A funeral was held for Carolyn Cross in northwest d. C. She was found murdered in her home in alexandria earlier this month. She was the Deputy Director of operations for the department of corrections. She worked in corrections for more than 35 years and had an impact on the lives of hundreds of people. We know that there is going to be no way to replace Carolyn Cross and what she did for this city. Mayor vincent gray brought cross family the d. C. Medal of honor. Police have not revealed a motive.

Tonight, city leaders are taking a second look at how they handled the case of the little girl who disappeared from a city homeless shelter earlier this year. News4s Mark Segraves has more. Reporter the deputy mayor defended the district over and over again, saying they did all they could, despite acknowledging some d. C. Employees knew of abuse and did not report it. You dont think that would have made a difference in the outcome of the welfare of this child . Yeah, based upon our review of the facts, no. Reporter the one bit of information the deputy mayor did provide had to do with the criminal investigation. We continue to investigate relis relishas disappearance. And charges against relishas mother and others were referred to the u. S. Attorneys office. Reporter after the hearing, graham renewed his concerns. You know, these folks appear to have no accountability whatsoever in terms of those on the ground staff who knew of a problem and did nothing. I think thats a major lapse in responsibility. Reporter as for the deputy mayors, they wouldnt stop to answer reporters questions after the hearing. Do you have any employees who break the law and no discipline and no repercussions for that . Reporter now Council Member graham said hes going to have another hearing and may use subpoena power to get more information about what agencies knew and what they did before relisha rudd disappeared.

In fact, they went to his apartment earlier today, but now they have told us that that person was the last one seen with Hannah Graham and it happened to be right on this downtown plaza, this pedestrian mall that were standing in. Heres what the chief had to say. And so my point is this. People saw hannah. And people saw him and people saw them together. I will always be hopeful until we find hannah. And i cant speak for her mom and dad. But i can tell you in every Human Interaction ive had with them over the past couple days, theyre hurt. Theyre concerned. Theyre frustrated. But not for one second have i ever discerned that they have lost hope in finding their daughter. Reporter so what led up to this point, to this press conference . Overnight, police executed a search warrant on a vehicle parked outside this charlottesville Apartment Building. Its no longer there. In fact, police towed it to an offsite location so they could then search it. They then got a second search warrant around 10 00 this morning to go inside that Apartment Building. They carried out several bags of evidence as we stood there. They were there for most of the day. Now we have also learned that overnight, as they were executing that first search warrant on the vehicle, they came in contact with throw people who were inside that Apartment Building. Those three people have since left. Police did not detain them, they did not question them.

Reporter Fairfax County police have produced a Youtube Video aimed at making teens and parents aware that predators are out there.

The outcome of that case is sealed.

A great day to get down there along the mall, do a little sightseeing. 81 for a high tomorrow. 86 on your sunday. 40 chance of storms late in the day. And i do think after 6 00 thats when well see those storms. And all of next week, looking really, really nice. How about that . We like it like that. Sounds good. Thank you, doug. I guess i should put this away. Weve got a football note. Youre right. Was. We got some football coming up on sunday. Jason, what are we looking at . Desean jackson ready to return to philadelphia. Rg3 shows off his new cast. And as it gets cooler out, the cats return to the ice today with their new this is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity. Your home for the most live sports. Okay. We know gonzaga could beat the jacksonville jaguars. The question is you dont think they could . Theyre bad. Theyre not that bad. They could beat a high school team. They suck. Let me tell you though i shouldnt say that. The question is, what can our guys do against the eagles . Help me out of this. Well, this is their first real game of the season, because houston and jacksonville, not as bad as youre making them out to be but not that good of teams. This sunday, the philadelphia redskins defense get their first it test. Houston and jacksonville did not have very good quarterbacks. Thats a problem the eagles do not have. You add that with the fast pace and hightempo offense and it could give any defense around the league a lot of trouble. The eagles offense is led by running backs lesean mccoy and darren sproles, first in the league in both yards and points. Heres Something Else theyre really good at. Watch the tempo clock above the time there from the end of one play, the time the ball is snapped to the next play, that entire process just 15 seconds for this eagles offense. One guy who knows all about it, current redskins wide receiver, desean jackson. Hes ready to tell all he knows to slow down his former teammates. Im very familiar with their offense. You know, they do some great things. The biggest value to these guys is, you know, keying in on certain plays and what their characters are, what they like to do. You know, so i feel everything they do over there, i know. So as far as what i can tell my guys here to help them out, ill do the best i can. At the same time, just go out there and stop. Kickoff this sunday in philadelphia at 1 00. The redskins right now are sixpoint underdogs on the road to the eagles. We move from football to hockey now. Any fans heading to Kettler Iceplex will notice players wearing these tshirts around the facilities. They read work, play, win together. After missing the playoffs for the first time in the last six seasons, new head coach barry trotz is trying to establish a new culture within the organization. I need to establish what a capitals culture is, and capitals culture is about foundation and hard work and were going to get the structure and weve got good people that care about each other. Weve got some great talent here and weve got to get better every day. And i said to the guys meeting yesterday, our goal is to be better every day in one area. Just be better in one area than you were the day before. All right. Also in baseball, the nationals, they do play tonight. Lets move back to football before we end it. Rg3, hes not playing, but hes spending time around the nfl with his teammates in the locker room today. He got his cast signed by a number of players and coaches in the organization. He posted this picture to instagram with the message, get that w, baby. I wonder if kirk cousins signed that. Im sure he did. First. We hope hes careful when he goes to the bathroom at night, because those toes sticking out youve had that before. One more sport note since we are celebrating doreens 25 years here at nbc 4, did you notice . We dug into the archives. We found this interview with her Elementary School coach at mckinley Elementary School in arlington, virginia. Its a long time ago. Way long time ago. Heres what he had to say about doreen back in the day. Extremely aggressive, and very self confident. And real loud. Loud . I was loud . Yes. I guess that would be a nice way to put it. In a very nice way. When you played something, you played very hard. And other girls would just go through the motions of it. Aggressive. Confident, loud. Playing hard. Intimidating. All the other girls. Perfect training to be able to work with you people every night. Is what i would say. I just i just want to say 25 years ago, the they gave me the opportunity to sit down on this desk next to the coolest guy in washington. And even better, vance, george michael, bob ryan, arch campbell, welcomed me to the team, made me feel like one of the team. And i just feel very, very grateful for that opportunity. And it has been a wonderful 25 years. I privileged and honored to get to work with what i consider the best local tv news team in the country. I hope we have many more years together, and we have had some wonderful new additions to the team over the years. Im thrilled to work with this team. Thanks. Nightly next.
