11:07 pm
like what's going to happen in a week. and so that's really hard for me to kind of get my mind around. >> reporter: jayna also sent her brother a hat. just another way she showed her lasting love. one last parting gift her brother will hold close. >> it just kind of confirmed she was thinking about me and that she really cared and not that i had any question in that. >> reporter: lesli foster, 9news now. >> lululemon plans to renovate the store where jayna was killed. just yesterday britney norwood was charged with jayna murder. tonight, the fbi is trying to figure out who sent more than three dozen white powder filled letters to dc schools. postal inspectors were able to grab four more letters. six others had to be picked up all around the town. the district went into a bit of
11:08 pm
a panic after the letter senior first popped up with a total of 29 of them being found by the end of the night. law enforcement sources believe that the suspect may be the same guy who has been mailing out similar frightening but apparently harmless letters going all the way back to 2008. >> they want to insight fear and targeting schools is a very good way of doing that. >> you have someone who is disturbed like this and they send these letters after to schools and as you were saying to hospitals and governors. it is just a very disturbing thought and i hope they go out and find that person. >> the police believe the suspect has mailed hundreds of letters to governors, hospitals, schools, federal agencies all around the country. postal inspectors say their ability to trace letters back through the mail stream has improved considerablely since the anthrax attacks of 2001. three restaurants are back open tonight three weeks after being flooded out with water from the potomac. >> kristin fisher was there the day it happened and is back there tonight.
11:09 pm
how does it look night? >> reporter: well, it looks a lot better than it did but there is still a lot of work left to be done here. i mean, remember just 18 days ago right here the water was as high as this table almost and then just behind these posts behind me the water was standing 8 feet high. i'm about 5'6" so you can get a good idea of what water 2.5 higher than my head would look like. but for the most part here the feeling tonight is that things are starting to get back to normal. that is, of course, once you get past a few glaring reminders. a charcoal grill is about as high tech as it gets outside nick's riverside grill. >> we are really basically doing just a simple hamburger. it will be like an outside grill like your barbecue, backyard barbecue. only a little bit nicer and certainly really, really delicious stuff. >> reporter: gregory is one of the owners. >> an enormous amount of work just to get the patios open.

11:11 pm
ahead of us and really that's what i'm trying to focus on is getting ourselves back to where we were. >> reporter: now even though gregory captain says he hasn't thought about doing it, other people certainly have. in fact, a dc law firm has filed a $5 million lawsuit against mrp reality and that suit was actually filed on behalf of a bartender here but so far restaurants have not signed onto that lawsuit. >> thank you, kristin. good to see them back open again. for a look what we can expect tomorrow night let's go out to topper on the weather terrace. >> certainly for march for babies, 8:30 a.m., 9 a.m. the walk starts. temps on the cool side to start. not that bad. 46 to 56 at 6 a.m. 8:00 a.m. you're in the 50s. by 10 a.m. you're in the 50s and 60s. golf, anyone? we will come back and talk about mom and where the showers are going to end up on mother's
11:12 pm
11:14 pm
stafford county, virginia. take a look at him. weaving in and out of traffic making his moves and not all that smoothly. he loses control. he spins out. then the man jumps out and tries to get away on foot. you know that never works. cops have an eye in the sky that helps the police eventually get to him and they take him down. police say the suspect's name is william monopoly on theft for grand theft auto chasing him this time for armed robbery. kevin bacon may be time to dust over those dancing shoes. freedom high school in loudoun county is putting strict limits this year on how girls can address and couples can dance. remember no sexually suggestive grind on the dance floor. no dresses with your open backs
11:15 pm
or plunging necklines. before the students can come into the prom they will have to sign a form agreeing to these rules. we spoke with the senior class rep who supports all of this and a parent who doesn't like it. >> it is uncomfortable especially for people who don't dance like that it is uncomfortable for us to watch. >> the dancing gets a little ridiculous but, again, that's what the chapperons are for to tap them on the shoulder and say knock that off. >> some students have decided to hold on alternative prom. dozens of students are already behind that idea and they have even got some parents on their side. with mother's day just around the corner a local family is honoring marianne myer. she has been here since 1959. she had it make it through the holocaust. she shared her childhood diary sharing her story about what happened to her and her
11:16 pm
parents. >> my parents were sent away and they wanted me too by my father told them i was on vacation. i wasn't there. and i was sleeping on the top floor. they just put them in the gas chamber. >> meyer's survived by escaping into switzerland before that. she taught french at the university of maryland and she is now retired monday lately derek has been giving that question a whole lot of thought. >> it is almost mother's day again and once again i am short one very good mother. i guess i could be angry or bitter that mom passed away six
11:17 pm
years ago but the reality is we had an amazing run. she joyfully raised the three of us with help from dad and people still stop me on the streets to tell me they took a class from my mom, dr. mack as they called her and i feel so proud and frankly blessed because she taught us so much more. still, there is this sunday thing and while i admit it is a bit of a relief to ignore all the commercials and not have to search around for just the right gift there is really no substitute for that hug from a woman who just loves you more than you'll ever know. now as many of you have sadly learned mother's day is not the best without mom. still, i figure i am one very lucky man because even though i'm not buying cards or flowers, i have a whole heck of a lot to celebrate. happy mother's day. >> thank you, derek. she would be proud. all right. for the most part it will be okay. some showers in the forecast but not going to be a washout. it will be mild. it will be nice tomorrow morning. >> okay. >> walk for babies.
11:18 pm

conference he welled up with tears and had to stop but he gathered this to say this about his 22 years about being the head terp. >> went through the whole spectrum of what can happen when i came here. it wasn't very good. we had to work really hard to get it good. we went from there to being able to win a national championship. >> a good friend and always had your back. no matter what kind of criticism you get from the media or from anybody he is always there for you. >> it was just so motivating to see a coach genuinely believe that we were going to beat whoever stepped on the court. >> and names are already being floated as possible successors. arizona's sean miller will meet with maryland officials as early as this weekend. notre dame coach mike bray is also on the list. bray was born in bethesda and played his college ball at gw. colonials named a new head coach in the next 24 hours arriving. he was an assistant at maryland under gary for a year. led dc's catholic university to a division 3 title in 2001.
11:26 pm
he grew up in bowie, maryland. last year's nats would have blown tonight's game. they scored a run in the top of the 10th to go up 3-2 but then the marlins led off the bottom of the 10th with two hits and had a runner on third with nobody out. a runner on third with nobody out is like an automatic run in major league baseball. look what they did. tying run like we said on third base. right back. holds the runner at 3rd. throws to 1st. that's one batter out. wees helms. two outs. which point sean burnett replaces him and on one pitch gets chris coughlan to go out. >> tonight we only had to go about half a mile down nebraska avenue for wilson hosting cooligde. wilson is real good. they don't need this kind of
