Ktvu speaks to a man now under arrest for two of the gypsy hill murders about the murder charges hes now facing. Authorities say dna links that suspect to a serial murder case on the peninsula dating back to 1976. Today, ktvus Cristina Rendon visited the jail in redwood city and spoke with the suspect one on one. He told her hes innocent in this cold case, but he did admit guilt for a crime in another state. Reporter our cameras were not allowed inside the jail, but i did speak with rodney harrbauer for 45 minutes this morning and showed him this paper with the photos of the two bay area women hes accused of killing. He said immediately said he didnt recognize them. He told me he had never heard of the gypsy hill murders committed in 1976 until he found out he was being charged with killing two of the five women, based on dna match. A woman convicted in the reno murder has been granted a new trial based on the evidence. Hallbore tells me he very surprised. I never committed rape or murder. Authorities believe he committed the bay area killings while out on bail for other crimes in nevada and right before he was convicted of raping a nevada woman in 1976.

He admits to stabbing a woman multiple times there, saying i was extremely desperate and insanely motivated. I wanted to get away from the crimes committed against me. I was headed to canada. He went on to say, im sorry. I wish i could take it back. So if halbore is capable of stabbing an oregon woman who survived her attack, why wont he admit to the two gypsy hill murders. Authorities say his dna was found at the bay area crime scenes. It is time to bring this man to justice for the murders that we can clearly prove at this point and bring some closure to the families as best we can. Reporter but halbore insists he was never there.

Reporter but with a Development Boom under way, a new proposal before the citys Planning Commission would allow developers to pay into a fund in lieu of building new public spaces.

Reporter not all popos are easily accessible to the public. Its been a mixed bag. Some of the open spaces are great and feel very public. Some are virtually private spaces. They are inaccessible to the public. Nobody knows about them. Reporter public spaces like the fourth and sixth floor terraces at the hotel intercontinental. The hotel is reportedly looking to pay a fee to completely privatize its two popos, which dont seem to see much traffic. It could mean the privatization, or the full privatization of some of the existing public spaces with nothing to replace them. Theres kind of more unlimited amounts of money and a limited amount of space. If you dont actually allocate the space, then why would it ever happen . Reporter the in lieu proposed amendment will be examined by the Planning Commission next month. Some recent changes to the popos law have allowed developers to alter small streets and alleyways to make those Spaces Available to the public. Frank and gasia . David, thank you.

Paul chambers is in Mountain View tonight, where he spoke to police about the bomb threat that is making this case so unusual. Paul . Reporter frank, thats the reason.

Geez yikes [ laughter ] i wanted to bring you in and say ive been leaning over that garbage can on monday. Its bad glad youre back. Its a nasty flu. I came in today. I was sick when i was a 9year old kid again. That weird sick. Definitely wash your hands. Seven days not feeling well. I feel good now. Good. Nice to have you back. Heres the deal. Temperatures on the east coast, i just show you this to represent how good we got it. Take a look. These are the forecast highs for tomorrow. Look at new york, going daytime high of a 36 degrees. Chicago, 36. Fargo at 44. Look at all the cool air out here. Its been that way for a while now. Look whats going on out west. Mid70s, low 70s, upper 60s for us. The jet stream is going to miss us in terms of rainfall. It just keeps doing this. Thats the dry pattern thats going to continue really right through the next fiveday forecast. The valley fog is there. You see it in the central valley. Had a rough time clearing today. It should clear as we head into tomorrow, and see less fog, then a little more fog returning into the early part of next week. The idea being its going to be a warmer weekend than weve seen. Certainly one of the warmer weekends well see for a while, with temperatures tomorrow into the low 70s. Then maybe even mid70s heading into sunday, which would be the warmest day on the weekend. So the High Pressure sets up. It stays warm. The winds on sunday really start to blow offshore. That creates a warmer environment. It has been a very dry january. As we get towards the end here, theres a chance as we go to early next week, for southerly moisture to bring in and bring us a few sprinkles, but not a deluge. More than likely, very little, if any. If this transpires, and this doesnt turn into anything, if we get through january this dry, it will be the driest january in most bay area cities on record. We had a wet december fortunately. Here comes that rain from the south. Thats on 10 00 on monday night. Then it kind of pulls north and you see the model going, eh, not doing anything. Tuesday night, and then its gone. Then were back to the same pattern, jet stream up over the top. 70 in valley, 67 in concord, your forecast highs for saturday. I know tomorrows going to be a great beach day. Its going to be a great day everywhere really. Its going to be nice out. Livermore, 67 degrees. Youll see temperatures out there in the mid60s, upper 60s. But if you do go to the coast, seriously, the waves get bigger. Weve seen bigger surf around here. Its not so much that. Its really the thing we talk about with the big tide swings, the rip tides, and when you bring warm water, you got almost a million People Living that close more than a million People Living close to these beaches, you dont want everybody to cool down. Its a dangerous combination typically. Keep the babies close. Thank you, see you at 6 00. An 11yearold girl is being honored for saving her grandmothers life after she had a heart attack.
