60s where we're at right now. a live look outside with our rockville came ra, you can see cloudy skies. heading out tonight, you definitely want to grab that waterproof layer. there are also changes now in the forecast for the weekend. i'll have more on that. what you can expect for your weekend coming up at 4:17. >> i'm erika gonzalez here at the live desk with some breaking news that's just come into the newsroom. we are now hearing from police that tyler tessier, the 32-year-old man that was charged in the death of laura wallen, the beloved teacher in montgomery county, has now been formally indicted by a grand jury, one count of murder. remember, this is a story that started in early september. you saw tessier there in that video. this is a story that kristin wright had long reported. tessier was seen at a press conference with police, with laura wallen's parents saying he knew nothing of her disappearance. and we later learned that laura wallen's body was found in a

double life with another relationship on the side. laura wallen was four months pregnant at the time of her death. the breaking news coming into the newsroom this afternoon. again, tyler tessier, 32 years old, charged with murder officially, indicted by a grand jury, one count of murder. from the live desk, i'm erika gonzalez. pat, we'll excepted things back to you in the newsroom -- excuse me, the studio. >> all right, erika, thank you. the numbers continue to get worse in california. there are now 22 separate wildfires, at least 23 people dead. nearly 300 missing, and hundreds of others in shelters. more than 3,000 buildings, mostly homes, are destroyed. some homeowners luckier than others. >> and i saw a fire truck come up the street. they said, you have to go. i said, help me, man.

i said, you can save my house. >> just heart breaking. >> that's in napa valley with more. >> jinah, the big problem is wind now, isn't it? >> reporter: yes, the winds are always what everyone is afraid of and winds were a huge factor in why the fires have grown as big as they did. the good news is the winds that were predicted to continue into today so far have been pretty minimal. the fire fighters really are going to try to make ground with that. the bad news, more than 20,000 people remain evacuated, including those here at the napa valley college shelter which is one of the largest in the area. and here's the scary thing. some 500 people remain missing. fire fighters caught a bit of a break today from the ferocious winds that whipped up 22 major fires throughout california in less than a week. >> fire crews are making progress and we are beginning to contain this fire. >> the

to diminish through the day. >> reporter: but the numbers remain staggering. some 3500 homes and buildings burned, including at last count 17 wineries and an untold number of organic farms popular in the state's wine country where the worst of the fires had been raging. >> i've been up in calistoga for like 18 years, and we've had small fires, but nothing as devastating as what's going on. >> reporter: along with stories of despair are stories of heroism, like that shown by a pair of california highway patrol helicopter pilots who risked their lives to rescue a family of five surrounded by flames. >> it was suddenly. it was close. i called my daughter and i told her, mija, if i don't see you again, remember i love you. >> reporter: today fire officials announced nearly 500 people were still unaccounted for, but with rescues and fire containment being the top concerns, investigators are just starting to go back to look for theis

have found bodies that were almost completely intact and we have found bodies that were nothing more than ash and bones. >> reporter: still no word on the cause of these fires, but investigators are looking into the possibility they were started by downed power lines. now, the major fire burning in southern california, the one that burned more than 30 homes east of disneyland, good news there. almost fully contained. live in napa, jinah kim, back to you. >> all right, thank you, jinah. overseas now, an american woman, her canadian husband and three children are free from the taliban kidnappers five years after they were abduct the. but there is some confusion about what is happening with them now going forward. a u.s. official says caitlyn coleman and joshua boyle and their kids are now safe at a secret location in pakistan. but boyle actually turned down a u.s. flight to bring the family home here. it's just not known why he did that. the couple was kidnapped while they were out hiking in afghanistan in 20

turn the rain up to pickup patchy drizzle out. there we're seeing it in parts of fauquier county. howard county and anne arundel county. so some drizzle, maybe some light showers for the evening hours. but not heavy enough i think to cancel the game. what you want to bring or prepare the kids for tomorrow as they head out the door is the waterproof jacket, small umbrella and long sleeves. very similar to today, we start off with temperatures in the upper 50s and, doug, it's the question everyone is asking, are the nats going to play tonight? so, we'll send it out to you at the wharf. you're saying it's actually not that bad outside right now. >> no, actually, amelia, this is actually pretty good. we're not seeing the drizzle and we're not going to continue to see anything. those guys down there, you see the red coates down there. they were asking me about the game. i think the game is going to be great. look at this place, guys. this is just awesome. i was down here last night for the foo fighters concert. this is the anthem. we're going in there tommy mcfly taking us in for

[ laughter ] >> i'll see you in just a minute. it's going to be a fun day. >> when you heard full montie. >> thanks, wendy. >> see you. >> what is the weather going to be like tonight? >> well, we're looking at a cool night, we'll have patchy drizzle out there. of course doug is down at the wharf. pretty nice out there right now. we have all been wanting fall-like weather and, well, now here it is. just looking at the numbers, guys, it hasn't been since september 2nd where we've only had high temperatures in the 60s.

so, it has been a while. we are going to keep the 60s around tomorrow. not only that, but the clouds and some patchy drizzle as well. that is your first weather headline. watching saturday now, throughout the week it was looking like saturday would be really nice. upper 70s, plenty of sunshine, but now it looks like we'll have plenty of clouds around throughout the day on saturday. still keeping it dry but a little cooler. temperatures warming into the upper 640s and low 70s on saturday. next week all in all, i have to say it's gorgeous. crisp, school fall weather on the ten-day forecast. tomorrow it's cool but we're going to have drizzle out there. so, another damp day. at the bus stop kids will want something waterproof. 58 degrees at that point. by recess probably outside, but i can't rule out some patchy drizzle. really throughout the day and some scattered like showers. 64 degrees at recess and pickup right around 66. we have a lot of great friday night football games going on across the area tomorrow, oxon hill, woodbridge at freedom. you want to bring waterproof jacket to those games tomorrow evening as well.

the most part, mid 60s with plenty of clouds and that's where we find ourselves right now, doug, in the 60s. like i said, i can't believe the last time we had highs in the 60s, not in the month of october, but early september. >> yeah, that's right. it's been on the warm side for sure. now on the cool side. that's the way it's going to continue to be today and tomorrow. and into part of the weekend. outside right now we are down by the anthem. we were there a minute ago. we are now on what's called district pier. this is a cool spot, too. you get to walk out on the pier, see the boats on one side. take a look with me here. this is the concert venue where kevin bacon, the bacon brothers will be going on tonight. a lot of people, you play that game. six degrees of separation from kevin bacon. you've got one because you know me and kevin has done the weather on my show before. he's actually come on and been one of the bacon brothers before. i met kevin. he's here for an interview.

we're trying. we're still working on getting kevin bacon, see if we can get him live. going on 5:00? is he going on at 5:00? 5:00, he's going on at 5:00 any minute now. let's show you the weather, guys. it's looking good right now, but we do expect to see some showers. temperature wise we're in the 60, 64 degrees at the airport. only 61 leesburg. cool air for sure. we've seen those showers. we're going to continue to see those through the evening hours. if you're coming down to the wharf expect the temperatures to drop a little bit and expect some drizzle. expect some shower activity. i think the showers will increase as we move on through the night. go right to the ten-day. as we move on through the next few days, tomorrow another cool day with some shower activity. saturday now we're thinking we could see some shower activity there, too. and then sunday we really think the day will break out for sure, high temperatures into the low 80s and then next week a rather cool week. i'm going to go ahead, get my seat there for the bacon brothers. are they coming out now? some of the guys are already coming out. i have to send it back in to you guys. >> all right. enjoy the bacons. >> kevin is lookinfo
