begins march 26th, 1995, when police discover a badly decomposed body near a highway overpass in rocklandy, new york. the victim is identified at local transient, 39-year-old dana blaze demarco. >> dana was sort of a free spirit, described as an artist, a drifter, so it would be very likely that she would have come in contact with mcfadden. >> eventually, we would learn through the autopsy that she was also killed with blunt force trauma, a fractured skull was found. >> there's a couple of indicators from the crime scene that suggest that mcfadden is involved. one is the type of injury, the location of the injury, the severity of the injury. as i understand it, there was a piece of jewelry that was found with other jewelry possessed by mcfadden that belonged to dana. >> dana's body is found not far from where mcfadden left robert silk's body. it's also a mere quarter mile from where mcfadden lived at the time of his arrest. but all this circumstantial evidence isn't enough to charge mcfadden with dana demarco's murder. >> whether reginald mcfadden will ever face trial in this case is hard

. >>> in the mail bag tonight, reaction to a story we did friday on a place called rockland, california, where they are considering a ban on smoking outside even on your own property. darryl from lorton, virginia, says he doesn't smoke, but that sounds like crazy talk. prohibiting someone smoking from one's home is crazy. also producing toxins and carcinogens and in far greater quantities. all in favor of banning those activities raise your right hand. i don't like cigarette smoke, but let's be real. this is all sparked by one family that was annoyed with a neighbor for smoking outside his home, but you have to think there was a better way to deal with this than create a new law. and then there was this on the continuing rage in afghanistan against this country over the burning of the koran despite numerous apologies from the president on down. john from lorton, virginia, says something is very wrong with this picture. we mess up, accidentally burn the koran. the president, half the department of defense apologizes and they shoot two soldiers and threaten to kill the rest. since the afg

now, speaking of a birthday, bobby kemp, station 13, rockland county, happy birthday -- anne arundel county, happy birthday to you. temperature right around 50 degrees. it will be mostly sunny outside, slightly cooler temperatures than what we had yesterday, but no complaints whatsoever. by tonight that temperature will be right around 34 degrees, increasing clouds and still chilly. and as we move into tomorrow, the clouds will be hanging around. we do have a late shower possible with that temperature coming in right around 48 degrees. and here's a check of that seven-day forecast for you as we will have the showers possible on both days. but, again, i really think that we should stay dry for the most part and we will see much more sunshine as we work our way into next week. let's get a check of that traffic now with angela. good morning. reporter: good morning to you, lynette. got rid of the beltway accident, but picked up another one in the city. st. paul street is one way southbound. once you pass north avenue is where you'll see a collision. here's a live look at the beltway at t

in rockland, california there was a proposal before the city council. catch this, all right?ing in your own front yard. let me tell you, if anybody tried to do that to me you'd have to pry my dead fingers off their neck after i broke it. i got a question here, and they won't let us smoke in all of these places, hotels and restaurants and bars and places. now, where do you think you should be able to smoke, eric? >> i think you should be able to smoke in your own home, in your back yard, in your front yard. i just, you know, listen, i'm a free smoker guy. >> so you say bars or whatever you want. >> i don't care-- >> dana. >> i think that smoking section in a bar or restaurant is like the peeing in the end of the swimming pool. >> ooh. >> you can't separate it. like if you-- >> what? >> you know if kids pee in pools, and you know. it goes, like a smoking section of the restaurant it's not walled off. have you ever seen the places in the airport and europe. >> like a glass cage you can go in and basically like all filled with smoke. >> and cool, like a bunch of prisoners getting

there are a number of alternatives to address flight delays without requiring that people of rockland to bear the burden. . the noise and air pollution will increase. it's unknown how it will affect childhood asthma in my district. i believe it's clear the airspace redesign will result in the decline of quality of life for my constituents in suburban rockland county and what for? the expected result of the ill-advised plan is a reduction of delays, an average of only three minutes per flight. that's not good enough for the inconvenience it's going to cause my constituents. the modernization of our aviation system is necessary to bring it into the 21st century to keep pace with the increased number of flights and to also maintain our technological advancements by implementing new equipment to keep our system the safest in the world. while nextgen is important to upgrading our system, it should not be exempt from environmental studies, which this bill makes it. finally, i want to echo the words of the gentlewoman from new york, ms. slaughter. i am also strongly opposed to the changes th

one rocklanded neck to a crib. the teens are remorseful and didn't think they could hurt others. they threw the rocks while speeding through the neighborhood. a photo of that vehicle led to the arrests. >>> one person was arrested at a santa rosa high school after police say he pulled out a machete during a fight. police say around 8:30 last night rival gang members confronted each other in the stands of the football field at elsie allen high school. a witness says they saw someone pull a machete out from under his clothes. police say school staff reacted quickly and were able to subdue him before anyone was hurt. that person was taken into custody but police say several other people involved in the fight left before officers arrived. >>> next week a judge ruled on what evidence can be used in the 5:30 case against sheriff sheriff ross mirkarimi. prosecutors released photos of has wife showing a bruise on her right bicep. allegedly inflicted by mirkarimi during a new year's eve fight. the photos came from a video shot by lopez and her neighbor. the defense is seeking to exclude t
