mrs. washington's mother had come here when she couldn't make contact with her daughter. she went in through the window. >> she called our office asking for a welfare check of the residence, although nothing was found suspicious. the residence was secure, no need to force entry. >> reporter: the sheriff scott jenkins says it appears the couple had some kind of an argument on saturday. >> everything at this point from physical evidence to field interviews and so forth points to a murder suicide most likely the result of the father doing. so. >> reporter: the house is grouped with four others and neighbor richard massey says clarence washington was a quiet guy who worked as a janitor at the nearby sycamore elementary school. his daughter was best friends with 6-year-old onya. >> my daughter is not understanding right now because her friends are gone. >> reporter: two doors away judge christina stanley said she can't believe -- young christina stanley said she can't believe her friend onesha is gone. >> it's kind of scary and it's sad for them to have to go through that and their families. >> reporter: the sheriff said in all his years he's never seen anything like this tragedy before. in culpeper hank silverberg, wusa9. the star witness in the corruption trial of former virginia governor bob mcdonnell returns to the stand and jonnie williams testified about that $165 in gifts and loans he gave the -- $165,000 in gifts and loans he gave to the governor and his wife in exchange for the prestige the governor could give his business. >> reporter: so far there's no smoking gun. the defense has poked some holes in williams' testimony, but the prosecution has facts, e-mails and a money trail to support its case. >> no comment. >> reporter: star witness jonnie williams concluded his testimony today in the corruption trial of former governor bob mcdonnell and his wife maureen. williams says he gave the first couple more than $150,000 in gifts and loans as bribes for the governor's health. but bob mcdonnell's attorney asserts the governor did nothing official to help williams. he said to williams, "please tell me a single thing that my client did for you after you gave him this $50,000 loan." williams answered, "i can tell you what happened. i can't give you specific dates,." >> first and foremost he's going to argue he never really did anything for jonnie williams, that at the end of the day there wasn't a result, a government action taken on behalf of williams as evidence of corruption. >> reporter: the former governor said he thought williams was just a very generous friend. williams denies that and insists their relationship was purely business. he said on the stand, "i needed something. i'm maintaining a very important business relationship." williams has two immunity deals from prosecution and the defense is alleging he's lying now to save himself from prosecution, but williams insists that he has no reason to lie now and that if he does, he'll go to jail. he said, "this is a very serious situation. i'm telling the truth, period." so what about the assertion by defense that marijuana can only had a crush on jonnie williams -- that maureen mcdonnell had a crush on jonnie williams and there was a close relationship? i'll have that at 6:00. white collar criminal offense attorney tim cain joins us now. tim is a former prosecutor who worked in the public integrity section which is now prosecuting jonnie williams. did jonnie williams dirty up the governor enough? >> i'm pretty happy the way williams' testimony has gone and keep in mind to keep the bribery and extortion charges the prosecution must show that both the first lady and governor understood there to be a quid pro quo. i don't think williams delivered that. i don't think he dirtied the governor up enough. >> you're suggesting he left some doubt about the governor's involvement in this scheme. >> absolutely. his testimony focused on the conversations he had with maureen mcdonnell and he admitted on cross-examination that the governor might not have even known that many of the gifts were coming from jonnie williams, but more importantly williams did not testify to having had any conversations with the governor where they talked about both money from jonnie williams. >> and the result. >> and the things that the governor would do for star scientific in the same conversation. the absence of those direct discussions will make this case tougher for the prosecution. >> how does the prosecution come back? >> first off the prosecution had to have understood this was going to happen. they can't be surprised. this is their star witness. they had to have known what jonnie williams was going to say and wasn't going to say about the governor's involvement. i think that's the reason they put jonnie williams so early in the lineup to give themselves a little cushion to prove their case through other means. kneel have to show that through circumstantial evidence the governor knew and intended for this to be arrangement. they'll point to things like the timing of events between the official acts and the gifts. they're going to hammer away at the alleged ever of concealment and they're going to appeal the jurors' common sense. hey, look, how could the governor have understood all these things were coming from jonnie williams without any strings attached? that makes no sense. >> before we go, the governor now is going to take the stand at some point. are you thinking that jurors remember the last thing they hear, so what jonnie williams said may be old news by the time the governor takes the stand? >> that's absolutely right, lesli. the governor, if he still chooses to testify, his testimony is going to be critical to the outcome of the case. criminal trial lawyers have a saying when you have a defendant that testifies, everything else in the trial goes out the door. the jury's decision will hinge on whether or not they believe the defendant's testimony. if the governor takes the stand, that's going to be critical. >> a fascinating week and a day of this case with much more to go. we know you'll watch it closely. thank you so much. washington welcomes african leaders for the first u.s. africa summit but not without all the traffic. add in some roadblocks and rolling closures to a commute that

mandarin oriental hotel where most of the closures will happen today. most of them will start at 10 p.m. right now you can get into d.c. and make your way out, but really tomorrow, that's going to be the major make and you definitely want to know where the set closures are. there is a map that was released. look at this video. we found a vehicle that didn't know of that 29th street closure and was stopped by police. that person was able to back up. i wouldn't suggest that going forward, but that person did make a u-turn and get around, but don't expect that the rest of the week. the other problem is once all these closures really take effect you also have rolling closures on top of that. the motorcades with the diplomats, we don't know where those will be for security purposes. that

in fact, the parts for the repair aren't even ready yet. tonight only on 9 an update on a story i've dug into for the past three years. >> there's no good explanation. i mean people are dying. they're being burned in fire crashes in these jeeps. >> it's hard to imagine anyone could survive the flames raging from this 1994 jeep grand cherokee on a california highway. in april two brothers in the suv

nonprofit that alerts the government to certain problems of the older model jeeps with the gas tank close to the rear axle. after they agreed to recall 1993 to 1998 grand cherokees and some jeep liberty models none of the vehicles have been fixed. the national highway safety administration put forth a special order. they want to know why none of the vehicles have the trailer hitch fix that is supposed to protect the gas tank in the event of a low speed crash. in that document nhtsa expressed concern about the pace of the recall and calculated it would take the automaker two to five years to finish all the repairs. ditlow says special orders are rarely used. >> this special order issued by nhtsa was really an act of exasperation. >> right. it's the last thing they could do. >> chrysler says it's kept nhtsa in the loop about their production timeline and that it should have all the parts it needs by 2015 and should complete repairs by march of 2016. the company also says it had to seek out more suppliers to help them meet the demand and design new tools for the dealerships to make the repairs. >> you're at chrysler's mercy. you're at the government's mercy and the only thing that you know is it's taking too long to get the trailer listen put on your vehicle. >> if you have one of these vehicles, the center for auto safety says limit your use. don't let your teens drive them. chrysler maintains its vehicles are safe, not defective and that suppliers are working overtime to produce those trailer hitches for the recalled jeep grand cherokee and liberty models. nhtsa says it doesn't have any issues with the remedy but will continue to monitor the process and take more action if it needs to. i'll continue to follow this story, too. in 2005 chrysler moved that gas tank ahead of the rear axle. the company says not for safety issues but to provide more cargo space. keeping your family safe, wusa9 first alert weather. >> topper joins us right now. you've been tracking storms on storm tracker. what are you seeing '. >> we've issued a yellow alert for wednesday, but it's a really nice start to the month of august. let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam looking off to  the east, 88 right now downtown. the dew point is key. it's only 60 up with -- 61 degrees, so relative humidity is 41%. that's very comfortable, not as crazy comfortable last week when dew points were in the 40s and 50s, but any time you see that you can probably turn off the ac at night. perfect night for a walk or baseball, almost hot tomorrow, highs near 90. isolated storms tuesday and a much better chance of thunderstorms wednesday across the board. tomorrow is mainly the storms west of town around the i-81 corridor. here's futurecast. 6 a.m. tomorrow morning mid-60s downtown leesburg, low 70s in the beltway, 73, still have 60s outside the beltway, 72 downtown. by 9:30 it's almost 80 downtown, about 70s in the burbs. trying to walk to lunch i think you can in the immediate metro area. by 1:00 out toward cumberland, romney and oakland big boomers will be flying around. keep that in mind. stay indoors or take an umbrella. by 4:00 we're almost near 90. by 5:30 residual clouds, temps in the upper 80s, but right now no green blobs in the immediate metro area. by midnight upper 70s downtown, temperatures around 70 in the burbs. again our best chance for storms will be wednesday, not so much tomorrow. tonight clear to partly cloudy, comfortable, maybe patchy fog, lows 62 to 72. tomorrow morning partly cloudy, warm by lunchtime. temps warm up quickly tomorrow. dry air masses warm up quickly, 62 to 84 by lunchtime. by afternoon partly cloudy, almost hot, just an isolated thunderstorm primarily west and again that means i-81 into the mountains, high temperatures near 90 with light winds. we can guarantee storms for our friends in oakland, 90 in cumberland, mid-80s in hagerstown, martinsburg and winchester, probably have the leftovers. when these storms roll through cumberland, you'll get them as they're waning in intensity. 88 in manassas, fairfax, reston, 89 downtown and gaithersburg and andrews, very quiet on the bay, hardly any wind, temperatures mid-80s and don't see any showers on the bay or tidal potomac tomorrow. break this down, 70s to start, almost 80 by 9:00, 84 by 11:00 and 88 by 1:00 but dry. next three days isolated storms tomorrow, scattered storms wednesday, your yellow alert day and thursday is nice, 86. lots going on thursday, nats on 9, a 12:30 game, first preseason redskin game at night, looks fine and just beautiful friday, saturday, sunday and monday. this is august? mid-80s with lows in the 60s which means lows in the burbs could be upper 50s and low of 60s. >> hopefully we don't pay for it later in the wintertime. it was a different day at redskins training camp. no one ever debates burgundy and gold fervor, but today dave owens saw a real rock star and so did fans.

brady and it's awesome to see them scrimmaging and get the season started. >> reporter: let's be honest. burgundy and gold nation never likes to be upstaged, but today begrudgingly they gave respect. >> you got to respect them. 15 years they've missed one playoff. >> reporter: training camp practices can sometimes be drab but not this, two high profile field generals, boss brady versus the upstar
