12:16 pm
expanded on the federal level. >> we have in california a really great system in southern cal, specifically in law enforcement indebted. we have a clearinghouse, an intelligence center where actions of anyone is kept on our radar, and we start seeing people do various conduct, like he had to buy that equipment from somewhere. we just have to take more of a vigilance on what is going on and not really blaming anybody. but we got to improve what i call intelligence based policing. >> chief jensen says with the california system, data on those suspicious people is collected and stored and disseminated when needed. authorities in the south bay say they have solved a cold case dating back to 1978. a teacher was stabbed to death in the hallway of her school, and the killer was never found. ktvu mark sayer explains how

police department, he spontaneously accused the police officers of trying to pin the murder of the teacher on him. >> in the 1980s, another witness told police about a confession and a very unusual knife. >> and he showed me the knife that he used. and mr. according to the witness, mr. nickerson carved the words teacher dear into the knife handle. >> nickerson died in 1993, but in recent years the cold case unit reopened this case and when forensic evidence went cold, they went looking for any living relatives of nickerson using old fashioned detective work. >> it was very unusual. it's both surprising and refreshing and also encouraging that old fashioned police work can still solve crime. >> in a statement, the campbell union high school district said though the events of this case took place decades ago and prior to our current leadership, we recognize the seriousness of the incident and the impact it may have had on those connected to the school at the time. we hope
12:19 pm
