marianne? >> reporter: investigators are convinced that whoever may have abducted sierra lamar knew this area very well which is why they have now expanded their search to local waterways. the search for missing morgan hill teenager sierra lamar expanded to the water today as members of the santa clara county underwater search and rescue unit used a zodiac and kayak to check ponds near sierra's home. given the dense brush, often a kayak search was the only option. >> by boat we're able to see things either in the water or close to the water that are visually unable to be seen by the people on the ground. >> reporter: divers will only get in the water if they find significant evidence. sheriff lori smith says the investigation is focused on the morgan hill area. >> we believe that the person is familiar with the area, is known in the area. we believe this was not a planned crime. it was a situational crime. it was instinctive. it was fast. >> reporter: deputies also used dogs to scour acres near se sierra's home. the 15-year-old was last seen march 16th. sheriff smith says both sierra's mother and father took polygraph tests but won't comment on results. nearly 300 volunteers from the community also came out today to search fields near sierra's home. >> we live somewhat up her way and just the idea after girl missing in our town here in morgan hill which small as it is sucks and we really feel that everyone in this community should get out and look for her. >> reporter: ted love lives in morgan hill and says he won't let his daughter haley play outside by herself. so far volunteers have found 150 items of interest. now sheriff's investigators are looking at every single one of those items to see if they may be possibly connected to this case. reporting live in morgan hill, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. >> okay, thank you, marianne. new details tonight and a courtroom snag in the san francisco mass murder. prosecutors are outlining details of last week's killing. the suspect in the case binh thai luc, made his first appearance in court today. he was arrested over the weekend following the grisly discovery of five bodies in a home near san francisco city college. in new court filings today prosecutors say the murders were committed during a burglary. also today public defender jeff adachi asked his office represent luc. a possible conflict of interest because they recently presented luc brother who is a potential witness in another case. >> i'll let you know he's a hard working man, a man who works in the construction trade. the family and friends that we spoke to are shocked that he's in this position. >> the court put off arraignment to tomorrow morning to give adachi time to make his case. the man is being held without bail. >> the san francisco district attorney's office is charging luc with capital crimes. that means if convicted he could face the death penalty. however, based on the d.a.'s track record, it's unlikely he'll pursue the death penalty in this case. nbc bay area's jodi hernandez joins us now in san francisco. jodi, will the d.a. get any public pressure on either side of this debate? >> reporter: well, i'm certain he will get a lot of pressure. san fr san francisco hasn't sent anyone to death row since 1991 and though the killings of five people have shocked the community, chances are it won't result in a death sentence if the suspect is convicted. binh thai luc charged with five counts of murder with special circumstances, charges that make him elliigible for the death penalty. >> truly if there was a case that deserved the death penalty, this is it. >> reporter: father of poly klaas says in his book seeking the death penalty is a no-brainer. >> anyone vicious enough to wipe out an entire family, to absolutely murder five people in cold blood, deserves to stand for the death penalty. >> reporter: though the killings are horrific, district attorney george garcon says it's unlikely he'll pursue the maximum sentence. he has gone on record saying he's philosophically opposed to the death penalty and would support abolishing it in california altogether. >> i hope that he keeps his electoral promise that he is not going to look for the death penalty in any case. >> reporter: a victim outreach coordinator for an anti-death penalty organization and the niece of a murder victim says seeking executions isn't the answer in any case. >> it really doesn't serve us as a society to be vengeful, you know. an irrational act, what this man did, was absolutely totally horrific. it's a completely ir rational act. why are we as a society going to react in the same way? >> reporter: the track record seems to support that anti-death stance. in the past ten years not a single person has been sentenced to death in san francisco county. while alameda county has sent 16 people to death row over the last decade. >> if i were a cold-blooded killer, i would choose victims in san francisco because i know they might go lightly on me. >> reporter: while there's plenty of debate whether the death penalty is a deterrent, san francisco's leaders have been reluctant to support it. the mayor says it's important to let the investigation unfold. >> there's plenty of time to discuss that in the future. right now i think i'm just focused on making sure the police have had a complete effort to do their best job possible because public safety is really my number one concern right now. >> reporter: it will likely take some time before a determination is made on whether or not to seek the death penalty in this case. i must point out though california has sentenced some 44 people to death over the past decade, the last time somebody was actually executed here was in 2006. reporting live in san francisco, i'm jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. going public. we may soon know more about the police pepper spray incident that became a rallying cry for the occupy movement in california. an east bay judge says the task force investigating the pepper spraying of students at a uc-davis rally last fall can can release its report about what happened. but before it is released, all police officer names must be removed. the move to make that report public saying it would compromise the privacy and the safety of its officers. the judge says the

city of san jose says it's in dire need of street repairs and it might look to taxpayers to fund it. they've taken step number one, making a list of the worst streets in need of the most work. one of those streets on that priority list, damian. >> reporter: the city spends about $18 million a year in street repairs. city leaders tell me they need to spend about $100 million to keep up with that maintenance, something that they're not sure where they're going to get. they might need to go to t taxpayers if they can get that kind of money in this case. so until it gets that money, some of these streets might be neglected. take a drive on any of san jose's 2,400 miles of road and you're likely to run into one of these. just ask glenn heinrich. >> you think you're dodging one and all of a sudden, boom, you hit another one. they have to do something about that. >> reporter: the city grades 21% of san jose's roads as poor, and if nothing is done about it the transportation director says that number could more than double in the next few years. and that might mean higher maintenance bills for commuters. >> yeah, right along here on the right lane it's really bad. my car is really low to the ground, so i feel them all. >> reporter: now the city will designate 400 miles of road as part of a priority street network meaning they will get all the attention. that includes what's called grand boulevards and main streets, downtown, shopping malls, and auto rows are also part of the plan. the network includes bikeway and bus transit corridors and all six lane thoroughfares. that means city crews like this one will have to put this pothole on st. james street on the back burner. and with the recent rains, that could mean the increasing potholes on thaneighborhood strs will have to get overlooked. whatever it takes to make sure he doesn't get an unwanted bill from his mechanic. the idea is in the preliminary stages at this point. but when you need $100 million a year 0 to keep up, something's got to give. we're live in san jose, i'm damian trujillo. >> cal train is heading for a makeover. in the next eight years or so cal train track also become electric making way
