7:14 am
but the classic is putting it where the kids are sitting. if you don't have the kid with you, i showed the viewers. thinks where i stick my wallet which is a black berry holder that i converted into a wallet because i don't feel like paying for a wallet and i put it there i don't leave it out of side. it is very handy. at least it is underneath the cart a little bit. how about that, ladies are shopping the shelves, they are turning around, turning their backs to the cart, sometimes going around the corner to the other aisle and this other lady is coming here taking things out of their shopping carts while they do it. it is usually their credit cards. here she is. we have her on surveillance doing lots of shopping herself immediately afterwards, with the stolen cards, and it is right next door. this is a target. it is right next door to the wegmans. she goes in there within a minute and she goes right to whatever she's buying, real expensive stuff, don't come out with a lot you see. she's making a quick getaway. so before the people even get to the check out at wegmans she's in her suv and taking off. but look at her t-shirt. she's buying, not new clothes,
7:15 am
obviously, because side by side pictures show her on two different days, in that last week in may, so she's wearing the same outfit. that is bold, brazen, and stupid or d, all of the a above. she's coming here looking the same way every time and three times that we know of between may 21st and may 29th. >> i leave my purse in the front where the kids are sitting and then i'll leave the cart and go walk over and get the milk and get back to the cart and put it in the cart. >> i put it here too but i really try and watch it. >> i don't need anything else, unnecessarily, happening to me. i got enough going on. >> best thing to do is to keep your credit cards as close to you as possible. i know people keep them in the a wallet or purse but you cannot leave your purse unattended even for a few seconds. if you put your purse in the car make sure the purse is sipped closed because that will protect so what but you really need to make sure they are not accessible to anybody but you.
7:16 am
>> reporter: since our first report on this and last night's 10:00 o'clock news we have obtained a third surveillance picture and that is this woman's car which also stands out. it is a tiehl blue mitsubishi out lander police believe and there is in front plate, which tells you she may be over from philadelphia, and coming over the bridges, to do this, and she also has, that silver, roof rack, on top of her car. so the other war which this woman taking your wallet is she can steel your entire identity, your driver's license near your credit cards and if that is not enough what is worse than getting to the check out counter. you philadelphian hour filling one of these cards up with groceries. your ice cream is melting. you don't have any money or credit cards to pay for this stuff. >> who is on her shirt, we have blurred out her shirt, there is a face on the shirt. >> reporter: we didn't blur it out. we tried to get as good a surveillance picture as i can. it is either bob marley or bob dylan or that guy from cuba that people like to wear, and i'm embarrassing myself by not knowing the history of that.
7:17 am
you know what i'm talking about. that famous image you see, cuban liberation front leader from the old days. let's do some sports. >> yeah. >> hey, this just in, the phillies did not lose last night. have of course, they didn't have a game. the l.a. kings are one win away from winning their second stanley cup, in three years. does this make you just want to say no. look at this jeff carter and mike richards scoring goals, leading the kings to a three to nothing win over the rangers up in new york city, three straight. the the kings now lead the series, three games to none. >> the once that got away in a city that doesn't --
7:18 am
>> i'll give you a positive. we hate the rangers. >> well, there is that but in a hockey crazy city like philadelphia, we have not won it since 75 and the kings got two in three years. >> it is just not our sports year. >> no. >> year? >> football season. >> yeah. >> i tried. >> all right. meanwhile, we've got to weather challenges this morning. >> sure you do. one is the the fog and the other one is the rain. so we're not seeing rain every where but it is widespread and so is the fog. it is getting worse in some places. you see visibility, goose eggs up there in mount pocono, only a mile in allentown and in trenton, and at philly international it is improving a little bit with 2 miles visibility but half mile in pottstown. reduced visibility in so many places, all this moisture in the air, hardly in the wind, reducing visibility. so is the the rain, you will see lightening moving through

7:23 am
7:24 am
truck driver accused of causing the crash that killed one man and critically injured a number of people, including actor tracie morgan, may not have slept for more than 24 hours before the accident. my goodness. that is according to a criminal complaint. wal-mart driver kevin roper, is freed on bail after being charged with death by auto and assault by auto. is driving while drowsy the same as driving under the
7:25 am
influence of drugs and alcohol? should it be treated the same way in the eyes of the law. lets bring in the our fox 29 legal analyst attorney ken rottweiler and chaka johnson is here. let's start with you, ken, how do you prove that the guy, well, was malicious knowing he had not slept in almost 24 hours. i mean how do you prove that he purposely went out there and was driving while drowsy. >> you don't to have prove that he was malicious, mike. let me tell you about the story about maggie mcdonald which is a new jersey law. maggie mcdonald was 20 years old and driving on the new jersey highway. a car came across three lanes, hit her head on and killed her instantly. it was found that driver was up more than 24 hours. he was up more than 30 hours. when they took the to court because of the existing law in new jersey he was find $200 for that death. that mother was outraged and went on a campaign and in 2003
7:26 am
they passed maggie's law in new jersey which says if you are up over 24 hours and driving a motor vehicle and it causes a death you are guilty of a felony and can be convicted of felony. that is the problem this driver will in new jersey. my prediction is he will be convicted under maggie's law for being up over 30 hours, driving a motor vehicle and killing someone. >> this case closed, shocka. >> no, good morning to you mike and ken. issue is proving that this driver was up the len of time that they are alleging. under new jersey statute that drives, without having slept for 24 hours proceeding his driving is considered to be under the same statute of dui that level of impairment. that is how it will be analyzed. they will have an issue proving this gentlemen didn't drive. under the federal motor carrier safety administration, is there also laws governing how much time he was supposed to be off-duty, prior to taking the wheel of that motor
7:27 am
carrier. >> so ken, how will this play out. >> i think it will play out he will be quick under maggie's law. there isn't any question bit. shocka is right. they have onto prove he was up over 24 hours. is what coming up now is that there is this thought he was up over 24 hours and i'm sure they have done an investigation because that is what is being said by the middlesex county prosecutor's office f they can prove he was up over 24 hours under the law it is clear. more interesting thing is and you suggested when what is wal-mart's culpability here f wal-mart knew one of their drivers was on the road being up over 24 hours and they put him on the road any waste, then wal-mart has criminal liability here. that is the the more interesting thing. these companies push their drivers to complete their task and to stay on the road and stay on the road for long periods of time. it will be interesting if the prosecution goes out to
7:28 am
wal-mart if wal-mart can be proven that wal-mart was. >> pushing him. >> but they were knowledgeable. they don't have to be outwardly pushing him but if they were knowledgeable he was on the road for more than the 14 hours on the time that is allowed under the law, they will have a problem. >> so did he add myth this, ken, the driver or the logs. >> i don't know whether the prosecutor's office has got the testimony from him through an interview. they may have. they may have talk to him and he may have admitted that i was up over 24 hours. >> the reason we're talking about this we have all gotten drowsy while driving. is this as bad as drunk driving? i mean. >> i can tell you there has been a study by both harvard and stanford university. i was researching this this morning. their studies show drowsy driving is more dangerous than drunk driving. you may have found that impossible. it has to to with something with the brain and how 30 ter receive distances. you know yourself, mike when you are on the road and you get drowsy your perception is
7:29 am
completely off. >> it can come on, at a moment's notice but should we now be pulled off the road. >> if you feel it coming on. the issue, because the issue as far as drowsy driving laws and some states call it fatigue laws. i think issue is lay person generally cannot feel it coming on until it is too late. that is why there is an analysis that you have to have slept within the last 24 hours taking the wheel. other than that the lay person wouldn't be responsible for your physical driving to driving which is sitting down in the sedentary environment. you are coming off a shift. sometimes you have work overtime. this is the first time your body is relaxing when you get behind the the wheel. >> then you fall asleep. >> mike, in pennsylvania because a lot of people ask me this we have the same type of law in pennsylvania. drowsy driving you can be convicted of a felony. >> i lost that for all reason your mike went out. >> thanks very much. >> it is terrifying for any
7:30 am

7:34 am
now, townsend getting lighter rain in upper darby there is some rain. marple in delco, netter providence all those places getting heavier rain. it is lighter in pottstown and if you are in jim thorpe, they just had a big old thunderstorm there is in more flood advisory in east affect but 71 is our current temperature, 90 percent relative humidity, and poor visibility at philly international and places north of the city, it is better down by the shore, the visibility. eighty-four is our high with showers and thunderstorms popping up any time but most likely this afternoon and this evening. we have fog forming again, kacie after midnight. >> repeat again tomorrow. >> yes. >> all right. >> thanks sue. >> lets head out to i-95 at girard. 7:34 right now. things are getting better, roadways drying out. that is good news. east falls one accident here
7:35 am

7:36 am
situation. how does it happen. >> yes, and in spite of the fact that we have got all of the high tech stuff in the world, it sound to me very much like this is one of those kind of incident where someone is what we call lacing the target with the laser target designator, ignition being used fit was a b1 it is probably a laser guided bomb and something sabado kurd between what the target was, the target is not on the target, the laser guided bomb hits the designator. that is what it sound like. those kind of terrible mistakes happen. i can recall one in the very beginning of the campaign back in november of 2001 when i was out there with the marines have and special operators. >> i'm glad you are here because i have not been able to talk to you since this bowe bergdahl situation started a week ago now. is what your take on this. we could in the leave him there, could we?
7:37 am
>> no, we shouldn't. the problem that we're seeing mike, and it is very valid to talk about it is the the conditions under which he was released. what i know of this mike and i was very close to the family. i'm wearing the bowe bergdahl bracelet his mom when i was asked to look into this and meet with them which i had to do with a number of american families. it is difficult. not a pleasant task. meet with the families, explain to them how it works. i did. his mom gave me this bracelet. here's what we like to know and should know. what were the conditions of him being in the hands of not the taliban but the criminal network, and they only wanted money. i know well what the intelligence is saying. that network is not the the taliban. for the time that i was watching this and talking to the family, only money was the issue. that offer was rejected.
7:38 am
it was only after that that the issue of the taliban releasing people, locked up in gitmo. if they never wanted the release of anybody. they didn't even ask for their relatives who were lock up in bog ram. so you've got to ask yourself did the administration, in addition to these five, who weren't wanted by captors, different people, did they pay a ransom, who paid the ransom, how much was it, who got it, and those questions aren't even being asked by a members of the congress who want to be asking the question. so, on top of all of the other questions about bergdahl's behavior there ought to be people who are saying what were the real conditions that caused this administration to add to the mix fab five of the toll ban and who paided what to the hostage holders we will see how this plays out.
7:39 am

8:14 am
chambersville we have a pocket of heavy rain, and possibility whenever you see that orange there of flash flooding. dark green means steady rain around palmyra, new jersey, cedar grove and germantown and in new jersey getting some of that rain. then we will go up to the north and see rain as well in berks county and easing up but you will need that umbrella at times, sussex county delaware has not been spared. we will look ahead and we have temperatures 71 in philadelphia, lower 60's in mount pocono. seventy in atlantic city. seventy in lancaster. it is muggy. it will be muggy at the ballpark tonight if they get the game in. there will be pop up thunderstorms, maybe a rain delay. phillies start tonight with the padres and as we mentioned earlier it is trait utley bobble head night. 79 degrees. shore cast today, we give you shore cast every day even though it is a lousy day at
8:15 am
the shore. is there a nine for uv index when the sunnies shining, le rip current risk, 65 degrees your ocean water temperature. seven day forecast, 84 degrees today, low to mid 80's, wednesday, thursday, friday each and every day has then are storms in the forecast, until we get to the weekend, and it looks fantastic after that, kacie, once again, timing out well. >> you know what, you gave us monday too. usually monday stinky. sue gave us whole weekend. new castle as we head out there eastbound side of old baltimore pike all lanes block there at the scene. traffic is using that shoulder. north bound side of 295 checking on this accident at route 47, vehicle off the roadway, ramp is block there at the scene, 35 miles per hour, if you are heading out on the betsy ross bridge. lots of fog there. restrictions are in place. looking at your majors. >> i check out seven # six in both directions.
8:16 am
probably worse than 95 south if you are heading westbound on 76. you can see it is pretty delayed past the boulevard and towards conshohocken. >> okay, what do you think of this yesterday, president barack obama signed a presidential memo expanding the program that helps college graduates, manage their debt and it will cap monthly payments for certain federal student loans at 10 percent of the borrowers income. in other words pay as you earn. i guess is what they are earning. our dan ri coto is in there. is this good or bad. >> it is a good thing because that sound you here is a trillion dollars student loan time bomb. any relief that we can get is probably a good idea. there are caveats that we will talk about that i want folks to be aware of with regards to this program. >> our average debt is what $30,000 per student. >> yes. >> we are paying so much of our paychecks, to pay off our student debt. how will this help people that are owing money good point, karen. interest rates go up next
8:17 am
month as you mentioned earlier. 70 percent of graduates got a payment book with their diploma last month. as you said, average is about 30 grand. so, without getting lost in the numbers and details of the program basically big picture here's how it will work. for 5 million new borrowers out there, they are eligible for this pay as you earn program. lets say you have $30,000 in loans, mike. you make 30 grand a year. your current monthly payment under today's rules is based on ten years and it will cost you $350 a month and total interest is about 12 grand. under the new program mike if you are eligible the pay as you earn program you can lower your monthly payment by a hundred bucks to 350 to 250 and stretch it out over 20 years. now i'm over simplifying this but you get the picture. it becomes more affordable on a monthly basis. but mike, here's the deal, you may wind up paying more interest in some cases a lot more interest.
8:18 am
we have to be very careful about that. >> thinks only for the federal portion, isn't it, dan. >> is there a few caveats. it only applies to federal student loans. many of them are private loans. that does not apply here. secondly it doesn't start until december of next year, 2015. >> 2015. >> lastly, again we want you to keep your eye on it and do the calculation about how much interest you may wind up owing because it may be in fact that sure it sound like a good idea to lower that monthly payment but if you are paying more in interest and becoming a life long servant, may not be a good idea. >> you may pay a lot more than that $10,000. >> there were quite a few people upset about this. what is the down side. >> there is really two down sides as i see it, mike. at the macro level it will cost you, i, karen and everybody else a lot more money as taxpayers because someone will have to have flip the bill for writing off is what left after 20 years, right? that is a big number in the billions. second down side as i see it
8:19 am
is that interest thing. right around your kitchen table if you are sitting down grabbling with student loans this could be a great program and i want to you look into it. i want to you prom that is will pay extra each month as you are your incomings up so you are not caught in that student loan interest trap for the rest of your life. >> could you call this a bail out for students. >> in some cases, it is, mike. here's where it will apply. those students with very high balances and start out as very low salaries, think your typical graduate student or law student or in my case i have a daughter in medical school, those student loans will benefit. those kids will benefit out of the gate. but again, mike it could be a trap. you have to manage the interest part of this thing. >> okay, dan be careful out there, everybody. >> you got it. >> thank you for that. we tried to find different diet plans especially every summer. well, we have found one. this is a hot new summer diet but it is giving us the
8:20 am
chills. it is called the ice diet. how 13 cups of ice each day can melt away the inches according to a gastroenterologist, who is going to join us in the studio. this is his idea. >> is this because you are frustrated. >> you chew on ice all day and drop the pound. >> lets see fit works. >> but first scientists believe a 9-foot gray white shark has been eaten by something bigger. >> like what? >> coming up, what could be lurking in the ocean right now that could eat a 9-foot shark nelson: when i started high school in jersey city
8:21 am
8:22 am
making it to the finish line seemed like a distant dream. mr. cunningham: i know how hard nelson works running track and he works just as hard in my honors class. nelson: i thought i wasn't good at history but mr. cunningham, he makes it come alive. now i'm heading to college-- and my teachers helped make that happen. mr. cunningham: we're not just teachers, we're mentors, and helping all our students realize their dreams is the best part of the job.

8:25 am
that no showers happy hour. now they will be all dry there, yes. >> hasn't there been invented before. >> it is like why isn't this out on the market already. >> yes. >> how dumb. >> yes. >> good idea mr. canada man. could there be something in the water out there that makes jaws look tame? is there something that could eat a 10-foot shark. >> they think it is a super big can bull shark possibly in australia. this is their first attempt to attract great white in that neck of the woods and they tag them. they put this on a 9-foot shark, it is huge. >> so they tagged the nine footer, four months later little tag washes up on the shore and it can track all kind of temperatures. so temperature spikes when it is out there in the water, and it could only happen if that was in the belly of an enlarger creature. >> wow. so what ate the 9-foot shark.
8:26 am
>> fun guess that people are guessing it is a orca, bigger shark. >> i'm going with cracken. >> greek mythology release the cracken. >> yeah, it is from that movie. >> yes. >> good movie. >> we got it. thanks, kacie. all right. still ahead philly's own kin dread the family soul, they are back with a new cd. guess what they will perform a song from that cd in our studio, what do you think of that. >> it drops today. >> i like when you talk about that. >> you know who i learned that about. >> who. >> quincy. >> hi q. >> i'm feeding the hippos, and at adventure aquarium. >> get cracking. >> they are hungry. they love cracking food or something. i'll be back.
