>> she's like one of those older people who were just like living life and she got to be 89 and someone cut her throw. i don't get it. it's just us rages much it's sad and it's outrageous. >> reporter: homicide investigators say they do not have a motive at this point. they say her house was not ransacked and there was no signs of force the entry. right now all they have going is they want to try to find that silver 2007 toyota with a pennsylvania license plate pd pd1402x. they also tell us they're talking with bruner's son and homicide detectives right now trying to come up with any leads to find a killer to 85-year-old regina bruner. guys? >> all right, chris, thank you. thousands of residents in gloucester county are still feeling the effects of last tuesday's powerful storm. about 2800 people still without power. it's got electric crews working

around the clock clearing all those trees and repairing power lines. our shawnette wilson is live in gibbstown tonight. shawnette a long six day for those still in the dark. >> it has been. can you imagine? several trees are still down in this neighborhood and driving in we did see utility companies and tree services out but take a look behind me. you can see the trees uprooted from last week's storm are still down and crews have been up in buckets near power lines trying to move very large trees. now, in the area crews are working but we also noticed still quite a bit of power lines affected by fallen trees. that of course caused this week long problem for some people who still do not have power. atlantic city electric says it has assigned crews to all remaining outages. we also learned that pse&g the state's largest utility company is sending 100 workers to help out atlantic city electric. those additional crews will be here tomorrow morning all around south jersey i'm told. meanwhile people still without power are losing comfort, food and most of all patience.

>> i've done my part. i've tried really hard to make sure i made all the right calls to the right people. taken care of my mom who's by herself in the house with my sister. so we're just checking on each other and trying to get through as a community. as far as the politicians helping us, haven't seen a whole lot state level wise. >> reporter: and so efforts are somewhat few till. we had that storm over the weekend saturday into sunday and that hampered crews efforts to try to get out. it slowed down the progress to get power back on. also utility companies point out when you get that kind of rain it continues to weaken the soil and also trees. so you could see more limbs falling which of course poses a threat of more power going out. but of course we're hoping for the best as more crews arrive here in south jersey tomorrow morning. back to you. >> yes, we are, shawnette. while a lot of people are still cleaning up, the weather isn't giving them much of a break. chief meteorologist scott williams is outside our studios looks great right now scott the

over it. now, cars and trucks even straddle the mess or have to veer around it. >> eventually someone is going to get hur. >> reporter: jones says he and his neighbors have called the city's 311 hotline repeatedly to no effect. he's fed up with the streets department. >> we'll fill it up, it looks nice. we'll go. now you got a bucket there. what else you going put there later? a person? >> reporter: high scene enough. i snapped some photos of the buck. sent them to the streets department. a repair crew was on the scene within an hour or so. they ripped the bucket from the street then filled the remaining hole with dirt and rock. then barricaded the sight to warn motorists. late in the afternoon more good news. the streets department e-mailed me to promise they will be out next week to fill the hole properly and complete the repaving. mr. jones' reaction -- >> and i thank you again. boy, that was fast. why couldn't we have just did that from the jump street fixed right and we wouldn't have to go

senate the state may stop asking for restitution and just take it. ♪ >> new bill in harrisburg has some people wondering whether inmates should have what they call luxuries while the people they victimized are left to do without. house bill 1089 would make inmates pay 25% of their earnings and 50% of any money put into their prison account by friends and family to pay back the victims of their crime. the bill sponsor says this isn't just a no brainer. >> before we allow inmates to go ahead and buy television in the prison commissary we ought to make sure they've repaid their victims the restitution they owed. >> social media and prisoner advocates aren't as clear on this bill. many seem to think that taking away money from friends and family give for basic necessities is just too harsh of a punishment. >> when family members send money to their -- to they loved ones that money is meant for

them to buy and be able to care for themselves. >> reporter: they also question if the bill punishes friends and family members much more than it punishes the actual prisoner. >> really what you're doing is making it hard on the familyies. that's what you're doing. you're being tough on familyies who are presently living in poverty themselves that scraping up a couple of dollars to send to they loved ones. this legislation is not hard on prisoners. this legislation is hard on families. >> reporter: representative stephens acknowledges some of the money would come from family and friends. but to put it bluntly he's much more concerned about the victims of the crime. >> i don't think inmate should benefit from those dollars before the victim is repaid. >> reporter: now not surprising social media is evenly split between people who support the bill and people who think taking money from loved ones goes too far. but we want to know from our viewers think. they can leave their comments on our fox 29 facebook page or tweet us at fox 29 philly.

look at that humidity. only at 38%. unheard of really for this late in june. as we take look at the temperatures right now it's 78 in allentown. 77 in lancaster as well as pottstown. upper 70s millville, atlantic city so beautiful area wide. tomorrow we might have to watch out for a few gusty thunderstorms some of which could be strong to severe. we'll talk about that in a moment. the humidity builds each and every day this week as well then for the fourth of july looking ahead. there might be a few scattered showers and storms just keep that in mind but does it not look like a wash out whatsoever. as we take look at sat right and radar we're dry and quiet. high pressure has been in control but off to the west, you can see some nasty showers thunderstorms, severe weather actually as we take a look you can see southern sections of ohio right now tornadoes watch boxes posted there. a couple of tornado warnings actually as well as severe thunderstorm warnings. so this energy will head in our direction tomorrow afternoon and evening. you can see the areas

highlighted in yellow. primarily west of philadelphia. we have the threat for some gusty winds or some hail with any of those thunderstorms that develop during the heat of the day tomorrow. so as we roll the clock ahead it's dry and quiet to start. the humidity starts to build. some breaks in the clouds. and then you can see by lunch time, far north and west we'll be watching a broken line of showers and thunderstorms approach the philadelphia area. but once again, most of the showers and storms are going to stay to the west of us throughout the day. south jersey it's fine as well as most of delaware. it's not really until about five 6:00 o'clock when some of the activity tries to move toward the philadelphia i-95 corridor sparing once again most of south jersey and delaware with tomorrow's system. but once again, some of those storms could be on the gusty side of things. so temperatures tonight it's 60 in the burbs. mid 60s in the city. fair skies it will be quiet and still pretty comfortable. tomorrow the humidity build as bit temperatures top out in the mid 80s. that's pretty average for this time of year but once again some

of those storms could develop west of the area during the heat of the day. as we preview the up coming weekend down the shore, for the holiday, looking pretty good. temperatures upper 70s low 80s. there might be a pop-up shower or storm on the fourth of july water temperatures now climbing into the low 70s. as we look at that seven day forecast, it looks a little unsettled and ominous but once again not widespread coverage of the showers and storms. mainly pop-up and mainly during the heat of the day and as we move ahead to the fourth of july in philadelphia, a high of 86 degrees. that humidity really starts to ramp up though sunday into monday. it's going to be more like iain weather with temperatures shopping out right around 90 degrees. no heat waves this week and pop up showers and storms during the heat of the day. >> all right. sounds good. >> for warned. >> all right. hey, howard. >> a warning, all right. the phillies, they made news today even though the first team to get to 50 losses. they have a new president and ce
