" i'm like, "you talk, " you know? >> but the more halee's mom thought about it, the more she worried what might happen to halee if she spoke out. thaddeus had a bad reputation around town. halee could be poking a hornet's nest. >> she absolutely could have. >> if she starts making accusations. now halee was dead. and heather wondered if her fears had come true had thaddeus killed halee to shut her up? >> i just felt like you know, he was looking at some pretty serious charges if i had to think of people who had reasons to hurt her, that would have been number one. >> the day after halee was murdered someone sent heather this snapchat video. it was thaddeus brandishing a gun. you got that video, so that must have really heightened -- >> oh, the video was -- >> -- your suspicion. >> huge. i was positive at that point. >> he did it. and heathe

let's bring in our investigative reporter, jaxon van derbeken. what was today's letter? was that a surprise to you? anyone following this in. >> in a way, it was. there was already a letter like this threatening pg&e with another step toward the public takeover. now this adds to it, by talking about ongoing lapses, things that are happening right now, like clearing vegetation away and meeting targets like that. >> how long is this going to go on? pg&e already on probation. what's the next step for regulators? we can't just keep doing letters. >> that's true. and i think what's going to happen if they find there's a pattern that they're going to step up enforcement dramatically and make pg&e sign things under penalty of perjury and just basically put their feet down and make sure that they do comply. as it is, they are already on probation. so at some point, regulators are going to have to ramp this up. >> is this a weeks-long or months-long process? >> it's going to take some time, they could skip some steps so it's probably months. and depending on what finding they've

jaxon van derbeken has been on the forefront of this story for year. a lot of money involved with this, a lot of lawyers and a lot of really talented engineers working on this. what happened? >> it looks like they just didn't really understand what was going on underneath this building after all this. you know, they, this fix is supposed to run about $100 million, and we've seen a number of studies that said that they'd done all the calculations. they'd done all the planning, gone through all the hurdles. it took years, and yet it seems that when push came to shove, when you got down to the bottom of this building, they just can't trust the soil underneath it. and that's apparently what happened here. the building just started sinking dramatically, an inch in a matter of weeks, which seems like not much but translates to five inches leaning at the top. >> a lot of high-profile people live in that tower, athletes. what's the response from the homeowners? >> they don't know what to think. they went through litigation, got a settlement. there's a lot of s

. >> jaxon van derbeken has more about how pg&e didn't do inspections to catch it in time. >> the rotthorough, it looked like what was left of the inside of the pole you could crumble with your hands. >> reporter: former utility commissioner sandoval is talking about the inside of this power pole that fell in danville last year, hitting a roof and sending live electrical lines plunging into bob chase's pool. >> they said it's not uncommon because the poles are very old. >> reporter: it's just one of more than a half million poles pg&e has told regulators could be at risk of failing because of undetected rot since the utility quit using a preservation method and decided to rely on periodic inspections and spot treatments to deal with the rot instead. but our revie view shows the risks of that strategy. crews kwies declared the power pole had 100% wood strength without digging all the way around the base, because they were blocked by a fence even though they require a full 360-degree, inspection. they say inspections are deemed complete inspections. >> so they don't just get to incomple

jaxon van derbeken has more. >> reporter: it's officially called the perimeter pile upgrade, an ambitiousix to shore up the 58-story millennium fire along fremont and mission street. something has gone seriously wrong, and the fix may be making things worse. the problem appeared soon after crews began to drill three-foot-wide holes to install piles along fremont street to support the building. the fix relies on new piles being sunk to bedrock and attacked to the foundation to prevent it from sinking further. but since work started in may, the building has suddenly shrunk a full inch, which translates into five more inches of leaning at the top. >> that is disturbing. >> reporter: david williams is a structural engineering expert who specializes on deep foundations and bridges. >> the trend is very disturbing. >> reporter: it raises questions about how much they really know about why the building is sinking, especially since it started when crews only drilled halfway down to bedrock. >> it's not understood what the mechanism that's controlling the settlement is. it's very risky playing aro

jaxon van derbeken has been on top of the story, what do the new reports reveal? >> it shows the complexity of the problem. they thought there was one set of piles these casings that they had sent into the ground was the problem. and then they decided they would stop work there and they would focus on another set of narrower piles that fit inside them, but that nothing they did seemed to stop the problem. so they ended up realizing that there was more than one factor involved here. and it makes it even more difficult to figure out what to do now. >> i don't want to be too pessimistic here, but what's the worst case scenario, is it possible this high rise tower gets condemned at some point and people have to move out? >> we asked that question today to some scientists who know this material, structural engineers. they basically say the building will be safe until essentially it's not. you've got a leaning building, and it could continue to lean and probably won't, they don't believe it's at risk of falling over. they have questions about how far this is going to be
