someone is. and whoever it was was long gone by the time the first employee showed up for work and found june's body behind the counter. >> there's not a lot to say about what was inside at this time. we are still processing the scene and at this time, we will say that there were no signs of forced entries. >> reporter: but there are plenty of signs as to just how much she meant to her customers. >> it's like she lost a family member. she placed the order, it will be a great loss for us. it is just devastating. >> i guess that they will know more. >> she knows about all of them by name. she knew, you know, what the drinks were with the regular, you know, what the regular foods were. she really made a big effort. that was her way of showing she cares. >> reporter: and now it is their turn to show the lim family just how much they care in june. and the front of the deli is now covered with these kinds of

signs that we will miss you, june, and they are also posting fliers for a vigil which is set to take place tomorrow between twelve o'clock to 2:00, which will be held right outside the grace deli. they are doing it there because they want to have a place and a time to remember june and what she meant to the community. but they are also hoping that somebody here will see something, somebody that saw what happened, they might come forward to tell police something because right now they have very little information to go off of, back to you. >> she certainly made an impression on that community and we certainly hope that someone could come forward. thank you. >> yes. >> and you'll need to know about the changes, what's coming on monday. if you're not familiar with the new plus, you could end up in the wrong place. she will join us live to help us understand what will be different from be metro, peggy? >> reporter: i'm on the blue line. i got on the blue line at the

end of it in virginia. and now, pretend that my destination, that it will be here at largo at the end of the blue line. come monday if i was unaware, i could get on the yellow line mistakingly and find myself in green belt. and the orange line carries more passengers out of any other railline because they get so crowded where they dubbed it the orange crush. >> sometimes you cannot get on. >> reporter: and help will be on the way for you in the largest system, rolling their first trains out. but they might leave some passengers here. >> have you heard anything about this? >> yes, just a little bit, but i saw the ads, that's about it. >> and come monday, they will give the orange line more trains during the rush hour. >> it is not that great for all blue line riders. the blue lines will be losing the trains during rush hour,

which means they will need to wait up to 12 minutes for a train. but they are bringing back more options as well. at the end of the blue line, you will also be able to catch the yellow train here. >> but it is not all bad for folks in springfield or alexandria. for example if you pick up the train in franconia, you can take the rush hour, rush plus for the yellow line train and to launch them for only a 28- minute ride. >> reporter: rush plus is also getting the orange line, an additional final destination here at the largo town center. and the yellow line, they will continue on to green belt along the green line. with the yellow trains on the green line and the yellow and blue here too, you can't rely on color anymore. >> and it just seems confusing. i feel like you should be paying a little more attention than what some people might think. >> reporter: and so you

definitely need to pay attention to the final destination. not necessarily, you know, what color you think that you are on. here we are at the station. the other reason for the changes. a big reason is to get ready for the silver line coming in here because it attaches to the orange line. and both those orange and blue lines, they share those tracks, which go under the river. they are trying to make room for that. and they need to fix that traffic jam. i'm peggy fox reporting live along the blue line. back to you. >> sounds like it could be a real time saver if you know what you're doing and where you're going. peggy, thank you. that's right. today, they officially kicked off the facelift project along the corridor. and the ddot construction project will address the blocks from 9th to 14th street. roads will be repaired and repaved. sidewalks will be widened with the new landscaping put in place. it is scheduled to be completed by next spring. a normal day across the

struggling big time today. here is a look at his round starting in the olympic club. on the second hole, tiger with a great approach shot. he sets up the seemingly easy birdie put. take a look at that. it does not get much better than that. but the birdie put, they just lift it out. not his best start, but the day would get better. another put for the birdie. this one turns right into the whole thing. they will go to one under. and then on five, a longer put, the same results, to get you to two under. they finish today, shooting 1- under 69. here is a look at the can career numbers in the 14 mayor wins. the first round score averages out to about 68.5. and all other starts, they shot around the 72. so with the 59ed today, he is on track for you and for a good weekend. that's if you can keep it up. the rest of tiger's playing group, phil mick l son and the master champ, bubba watson is

not so good. mick l son on the tee at 9. you can see it on his face. it is the first shot of the day as he loses a ball in the trees. they struggled as well, trying to get going with the long birdie put. and they finished at 8-over. and that will be happening all day for the birdie. and off the green. now, they will be sinking that one. they finish at 9-over par. not too bad. and that will be the pga tour. tiger woods and the national day will be on hand for the tournament. we've got all the angles covered beginning on monday. and then wednesday through friday night. a special wrap-up show starting at 11:30. you won't want to miss it. >> sounds great, kristin.
