in 1983 in hour county brochu pleaded guilty to two counts of sexually abusing children in his care. the arrest record reveals that he was in the air force at the time based at ft. meade in maryland. brochu is not listed in maryland's sex offender registry likely because his crimes dated back to the 1980s and the registry was not available to the public until 1996. in the newsroom andrea mccarren, 9 news now. a firefighter being praised tonight for his life saving efforts during raining fire last night. captain scott -- a raging fire last night. captain scott kilpatrick's story from prince george's county. >> reporter: there's a saying in the fire service your most important call is the next one and no one knows that more than fire captain scott kilpatrick. >> i was praying god, get me

candidate is more likely to return us to full employment. this is a clear choice. the republican plan is to cut more taxes on upper-income... people and go back to deregulation. that's what got us in trouble in the first place. president obama has a plan to rebuild america from... the ground up, investing in innovation, education... and job training. it only works if there is a strong middle class. that's what happened when i was president. we need to keep going with his plan. president obama: i'm barack obama and... i approve this message.

federal reserve chief ben bernanke calls the current stagnation in the labor market a grave concern. speaking at a symposium in jackson hole, wyoming, bernanke says the fed is prepared to do more to spur stronger growth. however, he stopped short of explaining exactly what that action might be. an innocent teenager shot and killed inside her own bedroom in prince george's county, police say they are using every resource to try and frac down whoever killed amber stanley and -- track down whoever killed amber stanley and today officers are scouring that kettering neighborhood on the same day the young woman was laid to rest.

>> reporter: i'm surae chinn in kentland, maryland where family and friends are saying good-bye to 17-year-old amber stanley who was gunned down in her home while police search for her killer. >> i'm hurt because i can't stop the little ones from hurting. i can't make it right. >> reporter: amber stanley's aunt can't explain to the children and their family why their loved one's life was snatched from them. >> no peace because we don't know if they're coming back. >> reporter: today the family had to say a final farewell to the bright talented high school student from kettering. while they celebrated a beautiful life, they know the ugly truth that the killer hasn't been caught. while saying the painful good- byes prince george's county police cadets returned to amber's house and the surrounding neighborhood to comb inch by inch for any missing clues. >> we have information that suggests the suspect in this case left on foot down chartsey in this direction and that is why we've expanded the crime scene search. >> reporter: in kettering,

maryland, surae chinn, 9 news now. you want to show off what you know about the national mall? a nonprofit group is looking to recruit dozens of volunteers to guide and inform tourists. the trust for the national mall wants to expand its core from 35 to 100 people and they're hoping to have those new recruits in place in time for the january presidential inauguration. after a two year multimillion dollar facelift the lincoln memorial reflecting pool is open again. look at the fence, it came down earlier today. those renovations include a brand-new pool structure, state of the art circulation system. the pool's water from the tidal basin. now before that rehab the pool had to be emptied and cleaned twice a year and if could get kind of green and nasty -- it could get kind of green and nasty at times. if you're looking to hit the road this labor day weekend, right now is about as good as it gets if you want to avoid the traffic. the best time to get out of town, friday after 7:00, saturday before noon and d.c. itself is a pretty popular destination spot.

you might want to watch for congestion around our town and if you are leaving town, you ought to plan on having a lot of company. >> we're projecting about 800,000 people leaving town, 700,000 of them on the roads. >> so there you have it. higher gas prices have some folks hopping on the bus to get out of town or just skipping their get-aways altogether. apparently not many with 700,000 people. >> no. not many. having some clicker problems. i'm going to bring both. 97 today, so our 44th day of temperatures 90 or higher since june 1st. it is a blue moon. you can go to our website. i finally posted the blog, www.wusa9.com, as too why they call it a blue moon. let's start with a live look outside, very nice evening, a little bit on the hot side.

this is our live weather cam brought to you by michael and son. temperatures are still pretty toasty, in fact, looking at temperatures still in the 90s. neither one of these things are working. okay, here we go. i'll press them both at once. i might explode and vaporize, but i'm going to press them both at once anyway. i haven't vaporized yet. my time is a going. there we go, 93, dew point 62. dew points have come up, but it's still very comfortable in terms of humidity, winds southwest at 10, pressure falling, 30.00 inches of mercury. here is what's left of isaac hammering northern missouri now and actually headed for southern iowa. this is good news. they've had no rain in southern iowa much of the summer either and some of the showers and thunderstorms go as far east as eastern kentucky. we have talked about this yesterday. even though the center of isaac will be well to the west of us by the time we get to sunday and monday just enough energy and moisture there to give us a couple showers and thunderstorms.

we are clear right now looking -- actually in fine shape now, clear skies. it's still warm. temperatures, 88 bethesda, 90 great falls, 86 vienna, 90 in arlington, 94 in college park, 85 in bowie. let's talk about what we can expect, a great night for baseball, i mean perfect. 92 first pitch 84 last pitch winds west, northwest 10 to 15. it's a great night for whatever you want to do, go see the nats, take a walk. it's not humid. isolated storms tomorrow, but don't change your plans and more storms on sunday and even more storms on labor day of clear to partly cloudy tonight, breezy, mild, 68 to 74, not as cool as last night. we had some low to mid-60s last night, gaithersburg, rockville upper 60s tonight, 69 reston, fairfax, sterling. downtown is in the low 70s. tomorrow morning mostly sunny, breezy, warm, 70s and 80s,

perfectly respectable and by afternoon we're looking at temperatures around 90. it's going to be kind of hot but just an isolated shower or storm possible. do not cancel those tee times. never. next three days green tomorrow, code green, 91, but we'll go code yellow sunday and labor day, 86 sunday, primarily afternoon storms and labor day storms can occur at any time. next seven days showers and storms could linger tuesday and wednesday and even into thursday. by thursday a cold front rolls through. that should clear what is left of isaac completely out of the eastern seaboard, leave us with a nice friday next week. in our weird news file you know how sometimes people will pant size about being at their own funerals -- fantasize about being at their own funerals. that, of course, is quite unlikely. however, here is the next best thing to the rugged southern island of iceland where a woman on a tour bus went missing and search and rescue spent hours looking for her and then they

realized she was actually on the tour bus and had, in fact, taken part in the search for herself, yeah. somehow officials thought the woman failed to get on the bus and reported her missing. the real issue was that somebody miscounted the number of folks and that was compounded by the fact when they described the missing person, the woman didn't realize they were talking about her. afterwards somebody heard her saying so you guys really miss me, huh? >> where is topper? where is that great guy? >> we want to hear what you think. send your e-mails to mcginty's mailbag, the address mailbag@wusa9.com. 9 news now will be right back.

ahhh, now that's a clean mouth. i just wish it wouldn't fade away so fast. let me show you something. [ dr. rahmany ] as soon as you leave here... plaque quickly starts to grow back. but now there's a way to keep the clean longer. introducing new crest pro-health clinical rinse. it's a clinical breakthrough that actually keeps your teeth 91% clean of plaque at 2 months after a dental visit.

plus, it gives you these key benefits. new crest pro-health clinical rinse. crest. life opens up when you do. also try new crest pro-health clinical plaque control toothpaste. in the mailbag tonight we got a little reaction to mitt romney's big speech last night as he accepted the gop presidential nomination. john from lorton, virginia, however, seemed skeptical about

it. i'm supposed to believe we should take blind faith in the economy that is driven by what housewives want to buy that is made in the u.s. or not, the same economy that chopped my retirement fund in half, a five- step plan that will save us all but he didn't say how? i'm starting to get a little nervous. is this the best the rnc can do? but the major league reaction was out on the wusa9 facebook passenger and that all circled around actor director clint eastwood and his empty chair routine that took everybody by surprised, steven called it quite bizarre, rambling and puzzling. it was a bad idea. maybe it sounded good before, but it sure did not deliver. oh, sure, there were maybe one or two zingers, but the whole thing was like small town bad theater, but jay arrowwood called it brilliant. if you didn't get it, you never will. the chair represented empty ideas, the president that is never around for the american people dodging of questions, empty hope, empty promises. well, all i know is whatever you think about eastwood's act

there is the doubt that it at least temporarily stole the thunder from romney's big speech. as of today most everybody is sort of scratching their heads talking about eastwood. from that perspective alone it was a terrible idea. it's almost always, though, a good idea to write me in mcginty's mailbag whether you have a question, comment or even something you like. the address is mailbag@wusa9.com. that's our report. i'll be along with anita at 11:00. we'll see you then. bye bye.

now, "entertainment tonight," the worldwide leader in entertainment news. clint's speech. the story behind the rnc moment everyone is talking about. >> what do you want me to tell romney? i can't do that, can't do that to himself. >> his empty-chair interview, was it all unscripted? the romney camp's reaction backstage. plus, did he take the spotlight away from mitt as the stars let loose on twitter. >> go ahead -- >> all: make my day! then, star disasters caught on camera. justin bieber's concussion. prince harry's nude photo scandal. randy travis' naked arrest. >> i just found a guy laying in the road. >> the moments they wish that you didn't see. stars fallin
