she had stopped by his place on her way home after dropping off anita. later that night, it was ben who called police to angie's condo. what got their attention was not just what ben said, but how he sounded when he said it. >> her car's there and she won't answer the door. >> does he sound frantic? panicked? investigators didn't think so. >> coming up, police start focusing on ben. but soon the list of suspects gets longer. >> he's a pretty scary guy. he's creepy. >> when "in the middle of the night" continues.

anita, back to you. >> gad advice. thanks, anny. 9 wants you to know what we found at a convenience store. tonight's food alert includes rats, roaches, mice, and outdated meat by a store that was passed by district inspectors. >> what you'll see in that video even shocked us. we were inside that district store just over two minutes, what's worse is, they have been caught before. that video in a moment, but first, we have more closures in the district and in montgomery county. the food truck is a regular at georgia and coolsville in silver spring. inspectors shut it down, siting food at unsafe temperatures. here, they shut down a food court restaurant inside this asian market. siting flies and other violations. we went inside with an iphone camera. we took pictures of the flies, but that's not all we saw with wings. >> we snapped photos of the insects in the food court, a bird landed just a few feet away. days prior, inspectors sited dirty utensils, saying they refused to throw out ten gallons of soup stored at room tem

there are many pictures of anita in those family scrapbooks. unfortunately my father hated his older sister, rather than getting to have wonderful times of gertrudestein in mexico, all i heard was she is a monster. they didn't speak. the idea of her, the largeness of her loomed large in the house. >> so you start out, you become a writer for all of these reasons and you are someone who compulsively takes notes and packages what you see in story form, as you decide you are going to climb into your own life and own family story, how did you figure out what was true? >> that was a tough one. first of all, being a reporter, so often it is about a way with of finding our own stories and the stories we write about. one of the aspects so interesting for so many of us, if you are an introverted extrovert or shy person or rather hidden asking questions is a great way to hide. if you are writing a memoir, it makes you scour because you care about being accurate. this was complicated because i worried about this for a long time, who was right? who was wro

anita shows distribution, most of us in here. you get anybody out here who is externalizing or anyone out here who is internalizing, as a psychologist, we try to bring them back in here so they're more healthy. that's what we study. when you're having problems in your life or any other area, if we can do something, talking to you versus talk therapy or medicine that might help you, what we're trying to do is get everybody back here so we're just kind of more balanced. with respect to the traumatic brain injuries and other types of things, that's much simpler for people to kind of understand that you had a concussive event or you had a t.b.i., traumatic brain injury, that's caused problems. we should be developing ways of helping to manage and treat those problems just like we do individuals who have the other types of problems. >> let me just add one thing there, which is it's a good question, but it highlights one of the challenges of introducing neuroscience today in the courtroom. at kent showed you some of his slides and ment

absolutely, anita. it was n february that patricia cook was gunned down, killed by a police officer here at the catholic school. well, since her death, her husband gary cook had gone public demanding answers from the police department. well, tonight he too, is dead. >> i'm frustrated. i'm sad. i'm fighting bacteria right now. >> reporter: that was gary cook back in february following the death of his wife patricia cook. she was shot by daniel harmon-wright outraged in him facing murder charges. according to virginia state police, cook was found dead inside his apartment on tuesday after a maintenance worker had gone inside. investigators don't suspect foul play. during an interview earlier this year, cook told 9news he had multiple health issues. they're trying to figure out if he died from natural causes or if this was a suicide. >> so the ambulance people went in. they were in there maybe 10 minutes and then they walked out and they said he's dead. >> reporter: neighbors like kelly step who lived next

anita? >> let's get the latest on that, matt. topper is tracking a new batch of thunderstorms and let's find out what we're talking about for the morning commute as well. >> reporter: these storms are between fredericksburg and richmond moving north to the west of town. let me show you the radar. we added lightning on this. you can see these are pretty heavy. the chance for heavy thunderstorms, anything that develops over the next couple of days will produce heavy rains. the atmosphere is totally saturated. these are the storms between richmond and charlottesville. we'll zoom in a little bit on live doppler. you can see around warrenton and south you can see big thunderstorms moving to the north and east, headed toward leesburg and warrenton and points in our western suburbs. wakeup weather, slight chance of a sprinkle. in the 70s by 7:00. 74 to 80 with some breaks in clouds by 9:00. we will come back. we will talk about where these storms are going to go overnight and if another batch will come in just in time for your evening c

i very much agree with anita's point that a lot of the neuroscience right now works quite well at the group level and has not yet been shown to work particularly well at the individual level, but having said that, i think that there is, again, a legal necessity issue that is presented. if you go back to graham versus florida it is true that justice kennedy and the supreme court, the majority of the court said that you cannot impose life without parole for a non manslaughter offense for an add less is sent and therefore, he drew the line's did in roeper versus simmons at saying that at less sent are simply different. their brains are different than adults. they're less developmentally mature. what happened to terrence graham? he got sentenced. he didn't get sentenced to life without parole that was now unconstitutional. if you actually read what happened at the sentencing hearing for terrence graham, there was, again, dueling psychologists with a scrist and the state sigh kentucky scrist made the claim he was suffering from anti-personality disorder and in his view, no one recovers fro

we have anita, lesli, j.c. hayward, and we have a lot of love from our facebook friends last week for keeping it real. let's get started with the real topics we got for you. we are up to rhode island where they have banned those traditional father, daughter, mother, son activity. a single mother complained they wouldn't let her daughter go. now no more. next, i guess no more rope climbing because the one arm guy couldn't participate. >> shame, shame, shame on the school. shame on the school for not allowing this girl to attend. you know, i don't know why she doesn't have a father, maybe he served in the war, maybe he died. maybe they are divorced. she should have been able to attend with her mother if she wanted to. >> i'm sensitive about that. as someone who grew up with a single parent for a while. i can understand the mother's concern about this. and i can understand the child's concern feeling like, you know, she might be left out. but you bring in a father figure. that's when the school says you know what?

we've talked about this, anita. hate the idea. >> i think it really steps over a boundary and i am all for women being able to have the choices and medications and all the things they need for family planning. these are not women. these are children and to sidestep the parents and not to even let them know. what if that child is in maybe an abusive sexual relationship and comes to you for plan b? as a mom don't you think i might want that on my radar? you really are sidestepping parents here in an egregious way. >> let's just get to the brain development. we know that adolescents and their brains aren't even fully developed at this point, not until their 20s and 30s. we're saying we trust you to make the best decisions about your body when we know that you don't have the capacity to make those kinds of decisions as young people and really if we're not there as their guides, we're not doing our part. so i really think that this is going way too far. >> so what about the question of parents who are not trying to help

anita. >> we'll have to wait and see what happens. thanks, matt.ke to him, and you can see that entire interview on sunday on 60 minutes right here on wusa9. >>> new tonight at 11:00, a memorial service is planned for neil armstrong next week right here in washington dc. it will be next thursday at the national cathedral and it begins at 10:00 a.m. and it's open to everyone. it will be streamed live on the cathedral's website and that sa's website. arm -- nasa's website. armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, and he died last month at the age of 82. >>> let's find out if we have to worry about any storms affecting the morning commute tomorrow. chief meteorologist topper shutt on the weather terrace tonight. >> i think we'll be okay in the morning. we're tracking a couple of showers west of town. i want to start with temperatures. it is indeed human and summer like. 79 in gaithersburg. 79 in manassas and leesburg and frederick. now, remember those numbers. what does it feel like if you factor in the humidity? it fields like it's 87 downtow
