miracle that i asked for. >> a stunning twist in the murder of a pregnant teacher. new details about the relationship between the victim and the suspect. a man who just days ago was crying and holding 100 days with the victim's parents. >> i don't know, i don't know. >> tonight, the possible murder for murder and the trail of text messages that may have led to his arrest. >> obviously there was a triangle going on here. he was involved separately with two women. >> there has been a lot of intrigue with this case in the past couple weeks. it ended tragically when police told us they did find laura wallen's body a. >> while there are still many questions remaining we learned more about wallen's boyfriend, the man accused of killing her. wallen's sister says laura and tyler tessier had been on and off for the past seven years. wallen four months pregnant when she disappeared, tessier, the

tessier had asked laura's father to marry her. he eventually admitted he was engaged to another woman, a woman laura wallen had just texted. >> we have team coverage for this case and a closer look at tessier. we begin with new reaction from the family and kristin wright who is live in rockville. kristin? >> reporter: laura wallen's family stood right outside the courthouse here and talked about their grief. laura's father also answered questions about laura's boyfriend and didn't mince words. >> he has been deceiving and lying their entire existence, and their relationship was the only thing that laura and her family ever thought about. >> reporter: laura wallen's father, after watching her boyfriend and accused killer in court, the judge denying bond. laura's family facing a lifetime

>> we were praying for a good old-fashioned miracle. god did not give us the miracle that i asked for, but he did give us a miracle nonetheless. we have our daughter back. >> reporter: tyler tessier mostly hung his head. appearing on a monitor from jail. the big news we learned today from the prosecution, tyler was engaged to another woman. he proposed to that woman after finding out that laura was pregnant. and around the same time, tyler had asked laura's father for his blessing to marry her. >> he is a monster, and he is a liar. >> reporter: states attorney john mccarthy says prosecutors will take the evidence to a grand jury. >> they used cell phone records to show he was repeatedly night after night after night going back to the same field. that is the field where ms. wallen's body was, in fact, recovered. >> reporter: strong in faith, the wallen family delivering this message in their

because nothing is guaranteed and we are all loaned to each other for just a brief period in time. >> reporter: laura was due in late winter, early spring. the state's attorneys office says they are looking into it, but that it is unlikely tyler will be charged, again charged with more charges because laura was pregnant. back to you, jim. >> kristin, thank you. imagine being a parent and sitting just inches from your daughter's possible killer. police tell us laura wallen's parents did just that earlier this week. we saw it and it was all part of that calculated move by police as they tried to learn more about wallen's boyfriend, tessier. news 4's megan fitzgerald continues our coverage now from that very spot where that news conference happened on monday. megan, chilling to look at

>> reporter: yeah, exactly, jim. that's what makes this entire case so troubling, is the fact that tyler tessier was standing right here just a couple of days ago next to laura's parents, pleading for her to come back. but police say at that moment they already knew that tessier was the prime suspect in this case. >> complete shock. >> reporter: police say from the beginning of their investigation, they knew tyler tessier was a prime suspect because he told several different lies. >> i don't know where she is. that's all. i don't know. >> reporter: but over the course of the police investigation, detectives say tyler knew exactly where 31-year-old laura wallen was. on saturday, september 2nd, two days before labor day, police say tyler took laura to this field off of price's distillery road in damascus. court documents say she sent a text message to her sister saying, quote, tyler has me on an adventure in the country. don't know why i'm here, but it's for something.

laura's sister replied saying, really, where are you? and asked her to send a picture. police say the next day tyler murdered laura and buried her body in that very same field, but that's when investigators say the cover up began. detectives say tyler sent several messages to laura's sister saying things like, quote, i am 95% sure tyler is not the father, and tyler is never going to forgive me. police say tyler tried to make it seem like he wasn't the father of laura's unborn child as a way of covering up the crime. but police were onto him, even while he stood next to laura's parents and pleaded for her return. >> and we just want to know she's okay. we just want her back. >> reporter: it was a difficult moment for laura's dad. >> it was absolutely the hardest thing that my wife could do, would be to sit next to him and hold his hand. >> reporter: yeah, just can't imagine what those parents were feeling. but police tell us they allowed tessier to speak to the

that day because it was all part of their investigation. they wanted to see exactly what he was going to say as they closed this case and prepared to make the arrest. back to you. >> well, that is the power of love for their daughter that did bring them some closure. all right, megan, thank you so much for that. >> we are following some breaking news in fairfax county where a man is in the hospital. he was shot by a security guard outside of ava community center. news 4's mark segraves is live in the neighborhood with the latest on this. mark? >> reporter: yeah, good evening, wendy. this is the gum springs community center we're out in front of. take a look behind the community center. you can see this playground where crime scene detectives and forensics experts are looking for evidence. that's where the shooting took place. it all began about 20, 30 yards away when the security guard at this community center approached a man on this baseball field about his dogs. it all began when a man had his two dogs off of their leash, running on this baseballld

center. a security guard from the community center asked the man to control his dogs because children were about to get out of classes. that prompted an argument, according to police, who say it escalated here on the playground behind the gum springs community center. that's where the security guard drew his gun and shot the man. the victim got in his car with his dogs and took off. the security guard called 911 and gave police the tag number of the car which led police to a nearby house just a few blocks away where the victim was found with a gunshot wound to his abdomen, lying in his driveway. now, what police will not tell us is why the security guard felt so threatened that he shot the man who was walking his dogs. we asked him if the dog walker had a weapon or if he was threat ni threatening to sick the dogs on the security guard. that is all part of the investigation. we're live in fairfax county, mark segraves, news 4.

president trump is praising the recovery efforts now in florida and is planning to visit the u.s. virgin islands and puerto rico soon. the president says leaders and emergency responders in florida are doing an amazing job. for the first time since the storm, florida power and light is making promises about power. the utility says the east coast will be restored by sunday and the west coast of florida where that damage is more severe will have power by next friday. >> and we are hearing more details about the eight deaths at that nursing home in hollywood, florida. now we know that the facility did have some power, but the air conditioning was not working at full capacity. portable air conditioning units were operating, but investigators obtained a search warrant and they are on the scene. >> we are looking into the temperature inside the facility, the staffing inside the facility, and all of the conditions inside the facility in the hours leading up to this

situation. >> the 145 surviving patients, they have been transferred to other facilities. >> well, all these days later and we are still talking about the remnants of hurricane irma. >> doug is in the storm center tracking some showers that look like they're kind of sprinkling through our area. >> there is not a lot out there. i think if you left without an umbrella you'd probably be okay, but there are a couple showers. right now storm team 4 radar tracking, not much going on here. we have one little shower here along 50 coming out of the beltway. a shower right here, this is the biggest shower around leez berg area. another one back here toward shenandoah county. this will track through leesburg here, this little guy moving right along 50 towards bowie. that's really going to be about it here. this is all part of the much bigger system, the remnants ever irma which continue to move on through. that's provided us with the cloud cover today and a little bit more humidity today. you may have felt that. not a lot of showers. going to be a similar day tomorrow. of course we're tracking jose as we told you last more. it is going to have a little

joins us with what we need to know about this. >> let's get right to the four questions we had from our viewers. carol from annapolis was asking us if we can freeze our credit on the phone, but just by calling the credit bureau. the answer is yes, you can, but here's a warning. have a pen and paper available because you're going to be receiving a pin number. and we've been hearing that the digits are like ten digits long. these pins are ten digits long. if you miss it, it's not easy retrieving it because they hang up the phone on you. we have beth from d.c. she e-mailed us with this question. is it worth spending the $20 or so to freeze your credit on the other two sites? not just equifax. the answer is yes, you've got to freeze your credit on all three because lenders use various credit bureaus to get your information. and here's another question from a viewer. should we get a copy of our credit report before we put a freeze on our credit? the answer is yes. it's a good idea to get one now, and then

another one. this way you can compare the two to see whether anything has changed. and finally, where can we join a class action lawsuit against equifax is another question. and the answer for that is if you've been compromised, you are automatically a part of a class action lawsuit unless you opt out. you will automatically be contacted. >> we're hearing this could impact if you want to get an iphone? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. no matter what you apply for credit, iphones are a thousand dollars, right? you can't pay a thousand dollars, you're going to go and try to take out a little loan, right? he >> right. >> everyone needs a credit check. if you put a freeze, you just have to know that's going to happen. but what you can do, you can be specific. so, say that you're about to buy a car or an appliance or an iphone. >> sure. >> you can lift that freeze temporarily. you can alert them saying, you know, bank of america, or apple or whomever, is going to be looking into my credit. so you canpe

open just for that. >> does that cost you to lift that freeze, susan? >> of course it does. on equifax, no. they are taking the fees away. but on transunion and experian, yeah. every time you do do that, you have to be aware. and i think in some cases it can be up to $29 every time you do it. but i mean, again, it's worth it. as far as i'm concerned. but, you know, you have to do all three. a quick warning and i know they're saying wrap, is they are so inundated right now, equifax. >> sure. >> you're going to get warning and error messages like we did, one of my producers. you have to be patient and keep trying to get that. >> great information and staying out in front for us. thanks, susan. >> no worries. >> since the equifax breach, people have asked if all may have been compromised, should we just do away with social security numbers. over the years they have become a necessity for jobs, for health care, for loans, taxes, but experts say that wasn't the

among the possible alternatives, though, constantly changing numbers, multiple step authentications or biometric measures. >> we repeatedly year after year have these wake up calls and we hit the snooze button. there's no more snooze buttons. >> a reminder if you want to see if you've been impacted by the equifax breach, we've posted a link in our nbc washington app. just search equifax. >> so, how much do you have in your savings account right now? if it's not much, you're not alone. according to go banking rate survey, for more than half of americans it is less than a thousand bucks. here's how that cash stacks up. a quarter of americans have 10,000 or more saved for rainy day. 6% have between 5 and 10,000 saved, 18% have less than a thousand saved. and get this, 39% have no savings whatsoever. experts tell us by the time you're 65 and thinking about

retirement, you should have at least eight times your annual salary tucked away. check with susan real quick. she says you should aim for 6 to 12 months' worth of expenses. most americans don't have anywhere near that number. wendy? >> dozens of national latino organizations rallied outside the white house today pushing back against what they call anti-immigrant rhetoric and political actions. >> the people united, we'll never be defeated. >> though their doenl strags comes after president trump threatened to end daca, last night it sounded like there could be a deal after the president met with the hill's top democrats. but the white house is pushing back. mr. trump says he wants congress to act before the october recess. nbc's casey hunt has a look at whether that's even possible. >> reporter: deal or no deal, that is the question of the day. it sounds like where we are is that there is at least a deal to start talking about how

a permanent fix for the kids who are here, who were brought by their parents, are undocumented, some 800,000 of them whose status is now uncertain. what we do know is that there seems to be a broad agreement that the package will combine border security with a fix for these kids. now, whether or not they can come to an agreement on that and actually pass it through the congress, that's the big question. and the goal we've heard today is to try to do it in the month of september. that's going to be a really, really steep hill to climb. congress still has a couple of other things to get off of its plate. and republicans in particular want to focus on reforming the tax code, not on a fix for this. so, there is still a long way to go. one thing that could really derail all of it is the president's base has reacted very negatively to the idea of doing a fix for these kids. you've had a lot of figures in the right wing who were supportive of president trump during the campaign and who are essentially now saying that he

so, there's a lot of maneuvering still to come before president trump can claim that he has sealed this deal. kasie hunt, nbc news, capitol hill. >> i'm erica gonzalez here at the live des. we have some live pictures to show you from dallas where we understand a large crane is on its way to lead park for the removal of a confederate statue there. general robert e. lee, these are live pictures again coming to us from dallas. this was due for removal per a vote by the city council. of course, after everything happened in charlottesville, we've seen numerous scenarios like this happen across the country with calls for removals of confederate statues. again, these live pictures happening right now coming to us from dallas, from lee park. there is now, you can see that white crane that is inching its way into that statue there of general robert e. lee. from the live desk, i'm erica gonzalez. >> erica, thank you. it's a test

tractor-trailer that is partly driving itself? well, it's actually happening here along i-66. it's all part of a test for new technology that could revolutionize the way we all use the road. our transportation reporter adam has inside access to see this test in action. >> reporter: this is pretty incredible. we are cruising down 66 at about 55 miles an hour, and the driver here does not have any control of the gas or the brake. he simply just steers as the truck rolls along. just a second or two behind the front truck. think of this as a really, really advanced form of cruise control. three trucks rolling down the highway, but only the lead truck is responsible for speed and braking for the entire group. the following trucks take their speed and braking commands from that lead truck. and that means that these guys can get very close. >> we are .6 seconds away from this truck. >> exactly. >> and h

gas, brake, anything? >> anything. >> he's just steering the truck. >> exactly. >> and we're gliding down i-66. os mond with the federal transportation. >> ten seconds between that. >> reporter: he says it's a potential breakthrough when it comes to truck platooning. it should improve fuel efficiency 5%. it should free up more space on the highways because less following distance is required. and it could be in place next year. and, again, all of this is being tested right now along i-66. >> every road in the state of virginia is open for testing. we don't have a regulatory environment that is restrictive to this. >> reporter: back on the road as we follow closely, you do have to wonder if this could cause truck drivers to lose a little focus. osmund agrees more tests are needed. >> we haven't done any studies on that. that's human factor studies to be done next. >> reporter: but for today, another step closer to a self-driving society.
