7:07 am
yesterday or earlier this week, now working on another possible home invasion on the same block. steve keeley live in the point breeze neighborhood. >> now being called attempted break-in or burglary. you can see familiar site we saw so much of, yesterday, philadelphia police park under the rosewood sign. now we walk being briskly, we won't go in front of the competition and go in front of the victim's house, we go past the street. oddly what it appears from our naked eye view is that the police today exact same time of day. here is a scene. might be the same house. >> they wouldn't have fingerprint already. crime scene hasn't been here. back alley, see police officers there. this is the back of the house,
7:08 am
and you can see, the tall walls that people have up. they don't even use these backyards, as like they did in the 50's, 60s, with little fences, little gates, little gardens. these are now fortresses back here to prevent anything like this happening. and as chris pans to the right, for your viewers seeing this for the first time, right in the back of the broad street houses there is brown build something facing broad street. so, right off the main drag, right on mifflin. and mifflin just one block north of passyunk. have i very main intersection here in philadelphia. see just off the intersection, somebody may have come off now, is that a strange coincidence, or related to yesterday's case? police thought it was random. let me remind you of something i reported this time yesterday. one of the things that this attacker told women both here and in march, when they have linked these attacks since our report yesterday in the news conference with john barbie at
7:09 am
special victims unit was he said to these people if you call the police i'm coming back for you. well, you wouldn't think this guy actually would come back and follow through with that threat or try to come back into the same house, would you? the day after this got into the news? no way you would think. that's what police obviously have to think. but they have to investigate that possibility. so, that's all we can put that out there right now is the facts right now, you don't even have to speculate on that. but odd if it is the same exact house, where we had a break-in, and sexual assault yesterday. we learned later mant broke in, they don't know how he got n maybe he got in because the doors and windows weren't locked and waited for these women, two of them, he only attack one, but the rom mate never heard anything, but maybe just waited for them to return home because he was watching them and may live right around here, maybe watching this now. so seeing the first detectives, show up, as well. they'll get the report from the police officers, talking to people it, looks like they talked to couple of witness when is they we first got
7:10 am
here, we new they were talking to a man, then we saw them take a woman witness into the police car and take her down to the local precinct to interview her. so just amazing. we had one young girl walking her two little dogs come up to me hey what's new, anything new with this store? i said we're not here for yesterday's story. somebody tried to break into a house again here. i showed her where the police were down the ollie. how close is that to yesterday? >> she said looks like they are at the same spot again. that and the fingerprint dust, we see police going in and out of, tells us this may be the same exact house as the sexual assault happened n and we're told initially nobody was home. that will would be understandable, if you were one of those two women, the woman raped or the woman that was her roommate, would you ever want to go back here again? so that's the story to up date right now with the latest facts and pictures here in the point breeze section of south fill. >> i shocker. >> big update and big hit on the same house, possibly. all right, we told but all of
7:11 am

7:13 am
creek? is that a body of water that cents normally rushing? >> , no body of water allows other bodies of water to flow into. some some of this probably comes from nearby rivers. usually supposed to be pretty low. supposed to see like u shape, what you are supposed to see. you can't see that. but at this point, i wouldn't consider this alarming, at one point, all the way up, past where i'm even standing right now. >> my gosh. >> we'll check back with you probably next hour. nice job. 7:13 former pennsylvania senator rick santorum expected to jump into the 2016 presidential race. role make his big announcement tonight and the event in his hometown in butler county. he went for the republican nomination in 2012. >> he sure did. >> along with a lot of other peoplement okay. >> seventy-three candidates keeps getting deeper. another democrat announced plans to run for president, vermont senator bernie sanders
