women. a glimpse of jesse matthew walking through the albemarle county courthouse to enter a guilty plea, accepting responsibility for two brutal abductions and murders. you have seen their faces, know the painful fates they met. first morgan harrington, a virginia tech student in charlottesville for a concert in 2009. she vanished. her remains found a few months later. her mom and dad both here today. >> no one gave up. >> reporter: jill harrington thankful for the determination that led police to matthew. >> for 6 1/2 years you all were determined and resolute to find the top tier predator that hunted in this community. >> reporter: standing next to the harringtons, perhaps the few parents who know their pain, john and sue graham. >> we miss her every day and know that many others do too. >> reporter: september 2014, uva second-year hannah graham dipp

found her remains. her family always knew she'd change the world. this just wasn't the way they'd hoped. >> but hannah's enduring gift is she enabled this wicked man to be apprehended and convicted. she did change the world, but at a terrible price. >> reporter: matthew's family filled two rows in the courtroom. >> we want to express to the harrington family and the graham family our sorrow on their family member and what jesse matthew chose to do to your daughters. >> reporter: matthew had the opportunity to say something in court but decided not to. instead his attorney apologized on his behalf. coming up on news4 at 6:00, what led up to this plea agreement, what both sides had to agree upon before of it became a reality today. reporting live tonight in

a few minutes of being outside to know this is not monday when we were flirting with those high 60s. >> yeah. doug, you're tracking a system that could see bringing us snow? >> kind of going from spring to winter. that's kind of what we're doing here. that's what the month of march really is, the battle of the seasons. just yesterday some areas were 70 degrees. today we are so much cooler across our area. let's take a look at these numbers right now. 40 degrees in d.c. 34 in hagertown. 49 in pittsburgh. look at the windchill around our region. the windchill in gaithersburg, 23. 23 in martinsburg. 31 in culpeper. back towards manassas at 26 degrees. so it is freezing out there and we have those temperatures, rather wind chills, that are 30 to 40 degrees colder than where we were yesterday. a cold night in store for sure. we have snow coming in tomorrow morning. i'll have more foru

friday morning rush problems. we'll talk much more about this and see you in about 10 to 15 minutes. decision 2016 is moving forward with one less candidate. this afternoon dr. ben carson announced there's no path forward for him to win. he didn't win a single state on super tuesday as the front-runners in each party dominated the night. donald trump and hillary clinton each won seven states, but the other campaigns are pushing ahead with all but trump holding rallies this afternoon and tonight. we're also keeping an eye on an interesting trend involving voter turnout to see if it's going to continue. with the exception of vermont, every republican primary or caucus has seen record turnout. look at virginia where more than a million voters cast ballots in the republican primary. that shattered the record set 16 years ago when a little more than 650,000 people voted. so virginia republican leaders are celebrating that record-setting primary. donald trump narrowly won the commonwealth over marco rubio

gop voters. our bureau chief julie carey takes a look at what that could mean come november. >> reporter: virginia's gop primary voters didn't produce a clear winner, but their record turnout may be good news for the eventual nominee. >> what it indicates is that we're looking really good for a win in november. >> reporter: that's republican party of virginia chairman john whitbeck. here are the numbers that have him so encouraged. the 2000 primary was the last high water mark for republicans with more than 650,000 votes cast. democrats shattered that in 2008 when they backed barack obama's candidacy, but tuesday republicans set a new record. more than 1 million primary votes cast. >> what we were able to do when the party -- we have all these different candidates fighting each other, what we were able to do is just fantastic, and if we unify, i feel great about november. >> reporter: democrats have a somewhat different spin on the gop turnout. they say voters in the party out of power are always more motivated to cast

democratic party chairman also believes donald trump's candidacy drove up the numbers but not necessarily in a positive way. >> i think there's just a widespread notion that people want to stop donald trump. you know, there are a lot of people that are worried about him, and so a lot of people voted for anybody but trump. >> reporter: the northern virginia suburbs, of course, key to any presidential candidates' general election win. coming up on news4 at 6:00, a closer look at the rubio/terrorirubio/trump divide and whether that could be trouble for the gop come november. >> thanks, julie. there's still a lot of votes to be counted this week when voters in five states will have their say. on saturday there will be primaries and caucuses in louisiana, kansas, maine, and kentucky, and then the next day democrats will caucus in nebraska. next tuesday also a very big day as mississippi and michigan hold primaries for both parties. republicans will also caucus in ha

primary out in iowa. but it's that following tuesday, march 15th so when the field will become much clearer. the delegates from florida, illinois, missouri, north carolina, and, of course, ohio are up for grabs, and florida and ohio are winner-take-all. we've been asking this question on social media, is it time to consider clinton and trump as their parties' nominees? you can keep voting on our facebook page and we'll have more results in our next hour. an honor guard team performed a dignified transfer today for prince william county officer ashley guindon. a plane brought her body from manassas to barnes airfield in westfield, massachusetts. there will be a funeral monday before guindon is laid to rest later that day. guindon was shot and killed during her first shift as a police officer. before becoming that police officer, she served as a radio field operator in the marines. a troubling allegation

new lawsuit in the prince george's county school system's child pornography case. the lawsuit says a child told a teacher of the abuse, but the teacher told the child, quote, i don't believe you. news4's mark segraves has been talking to experts about the questions these allegations now raise. he joins us from outside judge sylvia woods elementary. >> reporter: this is about mandatory reporting. a legal requirement that professionals like zoschool teachers and coaches report any suspected abuse whether or not they believe it's true. >> it's kind of our first line of defense against child abuse, a way to keep kids safe. >> reporter: deonte carraway faces multiple federal charges for sexually assaulting and photographing students at woods elementary school where he was a volunteer. there had been allegations that school administrators may have failed to take acon when first learning of possible abuse at the school, but this is the first time

accused of ignoring a child's account of being abused. the latest lawsuit filed against the prince george's county public schools alleges a 9-year-old boy who says he was assaulted and photographed by carraway told a teacher about it and that teacher told the student she didn't believe him. lisa jordan advocates on behalf of victims of sexual abuse. >> this is a case where a child is saying, someone tried to use me to create child pornography. that teacher should have reported. >> reporter: prince george's county public schools cdeclined to comment but say they have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to abuse reporting. >> i am just horrified and outraged that a teacher would fail to report. our first step is to make sure the school board knows about those cases. >> reporter: now, we asked princer

status is of the fourth grade teacher who is named in this lawsuit and they declined to comment on that. coming up at 6:00, why this teacher won't face any criminal charges here in maryland for not reporting and what advocates say is a gap in maryland law that puts students at risk. chris, back to you in the studio. >> thanks, mark. we're going to stay in maryland where a man is under arrest accused of shooting his older brother. police arrested james frederick after they und his older brother with gunshot wounds at montgomery college's campus in rockville. the victim had flagged down a car which brought him there. they got into an argument earlier in the day and that's what the shooting stemmed from. spring may start on march 20th but here in our area we have another way of telling whether it's arrived, the cherry blossoms. today the national park service announced its prediction for peak bloom. they're estimating it to fall between march 31st and april 3rd. still ahead, news4's tom sherwood will have new details about th

>> reporter: where is the body of virginia gray? i don't know for sure, but i found some new evidence today. i'll have it for you coming up. news4. and i'm scott macfarlane. our news4 i-team investigation, fire in the operating room. local hospital patients who said they caught fire while undergoing surgery. one was even awake when it happened. the i-team actually found it happening hundreds of times each year the government estimates. hear their stories of recovery and what they want you to know about the risk of surgical fires. want to get paid to hack the pentagon? >> i still have a lot of friends that work there. i wouldn't want that job, but this security breach the government actually wants to happen ahead

this evening members of a local family say they are still looking for answers after they arrived at their grandmother's funeral to find someone else in her clothes in her casket. >> news4's pat collins first reported this story yesterday, and today he spoke with someone from the funeral home. now he's joining us live in northwest d.c. pat, what are they telling you about what happened? >> reporter: it's very

where is the body of virginia gray? now, the horton funeral home says the hospital told them that the funeral home has the body of virginia gray, but virginia gray's grandchildren say they have the wrong woman. now, tonight we have some new evidence on both sides. where is the body of virginia gray? she was supposed to be buried last week, but when her grandchildren came to the viewing at the horton funeral home, they say the woman in the casket wasn't their grandmother. >> i just want to have a proper funeral and burial if it's not too late. we just want to find our grandmother. >> reporter: today the horton funeral home says the woman they have here was identified to them by the hospital as virginia gray. and as far as you're concerned the body you have here is the body of virginia gray. >> that's what the

the family says otherwise. the family says not. the hospital said it is. the hospital tagged it virginia gray. so they're holding to their guns that we have the right person. >> reporter: the family in the meantime says no. >> says no, it's not the right person. >> reporter: virginia gray was 83 years old. on february 19th she became unconscious. she was taken to the prince george's county hospital. she died a short time later. the horton funeral home picked up manasss. gray's body and pre her for burial. but they say this wasn't their grandmother. according to the family the body in the casket had two different identification markers, a brycelet abryce let bracelet and the co-tag. the bracelet had the name athens dough, a 66. the toe tag had the name virginia e.

2/10/1933, age 83. but both tags have the same i.d. number. now, there's another catch here. the family says virginia gray had some surgical scars. they say the body here at the funeral home has no scars. so how is all this going to get resolved? well, some thoughts on that coming up at 6:00. >> it just gets stranger and stranger. thanks so much, pat. 20 years on and police still don't have their big break but investigators are not giving up. alicia showalter reynolds disappeared two decades ago today. witnesses told police they saw her car stopped on the side of the road and a man in a pickup truck with her on the shoulder. investigators have pored through more than 10,000 tips but are still hopeful they can solve the case. a

court. the justices hearing today their first arguments on a highly controversial case since the death of justice antonin scalia. >> it's the judgment of the people of texas -- >> people on both sides demonstrating outside the high court as the justices heard a challenge to a texas abortion law. it requires doctors to have admitting rights at hospitals near the clinics and the clinics have to be upgraded to hospital-like standards. pete williams was at the hib court for today's argument. pete, there's word that court is sharply divided and we could end up with just a 4-4 vote, huh? >> reporter: well, we could. with justice scalia gone, that means the court is sort of ideologically divided. four liberals who undoubtedly who would like to see this struck down. three conservatives who would like to uphold it and that

key vote. he could vote with the conservatives that would leave the texas law intact without saying anything about similar laws in other states but after looking at the arguments and it's always tricky to judge, it did seem like this is not going to end in a tie, that the court could either send this case back and several justices talked about this. they were concerned that there isn't enough evidence in the record here to say exactly why more than half of the clinics in texas should down and how much of a burden this is for women with the existing number of clinics, especially in parts of the state that are clearly now underserved. so that's one option, send it back and ask for more evidence. that would take probably another year, year and a half, maybe two years to come back here and maybe in the meantime the court will be at nine justices. the other possibility is justice kennedy might join the four liberals and say the law or either part of the law are just unconstitutional. they're too much of a burden. it doesn't seem though like the other possibility, which

clearly they're not five votes here or six votes or even six votes to say the law is unconstitutional and the tie, frankly, seems less likely now than it did before the case was argued. impossible to be sure but that's how it seemed. >> all right. pete williams. thank you, pete. >> reporter: you bet. top health officials were on capitol hill today answers some tough questions about what they're doing to fight the zika virus. the national institutes of health says it's going to need more than $800 million. the cdc is on its highest alert in response to the virus, and an official said cases in puerto rico are doublingi every week. the mosquito that spreads the virus could start appearing in other parts of the united states in june and it's notoriously hard to control. >> it's spread primarily by the mosquito. this is the cockroach of mosquitos. it lives indoors, in the shade. it is hard to kill. and it's very effective at spreading

>> there are confirmed zika cases in d.c., maryland, and virginia, but those cases all involve people who have traveled to countries in latin america. well, this hash tag is free christie. it was a story that was tough to miss. the fallout from the chris christie appearance with donald trump last night. and forget the speed cameras all over town. there is a new way you can get a ticket without getting pulled over.

oxygen masks and that it can be required or even preferred by the patient. >> this didn't have to happen. it really didn't. >> reporter: beverly's complaint claims safety steps needed weren't taken during her surgery. >> we don't want what happened to rita talpert in 2005 and what happened to beverly wilson in 2013 to happen to somebody else in 2016. >> reporter: the i-team reached out to the defendants named in the case, including inova, but they said they couldn't comment on matters in litigation. in court filings they have denied many of the allegations. and just this week her attorney said the hospital has settled the lawsuit with beverly. >> i just had to get to a place where i had to accept my face and move on. >> reporter: we asked inova about rita's case but they wouldn't comment. she settled a lawsuit after her fire. inova told us its fairfax campus subdescribes to the fuse program which offe

crash into yul of 2009. it was caused by a drunk driver who forced their vehicle off the beltway by the american legion bridge. the victims were construction workers with families. the drunk driver was convicted of manslaughter by vehicle and leaving the scene of the accident. kelli loos is now 40. she served four years in prison, vowed she had changed, and was released. loos is now charged with violating her probation by consuming alcohol and trying to drive. her probation requires her to use an ignition interlock device on her car. its readings gave her away. at first she blamed the breathalyzer results on altoid mints, but today in court she admitted to drinking. >> her own behavior and decisionmaking prove that she needs to be behind bars. >> reporter: in court judge joseph dugan asked loos who did you get to blow in the breathalyzer to start your car? loo loos sno
