prosecutors say huffman kept driving.ny pieces of glass, plastic and paint, along with the passenger side mirror, were left behind, identifying the make, model, and color of the truck. when he got home, he told his girlfriend that he had hit a deer and removed the broken headlight and replaced it with the headlight unit from his other truck. he fled the state the next day, driving 1,000 miles to tennessee, hoping the case would blow over and be forgotten. but by this time, too many law enforcement agencies were looking for him. >> all the planets were aligned because it was every single little piece of evidence together that made this such a strong case. and it just -- everything fell into place. >> the paint chips at the scene fit perfectly to huffman's truck. and the truck's grill also matched rafael's injuries. >> you could almost compare the height of the grill on that truck to the height of where the bruises were located on rafael and they matched up almost perfectly. >> in february of 2006, robert huffman was tried

andrew huffman. >> andrew huffman is the biological father of the 4-year-old little boy that jack and linda have custody of. their relationship was strained from the beginning. >> huffman had refused to pay child support for johnny. >> andrew did not like my mother. she made him very angry, because she would not let him be around johnny. it escalated to just a heated argument. and he threatened to kill her. >> after an exhaustive search, investigators found andrew huffman in another state. >> we were able to put a timeline together. he was placed at his own residence in kentucky. would not give him enough time to get up to greenville, ohio. >> so huffman was eliminated as a suspect. another family member holding a grudge was jack myers' 25-year-old son, greg. greg was divorced and going through some financial difficulties. he was missing work due to some drug and alcohol problems. his house was about to be foreclosed. so he asked his father for help. >> he didn't come out and say, no, i'm not helping you. it was like, greg, stay off the drugs and alcohol, go to work every day, pay you

huffman. mr. huffman: thank you, mr. speaker. at this time i yield myself three minutes and would reserve the balance. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. huffman: thank you. mr. speaker, we have heard a lot about a three-inch fish in this debate and in fact i hear my colleagues on the republican party tell it, this is a story about a three-inch fish that is taking water away in this critical drought that should be allocated to people. well, the truth is, mr. speaker, you'd have to have the brain of a three-inch fish to believe that narrative. there is no such thing happening in this critical drought year. what is happening, however, is some people are cynically trying to capitalize on the worst drought in california history in order to steal water from some parts of the state and from other water users and give it to a few. in fact, if this bill were accurately named, it would be called the massive federal preemption overreach and theft act for the elections of 2014. but it is in fact pretending to be s

. >> secretary huffman, thanks to your comments. mike dorsey in july voice similar comments. i assume i want to highlight some important things in that work. i assume you agree, if you want to comment on it that the a shouldn't have to affirmatively find unreasonable risk as they do now under current law in order to move forward without the important in your mind? >> yes. one of the things that created more confusion in a time of uncertainty in the first 24 to 48 hours was that lack of information about this particular chemical. it was very frustrating and very frustrating to try to explain to a concerned public who has been informed they can't use their water what you don't know. they want to know what we do know and that was very little, about this particular chemical and it somewhat degraded from there but having that information about this chemicals or any chemical within a zone or range of impacting public water supply is information we absolutely must have. >> seems to me it should be a big priority. it is with me in our efforts first of all that the state have a clear

alice huffman, president of the naacp in california, she was in the audience today. she is also recognized. it's also acknowledged that this renaming is happening at a time when we're in the 506th anniversary of the civil rights movement. brown was a politician for much of his career and renaming the bridge in his name surely got political and supporters this morning acknowledged that. >> it was indeed baptism by fire. it was pure old school san francisco politics. it was classic while l. brown jr. >> reporter: now the funny thing is willie brown admits when he first heard of the idea of naming the bridge in his name, he did not want to do it. he was concerned he wouldn't get enough votes in the leag late tour and in the end he would be embarrassed. it did not turn out that way and the bridge will now be the willie brown bay bridge. back to you. . >>> checking other bay area news, the santa clara county coroner announced the death of a san jose state student was the result of suicide. the body of brendan together ands was found in his dorm room sunday. he had been a

we will start first with secretary huffman. >> thank you senator. as with most successful environmental rules and policies in this country establishing minimum federal standards for which the states must meet is vitally important. we don't want too much of the disparity across the country and how anything is regulated or see various industries moving around the country to find areas that are least regulated. the thing about the manchin boxer bill it does that of course but the other thing it does is it's the prevention piece of it. we have talked a lot about understanding the chemical and emergency response in planning and all of that but the key to this is prevention. that is what this bill does. it does other things of course but looking at it from the environment of regulator in the state of west virginia we have to keep this stuff in the tanks. if it leaves the tanks we have to keep it in the secondary containment. that can be done. we can absolutely do that and the other thing is we have to stop looking at chemicals in the form of whether it's

secretary huffman, thank you for your comments. i'll pass along my thanks to mike dorsey. i want to highlight some important things in that work. the epa should not have to find definenable -- unreasonable risk in current law to move forward. without be important in your mind? >> yes, senator. one of the things that created more confusion in a time of uncertainty in those first 44 to 48 hours was that lack of information about this particular chemical. it was very frustrating trying to explain to a concerned public -- have been told not to use their water that you do not know. they want to know what we do know, which was very little about this chemical. it degraded from there. fromg that information is information that we must have. >> also, it seems to me it should be a big priority. it is with me and are offered -- efforts. the state must have a clear role in dealing with the epa and telling them what they think should be high-priority. of healththat lack and safety information should be a cry -- criteria for priority. a factor like proximity to can be a clear factor in

huffman. mr. huffman: last time california hadded this kind of drought, we came together, i was fortunate to serve in the state legislature to work on that. national newspapers called it the biggest thing california had done for water in years. this bill repeals it. the bay delta conservation plan which my friend referenced is over if this bill passes because the premise of that plan are co-equal goalers in environment and water supply reliability and when you preempt and repeal that there's no basis for that plan to move forward at all. you better include some funding for the federal courts if this bill passes because instead of a solution, you're going to be unleashing a wave of litigation unlike anything the state of california has ever seen. it's going to hurt the san joaquin valley and every other part of the state that needs constructive solutions not a new water war. we have deference to state of california and all other states in administering our water system. that was made clear by chief

this afternoon, ron huffman had three calls to install more locks. >> people are aftraid to open u theoors and the door is the barrie barrier, and they are trying to find an avenue to recognize who is in front of the door and people are calling to install peepholes. >> reporter: and as a lifelong resident himself, he feels the unease in the community, and he hopes that the police have more answers. >> well, it is a small town still to us, and i think that it shakes everybody to the core. >> reporter: shaken to the core does sum up the feeling of so many tonight, and coming up on "news4 at 6:00," you will hear from the niece of another high profile alexandria victim, and she wonders about a connection between all three killings. reporting live, i'm julie carey. >> and with what judy just said, i did happen less than a mile from the city planner ron kirby, and his murder is unsolved as is the killing of an alexandria sheriff's wife nancy dunning. and the police chief said they are looking into any similarities of the three unsolved crimes. we spoke to kirby's widow anne haynes who said t

. >> joining me now, jared huffman of california.e was in california state legislature. congressman, good to see you. first of all, let me get your response to the suit. >> well, i don't think it's a very serious lawsuit. the truth is states have every right to set their own health and safety and animal welfare standards. that has been upseld by t selhe courts and california just says they want all eggs to comply with the minimal standards that the voters established back in 2008. >> and the attorney general is worried about the kind of press departme precedent that your law would set. >> they could tell us that very with to pick our soy beans by hand or move it in solar powered trucks. >> we're not talking about arc sought or a smaller state. we're talking about one of the largest states in the country. missouri farmers, i understand it, sell about a third of their eggs for california. and would cost about $120 million for the farmers to comply with the law. how fair is that? >> well, it's very fair because what california has done

we are not making this up, and there was a state rep, representative huffman in committee who talkedf some folks only want to get rides from church to go vote, why should we have our system help them. that was a code for souls to the polls which everybody knows disproportionately african-americans use that. so it's wrong what they're doing all the way around. >> it's so transparent. >> it's totally transparent. not only is it wrong, it's pathetic. it's essentially an acknowledgment that republicans can't win by appealing to voters. >> yeah, there is that. >> they have to keep voters from going to the polls. so the further that they go down this path, the more reinforcing that pattern is. if you don't want people to vote at all, they are never going to vote for you. >> senator nina turner, thank you very much for joining us. and krystal ball, thank you for join joining us. up next, the state of a man who has invoked the stand your ground defense in the killing of a 17-year-old boy. that case is now in the hands of a florida jury. that's next. and a texas sportscaster enters the debate

. >> secretary huffman. >> thank you, mr. chairman. state of west virginia and -- i'm sorry. thank you. the state of west virginia and its department of environmental protection appreciate and welcome the opportunity to address this committee. i'm hopeful that by sharing west virginia's experience from the perspective of an environmental regulator and not a public health official, i can provide insight to you and other states as we seek to provide a more comprehensive regulation. so as to better protect human health in the environment and minimize the risk associated with the industrial activity. on january 9, 2014, they received a complaint concerning an odor around the tank farm. at 12:05 p.m. freedom industry employee reported the spill to depp's emergency response spill hotline and stated they discovered a whole in one of the tank containing four mchm. they set down the site and instructed them to take all necessary measures to contain, recover, and remediate the spill. the incident highlights an issue that exists not only just in west virginia but all over the country. a

i'd like to give credit to people like alice huffman from the naacp who has been in the forefront ofposition 19. >> recreational pot is on sale, as i'm sure you know in colorado, soon to be washington state as well. what can the rest of the states learn from these two, but also the federal government? >> one of the first things they can learn is if you look at the pictures, if you look at the videos from the first few days of sales from legal outlets in colorado, look at the hundreds if not thousands of people who are standing in line to buy legal marijuana. these aren't first-time buyers. what we've done, we've removed them from the criminal marketplace. we've separated them from the criminal marketplace where you're going to find heroin, cocaine and other drugs. in addition to that, the millions of dollars that they're now spending in legal outlets which is paying the salaries of employees who pay taxes, for instance, the first week, $5 million in gross sales is no longer going into the hands of criminals and thugs who are selling marijuana on street corners in dangerous places. it
