One big mess to clean. Randy who works nearby couldnt believe his eyes. Up to 150 cubic yards of Industrial Construction trash. Two dump trucks full. Brazenly and illegally dumped and abandoned on this private lot. The Sheriff Deputies said it was the biggest dump they have ever seen. Toilets, pli wood, debris. Workers say the trash heap stretched from here all the way back to those yellow poles and it was piled high up to this barbed wire fence. Deputies made a startling discovery. The trash was from this drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in oakland. It is now bank owned and when we visited, it appeared to be burned down. Deputies contacted the subcontractor. He agreed to clean it up, even hauling it out in dump trucks today. But he could still face charges. And in an unexpected twist, not everything was cleared out of allied fellowship service. We found cabinets full of files strewn inside and outside of the facility. Former patients names, addresses, w2 forms and Social Security numbers. In plain view for anyone to access.

He is a person of interest in the death of federal investigator, sandra koch. Tonight, he says, they shared much more than a relationship. Spoke to him face to face and live outside the jail. Juliette. Reporter elizabeth, they met in this jail, this very jail 21 years ago. He told me tonight that sandra was here doing an interview on a Death Penalty case and thats when they met and started this longterm relationship. He has been in and out of jail on very similar, or very serious criminal charges. He says she has been there every step of the way. And he told me tonight, they have a daughter together. Behind bars, 56yearold, randy told me, i loved sandra more than life itself. When i asked him how she was killed, he told me, i would never lay a hand on her. Alana is behind bars on a parole violation, but he is a person of interest. He and sandra talked about getting married numerous times. He says she wanted to move to montgomery, alabama. She told me if i changed my environment, i would change my bad habits. Alana told me she went against her family and job to be with me. It was always her biggest fear, her family would find out about my criminal past and have her committed. He said she was always making up stories to her family about me. She told them, i own a cleaning business. Another time, she told them i lived in arizona. I was in arizona, but in jail.

Her body found august 9, near a park in vacaville. Now this jailhouse interview lasted 30 minutes. He was engaging and a choice to show up for the interview or not or talk for that length of time or not. He did not talk specifically about what happened in her disappearance and what happened the day she was murdered. Keep in mind, he is heren a parole violation because he violated a stay away order from sandra koch. Hes a person of interest right now, hes not a suspect yet. Juliette, what about sandra kochs family . What are they saying about all of this . They are thankful for all of the Media Attention when it came to looking for sandra and they have such deep regrets over everything that happened. But they did say at this point right now, the d. A. And police have asked them not to talk about the suspect or the investigation. All right, juliette, thank you. Police are investigating an attack on a woman near santa clara university. A man approached her walking on franklin street near the intersection of sherman street. He sexually assaulted her and ran away. We have a sketch of the alleged attacker, 6 feet to 62 with an athletic build. Clean shaven with dirty blond hair. He was last seen wearing a white tshirt and blue jeans. A Bay Area Club is getting a reputation for being a breeding ground for cell phone thieves. The owner isnt putting up with it. Kpix5 shows us what he did. Linda. Well liz, cell phone thefts are part of a new crime wave here in the nightclubs. The club owners are fighting back. This jail is ratting out the bad guys. The music is loud, everyone is dancing and drinking, and somewhere in that crowd, a cell phone thief is working. You know, on the average, we are losing 15 to 25 cell phones a weekend. Worse yet, the thieves were ruining the clubs. Victims were posting on the web, dont come unless you want your cell phone stolen. Club owner and entertainment commissioner, steven lee, had enough. Last weekend he set up a sting, smeared phones with a fluorescent gel and sent his decoys in. I was dancing and a couple of our agents were watching me and saw the suspect take the phone out of my purse. Caught him. Security and management went around to start looking at peoples hands. Because if you have it on the hands and the black lights are going, its going to glow. They found the glowing hands on two suspects, busted. Club for youre blacklisted. The club Surveillance Video shows how purses hanging from the shoulders of women are easy picking for thieves. They are waiting until about 1 00 a. M. , 1 30, when people had a couple drinks in them and thats when they make their move. Lee shared this with other club owners. Have security walk around the dance floor or crowded areas looking for criminals who dont fit in. Most of the criminals we caught with always looking down at girls purses. If you come here to steal a phone, youre going to get caught. And you cant really get this stuff off, you have to use soap and water. They are literally caught red handed. Its amazing how that works. What do police think about this . He warned police this last weekend. The police say if you catch anybody, if your security folks catch him, this is a deterent. All right, linda, thank you. Tonight, more people are being told to get out of the way. As it roars closer to yosemite. The rim fire is only 2 contained. People in 1300 more homes and camp sites just outside the park are being evacuated. The fire started on saturday. 63,000 acres have burned. Thats an area twice the size of san francisco. Nick james tells us about the new concern as flames continue to march into populated areas. The rim fire is racing in every direction, raging out of control. The plume of smoke dwarfing everything around it is 40,000 feet tall, with flames 600 feet high. What is your level of concern at this point . I would say from 1 to 10, 9. Ed is packed and ready to go at a moments notice. What are you seeing, ed . Im seeing danger. Theres trees going up as if a flame thrower hit him. We have two fires burning. Youll see that plume of smoke and one on the other side. The concern for firefighters, that as those fires merge, they could come up this hill, right toward us. Hot spots flaired up along highway 120 near yosemite. Major concern is the wild fires push toward the Small Community of Pine Mountain lake. With a few thousand homes not far away, this is one spot firefighters are prepared to take a stand. The bulldozers are clearing containment lines should the fire hop across the canyon to this side. For the first time, an Evacuation Order is in place for hundreds of homes. An evacuation advisory in effect for the remaining 2500 homes. Steve is one of the residents leaving. Got to have the dog with me, cant leave her home. Shes got to go. Others are ignoring the warnings to leave, as an inferno creeps closer by the minute. You dont feel like youre in danger . Not really. Where am i going to go . That was mcjames reporting, Governor Brown declared a state of emergency and that frees up money and resources to help fight that huge fire. Bob filner is expected to resign tomorrow in the wake of a Sexual Harassment scandal. Bags in hand, filner left his office today dressed casually.

The 25yearold army private said he always felt like a woman in a mans body. His trug l struggle was part of his defense. Explain the kind of stress he was under in the army. Manning said he wants to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. The army, very quickly, told him no. Changing who sits in these courtroom chairs. The move by california lawmakers that could mean less jury duty for you. There will be a new place for cyclists to ride. Why the bay bridge will be finished when the rest of the span is complete. And swallowed up in seconds. What caused the sink hole swallowed all these trees. That is amazing. It was cooler today than yesterday and now the changes for the weekend that you need to know about as the news continues right here on the cw. ,,,,,,, do tells us state are you tired of getting called for jury duty or running out of excuses to get out of it . Kit doe tells us state lawmakers are tossing around an idea you might like. Lawmakers want to share the responsibility and spread the pain of jury duty. Right now, only citizens over 18 who speak english and have no felonies can serve on juries. But both houses overwelmingly pass 1401. It would allow lawful permanent immigrants to become jurors as well. All these potential jurors would be chosen from dmv records. People who have a gren card and been in the u. S. For seven years. Your voice is heard. If you have some on these kind of things, and it feels good. I would be interested if my english is good enough to do that. A jury consultant is torn. The bill would increase the number of candidates and immigrants sometimes make great jurors. Who serve do take the process very seriously. They are proud to serve. They are less likely to come up with excuses to get out of jury duty. Immigrants may struggle to understand American Culture and basically with concepts like guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I would have concerns without being exposed to the system would be able to quickly and readily grasp those concepts. If the bill passes, california would be the first. The bill now heads to the desk of Governor Brown for consideration. In san jose, kit doe, kpix5. The law would not change any other requirements. Jurors would still have to be 18 years or older and be proficient in english. When the new bay bridge opens in a couple weeks, one thing will be unfinished. The new bike path. Right now it is basically a bridge to nowhere, but theres a good reason. Just getting over the bridge. Thats a route in itself. Rain, shine, or fog, the Golden Gate Bridge is always flooded with cyclists. It is something that you could soak in looking at. Its beautiful here. And cyclists are about to get a few more miles of new path on the new bay bridge. The work that is going on today is to put a temporary connector so the public can use the bridge. What looks like oversized ikea furniture is being hoisted up on to the new deck where it gets trucked across the bridge to oakland. It is all going up because thats where they had room to build 270,000 pounds of bike ramps. The modules are made of douglas fur. The wooden ramp will take you from east bay soil on to the new bay bridge, giving cyclists and pedestrians a path all the way across the new span. Stopping just short of the island. At least for now. After traffic has been moved on to the new east span, they will start to demolish and that will free up the room to connect the bike path into the island. While the path will remain incomplete for some time, it will still offer a brandnew ride with a view you never seen before. A 2 grade all the way back, and owl the way back. Youll get some great views of the original east span, and also of the bay. And as for the idea of extending the bike path all the way to san francisco, eny nears say yeah, its totally doable. It will just take a lot more time and a lot more money. By this time wednesday, the bridge will be retired. It will take another five days or so to put the finishing touches. We have posted a Survival Guide at kpix. Com bridge. I know you are itching to get on your bike and go across the bay bridge for the first time. Im very excited about that. Im excited for the whole task. I want to talk about the fire, because i know you covered fires before in the yosemite area as well. Take a look at this. We know this fire is getting completely, well it is out of hand already, but 167 miles away in mindon, nebraska. And you can see how orange and smoky it is there. Then also, sent me this photograph from south lake tahoe, which is another 125 miles away from that fire and you can just see the smoke in the air there. So, we want to take a look at the Current Conditions and the scene and the vicinity of the fire. You can see by our radar, nothing going on here locally. We see nothing going on there at all. Thats the difference from yesterday to today. We have no lightning strikes. The current air temperature is 71 degrees. But this fire is generating its own wind and sometimes these wind gusts can be up to 20 miles per hour. We have winds 10 miles per hour. Temperatures in the 50s, 60s, and low 70s after highs today only in the 60s at the beaches. Low 70s bay side to 80 degrees fair field. 10 degrees below average. Tonight, in the 50s to about 60 degrees. Here we go. This is your future cast. Notice the clouds make their way inland. They head out and back off. We will see earlier burn off tomorrow than what we saw today. Temperatures will be going up. Thats because of an area of low pressure is directly lifting to north and that will allow us dryer air mass. 60s beaches. 70s to upper 80s. 89 degrees in brentwood. 87 degrees in livermore. From the 60s all the way up to 85 degrees and then we head due north. Does call for a seasonal weather pattern. So the really big change is a couple degrees cooler. Thats about it. Pretty segment. Still ahead, there they go. How these trees went from standing tall to soaking up water. ,,,,,,,,, wind. But take a look as these trees.
