6:33 pm
i can tell you right now that students and other people are showing up here now trying to figure out from us what's going on. >> such an awful feeling for the students showing up for that vigil only to hear this. jackie bensen in columbia, thank you. we will wait for 8:00 for more information from montgomery county police. and we'll, of course, be covering this on news4 at 11:00. >> all right. thank you, jackie. other top stories, eight people found dead at a nursing home in florida. the air conditioning went out during irma and the aftermath. investigators say residents likely died because of the heat. first responders are evacuating a second nursing home right now. people in the virgin islands are struggling to get basic needs, things like food and water. >> a judge denied bond for a maryland man accused of setting his pregnant girlfriend on fire. in court, laquinn's family

maryland. tonight, our consumer investigators are covering a troubling trend with this company and they've got surprising details about who is watching over movers. susan hogan has a story that you'll only see on news4. >> that's right. this story came to us an as nbc 4 responds complaint. once we started digging, we realized the problem goes well beyond this one move and this one company. >> and this is one of those boxes. >> reporter: al wilkins is busy getting settled into his new home and trying to forget the nightmare move that dragged on for four days. swift van lines may not have complied with some laws. they charged 400% of the estimate given to al and held his goods hostage until paid in cash and never gave al a receipt. >> in every instance of a violation of the consumer protection act, there's potential fine of $1,000. >> reporter: that's the attorney ra
6:36 pm
office after the move. the attorney general can't comment on his case since it's still opened but he's taken legal action against moving companies in the past. >> if we find that kind of activity anywhere else, we're going to pursue it and we'll get justice for the consumers who were ripped off. >> my thing was, this has to be stopped. >> reporter: this is what al is referring to. several complaints on the website from ripoff report.com. the movers showing up late and holding goods hostage and demanding cash payment. we called the company's owner ron carlos martinez. he hung up on us three times. we also texted him but he never responded. we went to the address listed on the estimate he gave out. turns out, it belongs to another moving company. we also went to martinez's home address. he
6:37 pm
member was. she wouldn't open the door and told us she didn't know where he w was. we started digging into the history of swift van lines. we found this document that martinez created the company in maryland in 2013. back then, it was named revolution moving and storage llc. in april 2016, the maryland insurance administration fined revolution $7500 for providing a fraudulent certificate of insurance to a potential client in 2015. one month earlier, changing the name of his company to swift van lines llc. the state tells us, to this day, martinez has never paid that fine he also has not filed a personal property return for his business since 2015. this is swift van lines website. we alerted the
6:38 pm
the company a cease and assist letter and says it is also taking action for misuse of its logo. and take a look at this. swift van lines advertises for long distance moves but we've confirmed with the federal motor carrier safety administration that the company does not have the authority to conduct interstate moves. and in al's case, he moved within maryland so federal authority is not required. the state allows moving companies to operate as long as they have a d.o.t. number which martinez does. >> you don't need a license to operate in maryland. >> reporter: the attorney general tells us if licenses were required in the state, martinez would not have that because of the unpaid $7500 fine. >> there's a clear line that would stop folks like these from continuing to rip consumers off. >> reporter: so should there be one agency watching over these companies? >> that's a question for
6:39 pm
good one. >> reporter: we shared the findings of our investigation with state representative flanagan. he's now drafting a bill to change the law. >> draft legislation that doesn't harm the good ones, that encourages people to make wise choices when they select movers but really puts the boot and kicks out people who are taking advantage of the system and really ripping off consumers. >> he'd also like to see stricter penalties who violate certain parts of the consumer protection act. >> we need to make it very clear in the law that if there is a violation, a clear violation and refusals to turn over goods, that if that is flagrant, it should really be a criminal violation. >> delegate flanagan points out there is a lot of good moving companies but has a
6:40 pm
of consumers. >> watch out. we're going to go after you. and from the legislative point of you, we'll be working on it next year. you're not going to stay in business for very long. >> and delegate flanagan says the attorney general's office or department of labor and licensing would likely be responsible for overseeing moving companies. the attorney general says he would support this legislation. now, we are working for you and have compiled a list of resources you should read before your next move to avoid getting ripped off. we've posted those laws and consumer protection offered by virginia, maryland and d.c. and the federal government. all you have to do is open up our nbc washington app and search moving tips. >> such an obvious loophole. >> it is. and until we brought it to their attention, everybody is like, oh. no one really knew. >> >> we're going to push them
6:41 pm
through. >> all right. thank you, susan. we're staying on top of the breaking news. a pregnant teacher from montgomery county was found dead in montgomery county more than a week after she disappeared. our whole team is working the phones. we'll have a live

and we read the papers and we read out loud to each other. >> reporter: but last week, pictures in an article she read in "the new york times" about shirley nins from houston spoke to her in a way she never expected. >> the power of loomed belongings out on the sidewalk waiting for trash disposal. and there was this woman shirley hines and it is a picture of dignity. >> hines is one of thousands of houston residents who lost everything. hurricane harvey ripped through the city. including these mugs that were given to her by her late mother. >> whenever she was feeling down, she would get one of those mugs and she said, i'd drink me some coffee. and i just realized she had to have some new ones. >> reporter: so ann scoured the internet. >> i bought all three cups, actually, that were for sale. sent
6:45 pm
>> reporter: they brought back so many memories. >> we would sit down and drink coffee. so when i have my moments now and think about my mom -- >> reporter: the cup of coffee every morning gave her strength for whatever awful day was ahead and everybody needs a cup like that. >> reporter: thanks to a random act of kindness, a woman who lost so much has gained more than she ever expected. >> god was saying to me, it's going to be okay. and i've been telling myself that ever since and i'm so blessed. >> reporter: meagan fitzgerald, news4. >> look at all of the things wreck wrecked behind her and she's got one thing to lift her spirits. >> and the beauty is that there's no limit or boundary on empathy. it's reached that far across. >> now,ti
