earlier this year he was placed on the fbi's 10 most wanted fugitive list, but tonight police believe he's dead. >>william bradford bishop who lived in bethesda was accused of bludgeoning his family nearly 40 years ago. >> bradford bishop took off after allegedly killing, burning and burying his mother, wife and sons. fbi agents thought the suspected family killer was still out there somewhere, maybe hiding in plain sight, but now they suspect the former state department employee is dead and has been dead for three decades. >> tonight all signs do point to alabama where the fbi focused its search and where bishop's body may be. on thursday the fbi is expected to exhume a body in alabama believed to be william bradford bishop. dna will ultimately determine if bishop is the same man killed during a 1981 hit and run. that man was never identified, but agents are comparing pictures and say there is a resemblance. the john doe was walking down highway 72 in scottsboro
11:02 pm
alabama when he was hit and killed, no id on him, just a piece of paper in his pocket way phone number of a truck driver in kentucky who picked him up a couple days earlier. no one came forward to identify john doe. the last time anyone confirmed seeing bishop was in march of 1976 at a sporting goods store in jacksonville, north carolina. that same month bishop's car was located in north carolina at an entrance of the great smoky mountains national park. that entrance is approximately 200 miles from scottsboro alabama. fbi reports indicate bishop could have hid out in th mountains before hitchhiking to alabama. andrea mccarren is on her way to alabama to track the latest on this decades old murder mystery. you can watch for updates on facebook, twitter, on air and www.wusa9.com. we've got breaking news tonight. prince george's county police are on the lookout for a man they say shot and killed another man.
11:03 pm
we're told the argument escalated in the 2700 block of loring drive in district heights around 9 p.m. the man drew a handgun and fired into a group of people. the shooter ran off on foot and is still out there somewhere. the very first patient diagnosed with ebola in the united states is now dead. thomas eric duncan, a liberian who arrived in dallas september 20th died earlier today in a dallas area hospital. also tonight a deputy who entered the apartment where duncan stayed has been hospitalized out of an abundance of caution after going to an urgent care facility with some ebola symptoms. federal and state health experts say there's no indication the deputy had direct contact with thomas eric duncan, but he did have contact with some family members that lived there. so far none of those family members which are still under quarantine have exhibited any symptoms. >> now attention is shifting to preparedness and implementing new steps to guard against the
11:04 pm
dangerous disease. now travelers arriving in the u.s. will be screened starting as early as this weekend. dulles international airport is one of five major airports ramping up its efforts. mola lenghi is live looking into this new layer of screening. >> reporter: the key to slowing the spread of ebola is quick ndiagnosis and isolation right now in the united states the most critical place for that to happen is right here at the airport. as the frantic search for hannah graham continued, few would have thought that the suspect police were searching for would be found 1300 miles away on a remote texas beach. >> ebola is scary. it's a deadly disease, but we know how to stop it. >> reporter: but it won't be easy says the cdc and homeland security. the burden falls on public health agencies and hospitals to quickly diagnose and isolate as well as airports to screen. today enhanced screening measures were announced. >> the enhanced screening will
11:05 pm
consist of targeted questions, temperature checks and collection of contact information of travelers from the three affected countries entering the united states at five airports. >> reporter: jfk, newark, chicago o'hare, atlanta and dulles, those five airports represent about 95% of the 150 daily passengers traveling from west africa to the u.s. the cdc admits enhanced screening measures will ultimately find people who have symptoms but don't actually have ebola. over the last few months, for example, the cdc says one out of every roughly 500 passengers from west africa has shown some sort of symptom. >> most of those had malaria. none of those as far as we know have been diagnosed with ebola. so we expect to see some patients with fever and that will cause some obvious and understandable concern at the airports. >> reporter: if passengers are found to have either symptoms or a history of contact with ebola, they'll be turned over to on site cdc officers at the
11:06 pm
airport for further testing at quarantine stations. a recent survey conducted by wusa9 and its sister television stations across the country found that airports, public health agencies and hospitals for the most part are confident in their ability and readiness to deal with ebola. they did, however, stress a need for more protective gear for first responders and only about 1/3 of the nearly 50 airports surveyed say they are currently shoring up preparations. instead they're leaving it up to airports like dulles who received the majority of u.s. bound travelers from west africa. the aim said the cdc is to stop ebola there before it comes here. "1 >> we're surging the response with a whole of government approach from the u.s. and the global community. it's going to be a long hard fight, but we remain convinced that we can contain the outbreak in west africa. >> reporter: now you might ask why the u.s. doesn't just ban air travel to and from west
11:07 pm
africa altogether. well, the cdc says that would make it difficult to respond to this outbreak. officials say that they have to be able to easily move personnel and resources to and from west africa in order to fight ebola. live at dulles airport i'm mola lenghi for wusa9. day 25 of the search for the missing university of virginia student hannah graham stretched into rural parts of the commonwealth. searchers brought out a new tool today, a helicopter from homeland security, but still no sign of graham since she disappeared now close to four weeks ago. while the search for hannah is centered in virginia, tonight you might wonder why what seems to be a key piece of evidence was left behind in galveston, texas, where suspect jesse matthew was arrested last month. investigative reporter jace larson from krpc in houston shows what was found inside the car that matthew drove to texas. >> reporter: as the frantic search for hannah graham continued, few would have
11:08 pm
thought that the suspect police were searching for would be found 1,300 miles away on a remote texas beach or that police would soon be investigating him in connection to more missing girls. jesse matthew spent much of his time on the run recently driving in his sister's stolen beat up nissan. it carries clues about his journey from virginia to the beach of bolivar peninsula. cigarette butts fill the ashtray and a charlottesville police detective's business card is thrown in the back seat. in the front this religious tape and an odd yellow envelope instructing someone to read a letter first. inside the envelope, a cross. >> just down the lane is where his campsite was. >> reporter: karen first recognized jesse matthew on the beach and called police. >> he drove past right and stopped dead still and looked right at me for a little while, you know, a few seconds and
11:09 pm
then he left the beach. that's when i knew who it was. >> reporter: as the waves crashed, karen's confidence briefly waned. >> just thinking maybe that wasn't him. maybe it was. >> reporter: her conscious told her she had to do something. one of the sheriff's deputies responded, but even after running the plates didn't have confirmation that the man was wanted. >> it didn't get a good signal. so the signal didn't come back right away it was the individual we were looking for when he ran the plate. >> reporter: but as luck would have it, it triggered alerts on other deputies' working computers. >> they were able to contact him and tell him. >> reporter: an experienced deputy arrested matthew. did matthew tell anyone why he came to galveston? >> he's been very quiet why he was here. he didn't want to talk to anybody. he was out there maybe a day or two. >> reporter: what makes you say this? >> i'd rather leave that alone right now. >> reporter: is there evidence that suggests he was in other places. >> yes. that's being looked into as part of the case.
11:10 pm
>> reporter: hannah graham is not the only young woman to go missing in charlottesville connected to matthew. in 2009 morgan harrington disappeared after a concert there and her body was found months later. her murder shares a forensic tie to a 2005 sex assault. rape claims go back to matthew in 2002 and 2003 when two women say he assaulted him, both deciding not to file charges, but the mystery and search for graham continues. law enforcement sources tell local 2 they are confident graham is not along the water where the suspect who is thought to have taken her ended his time on the #run. on boulevard peninsula jace larson, kprc local 2. >> if you've got a lead or tip, call 434-295-3851 or e-mail charlottesville police at cpdtips @charlottesville.org. tonight in the battle against isis the pentagon says
11:11 pm
airstrikes can disrupt the islamic state but only ground troops can move in and take territory. airstrikes are ramping up in a city isis is trying to capture and there are new questions on whether the campaign is working. u.s. military leaders have said from the start that their strategy will take time and require an effective ground force to be successful. >> airstrikes alone are not going to fix this, not going to save the town. >> it remains a difficult mission as i've indicated from the start. this is not something that will be solved overnight. >> the campaign against isis in iraq began two months ago. airstrikes inside syria are entering the third week with 250 bombing runs in both countries. in a new cbs news poll only 40% of those surveyed approve of the job president obama is doing handling the situation.
11:12 pm
51% disapprove. volunteers and family members still holding out hope they can bring little jacob and sarah hoggle of montgomery county back home. their dad troy turner searched a portion of the seneca creek state park today and now the klaaskids foundation is launching a new method of searching by training family members and volunteers how to search like an investigator. president marc klaas fights to bring missing children home. he lost his daughter to a kidnapping murder decades ago and told us over skype he really sympathizes with parents like turner. >> it's a horrible situation because i know from experience that you need to have finality. you need to know what has happened to your missing child and you need to find a way to bring them home. >> now turner says this training allows him to stay focused on his goal, finding his kids, 2-year-old jacob, 3- year-old sarah. for more information on what the group does, you can go over to www.wusa9.com. facebook, could be it
11:13 pm
following in the footsteps of myspace? >> coming up why the social network may be losing its luster monday teens and tweens. >> plus in tonight's health alert how experts say making these pills rock solid may deter drug abusers. >> i'm meteorologist topper shutt, high temperature 80 degrees. sweater, glasses probably a good idea tomorrow, 45 to 55 at 7:00, cool but nice by 9:00, upper 50s and low 60s. we'll come back, talk about why we may have a yellow alert friday and again saturday.

11:16 pm
because they're trying to make new friends or be accepted into a group, somebody brings out the bowl of pills or alcohol or whatever. >> reporter: these mothers have been working for years to prevent drug abuse in their neighborhoods and now they're getting some help. it's a novel concept that promises to curb drug abuse nationwide, especially with opioids like oxycontin. we tried to crush these pills, but they're virtually indestructible. dan cohen of the abuse deterrent coalition says the deterrent formulation in these methods can stop drug abusers in their tracks. >> i thought one of the ways to reduce the abuse was time release drugs. where did that fit into the solution? >> the extended release drugs are very important products for patients that are in pain and they came on the market about 15 years ago. one of the problems with extended release drugs is that abusers found that by crushing
11:17 pm
them, snorting and injecting they could get a release of the entire load of the product in one fell swoop. that would cause the high. that made them very interested in those drugs. >> reporter: this is how it works. there are two active parts of the abuse deterrent formulation in these pills. one is the hardening of the pill that makes it nearly impossible to crush it fine enough to be snorted. the other is a gelling agent that makes it impossible to go through most syringes. co hedge says the federal government needs to take -- cohen says the federal government need to take action to give manufacturers incentives to make the latest abuse deterrents reality for all drugs. >> legislation is being introduced later this year in congress that would call for exactly that. >> reporter: which is welcome news for meg and patty who continue to fight substance abuse in our neighborhoods. >> takes a village. >> raise our kids safe. >> and drug free. >> reporter: andrea roane, wusa9. >> experts say the abuse deterrent formulas do not
11:18 pm
affect the care the patient receives through the extended release mechanisms. we contacted pharma that represents the pharmaceutical industry and in a statement they said pharma supports abuse deterrent formulas alongside other platforms while permitting access to patients who have legitimate medical need for those prescriptions. let's talk tech for a minute? the cultural phenom known as facebook just may be following myspace into the black hole of oblivion. >> oh, no. >> a new survey shows most american teenagers don't use facebook anymore. their go to sites, instagram, twitter, facebook a distant third. that survey was conducted by investment bank piper jaffray. you can remember this. facebook owns instagram, so mark zuckerberg probably will not have to cut back on his ferraris. always watching, always tracking wusa9 first alert weather.

>> some of those young kid, even twitter is kind of falling -- kids, even twitter is kind of falling by the wayside, it's snap sham and instagram. -- snapchat and instagram. >> relative humidity 37%, winds, north, northwest at 16, but tomorrow they calm down. tomorrow bus stop temperatures 45 to 62. if you walk your child to the bus stop, a sweatshirt a good idea, nice thursday, just afternoon clouds and mostly cloudy friday with a few showers. i think generally they'll be light and generally late after the evening rush, but howard and i and erica are watching for the possibility of making friday and saturday morning a yellow alert. thursday morning we have 55 downtown but 40s north and west, even 50 down in la plata and by 8:00 still rather chilly, 48 in gaithersburg, 49
11:20 pm
leesburg, 48 manassas and look at that, not a cloud in the sky in the morning, but by lunchtime we have high clouds in gaithersburg and leesburg, mid-60s there, near 70 downtown. there will be showers out toward oakland, maybe creeping over the divide into cumberland, certainly in oakland. by 4:00 clouds again now extend almost to fairfax and right along i-66. i think these showers are overdone. i don't really see a shower as far east as frederick or gaithersburg, but a lot of clouds keep sinking south. by 6 p.m. manassas mostly cloudy, temps in the 60s and by 8:00 maybe 59 in gaithersburg but mainly low to mid-60s with cloud cover. cloud cover will keep us warmer tomorrow night. by 9:30 it's 64 downtown and still dry through tomorrow night. overnight clear, much cooler, low temperatures 45 to 55 winds west at 10.
11:21 pm
by morning mostly sunny, pleasant. grab your shades, 45 to 68 and by afternoon still a very nice day, not 80, but high temperatures in the blow 70s to becoming partly sunny which means clouds will increase. so we have 50s to start downtown temps, 55 at 7:00, 58 at 9:00, 65 at 11:00, 69 with sunshine at 1 p.m., although clouds start to creep in north and west by 1:00. showers on friday, mainly late, 69. it could impact the o's game and high school football, will not cancel or delay either one. morning rain and showers saturday, 68. i'm optimistic. i think we'll clear saturday afternoon. we'll keep sunday clear, 70, the front very close and next week milder with more showers, highs in the mid-70s. robert griffin, iii on the field today? he was out this afternoon. coming up in sports how involved he was in practice and what did coach gruden have to

>> hi, everyone. much has been made of robert griffin, iii's rehab and possible return to the field for the redskins. we still don't have definitive word when he'll be back leading the burgundy and gold, but he was back on the practice field today. rg3 took part in warm-up stretching with his teammates in their first practice since monday night's loose to the seahawks. he did light running on the side field and all this without a boot. griffin dislocated his ankle september 14th against the jaguars and was expected to be out six to eight weeks. here's the latest today from head coach jay gruden. >> i don't have any idea as far as a timetable is concerned. once he feels like he can start to run and start to practice then we'll slowly install him, but it will be at least a week or two of good full practice before he gets back on the field. he'll need the reps and get back with the offense. >> this time tomorrow night we'll be talking about hockey as the capitals open their 40th season at home against montreal. the team plans to host the 40th
