that 2,000-page report just released in the 90 minutes outlines how prosecutors are building their case. robert honda is live with more on what it reveals. >> reporter: we are seeing more and more details on the case against garcia torres, and it is compelling evidence on many different levels. as we've been reporting, the dna evidence is considered crucial since he was arrested and charged with the murder of sierra lamar even though her body has never been found. as we reported at the top of the show and at 5:00, dna evidence possibly of torres was found in her clothing and in the transcript there was testimony that shows sierra's hair was found on a rope inside his trunk when his car was seized. the hair and bodily fluids were not where you might reasonably expect to find it. >> dna is relevant for many reasons. it shows that their paths crossed. but it also shows that he maybe was a liar when he said i have
6:31 pm
never met sierra lamar. certainly this appears to be more than just a casual dna transfer based on what was located on her abandoned jeans. >> reporter: there is much more evidence we are finding out about as we go over this 2,000-page documents. we will have updates on nbcbayarea.com and twitter and facebook and a report on our 11:00 newscast. thanks, robert, and we continue our coverage on our website. our web team will be updating the sierra lamar story as soon as we learn more from the grand jury indictment. thanks, robert. a brand new portion of the bay bridge already needs some tlc, $1 million summer clean up. a live look at the eastern span where it turns out there's a rust problem. workers are now removing teeny steel particles that became embedded when the towers were installed. it is now rusting.

6:34 pm
records of each cabby. only two had clean records. we found 46 violations, ranging from no regge vags or valid license or running red lights. one driver had nine citations in the last year and a half. three of those were for speeding. >> if i got nine violations in the last year and a half, my license would be suspended. how can a driver still have a license? >> you know, i would have to look into the specks of tifics case. it's hard for me to know. >> reporter: she says the agency request suspend or revoke a driver's permit, but the investigative unit also discovered they only require driving records from the dmv from new applicants or when a driver is applying for a medicalion. -- medallion. >> the agency also relies on
6:35 pm
public complaints and takes action accordingly. but we dug through hundreds of public complaints and found out they're often slow to follow up, despite reports of unsafe driving and rude behavior, the majority of the time, the city just advises the driver of a complaint. 2% of the time a citation is issued. and few are than 1% have their taxi permit suspended. >> what would a driver have to do to have their permit suspended or revoked? >> again, there's a system in place. i'll not prepared to answer immediately. >> reporter: she does say that drivers have to pass a driving test and have no prior convinces of a crime that would in the judgment of the sfmta present a risk to public safety, meaning it's up to the agency to decide whether the driver is daeg russ. >> are you aware that you have a registered sex offender as a
6:36 pm
medallion holder? any specific instances.ent on i just want to be broad in my response. >> reporter: i think the public would be surprised to know that. >> i'm aware there may be an individual, and this is something that, everybody has due process. >> reporter: this taxi driver was convicted of a felony after he arranged to meet a minor for sex. we asked him how he got through the process. >> i was honest with him. >> reporter: sfmt decided he wasn't a risk and allowed him. but ludwig says it appears the system allows some san francisco taxi drivers to avoid accountability. >> sounds like it's a result of lax enforcement. >> reporter: doesn't seem like there's too much consequence. >> i'll certainly look into this and see if we have taken appropriate action and if we're going forward, that's what we
6:37 pm
can focus on. >> in the meantime, if you have a problem with a taxi or driver, sfmta is urging you to file a complaint. keep in mind, cabs do have cameras inside but the video is only kept for 42 hours of the make sure to keep that video as long as possible. you'll find an interactive map showing deadly taxi-related crashes in san francisco and you'll see how we compare to los angeles. if you have a tip for anyone in our investigative unit we urge you to give us a call at 1-888-996-tips or e-mail us. still ahead, a serious admission. the cdc admits miss handling some of the most dangerous viruses. >> for us not to have the

6:49 pm
day we're going to be graced by some of the same incredible weather. the fog clears back and pushes back to the coastline. at the coast we're going to see a lot more of that fog erode. a sign of larger changes coming our way. high pressure building across the pacific, transporting extra hot air to the bay area and here's how hot, and here's how it's going to be the worst. by sunday, 89 degrees. that's do-able. but then by monday and tuesday, mid to upper 90s coming our way and possibly record-setting heat. at least for the weekend, we're still going to have comfortable weather. san jose expecting 83 degrees and sunny skies. for morgan hill, 85. for the peninsula, 62. areas of drizzle. but you head over to palo alto, 81 degrees. in san francisco, we're expecting 60s. north bay, east bay and tri
