments and offers of government jobs at the

a damsel in distress turns out to be a carjacker in disguise. this happened at tyson's galleria yesterday afternoon. her victim was not hurt, but police want your help solving this crime. news 4's derrick ward has more on the woman and the car police are looking for. >> reporter: police say it started in the parking lot at tyson's galleria on saturday afternoon. the shopper identified only as a 59-year-old woman was approached in the parking lot of neiman marcus by another woman who said she needed help, that her car had run out of gas. the shopper bought the hard-luck story and offered the woman a ride to a gas station. >> the victim felt comfortable with the person who ended up being a suspect and didn't see anything unusual about her, did not appear to be distraught or under the influence of any type of substance. >> reporter: but when they approached the intersection of old courthouse road and route 123, the woman who'd asked for a ride pull out a knife and demanded the good samaritan gave up her car. she complied and got out near

the intersection. >> she contacted police immediately. we had the lookouts out immediately and tried to apprehend the suspect and find the vehicle. >> reporter: unfortunately, the suspect got away in the victim's silver 2003 acura, similar to this one, adding some truth to that old saying that no good deed goes unpunished. not left on other shoppers prone to kindness toward their fellow man or woman. >> it's very difficult to do that, isn't it? my first instinct is always to help someone. >> reporter: police continue looking for the 2003 acura with virginia tags xek-8095. now, it's just the reality that as we get closer to the holiday shopping season, more and more incidents like this start to happen. fairfax county police will be holding an online chat on monday to deal with security issues while shopping in cyberspace and in real space. in tyson's corner, derrick ward, news 4. >> and that chat is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. you can find it at

investigators say a tossed cigarette started that fire. a debate on whether to let girls be altar server at the catholic church came to a head in arlington today. people stood in protest o upsut the diocese office this afternoon. they're offended by a rule to let boys only serve. the arlington diocese first allowed girls in 2006, but left the final decision up to individual churches. the pastor at corpus christi said he made the boys' only decision in opens of grooming more of them for the priesthood. >> if the bishop would show leadership, that would help, in urging each parish to have altar girls. >> about half the churches in the diocese of arlington allow girls to serve at the altar. some people have decided to the leave their church and go to another one if their girls are not allowed to serve. thanksgiving came a little early for our troops in baghdad this year. soldiers at camp victory sat down for a holiday lunch today,

because many of them will actually be home to celebrate thanksgiving with their families this year. 33,000 american troops are still in iraq. the government says all of them should be home by the end of the year. many troops are expected to head home this week. that is good news right there. >> it is that. always get to come home and pig out, if you will. >> that's right. >> with your family. >> who could beat -- you know, day got to spend an early thanksgiving with their family over there and then more important, they get to spend thanksgiving with their actual families right here in the u.s. of a.. >> so we know that some rain is coming and we're hoping it's gone by then, but for now the issue. >> clouds. a lot of clouds. many clouds. many days of clouds coming our way. they're already here. the raindrops are already starting to show up on the radar, and it may be a long stretch before we see anything in the way of sunshine around here. outside, today, along the national mall, it was warm enough for volley ball, if you can believe that. well, it was -- it really just depends on your threshold for

warmth, i think, aaron, but these guys thought it was warm enough for a little outdoor volleyball there. maybe a little too cool to play volleyball with your shirt off. that, i'll give you. but nonetheless, a very mild day out there. temperatures made it well up into the 60s. even right now with the clouds and a little bit of light rain coming down, it's still 64 degrees at national airport. our average high temperature this time of the year, only in the upper 50s. this is mild stuff, courtesy of a southwest breeze at 8 miles per hour. temperatures mild all across the the area. 62 now in honey town and camp springs, 61 in college park and rockville and bethesda, all around the 60-degree mark. and west virginia and the shenandoah valley, temperatures are on the mild side. 58, winchester. 65 down in charlottesville, virginia. here's the radar. there are raindrops now, mainly along and to the north of interstate 66 and route 50. now, montgomery county, howard county, frederick county, maryland, all getting light

rain. i'll put this into motion. here you can see that general easterly slide to the rain showers. there's more where that came from, though. heavier showers now across parts of northern west virginia. most of this rain is going to go into northern maryland and southern pennsylvania, but still, it will be wet by the time you get your monday morning started. be ready for that. clouds have been in place all day long, as they continue to lower and thicken and bring the raindrops in. rain showers will continue to develop through the overnight hours tonight. as this weather front sort of lays down right across the mid-atlantic, that means almost all cloud cover, all the time for monday, tuesday, and wednesday. not much in the way of sunshine. the next time you see the sun, you might be eating turkey here in washington. as cloudy skies are going to be the rule, not the exception. cloudy and mild this evening. rain filling in, very, very quickly. temperatures this evening in the upper 50s and low 60s. get your monday started. it will be a wet morning commute to work and school. wake-up temperatures in the low 50s. then, tomorrow, cloudy, wet, off and on showers, a little bit

cooler than today, but still relatively mild by november standards. and there's our extended forecast. rainy weather, showery weather monday, tuesday, wednesday. we should be able to blow it all out of here, just in time for thanksgiving dinner on thursday afternoon. and then staying mild and dry on into the most important shopping weekend of the year. or, well, the second most important, right? the one right before christmas, usually -- either way. >> you've got that front yard football on thursday, so you've got to have -- >> sunshine comes back with the gravy. we like that. thank you, chuck. there was a little bit of a celebration in china. it might have some folks seeing double too. more than 100 pairs of twins gathered for a twin festival. the event was a meet and greet and included awards for the most photogenic twins and the most talented. coming up in sports, while the redskins continue to experience the agony of defeat for the cowboys, it's pure relief.

so we thought, how about them skins for a little while. >> we were excited and then just let down and just depressing. that's a heartbreaker, aaron. >> really was. >> tough. just when it looked like the redskins were about to take a step forward, they kicked themselves backwards. washington lost its sixth consecutive game, but not without a little drama. the redskins rallied to force overtime, but ultimately the cowboys booed the burgundy and

gold, winning the series. we're at fedex field, cowboys and redskins meeting for the 104 time. we pick it up after the third quarter. tony romo back to pass with time throws to des bryant. and he's in for the futouchdown. see it again. cowboys take a quick 7-0 lead. second quarter, redskins down 10-0, but they have it on third and goal and rex grossman makes a play. keeps himself, dives in for a touchdown. the redskins' first touchdown in the first half since week four. grossman pumped. 20 seconds to go in the half. on third and sixth, rex makes another play. perfect pass to his former florida teammate, ja var gaffney. he had 116 yards receiving. washington's first lead in a game. up 14-10 at halftime. nice handshake. i like that. fourth quarter, cowboys trail 17-10 on third and goal. romo scrambles.

tosses it to robinson. defensive coordinator jim haslett, not happy. wouldn't be happy about this either. later, romo and the cowboys convert on third down. spins under pressure, heaves it up to a wide open jason witten. look at all the redskins in the area, but not tackling. 59-yard scorie inine ining stri 49-17 dallas. gets hit as he throws and intercepted. it looked over at that point. but not so fast. rex and the redskins get another chance. 22 seconds to go, grossman up to donte stallworth, makes the catch, gets both feet down, huge play by stalwart. grossman threw for 182 yards and two touchdowns. graham gano for a 52-yard field goal. he hit a 59-yarder two weeks ago, missed one earlier inta today's game and misses another one. are you kidding me?

ouch. so dallas drives down the field and dan bailey has a chance to kick the game winner. and dan bailey kicks the game winner. from 39 yards out, it's up and good, barely. after all that, the cowboys beat the redskins, 27-24 in overtime. the cowboys have won three in a row. for more on today's game, we go live to fedex field to join dan hellie. hey, dan. >> gano said after the game when asked what happened with that kick, he said, i just missed it. didn't feel any pressure or nerves, just didn't hit it as well as i normally do. the redskins office actually played well from the first quarter on. they were nearly invisible in the first quarter. the second highest point total of the season. and they got in the end zone three times. when was the last time we said that about the redskins? there definitely was a different feel in this locker room after this game, especially from the

offense. >> you play for those moments, you know? and it's really disappointing. we didn't get a victory, but you know, i enjoyed myself. you know, being in that redskins/cowboys rivalry game, fighting with my teammates, the support from the fans, it's extremely disappointing and we've gone on a losing streak. playing endless rivalry, it is the best in uniform. so i'm extremely, extremely disappointed we didn't get the victory. >> we're absolutely going to continue to fight. we want to fight and win, you know? it's one thing to fight, but another thing to fight and win. and i feel like, eventually, because of the character, it's going to happen for us and we're going to make more plays, we're going to make, you know, more plays to win these games.

>> many times the offense puts points on the board like that, we've got to win the game. we've got to win the game. you know it's frustrating, but i can't point my finger at anybody but myself. the way i'm playing right now, they need to go cut me. because i'm definitely not worth what i'm, you know, what i'm getting. so, you know, it's frustrating. it's frustrating. hopefully they see something in me that they bring me back next year. but the way things are going right now, i'm definitely not playing up to par. >> strong words from deangelo hall. he fell down on that play in over time that allowed des bryant to make that catch, which eventually set up the game-winning field goal for the cowboys. i don't think he's going to be cut anytime soon, but he took this one hard. >> yeah, dan, it's nice to see at least a few of the players taking some accountability on a loss like this. but that's tough to lose 27-24 on overtime. look forward to seeing you tonight. >> all right. >> quick notes, maryland loses to iona in basketball, and the

maryland women's field hockey teams wins the national championship, beating unc in overtime. their fifth title in seven years. >> see you back here after the game tonight.

no deal. hours from the deadline, has the congressional super committee struck out? tonight what the stalemate could mean for medicare, social security and the
