well known transportation planner was shot and killed in their alexandria home less than a mile from ruthanne lodato in their home for less an mysterious circumstances. she hopes that answers may help her. was the suspect mentally deranged and why did he choose ron kirby, and that is answers she needs as profound as her love. >> it has profound consequences to our lives. i will never be able to -- i don't think that i can live without ron. >> reporter: such terrible pain and pain that is now being felt by the family of ruthanne lodato. live in alexandria, jackie bensen. >> the family of lodato has

>> and alexandria residents are also wondering privately and out loud if there is a connection between her murder and two other high profile killings. nancy dunning the wife of a former sheriff a decade ago, and ron kirby, who is the well known transportation planner who was shot a year ago. the similarities hit dunning's niece. >> there is so many similarities to the types of people that they were and the time of day, and just kind of the suddenness of it, and the no motive as to why this is happening. so i think that you can't help but think that something is connected here. it is unnerving. >> reporter: kate moran says that the latest killing brings back the fear and sorrow that she once felt, and now fears of the lodato family. >> i can't speak to their pain, but knowing what our family has gone through, but any of the murders that have happened, it

when the weather gets cold, yeah, that's when it gets tough for the pavement. shhhh, just off in the distance, the road gets very quiet. take a listen and judge for yourself quiet pavement, regular pavement, quiet pavement, regular pavement. one more time, quiet pavement. regular pavement. the difference in the noise level is remarkable, and the reason why the quiet pavement is so quiet, it's made of different materials and more porous. it absorbs the sound instead of kicking it back. sounds great, right? you want peace and quiet in the car? >> all the time. >> reporter: you got enough going on in your own world, home life, work, you want quiet in the car? >> exactly. >> reporter: it turns out this

pavement has trouble in the very cold weather, specifically v dot said it had to sand the quiet pavement much more this winter compared to regular pavement because water can get in the crac cracks and freeze easier. one had to be treated so aggressively this winter, the current plan is to take it out. >> i'm for fiscally conservative so i want to go with thing that's last longer and economically feasible. >> reporter: this pavement isn't wide-spread in northern virginia, just along a few short sections. v dot says it performs well when it just rains because water washes away. back here now live along the fairfax county parkway. v dot says this is a part of a real world test to see where the pavement works and where it doesn't. reporting live, adam tuss, news 4. my three favorite words you said earlier this week were no

big deal. no big deal. >> that's three words and that's exactly what it is. we won't see a big deal. if you have plans this weekend, everybody is asking about snow. it's not going to be a big deal. those three wards again wendy are. >> no big deal. >> let's look at it. tonight, beautiful. if you have any plans tonight, it's going to be on the chilly side but rather nice across the region after a pretty nice day. high temperatures in the low 40s and right now sitting at 41. a little on the chilly side but again, not bad, 37 around 7:00, 35 at 9:00 and going to 32 around 11:00. it will be cold, of course, you need the coat but we're in the winter months after all. radar showing we're clear across the region. that's not the case if you move towards the south and west and that's where the next storm system is copping from places like dallas and arkansas, once again, dealing with snow, they had just as many of these little systems as we have and they have a hard time dealing with these.

we'll see pictures tomorrow, once again around memphis and little rock out of problems on the road ways and that same storm system is moving our way, however, we should not have problems as the roads will be treated. chilly temperatures tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon. this somewhat will happen as we move through the time period here as we do so, look at the snow developing across the entire area around 2:00 and this is going to be on the light side. wouldn't be surprised to see it come down moderately at times but once again, not a big deal at all and by 7:00 it's out of the entire region. saturday night into sunday, clear, chilly conditions on sunday. and then on sunday afternoon, we see another bach that cops through the region during the day. snow showers off and on on sunday. all and all this is not going to be a big deal. how much snow? martins burg 34 and frederick around low 30s, maybe a dusting to an inch during the day tomorrow.

same thing for your folks toward northern virginia and frederi s fredericksbu fredericksburg, a dusting to an inch tomorrow. another chance of that snow on sunday as we mentioned. monday yet another chance for some light snow with a high of 38 but of the three days, this is all three days, this is what you can expect. the coating to maybe two inches at the most and around an inch down toward the south and east. so as we said at the beginning of this little weather cast, no big deal. right now wednesday, thursday, friday, could be a bigger deal but we're still way away from this system, and we still do not have a handle on what this will bring. right now it looks like a chance of rain and snow and temperatures in the cooler side right on through the next seven days. got another run of the caps used to playing hockey at the highest level whose really

pumped because he's getting ready to go to sochi. >> can you imagine getting the call to say pack, you're going. i can't imagine packing up and coming to work on a is the. >> it won't be a problem. >> this is a dream come true. this is a first. from insult to injury to the olympics. he did not make the initial cut. he joins niklas backstrom on team sweden. alex ovechkin for russia and martin for czech republic. you get a point for a goal or an assist in hockey so johonson and he didn't have the travel plans finalized but did have a sense

defensively i think we dialled in a lot more, and, you know, going over the scouting report well and just keening in on certain guys in the conference we know can affect the game. >> we learned that losing stinks, and it hurts, and what we had to go through is a complete metamorphosis, an alteration of how we do things. this group has a groove, i would say, on how we have to play to win games. >> two words, losing stinks. to college park, turps getting ready. they hope to

>> two years back we went to vietnam see what was going on 20 years after the fall of saig saigon. we made our way south. along the way, we found ourselves accommodated in ways far different than that to which we were accustomed. sometimes no hot water, now and again no water at all, no such thing as a face towel, uncomfortable bedding, bugs that don't have names and the list goes on and on. it was different, and it didn't matter, because something less than four-star accommodations was not why we were there. it was not these story, not even was it a story. that comes to mind when i read and hear reports from sochi. lots of comments, lots of complaints, forgive me, lots of whining about how poorly the media is being treated. we hear of rooms not being available, the lack of shower

curtains, we hear of construction noises, all kinds of stuff, all kinds of stuff that i'm thinking nobody really cares about. from what i gather the athletes in the village are doing just fine that i care about, that they are comfortable. that they are well-fed and well-housed, that they are secure and free to focus on their performance. all that is what i care about. alex ovechkin, the cap star, the russian is wondering out loud why are all these people dumping on sochi? is this the first olympic venue to be not quite ready for prime time? to be fair, many of the early dispatchers bore the stains of western eliters and privilege because reporters just got there. they really had nothing else to write about. while i'm at it, props to our man in sochi who has found plenty to report on other than whether he gets chocolate on his

pillow every night. now with opening ceremonies tonight, let's hope we can focus on the competition, not on the accommodation. let the games begin. we thank you for joining us. nightly news is coming up next followed by the opening ceremonies of the winter olympics at 7:30. you don't want to miss that snow flake. >> yeah. >> we leave you with live pictures from sochi seaport. see you again tonight at 11:00.

on our broadcast tonight, the spectacular show as they get under way here in sochi. russia raises the curtain in a dazzling display, and in keeping with expectations there is already a controversy having nothing to do with competition. also, a bomb scare, a would-be hijacker demands the

pilots divert to sochi. and who did ? who leaked private conversations between u.s. diplomats, complete with profanity. it is a big embarrassment. some big allies are angry, and washington has shifted into damage control. and one moment in time. the american athletes who did not get to compete the last time the games came to russia because the president kept the u.s. team home. tonight, the scars that are still visible. nightly news begins now. good evening, there was more tension leading up to these olympic winter games than any such gathering in memory. they are, after all, the most expensive and the mos
