been cracked only to be ignored. >> there was somebody laying on the landing in the third or fourth floor of the stairwell 8. the communication center staff responded, "we'll take care of it." there was no indication that anyone was dispatched to that stairwell. >> it wasn't until october 8th, 17 days after her disappearance, that lyn was found by someone checking locks. in san francisco, andrea, kpix 5. tonight a mom in sunnyvale is weight for her newborn son to come home. police say the baby's dad kidnapped him last night after an argument. 22-year-old made it across the border into mexico where mexican police eventually arrested him. >> i was really afraid that i wouldn't be able to find him again or see him again. i was really scared. >> work to transfer him and his son back to the united states.

for five or six years. >> it's highly extras ordinary for us to be told do budget cuts and turn them in by tomorrow or friday. we had maybe a two-day advance notice to affect the lives of faculty and students that will never be replaced. we've been told these cuts were permanent. >> the way these cuts were handled also could hurt the university's reputation. in san jose, lyn ramirez, kpix 5. >> spring enrollment begins on tuesday. a fire ball lit up the sky from phoenix to la to as far north as fresno tonight. paul as that has video. >> these reports came in all over southern california. they hit twitter and spread like fire. the thought a fire ball could be from a meteor shower. it was. this brief video, watch closely, shot north of los angeles in the san fernando valley. see that bright glowing ball falling toward earth and disapeerg. that was a meteor, foeks. that shoir actually continues

citizens. >> you think this goes way way beyond pursuing terrorests? >> absolutely. >> controversy went public earlier this year when edward snowden leaked classified documents, however, wjz learned congress may have had a warning about this years ago. that's when binney says he first raised concerns this program had been turned against americans. >> the government can't admit a mistake. they have to cover up everything. >> binney resigned in protests and that's when really start. >> that was 2007 when the fbi raid. they came, pushed their way in with guns drawn. they took computers and all the electronic equipment we had. >> the government thinks you overstepped the boundaries and possibly put the country at risk by coming forward and exposing some of the things you think are wrong. what do you say to that? >> i say they are violating the foundation of this country. the thing that makes this country strong, the rights and

freedoms we have in the constitution. >> not everyone thinks the government has gone too far. both presidents bush and obama have said the program is necessary and doesn't violate citizens rights. tonight we learned the guy who oversaw the launch of healthcare.gov is resigning he claims not because of all the glitches but because of restructuring. the meantime health and human services secretary got grilled again on capitol hill today. sochl lawmakers called for her to resign. others said the government contractors must be pun irked. >> i want you to burn their fingers and make them pay. >> we know that lying to congress is a crime, but unfortunately lying to the american people is not. >> today, president obama said that he anticipates that the web site will be work the wait's supposed to be by the end of the month. we have not heard about the high speed rail project in quite awhile, you know, the one that's supposed to connect the bay area and los angeles.

>> we're talking about it tonight because sharon chin discovered the rail project is running right over some little-noeven tunnels, tunnels that back in the day were place to party. >> in the heart of china town from a secret entryway, we descended under the streets into one basement. our guide committee activist is in the late 1870s and for decades afterward, this was part of an underground china town, a haven for gambling, prostitution, opium and drinking under prohibition. >> people would always talk about don't go under because there's things down there that's dangerous. >> china town revitalization, says she's led more than 1500 people on tours into this dark world over the years, under the cob scombebs behind peepholes. she shines light on her history. as a boy, her father used to run

here with friends. >> they would challenge each other and say i bet i could go from here to over here and see how fast they could doit. >> almost like a secret maize? >> yeah yes. >> the rooms were hidden under the streets of family-owned shops, schools and temples. historic china town once housed a donz ethnic communities including african americans, greeks and japanese. this fall, archaeologists are digging for remnants of china town's history. the rail project could run through the edge of china town, and the rail authority wants to make sure it's not destroying culturally sensitive artifacts like a rumored underground tunnel. >> most of the old doors are filled in and locked up today, but families who lived a long time say they're all part of an underground tunnel network. >> so you think this archway was part of the tounl tunnel? >> uh-huh. connecters. because the question would be why would you have these in a

basement? >> fresno city preservation officer says there is a series of connecting basements, but a tunnel? >> i define a tunnel as a free-sthanding sub surface structure, and today the city of fresno and myself as a train historian, we are not documented any free standing structures like that. >> so far archaeologists digging in china town have found potteries, a doll and fireplace. nothing earth shattering, but fears the rail line could close the door on an important part of fresno history. >> help us save this historic resource before it's gone. >> in fresno, sharon chin kpix 5. >> high speed rail consultants plan several more digs in the next few weeks. all right. check your weather right now. yeah, it's that time of year where we can start to expect a little change, huh? >> we need the change, yeah. we're going to see it. it is coming. just a matter of time. late in getting here. we have been bone dry for the

storms to get here. high pressure moving away but still strong, still close. all the storms pass by to our north. big storm for seattle and portland tomorrow. we don't get a drop of rain from it. but by the top of next week, high pressure does move enough over arizona and new mexico. the storm door if you will will open and the storms that were just hitting the northwest will now hit northern california giving us much-needed rain fall. when does this happen? likely sunday night into monday. next couple days sunny. more sunshine, the clouds exactly what you've been getting. still be dry. rain fall is coming. it begins sunday night after a dry weekend. it'll last all the way through tuesday. tomorrow, yourz thursday, friday eve. livermore tomorrow 73. san jose 70. sunshine in sunny vail with high of 68. big football game in palo alto tomorrow. high of 68 degrees. walnut kriek, san ramon 72. vallejo 71. mill valley 69 degrees. alameda 68. sunshine in cloverdale with a
