Burntorange car. We are not excluding anyone in this. Obviously, as far as we can find now, he was the last person with hannah, so the focus of our investigation. Reporter police put out this wanted poster today, because they no longer know where Jesse Matthew is located. Saturday he and family members came to Police Headquarters and asked for a lawyer. Police found one, but matthew then left without answering questions. Later that evening, elsewhere in al bemarl county, as state police watched, matthew drove off at a high rate of speed. That led to these two reckless driving charges the police will now use to arrest matthew, if they can find him. We want to speak to him, because, again, he was the last person we can show was we know was with hannah graham. So he has got to have information we need, and is very frustrating. Reporter its been three days since Jesse Matthews landlord has heard from him. We were with her when she entered his apartment following the police search. And while Francis Lee Van Dell says while he was far from an ideal tenant, she is surprised to hear him called a person of interest in Hannah Grahams disappearance. Im horrified. Im in shock. Reporter do you believe he could have anything to do with her disappearance, or do you think its unlikely . He seems a mild man. Not that you know, not violent. But i dont know. Reporter now lets take a closer look at that wanted poster of Jesse Matthew. 62 tall, 270 pounds. Police believe he may be in a light blue Nissan Sentra with tags va c4575. Police say further that obviously he has contacts in virginia, but also has associates or contacts in maryland, the district of columbia, pennsylvania and new york.

Former army veteran Omar Gonzalez appeared in federal court a short time ago. The prosecutor called him a danger to the president and ordered gonzalez held without bail until it his next court date. The first family was not at the white house at the time. The Security Secret Service has tightened security after they say gonzalez made it all the way across the lawn into the white house. Agents stopped him just inside the door. How could it happen at one of the most carefully protected buildings in the world . The secret service is facing tough questions after the embarrassing incident. And now theres talk of new check points and tourist screenings. News4s Mark Segraves is live outside the white house with reaction from local leaders and folks who work around there. Mark . Reporter thats right, pat. You can see lots of tourists out here on the plaza today. But this is also a popular thoroughfare for locals, pedestrians and cyclists cut through all of the time. And it wasnt too long ago you could drive your car down pennsylvania avenue. But after a man hopped this fence on friday and made it inside the white house, secret service says they are now considering adding check points where people would have to be screened before they walked down here. Theyre even considering closing off this sidewalk. The Security Breach friday night wasnt the first time someone has jumped this fence. Its happened more than 100 times since the 1970s when a man was shot and killed after he jumped the fence. After a plane was flown into the white house in 1994, the secret service moved to close pennsylvania avenue to cars. It had nothing to do with pennsylvania avenue. But they seized the moment and closed pennsylvania avenue and then said it was all based on what happened in oklahoma city. Reporter now after fridays breach, there have been news reports that the secret service wants to increase security outside the white house. Including adding check points where pedestrian bags would be searched before being allowed to walk through the plaza or park. It would be terrible. First of all, the message it sends about, you know, a dangerous environment right out of the box i think makes it a terrible idea. This is our Nations Capital and its up to all Law Enforcement to make it safe for everybody. Obviously, the security of the president is foremost in our thinking. But im confident that the secret service could come up with a better plan. Reporter on capitol hill today, delegate Eleanor Holmes norton fired off a letter to the head of the secret service, asking they reconsider anymore security that would impact visitors. Im very concerned that theyre already floating check points to get into where, the outdoors . You know, weve got checkpoint to get into buildings. Now were going to have check points to get in front of buildings. Reporter and its not just lawmakers who are upset about the possibility of being kept further away from the white house or having to go through another security checkpoint. I hope it doesnt happen. Weve got too much security already. I think theres a lot of security to put on pedestrians and citizens of the district. Reporter now officials with Homeland Security and the secret service say theyre going to review everything that went on here over the weekend, and then consult with congress and the white house before making any changes to security. Of course, d. C. Officials would like to be part of that conversation. Now coming up at 6 00, how americas main street went from becoming open to everyone to possibly becoming an enclosed security zone. Reporting live at the white house, Mark Segraves, news4.

Reporter well, good evening. We are next to one of the entrances to the 495 express lanes. They are being underutilized during some of the hours of the day, especially lunch time. So the private company that operates those express lanes is coming up with some innovative offers to try to get you to use the toll road. We mounted a camera on our hood and drove the 495 express lanes at midday. There were only a few cars with us. At the same time, the nonexpress beltway lanes were filled, but moving at speed with no backups. Depending on the distance you drive, express lanes cost up to 3 for the midday trip. Reporter theyre trying to get more people to use the 495 express lanes. What could they do to get you to use them . I dont know. Because its an extra charge for that. Reporter transurban is the private company that separates the 495 express lanes. It recently mailed this offer to Northern Virginia households to entice more drivers to use 495 express lanes.

Reporter the 495 express lanes opened two years ago this november. Transurban tells us, in the june 2014 quarter, there were 43,325 workday trips.

Maybe two to three times a week. Reporter what would get you to use them more . For it to be cheaper. Reporter and because of the high cost, some drivers are cheating.

Its not tax time right now but there is a scam out there that involves phony irs agents. The scammers have targeted people in montgomery county. One person was out 3,000 after the crook asked the victim to buy green dot cards at a safe way in rockville. Heres how it works. The scammers pose as irs agents and tell you there is a warrant out for your arrest. And youll get served unless you cough up some cash. These crooks sound convincing and they are. They are good. We all must Work Together to educate and protect one another. So be on alert, be mindful of what is happening. And be mindful of those you talk to on the telephone. These con artists have scammed people out of millions of dollars across the country. The irs says it never calls taxpayers by telephone for taxes od odor or threatens arrest.

And look at the wind gusts, up to 25 Miles Per Hour in washington. 25 in hagerstown and over 20 in leesburg. So its definitely been a little bit on the breezy side. All in all, not too bad. 74 currently in d. C. 63 though in hagerstown and 72 in frederick. So you see the cooler air thats going to continue to make its way across our region. Take a look just farther back to the west. Thats 63 in hagerstown. 57 in pittsburgh. 57 in state college. So its going to get really cool overnight tonight. I would say most of you will be in the 40s overnight and into early tomorrow morning. So what to wear tomorrow. I think tomorrow youre not going to need the umbrella. Youll need the jacket, though. Maybe the long pants for the first time if youre sending the kids off to school. They may need the pants. Maybe the jeans early. Because tomorrow will be a chilly day. How chilly . Well, nothing around our region, but there could be some frost way back toward the west.

No problems. Tomorrow, plenty of sunshine wins again. Just a few clouds. Here comes the storm system during the day on wednesday. Notice the clouds early wednesday morning, stocked in with theclouds. And then here comes the rain late into the evening. And look at 9 00 on wednesday night. We could be inundated with some rain out there. We need to see some rain, and this system could give it to us, both wednesday and thursday. So were still monitoring this situation, see exactly where the storm sets up. Some of us could be in for some good rain. So 70 degrees tomorrow in leesburg. No rain tomorrow. Plenty of sunshine. High temperature around 73 in the d. C. Metro area. Some of you staying in the upper 60s. 75 on your wednesday with that 30 chance of rain late and overnight a really good chance. Same deal goes for thursday with a high of 72. 76 on friday and not quite done with the warm temperatures just yet. I think we get back up to 80 degrees on saturday and summed sunday. And next week looks really warm. So for now on the cool side for a couple days. Thank you, doug.

The giants reporter okay, they looked good yesterday. The giants were pretty good yesterday. The answer to your question is yes, they absolutely have enough talent on their team. But they have to find a way to win as a team. They have to understand who they are as a group of players and team and have confidence to finish a game. We have seen two games so far this year that in my opinion we should have won. And there isnt quite that killer mentality mindset that says well take this game over now. Well take it from here right now. Reporter all right. So the redskins will face the giants on thursday back at fedexfield. Special teams.

Police found 800 rounds of ammunition inside his car. We have learned hes a veteran who was arrested back in july in virginia. Nbc White House Correspondent Chris Jansing was at the white house when the Security Breach happened. Chris, tell us what it was like that day at the white house before all of this happened. Reporter what happened, jim and pat, was unprecedented, because i was down in the press area, and people were yelling that there was a jumper. That is not unusual. But they said he had gotten inside the white house and we couldnt believe it. That has never happened before. He ran across the lawn behind me, went up the steps to the north port i co and went in through the front door which was obviously unlocked. That raised a whole lot of questions, because there are so many protocols in place to stop Something Like that from happening. There are k9s trained to knock and hold people down. Why were they not released, why were snipers not used . Those questions being asked by a lot of members of congress who are actually going to come back and have hearings on this coming up. But weve also learned that Omar Gonzalez was known to authorities. Back on august 25th, he was stopped along the south fence of the white house. He had a hatchet that he was carrying inside pants. He was allowed to leave. On july 19th, he was arrested while speeding and was part of a chase there. He had a large number of weapons with him, including two sniper rifles, five handguns. But the only illegal gun was a sawed off shotgun. Were also told at the time he had a map of the d. C. Area, pointing to the white house. And so a lot of questions are being raised about why he wasnt on their radar and, of course, the big question, how did he get over the fence and go through the front door. That door is now locked. You mentioned stepped up foot patrols, stepped up surveillance. Also conversations about should they do something around the perimeter of the white house, should people have to go through security. So many people, hundreds of people every day to take tours of the white house. Are they going to have to change those protocols. But there is an investigation that is ongoing. There is obviously a sense of urgency, although the president when asked about it today at an event having nothing to do with this, obviously, said he has confidence in the secret service. We do know, though, that on friday night and not surprisingly, he was updated on a regular basis several times throughout the evening. And throughout the weekend about this ongoing investigation. Pat and jim . Nbcs Chris Jansing live at the white house. Very frightening day on friday. Thank you for sharing your perspective with us too. We appreciate it. Sure. Police believe they are zeroing in on a dangerous selftaught survivalist accused of ambushing two state troopers and killing one of them. Eric frein has been on the run in pennsylvania for ten days now. Over the weekend, police found an Assault Rifle in the pocono mountains. They dont know if it belongs to frein. Police believe he planned had been planning his attack and escape for months, or maybe even years. They warn that frein is armed and dangerous, but they believe hes targeting Police Officers, not civilians. It is our conclusion that he is aimed totally at Police Officers, because there were unarmed civilians who right in the exact same location. During the course of the shooting. And he chose not to shoot at them. Frein is now on the fbis ten most wanted list. Thousands of residents were ordered to lock down after the shooting. Today some students were able to go back to school. There is extra security and children will have to stay inside all day. Were learning new details tonight about that deadly tour bus crash in delaware over the weekend. The bus left washington, d. C. And was heading up to new york city when it flipped over here on sunday. A woman from new york and another from turkey were killed. Dozens of other passengers, including the bus driver, had to be hospitalized. State Police Say Drugs and alcohol were not factors in this crash. The ntsb is now investigating just what happened. They have served their community for more than 30 years, but now this haven for some is going to have to shut its doors. And a new study that is shedding some light tonight on what expectant mothers may be able to do to reduce the risk of autism. Sunshine and a cool night tonight. But then we look down to the south. Take a look at all this moisture down around florida and georgia. Going to try to move our way. Ill show you when it could get here and what to expect for the rest of the week coming up in my forecast. Doctors say iron is crucial to early brain development, and that may explain the results of a new study. The study shows a link between low iron levels during pregnancy and autism. In the study, women who have low iron were five times more likely to have a child with autism if the mother was older than 35 when she gave birth. Scientists say obesity related hypertension and diabetes also increased the risk. Its where they have gone to battle addiction, to recover from abusive relationships, and at times just to get off the streets. But after 35 years, rachels center, a shelter for homeless women in northwest washington, will close its doors for the final time next week. News4s Zachary Kiesch explains why. I am grateful for rachel because they have done enough for me. Reporter rachels women center has been supporting homeless women since 1979. Regina allen is one of them. I had both. I had a breakup and i had addiction. Reporter for many this brownstone on 11th street in northwest d. C. Is the only home they know. But after 35 years, they announced last week theyll close at the end of the month. Thats our number one concern, is where are these women going to go if these doors close. These women to be an extension of anyones family. Reporter packed did you feel backs at the door reflect the transient community they serve. Sheila cain used to be one of them. I didnt know that you could be clean and sober after being addicted to so many various things. My life is much happier now. Reporter today she is in her own place with the help of rachels and so is she. Both rely heavily on their support. Im going to cry because im saying goodbye. Reporter a pillar in the d. C.

How is it offensive . Coming up, how south park is entering the discussion over the name controversy. Imagine billboards like these lit up Like Television screens around principle john, gorges county. Gorges county. Gorgin Fairfax County we had to cut a lot of waste. We consolidated offices.

We even discovered that the phone company overcharged us by three Million Dollars i approve this message because congress doesnt need another right winger. They need someone who can balance a budget. Oh, and we definitely didnt need so many government studies. Now to the Billboard Backlash playing out in Prince Georges County this week. For years, residents there have called the signs an eyesore. But now there is a new plan to make them even more visible. Bureau chief Tracee Wilkins is live now with both sides of this controversy. Tracee . Reporter well, jim, this is a county that does not like billboards. And in the 90s, they moved to actually stop new billboards being built. So if you see a new billboard like this one, its not new. Thats why some are saying why update them . We want to see them go away. In the early 1990s, there was a push to phase out billboards in Prince Georges County, some feeling they were eyesores. So no new structures have been built since. Which is why some are confused about a new push to modernize some with l. E. D. Lighting. Its like a giant Television Screen in the sky. It just doesnt make any sense. Reporter a proposed bill due to be reviewed by a county Council Zoning committee tomorrow is pushing to turn some old billboards into l. E. D. Signs. The Clear Channel Outdoor Company is behind the bill being introduced by Council Member andrea harrison. We understand the Outdoor Advertising industry. We would very much like to see this happen, because they would reap financial benefit from it. But why they would do it in the county is beyond me. Reporter a spokesperson with Clear Channel Communications Released this statement, saying, digital billboards are a vital resource, providing local businesses and not for profits with affordable advertising while allowing Law Enforcement and Emergency Services to communicate important and timely messages. I would like to see the bill disappear. Reporter he and other neighborhood associations are planning to fight the proposal. Particularly the proximity to so many residential communities, never mind distracting driving going down the highway. Its just unacceptable. Reporter a spokesman with Clear Channel outdoors tells me there will be no animation and these boards will not be moving messages, but will be static messages on l. E. D. Screens. Now, they also say these screens can help to save lives and be very useful in emergencies. The Council Member says thats why she is supporting it. Well have more on that coming up on news4 at 6 00.
