tomorrow morning for your commute. justice finally for chandra levy or a prosecution built solely on fiction. closing arguments have just wrapped up in the murder case against ingmar guandique. the defense and prosecution offered dramatically different pictures of the evidence that the jurors have heard over the last month about the former intern and the lover of a congressman. bruce leshan has been listening to all of it. he listens live under the umbrella of d.c. superior court. bruce? >> reporter: prosecutors started by asking jurors to conjure up the face of ingmar guandique. they said this was the terror, the last face that two women saw who came here and testified as they were dragged fighting for their lives down into a ravine in rock creek park. and they said that this was the last face that chandra levy saw as she lay bound and gagged in

rock creek park either dead already or left to die of dehydration and starvation. prosecutors hung chandra levy's stained clothes right in front of the jury. the tights knotted as though used to bind someone. the sports bra, the usc t-shirt found with her remains eight years ago in rock creek park. ingmar guandique, they say, was stalking young women in the park. he pleaded guilty to attacking holly schilling and christie wiegand on remote trails that match the chandra levy scene precisely. dense woods, a steep ridge and a creek to drown the noise of anyone screaming. they pointed to the cell mate who testified that guandique confessed to killing chandra but insisted he didn't rape her. the pen pal who told how scared

she was after she heard guandique thinking he can kill a woman. and the neighbor who testified there were scratches on him. and the government said the defense had not brought you any evidence of how or when she died and they directed attention back to gary condit. he does things like a guilty man and doesn't cooperate with the police and doesn't help when a girl he said he cares about goes missing. a married and powerful man, he's the one they say has the motive of the disappearance. now the lawyers told the jury, as juror number 13 should be the presumption of innocence. if you have any question that the government has failed to answer, they said, that is reasonable doubt.

now the jury has just go gone home for -- gone home for the night. and my colleague tells me they are expected to start deliberating tomorrow morning at 9:30. >> bruce, we'll see how this turns out. thank you. the busy thanksgiving travel rush is just a week away and triple-a said more than 42 million people will be traveling over the long holiday weekend. that is an 11.5% increase from last year. and most of the folks will hit the nation's roads. of those traveling, 94% will go by car for thanksgiving. 4% will go by air. and the remaining 2% will go by rail, bus or boat. for those who are flying this thanksgiving, triple-a is warning to you be prepared for the tsa new screening procedures. those screenings are sparking controversy at the nation's airports. at issue, the full body scans that some passengers say amount to a virtual strip search. delia gonsalves is live at dulles. she looked at how our airport security screenings are going today and what are passengers

saying? >> anita, we talked to folks here at the airport, bwi and reagan national. and all of them were uncomfortable with the idea of someone seeing essentially what you look like with your clothes off. but they say considering the alternative, they would rather do that instead. >> reporter: no matter where you fly, bwi, reagan national, or dulles, prepare for the chance for a full body scan. >> i guess i would find that a little invasive. >> reporter: only randomly selected passengers will go through the advanced imaging technology. the transportation security administration said the scans can detect hidden weapons or even explosives. and according to a new cbs poll, four out of five americans support them. >> there are so many things happening these day. >> reporter: here is what you need to know. the assisting officer cannot view the image and the person

viewing the passenger never sees them and all images are stored. >> the alternative might be worse. >> reporter: but some are protesting and opting out of the full body scans if they are chosen. they are staging the opt out on one of the busiest days of the year, the day before thanksgiving. tsa is not worried. they show the number is more like less than 1% of travelers. those who opt out are subject to a pat-down where breast and private parts will be touched. critics call it nothing more than groping. >> you don't know who you will meet. they look at you to spot you down. >> reporter: empty your pockets and know of any hidden medical device. patdown is an officer of the same gender and you can request a private screening or have a friend with you. >> if you don't do it, you don't get on the plane. >> reporter: and we should tell you that the tsa assures us if

an officer is caught with a camera phone, taking a picture of a body image, they will be fired immediately. anita? >> delia, a lot to talk about. thank you. two people busted in the corruption sweep have been ordered held in jail. am rick melhi and his wife own tick tock liquors in langley part. the feds say they have recorded conversation in which the couple talks of paying off county officials and a search of their home uncovered $400,000 in cash in a closet. and we have more in the wake of the expanding corruption investigation in prince george's county tonight. scott broom reports federal agents aren't the only ones alleging play-to pay shakedowns regarding indicted county executive jack johnson. >> reporter: long before the arrest of prince george's county executive jack johnson, the owner of this building in new carrollton decided to blow

the whistle on his own. the landlord here alleges he is the victim of a political shakedown, a shakedown that appears to fit a pattern of corruption known as pay-to play. it's called the new carrollton town center and this empty lobby was to be the new home of the prince george's county of department housing and community development according to the lawsuit filed by the landlord. in 2009 the landlord claims he negotiated a ten-year $11 million lease directly with county executive jack johnson and his personal attorney. but the deal went bad, he claims. shortly after he was solicited by lobbyist michael arrington for a $50,000 contribution to a political committee controlled by council members. arrington is also closely tied to johnson and a significant

campaign contributor. later the landlord claims he was solicited by tony knots for a $40,000 contribution. he refused to pay and the council never voted on the lease and the building is empty and he blew the whistle with his lawsuit. scott broom, 9 news now. >> no one involved in the case would be interviewed on the record today n. court filings, all of the accused politicians deny the charges and they are asking to have the case thrown out. a bizarre and gruesome discovery along a high way in frederick county today. a maintenance crew found a body stuffed in a box along westbound i-70 near braddock mountain. the police are not able to give us a age, gender or race, just that it's an adult. there is no i.d. the cause of death is unclear as is the kind of box the body was found in. the body was taken to the office of the chief medical examiner in baltimore for an autopsy. local police and the fbi are trying to determine if a

fairness, led only by the fakes -- the facts and the law. >> reporter: he did not attend tuesday's hearing but did make a brief appearance on monday. he told the panel he had run out of money to fight the case and needed more time to set up a defense fund and hire a lawyer. >> since i don't have counsel to advise me, i'm going to have to excuse myself. >> reporter: rangel had been one of the most influential members of the house, serving 20 terms in congress. voters in his harlem district re-elected him two weeks ago. 80% voted for him. >> my opinion of him really hasn't changed. he's done a lot of good things for harlem. >> i think that bottom line is that it's a witch hunt. >> the ethics committee will decide his punishment. he's been striped of the ways and means committee chairmanship and could face a formal reprimand or censure. >> this is another embarrassment for the democrats who lost control of the house in the mid-term elections. some frightening moments
