september, 2014. she did face several charges, including neglect and abduction but with a paranoid schizophrenic diagnosis, she was held in a psychiatric hospital and deemed unfit to stand trial. for years her loved ones and volunteers went out searching for sara and jacob to no avail. and then word of her indictment came down last night as a surprise, we have learned, to her legal team. and then they say came another surprise. >> my biggest concern is i don't know where our client is. miss hoggle has been dealing with significant mental health issues even before her arrest in this case. we don't know that she's getting her medication. >> no. as you heard, her health a big concern for her legal team. she is likely in custody ahead of her appearance today in court which is just a few hours away. also at stake we have learned that her misdemeanor charges, th

>> he has been deceiving and lying their entire existence. he is a monster and he is a liar. >> police say that they had suspected tessier's involvement in wallen's disappearance right from the start. tessier is being held without bond. police say right before her death, wallen learned she wasn't the only woman in tessier's life. on the nbc washington app, we've posted the text message that wallen sent the other woman. just search laura wallen. firefighters are still trying to figure out what caused a deadly house fire this morning in prince george's county. it started just after 2:00 on callaway street in hillcrest heights. megan mcgrath is at the secene right now. >> reporter: yeah, that may have been a factor here. this was a fire that broke out in the middle of the night, 2:00 in the morning when many people were asleep

for the man who lives in the home behind me. you can take a look and see the damage on the outside of the house but you can't see the damage on the inside. the floor collapsed, so portions of the first floor we're told ended up in the basement and that's where the victim was found. now here's what it looked like overnight. take a look at the video. a number of complications in fighting this fire. first, rescue crews found what they're calling excessive storage conditions inside. they don't want to use the word "hording" but there were three-foot high piles of paper, books and other items stacked pretty much everywhere in most rooms within the house. this was combustible stuff, i'm told, and that of course added to the fire load. now, the immediate neighbors around the home were asleep. they didn't know what was going on and so the blaze was well under way when firefighters arrived here on the scene. neighbors say the victim here lived very quietly and he lived alone.

>> he stayed to hisself. we would always speak to him. he'd just say hi and keep going, you know, do what he had to do every day. then when he come home, he just was in the house the whole day. >> reporter: and no word on the name of the man who died here. also we don't have a cause for this blaze. the investigation still in its beginning stages. back to you. >> all right, thank you. this weekend you can expect a long list of big events in our area, including completing marches. how police plan to keep visitors and residents moving and also safe in the district. and unveiled today, the simple mural outside of union market. how it fits into a much larger exhibit at the museum that ♪ exhibit at the museum that do you want to do a monster check? yes. no monsters.

we turn now to the outrage and the shock of the deaths of eight seniors at a hollywood, florida, nursing home. they were found dead wednesday after their nursing home lost air conditioning during hurricane irma. officials say they have opened a criminal investigation into the nursing home, while approximately 56 other nursing homes in florida are still without full power. that's an incredible number, and that number is from the florida health care association. just this morning, fema touched on another major issue. the massive fuel outages. >> we're also very aware of the fuel distribution issues that are taking place. it's not as easy as just bringing

private gas station and being able to get the fuel out of the ground where the power is off. many of these places have not been retrofitted to handle generator power. and that's something that we have to look at as a nation going forward is how do we mitigate these problems in the future. >> according to gas buddy, gas station outages are down to 20% to 30% in most florida cities. >> still having a tough time recovering down there. the last thing they need is rain. what about us? >> i know, right? well, we've got some rain chances in there but they're very, very minimal. i wouldn't let it play a major role in deciding whether or not you go outdoors this weekend. i think we're manning out to see a nice week ahead of us. we'll talk about those rain chances in just a minute but let's take a look at the temperatures. 79 degrees right now in washington, d.c., good morning, leesburg, how are you doing? 77, or is it afternoon yet, i'm not quite sure. 75 out towards hagerstown. we're looking at 76 in clinton, maryland. so today we're g

about 84 degrees for our high. that chance for rain, we're going about 20%. if we see it, it will be isolated in nature, very light, very brief. in fact here's a look at your futurecast. you can see what i mean. very spotty here. thick clouds continuing to move through this afternoon. we could pick up a stray shower. the farther out west you go past or beyond the i-81 corridor out towards the blue ridge, notice how we stay pretty quiet and dry for your saturday morning, very similar to the conditions we woke up to this morning. i'm going to watch for patchy fog. then by the afternoon we've got that 20% chance again of an isolated shower popping up along the i-95 corridor so we've got to watch for that. but the bulk of the day stays pretty dry, so that is good news. we've been keeping our eyes on jose for quite some time. right now not yet a cat 1 storm but expected to grow in strength. notice what the models have it doing, tracking off the court, not a direct hit yet. so we could see some

that could bring us more rain showers so we'll have to watch jose very closely. looking for something to do this weekend? we've got the joint base andrews air show going down tomorrow. at the start of it, temperatures in the upper 60s. i think we'll get clear skies, especially between the 9:00 and 10:00 hour tomorrow morning so it should make for good viewing conditions. your ten-day outlook, i'm looking forward to this. i love temperatures in the mid-80s, i don't know about you. it's very reminiscent of summer. some of us here prefer fall, erika. >> excuse me, i was promised fall already. >> it's around the corner. as you can see we'll hit the 70s next weekend. until then, let's relish in this weather, folks. lined up the right field line, and the cleveland indians have won. >> they are calling themselves the windians today because they can't stop winning. that walk-off was a nail-biter

longest winning streak in baseball history, 22 in a row. it's been more than three weeks since they lost a game. like washington, cleveland has clinched a playoff spot, but the nats are still the only team that has won a division. >> incredible. >> incredible indeed. well, we've talked a lot about the growing problem of opioid addiction in this country. this morning, an even more alarming trend. the growing number of children addicted to pain killers. plus three former employees suing google. they cla

this morning google is facing a lawsuit claiming it discriminates against women. the suit was filed by three former employees. >> nbc's jo ling kent reports on accusations that the company is paying women less and denying them promotions. >> reporter: google is facing a major lawsuit on behalf of all women who have worked at the tech giant over the last four years. three former employees, kelly ellis, holly pees and kelly wazuri says google discriminates by systematically paying them less than men and denying them promotions. they're seeking a class action lawsuit, saying google's failure to pay female employees the same for substantially similar work habe

>> these women are taking a risk about their careers, and i think they are showing great courage, but they are doing this because they feel that there's a wrong that needs to be righted. >> in an e-mail to nbc news, google denied the claim, saying we disagree with the central allegations. we have extensive systems in place to ensure that we pay fairly. if we ever see individual discrepancies or problems, we work to fix them. google's workforce is 69% men and 31% women. earlier this year the labor department sued google also alleging compensation data revealed compensation disparities against women across the workforce. google has also denied those allegations. the ballooning controversy comes just weeks after google fired engineer james demoer for writing an internal memo claiming women and men differ in their abilities because of biological causes. >> this lawsuit has the potential to impact the way google is able to

future and that is a big deal. >> reporter: jo ling kent, nbc news, los angeles. who's in there? who's in there? how old is she? >> that's a mother screaming for firefighters to rescue her teenage daughter from their burning house in texas. the entire thing was captured on a police officer's body camera. he breaks the window and starts searching for the 13-year-old but can't find her. >> moments later, the officer helps a firefighter climb through the window there. he finds the girl and they pull her out together. first responders had to use cpr to revive her. more charges in the accidental shooting of a 4-year-old girl in virginia. her mother, destiny beach, is now behind bars on $500,000 for child abuse and neglect. we already told you about the arrest of isaiah davis. davis and beach pulled into a truck stop last friday with three kids and a loaded gun in their vehicle. a 2-year-old got ahold of the gun in the back seat

the 4-year-old who got hit is okay. the opioid crisis has gotten so bad it's already been declared a national emergency, but a new study put out by the university of iowa says pediatr pediatric opioid addiction is at an all-time high. >> reporter: doctors are discovering a growing number of kids addicted to opioid pain killers. >> opioid use, abuse in children in the united states is a real big problem. >> reporter: researchers at the university of iowa family hospital say that nationwide 135 young people test positive for an opioid addiction every day. >> we feel that this might just be the tip of the iceberg. >> reporter: that's because they are only found when kids and teens are taken to the emergency room for other issues and doctors screen them for drugs. the head of cleveland clinic's

pediatric emergency department is not surprised by the new research. >> i think it actually gives validity to what we have been seeing and what we have been thinking and feeling, which is now put in numbers. >> reporter: her doctors have noticed a growing number of kids in their early teens with opioid problems. the majority of young patients in the university of iowa study were college age, but some were as young as 8 years old. they'll need specialized treatment. >> you need a different approach in terms of their age and the development, and that's something we have to be cognizant about. >> reporter: a growing need for more and more children, growing up addicted. erica edwards, nbc news. >> this new research will be presented over the weekend at the american academy of pediatrics. bargain hunters, rejoice! this is an event going on in hyattsville this weekend. it opened at the sports and learning complex.

you can find discount eed toys d clothes. it is open until 8:00 tonight and all weekend. >> a lot of good shopping going on there. the mystics are coming home with a lot of work to do. they are in a 2-0 hole right now in their playoff series. one more loss and they're out. they have been looking pretty good at times, but this time it's do or die. game three takes place at the capital one center on sunday. and there's actually a little possible logistical problem if they do survive. a sold-out ed sheeran is scheduled the same day as game four, so the mystics would have to play at georgetown, which has a lot fewer seats. so there you have it. a major event in space this morning. >> a spacecraft crashes into saturn's surface. why nasa is still calling it the most successful science mission in history. hi, i'm britney johnson. we are officially a week away from the first day of fall and the d.c. area is gettingn

protest for you and bring you any updates in the nbc washington app. imagine working on something for 20 years and then you crash it into a planet. it's probably not what you and i do for a living but that's the kind of emotion that nasa scientists are dealing with today. nasa's cassini spacecraft took hundreds of thousands of pictures before burning up on saturn this in the morning. when it was all over, the people in charge of the project were quiet, gave each other a hug and that was that. it was the only spacecraft ever to orbit saturn. it sent a lot of valuable information about that planet and space in general. >> pretty amazing. you can take your kids to see something amazing this weekend in the skies over joint base andrews. these are the thunderbirds. you've seen them, you know these pilots make some amazing moves and they're just one of the groups showing up for the air show this weekend at joint base andrews. it will be open to the public tomorrow and on sunday and the whole thing is free. if you work for the department of de

relax. tomorrow you wake up and you head down to 8th street. why? they're having an awesome festival there. starts around noon. 76 degrees. still muggy. the good news is we're pretty quiet, very tranquil. nice mix of sun and clouds. then as we head towards that 5:00 hour just before everything wraps up, we'll see that 20% chance of rain again. i think we could see more passing showers tomorrow over today, in fact. or maybe you're just like i actually want to take it to the coast. you have to experience the beach while you can before late fall and winter comes. if that's the case, take a look at your forecast. ocean water temperatures not too bad, around 72 degrees. 78 degrees on saturday, so probably your best bet, it is going to be pretty cool on sunday. i think we have a greater chance along the coast for isolated showers on your sunday. let's go ahead and plan out the remainder of your week. before that, oh, yes, four things you need to know about today. more sun and warm, really nice for your saturday. we'll see warm conditions into your sunday. and we have to watch jose very os

from jose as we head into your monday. storm team 4 ten-day outlook. here it is. temperatures in the 80s all the way through next week. we don't get to the 70s until next weekend. as far as conditions go, best chances for rain are going to be through now and the weekend, but remember, isolated showers. no washouts. and then as we head into the top of the week, those clouds are really going to fill in as we keep our eye on jose. as our other meteorologist loves to say, amelia, she says no way, jose, isn't that right, erika? >> thank you, ma'am. all right. south korea will be more and more in the spotlight as the olympics get closer. today, a look at how the country is helping to set fashion trends. and family meals. some tips an tricks to getting everyone in your house around the dinner t

>> what do you have here on the front table. crystal works with wegman's. these are some options that are already frozen and ready to go? >> yes. one of the most innovative new items we have to help are puree, these blends of herbs and seasonings. >> do you add that to a dish or have that just as a stand-alone soup. >> you can have it as a side and puts that chef taste on the plate while you're adding the veggies. so half plate healthy. what's for dinner, half of it is already done. the next part is i want to make sure everybody is set up for success. the power of the pantry and not forget the freezer is part of your pantry. >> what should i be stocking in my pantry. >> great cooking whole grains, pastas, sauces -- >> there's no feel b

the trick is that this is whole grain. >> this is not and it's okay. it's a way to balance all of those things. all foods fit. having some really good go-tos and remembering to keep it simple and season the way your family likes to season things. if they prefer peach mango salsa with fish, that's great. i mentioned the freezer. also lean protein, so seafood. >> that's quick and easy. >> maybe theme night works for some people. having a seafood night, slow cooker night, stir fry night. >> i'm not going to lie, my pinterest board is set up that way, doing stuff in themes. >> you have to cook. >> you have to get in the kitchen. >> so we're here to help with cooking techniques. learning a few is the best solution for doing this and getting it on the table. if you have all of this, you're ready. you've got to learn to roast veggies and pan sear seafood and grill the chicken and grill the veggies. >> it shouldn't be so daunting for folks because all these things that you're describing

minutes to do. so the labor here -- >> as long as you're set up. >> yes, exactly. the labor here is not an hour, hour and a half. >> right. and that's why we've got videos online for the cooking techniques, lots of recipes. sometimes if you open the freezer, you see the seafood, you see the vegetables, it's time to go. >> last but not least, what is this setup? >> if you don't have time for any of this, maybe it's grabbing prepared food, rotisserie chicken. >> which i do all the time. >> the deal with family meals month, take a deep breath, relax, get around the table. i like to light an candle. >> some inexpensive flowers. >> take a deep breath and realize that it's time to ask each other how was your day, connect, listen, learn, nourish. and pass the lessons -- >> put the phone down, please. >> pass the lessons along. i see this grapefruit. i have memories of my own parents p
