Last seen in her room in september at San Francisco general. Her family has been posting fliers across San Francisco hoping to find her. But tonight they are facing the possibility that she has been here the entire time. It is frustrating to be 19 days into this. Reporter outside San Francisco General Hospital where his friend Lynn Spaulding was last seen three weeks ago, david perry wants answers for a family desperate for word. Lynns daughter is obviously traumatized. Reporter hospital staff admitted the 57yearold with an infection september 19th. A nurse saw spaulding in her hospital bed and 15 minutes later the patients cell phone was in her room and the patient was not in her bed and spaulding has not been seen or heard from since. Her family launched a search and this morning, San Francisco General Hospital found a womans body in a fourth floor exterior stairwell. A devastating discovery for spauldings daughter. Its difficult getting a call from someone saying we think we found your mothers body and spending the day by the phone hoping for information. Reporter perry says the medical examiner is telling the family it will take time to identify the remains. So for now, loved ones are left with horrible uncertainties. Spaulding is either still missing or worse. I cant imagine many things more horrible. For her friends and her family to consider about her body being abandoned there for 19 days. Reporter the spauldings have more questions than answers about what happened to a woman who was vivacious and larger than life. But one thing is certain, someone died in a hospital stairwell and San Francisco general has questions to answer. Tonight the San Francisco Police Department and the Sheriffs Department are investigating this case. The discovery of the body raises tough questions about how thoroughly the hospital was searched when spaulding disappeared. Reporting live in San Francisco, jean ellie, nbc bay area news.

As we speak the as are mid flight coming home after a heard breaking loss in detroit. Heres where we stand. This thursday night in oakland its the fifth and deciding game against the tigers and gives a National Audience a heavy dose of east bay pride. Not just for the as but a time for oakland to shine. You got that right. I was talking to as fans and they are describing their teams with words like blue collar, gritty and get it done and say thats a reflection of their city. At this sports bar, as fans were down after todays loss but not for long. Moments after heart break there was hope for thursdays game. Im going to see a lot of oakland energy. Im going to see the as playing their brand of blue collar baseball and bringing home the win for oakland. I love it because i live in oakland and grew up watching the as. A lot of people couldnt talk about the as without talking about their city. The sports bar owner loves the team and the fans for the green and gold he brings to the business. The as are consistent and last year they made the playoffs and financially, they were a windfall for us. Some of the beer sold comes from a brewery that is not far away. I think they are doing better than they thought we would do without any marketing or advertising behind us. Reporter the brewery founder could be talking about the as but he is talk about his company, starting with the playoffs, his beer, made only in this brewery in oakland is for sale in the o. Co.

Some of the key findings from a report that outlines the failings of the state agency that regulates Hazardous Waste. Vicky nguyen started to expose the problems in february and has highlights from the report released today. Reporter it took ten months to arrive at key conclusions about the dtscs permitting process. It lacks a standard process when it comes to how regulators issue permits. They found that the permitting decisions are not made on a timely basis. Permit renewals take an average of 4. 3 years from start to finish. It paints a grim picture of the way state regulators keep tabs on the 117 companies that handle 1. 8 billion tons of Hazardous Waste each year. The department does not have enough staff. There are just 29 people. And the staff they have is poorly macked. Between 2009 and 2013 there was a fouryear period in which district surpgs of personnel lapsed. In august we sat down with the executive director. I would suggest and agree that our permitting program is not operating as effectively as it could. Reporter critics are not satisfied with continued lip service. They point to Evergreen Oil in newark saying they have a history of leaks, spills and explosions. Last month a tank overflowed spilling up to 100 gallons of fuel. When you look back at the Company History it hasnt faced any significant sanctions for being a serial polluter. Why is that . Evergreen is under careful scrutiny and attention from our department and other entities. When you look at a company like evergreen its a complicated industrial setting where you have a number of agencies looking at and making sure that evergreen is compliant. A spokesman for Clean Harbors which bought evergreen said that the company is committed to bring the facility up to best in class within the industry as a viable, safe and compliant operation. So now what happens . The report recommends adding 35 more employees in the permitting department and clearly stating the departments objectives and purpose. They are scheduled to post a web response in november. We have a leavening to the review on our website, www. Nbcbayarea. Com. Click on investigations.
