the daughter does make a difference. nearly a dangered after her daughter disappeared. -- nearly a decade after her daughter disappeared. nearly a decade after reporters around the world chased a congressman they thought might have killed her the jury has convicted a man who lurked in the woods preying on women alone kiss tracted by their day -- distracted by their day dreams. >> the result of the verdict is guilty, but i have a lifetime sentence of a lot of limb missing from our family tree. it is painful. i live with it every day. >> susan levy gasped as the jury foreman read the verdict. ingmar gaundique said nothing but then he threw down his head phones and shook his head no as his lawyer tried to talk to him. for prosecutors who convinced a jury to convict him of murder with no dna, no fingerprints, no hairs, and no fibers, it was a huge victory. >> today's verdict does send a message that it is never too

late for a murderer to be held accountable for his crime. it is never too late for justice to be served. >> reporter: defense attorneys insisted the whole case was fiction, and tried to steer jurors' suspicions towards anyone but gaundique. but after 11 days of testimony and three-and-a-half days of deliberation, the jury turned aside the rumors and speculation that had so distracted investigators in the media early in 2001. sentencing for ingmar gaundique is set for february 11. he faces as little as 30 years, and as much as life in prison without the possibility of proal. no word at this point on whether he will appeal. lesli? >> bruce i don't know there was a lot of -- i know there was a lot of emotion. we heard susan levy hugged the lead prosecutor amanda haynes after the verdict. >> you know how tough a case this had been for prosecutors.

susan levy hugged amanda haynes and said to her thank you, this is a miracle. amanda haynes replied, sometimes miracles do happen. >> all right, bruce leshan reporting, thank you. >> the chandra levy murder has been in the news for almost a decade. she disappeared on may 1, 21 after leafing her apartment in dupont circle. congressman gary condit was a person of interest soon after. with you on august 23rd he went on national television and denied any involvement in her disappearance. he would later lose his bid for reelection the following year. in may of 2002 her remains were found in rock creek park. phillip palmer made the discovery while walking his dog. seven years later, salvadoran immigrant ingmar gaundique is indicted in the murder. he was already in prison serving time for another crime. he was also in the country illegally. guandique's trial began one month ago bringing us to today's guilty verdict. he will be sentenced on february 11. for three-and-a-half days and nearly 20 hours of

deliberations, the jury pored through every detail of the case. >> some of those jurors spoke to reporters after the verdict was issued. delia gonsalt was in the courthouse when the verdict was read. did people get emotional, like the jurors? >> center did. in fact, three jurors, one man, two women were seen wiping tears away from their eyes and an interesting side note. when the judge polled the jury to ask each and everyone of them if they agreed with this verdict, one woman, juror number 12, a woman who later escaped from the courthouse without talking to reporters, bowed her head the whole time and muttered yes. >> the tears are dry as emily grinstead addressed reporters. grinstead was crying uncontrollably in the courtroom as the jurors delivered ingmar gaundique's fate. guilty on two counts of felony

murder. >> you're dealing with somebody's life. two people's lives, you know. i don't take that lightly. i take that very seriously. and i am confident with the decision that we made, but it doesn't mean that i -- i don't, you know, wish that we didn't have to be here today. >> grinstead says the case nearly a decade overdue was challenging to decide because of the facts and evidence presented. >> you can't -- you can't go deeper. you're given what you're given and you have to make a decision off that. >> reporter: about half a dozen jurors assembled outside of the courthouse describing a grueling deliberation process. >> we felt that it -- we owed it to everyone involved to go through the evidence completely -- >> we did look over everything. that's why the deliberations took so long. >> reporter: long deliberations with the victim's mother susan levy always in their minds. >> i think she has to take from this what she will. i mean, we cannot bring back her daughter. and nobody here can do anything

to bring back her daughter. and we did the best we could with the evidence we were given. >> reporter: in fact, susan levy was on minds of many people in that courtroom including judge gerald fisher. before the verdict was read the judge took some time to express his stim pat directly -- sympathy directly to susan levy, to her and her family, anita? >> delia, thank you so much. well, 9 news now viewers have been reacting to today's verdict on our facebook page. lisa johnson walker does not think gaundique did it writing where is the evidence? >> but linda beck does believe he did it and deserves to be punished. keep in mind he tried to grab another woman on the same day and he escaped. he was out to get somebody that day and unfortunately he succeeded in grabbing chandra. may chandra finally rest in peace. derek mcginty joins us with more. >> reporter: i'm joined by former son of sam prosecutor and now defense attorney jim

shal lick to talk about about what he sees here. first of all, you heard the facebook responses. i have seen a washington post web poll that say almost half the folk says they got the wrong guy here. what's your reaction. did they get the right guy? >> well, the jury said so, so we have to say yes. i was skeptical of the evidence but apparently the cell mate that testified that gaundique admitted it to him was fabulous. they couldn't shake him. they couldn't show that he was lying to get a good deal. he was -- they say he was the key. >> so he was the piece of evidence that you think turned the tide for the prosecution in this case. can we play monday morning quarterback here for a second? did the defense make any key mistakes that you saw? >> from what i know and heard, the defense did an excellent job but they had a big mountain to climb because of all the emotion, the sympathy was on the side of the government. it is a horrible crime. everybody's emotions and sympathy with the levy family, so the defense had a big mountain to climb. >> we just heard from the

jurors who seemed to say this was very hard. they had to look hat a lot of evidence and deal with it. the surface of things. you couldn't drill down. you had what you had. what is your sense in how well they did with handling that. >> apparently there were disagreements because it took three-and-a-half days to reach a verdict. but the fact he attacked two women in a similar place in a tim fashion and they had the chel mate that said he did it, they put it together and said there was no other conclusion they could draw. >> that being the case is there a chance for an appeal here? >> absolutely, derek. this will go on for years. it is quite possible this case could be reversed because letting in the testimony of the other two women who said he -- they were attacked by him was so prejudiceial, an appeals court could say the prejudice outweighed the probative value. that could be reversible error. >> it wasn't to show he was a bad guy. it was to show there is pattern here, right? isn't that allowed. it is allowed but you also have to weigh the prejudice of such testimony. and could an appeals court say

that the prejudice outweighed the probative evidentiary value. that will be a key issue on appeal. >> we appreciate your insights jim shalleck. i am sure that is something nobody wants to see except perhaps the convicted defendant but we will watch and see what happens. appreciate it. stay with 9 news now for more reaction to the chandra levy verdict coming up tonight at 6:00. we will hear from "the washington post" journalist who helped police build the case against gaundique. breaking news in northwest washington where one person is dead after a fire at the intersection of 16th and oak street. >> the blaze broke out just before 3:30 this afternoon. emergency crews were called to the scene by a passerby who saw fire and smoke shooting out of the top three floors and the roof. now there is heavy damage to the home. 16th street is closed between newton street and arkansas avenue northwest. at this time, all we know about the victim is that he's an

while one of them stabbed him in the heart. two young men have been charged with his murder. >> he's gone. there is nothing to bring him back. nothing. he's up there. i mean, i understand he's in god haneys, but he's gone. >> he was just -- he's in god's hands, but he's gone. >> he was just a precious sweet boy. and the loss to our school community is un10able. >> manassas school superintendent stayed students and teachers needed counseling to deal with their grief at losing such a nice boy. one woman fainted at the vigil that was surrounded by police officers keeping watch. they spotted a young man and took him in custody. he is a person of interest in what is being called a retaliation stabbing saturday night at a shopping mall. that left a 19-year-old man wounded. as far as the boy who was killed goes, friends say there is no way miguel hernandez was in a gang. police aren't so sure. >> he has family members that

are gang participants, however we're not positive yet of his participation in the gangs. >> tell me how you know that? >> one time me and him were making a joke and we were talking and i was like oh, yeah, let's go be retarded and like let's go throw up these gang signs and he said no, i don't do that. i was like it's just a joke. he was like no, that's dumb. he taught me to be better. >> reporter: we have been told that it may be that those gang members were looking for miguel's relative who apparently is in a gang. when they couldn't find him, they got the next best thing. now the two suspects who have been charged with miguel's murder were arraigned this morning and they are being held without bond. i am peggy fox, live in manassas, lesli back to you. a new government report shows pulling child cold and cough remedies from store shelves has cut bad reactions in half. we will look at home remedies

travelers hitting the road this thanksgiving holiday. won't find any relief at the gas pump. the average price of regular unleaded is now $2.87 a gallon and in many place drivers are already paying well over $3. that rise in gas prices could mean less money available to spend on holiday shopping.

nothing affects consumer psych more than ups and downs in gasoline prices. you drive down the street, that price is in your hate. that has a big hit to the collective psyche. >> every penny we get above $3, takes money from the american consumer. whole sale gas prices have shot up 27 cents a gallon since september 1 and oil prices continue to rise because of the declining dollar. travelers taking to the skies for thanksgiving are anxious about security procedures in place at airports coast-to-coast. an internet movement is gaining popularity to have people opt out of body scans. joel brown is live at reagan national where that could cause more long lines and big delays on the busiest travel day of the year. >> anita the obama administration was doing all it could today to tamp down this planned holiday rebellion of air travelers warning peaks that a protest would only make

matters worse. flying with three kids is never easy. tina dell zappo is doing it on one of the busiest days of the year. she says the security has her anxious. >> my kids don't like walking through security. they don't understand. >> reporter: on a busy holiday travel week those complaints are getting louder. body scanned likened to a digital strip search. >> i think the body scanners are invasive. >> for those who don't want body scans the option of a full patdown isn't sitting well either, but the tsa and white house say only a small percentage of travelers are patted down, as part of an effort to keep everyone safe. >> we must do everything that we can to protect the public. >> the latest cbs news poll shows four out of five americans support the new screening. but opponents are using the internet to organize a boycott. protesters want people to ask instead for those patdowns, but experts say even if a small percentage of people participate on wednesday, the

security screening lines could get chaotic. >> we hope people will not opt out. >> reporter: faced with a potential cascade of thanksgiving flight delays from new york to los angeles, security officials are rethinking their new procedures. >> our ears are open, and we're listening, we hear the complaints. >> reporter: tsa warns that big changes aren't coming in the near future. advising holiday air travelers like tina del zappo to allow for plenty of extra time and patience. so as tsa reevaluates procedures, lawmakers want to have their say as well. anita they are promise be capitol hill hearings on the controversial new techniques. >> certainly a story that has legs. joel brown thank you so much. it is important to note that most air passengers will still walk through metal detectors when they travel. only 69 airports across the country will have these full body scanners. that includes reagan national, dulles and bwi marshall. but even at those airports not

every air traveler will have to go through one. all body images are viewed in private. the assisting officer cannot view the image and the officer viewing the image is in a private separate location, never seen by the passenger. all those images are deleted. passengers will only have to go through a full patdown if they refuse the full body scanner. if they set off the scanner's alarm, set off the metal detector, or are randomly selected. if you are chosen for a patdown, you need to empty your pockets and let the officer know about any hidden medical device. those patdowns are connected by an officer of the -- conducted by an officer of the same gender. request a private screening or have someone with you if you like. the tsa says children under 12 who require extra screening will receive a modified patdown with their parents' super vision. a colorado man has something for people dreading the full body scans at the airport. the inventer says his specialized underwear is designed to get threw the inspections with -- through the inspections with dignity in tact. the men's design has a figure

leaf while the women's comes in the shape of clasped hands. jeff busque says his product is about protecting passengers from the dangers of radiation. >> the object is not to make money but to protect the public, educate people, and ultimately see these -- these x- ray machines put in the dumpster. >> the inventer sent samples of his product to the tsa and so far the agency says, no comment. it is going to be one of those interesting weeks. >> isn't it though? >> getting in line, going through security. >> i am done pro creating so i don't need a figure leaf. >> thank you for sharing, topper shutt. topper shutt! >> incredible at sharing even more information. >> let's switch to the weather. >> you think so? >> i think so. >> we talked about last week being trouble in parts of the country but not around here which is good. we will start with our current temperatures. first we will take you out to seattle. check this out. that is seattle. doesn't snow very often in seattle. remember, they are by the

water. water, you know, moderates climate. okay? and they had -- i mean, snow on the road. that is pretty thick snow. temperatures held in the 20s yesterday. probably holding at 20s to -- mid-to-low 30s tomorrow. right now, we are mild on the other side of the spectrum. 57 in bethesda. 59 in arlington and downtown. still 59 in bellsville. 60 in laurel and out to the west we're talking 56 in reston and 61 in leaseburg . look at the jet stream. these are current temperatures. see this dip in the jet stream, notice how it is north of us. that is why we're warm. notice what a dip it is out in the west. that is why seattle is 32. great falls is 2 below and bismarck is 9 above. so, essentially this isn't going to change too much. a piece of this arctic air will kind of break off but the brunt of the arctic air will not make it into the metro area for a while. nice travel day. tuesday, mild. a few afternoon showers. tuesday night some showers and then clearing. wednesday is going to be much

small craft just yet but i think it will be choppy. next three days, 64 tomorrow. cooler on wednesday, showers, a bit milder on turkey day. now the next seven days, by friday, cold rain sets in. 52. bright but brisk over the weekend. at least it will be nice on saturday and sunday. those temperatures though, remember, those 30s are downtown temps. saturday night and sunday night, the 'burbs will be in the mid 20s. temperature looks a little higher on friday. initially you had us in the 40s but, you know, we're coming up a little bit. >> yes, yes, you're exactly right. took it away. >> that's right. >> took it away. up next, a celebration turns tragic after a stampede at an annual festival in cambodia.

59 downtown. 58 out in leesburg . off to the north and east, it is still warn. 57 in laurel. 56 in beltsville. now, satellite picture radar combined. zoom out to the northwest. we showed you snow earlier in seattle. it is bitterly cold out here. this is colder than it normally is in january, let alone november for these folks. we will move a little further east, here's the cold front, going to roll through. that will produce showers and thunderstorms tonight. looks pretty impressive now but by the time it gets to us tomorrow afternoon, evening, it will lose a lot of its punch. so just a few showers tomorrow. looks like it could be a wet commute tomorrow evening, not tomorrow morning, though. just a few clouds right now. just high clouds and winds should keep the fog from developing. nice travel day on wednesday. mild tomorrow with a few showers late. showers end tuesday night. cooler but nice on wednesday for travel day. and turkey day, wet but milder actually. for tonight, look for -- partly to mostly cloudy skies.

breezy and mild. mid40s to low 50s. that is a bargain for november. lows tonight, 46 in gaithersburg but 52 downtown, and 46 out to the west in middleburg and leesburg . now let's talk about the next three days. 64 tomorrow. few showers. sun to start, though. cooler, bright but brisk on wednesday. a little milder on thanksgiving with a few showers, mid 50s. next seven days, it will get colder again. looking at cold rain on friday, chilly over the weekend, with temperatures in the low 50s. i may actually have to knock those down a little bit. lows in the 30s and those are downtown temps which means lows in the 20s saturday night and sunday night. a wee bit milder next month with sunshine. >> we do stay mild, though. >> thanks. brett is here. who are these guys we have been watching we call them the redskins but we're a little confused. >> i think the whole fan base is confused. do they stink as they did last monday night? or do they have hearts which they displayed a fair dose of yesterday. i think we would all agree. let's be honest.

after last monday night any redskins' deficit of less than 28 points at the end of the first quarter would have been a total moral victory. but the redskins did better than that. they went into a hostile road stadium and despite losing eight players to injury during the game they found a way to win. greg tolen has more from redskins park. >> despite the injuries too many to count. >> i never seen anything like that where we came in the game already banged up. >> reporter: the redskins overcame adversity from every angle to win yesterday at tennessee. today mike shanahan praised those who filled in. >> i think you saw, you know, yesterday, a bunch of players step up, and they proved they could play. >> reporter: the redskins proved they weren't the same team that got embarrassed last monday night. a defense that allowed seven touchdowns against the eagles gave up none against the titans. >> i knew chris johnson would get his yards. we knew vince young would try to get out of the pocket but they didn't get in the end zone.

>> reporter: donovan mcnabb showed he can run the two minute offense. more importantly the offense found a way to convert third downs. an impressive 8 of 16 for a team that was under 22%. >> wasn't just one unit here or this guy here. i thought together we were able to pull it out. >> graham ganof pulled it out. after missing the game winner in regulation he got his chance at redemption in overtime and made good on it. >> just going back to fundamentals knowing i am confident i am a good kicker. >> reporter: redskins' fans had an extra bounce in their step, elated their team was able to pull out the victory. >> a good start to get back to where they needed to be. >> it was great come back. yeah. i think they move forward from there, this point on. >> reporter: yesterday's win helps the skins head in the right direction. but they know it was only one step. >> obviously enjoy this for a little bit but prepare for the next opponent. so, you know, you can't dwell on this too much. >> reporter: greg tolen, 9 news now. london fletcher talking

about preparing for the next opponent. the next opponent is brett favre and the minnesota vikings. >> they didn't have such a good game the other day. >> you think we have chaos here, they have complete and utter chaos and a new coach as of this morning. we will tell you about that at 6:00. thanks. coming up next, on this 47th anniversary of the jfk assassination, we hear from two men on president kennedy's security detail who haven't spoken about that day until now. and coming up new at 6:00 -- >> she was walking alongside georgia avenue when police say she was dragged into the woods and raped. i am lindsay mastis. coming up, police release a composite of the suspect.

stocks lost ground to start the week on wall street. the dow finished the day 25 points to close down at 11,178. the nasdaq was up 13 points. and the s&p 500 fell 1 point. today marks 47 years since the assassination of president john f. kennedy. now the secret service agents who were on jfk's detail that day are breaking their silence. brian todd has the dramatic revelations. >> they are a pair of stoic grandfathers. gerald blaine and clint hill carry themselves in that upright tradition. have that bond that only secret service agents know and still have vivid memories of that clear crisp day in november nearly half a century ago. >> we couldn't help but we felt like we failed. we all had the same mission, and it was a terrible feeling. >> blaine gives riveting new

accounts of that period in his just released book the kennedy detail. he reveals how less than 24 hours after john kennedy's assassination, he almost caused another unspeakable tragedy. blaine stood guard outside lynn don john -- lyndon johnson's house in the early morning darkness. exhausted on edge he heard approaching foot steps and readied his sub machine gun. >> i put it to my shoulder and steadied my feet and around the house, i recognized right away it was president johnson by his profile. >> johnson had just come out to get some air. >> how close did you come to shooting him? >> my finger was on the trigger. it -- i -- i had nightmares about this for months afterwards. >> reporter: johnson, he says, turned white, said nothing, and went back in the house. i spoke with blaine and clint hill just a few feet from john kennedy's gratify. hill wrote the foreword to blaine's book but has rarely

spoken about that day. >> you a tough time in the years after the assassination after your resignation. can you talk about about what you went through? >> i had nightmares, and seemed like every time i turned around there was something that reminded me of what had happened. and so i just -- i clammed up and went in my basement with a -- some alcohol and? cigarettes and stayed there for a few years. >> clint hill was the first secret service agent to get to kennedy's car in dallas. he broke into a sprint after the initial shot was fired. he says if he could relive those moments, if he could jump on the back, maybe two seconds earlier. >> without a question, i would be taking a bullet for the president and be dead. >> reporter: you think that would be happier ending if you weren't here to talk to us? >> it would be a happier ending for the country and for everybody. >> reporter: how do you feel about that? i mean, that's a tough thing to live with for a number of years. >> well, it is just one of those things that you do live with it.

you have to accept the fact that you had a certain responsibility and you failed in that responsibility. so, you just have to accept it and live with it the best you can. >> reporter: hill says he still goes through periods where he's almost unable to talk about the assassination. he brushes it off when people call him a hero. heroes, he says, are people who are able to do extraordinary things in and quote, unfortunately, i was unable to do that. brian todd, cnn, arlington, virginia. thank you for joining us for 9 news now at 5:00. 9 news now at 6:00 starts right now. a prosecutor told chandra levy's mother today sometimes miracles happen. right now at 6:00 someone has finally been found guilty of taking her life. this afternoon a d.c. superior court jury convicted ingmar gaundique of murdering the 24- year-old intern. he was found guilty on both counts of felony murder. even though er
