surprisingly. by mid afternoon. >> she shouldn't have had to gone to you to get this taken care of but what is important here is we have committed and we are going to work with her attorneys and we will be paying her what she is asking for to close the sale of her home. >> reporter: as to how soon exactly pg&e would not say. nor would pg&e talk about paying for the contents of the house but for one family at least definitely progress tonight. in san bruno, wayne freedman, abc 7 news. in san francisco, an investigation tonight after a muni bus hit a pedestrian and killed her. it happened around 18th and hartford streets in the castro district. tomas ramon is there with more. >> people have been stopping by and lighting candles and saying prayers for the victim of this tragic accident. this is the 9th fatality in fran? fran this year.

this is the 9th pedestrian fatality in san francisco so far this year. >> every year, over 800 people are hit by cars in san francisco. we really need to have safer streets. when this many people get hit by cars that is just not okay. >> reporter: now, edward reskin the director of the san francisco transportation authority put out the statement i express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the pedestrian killed in the tragic accident this afternoon moving a muni bus. the victim in the accident has not been identified and the hit-and-run detail of the san francisco police department is investigating but neither the results of the investigation nor the victim's identity will be released any time soon. reporting live in san francisco, tomas ramon, abc 7 news. thanks very much. the suspect in a fatal hit-and-run crash that took the life of a 4-year-old santa rosa boy had been arrested twice before for driving without a license.

police say that 22-year-old marcus garcia was ordered not to drive until he appeared in court. something they say he diso dis. the boy was in the cross walk when a car hit him around 6:00 last night. he had been lagging behind his twin 6-year-old sister and their mother. the boy died this morning at children's hospital in oakland. a person listening through a police scanner heard a description of the car and that helped lead police to the suspect. the witness saw the suspect peeling off a decal from the car's rear window. neighbors are organizing a petition to get a signal light for that intersection. a stanford student had disappeared in malaysia after going on tour with the choral grou when everyone else returned home he went touring across asia. he contacted his family daily until several days ago. his parents last heard from him on sunday. his choral professor says jacob

followed. this year, marin county did the same. all of them were looking for something more environmentally friendly. while city and counties were talking about a ban, the american chemistry council, a lobbying group for the plastics industry was hard at work proposing changes to a section of the 11th grade environmental textbook. for example, a section in that textbook focused on problems with plastic bags. the chemistry council quickly recommended another section on the benefits of plastic shopping bags. susan rust is a reporter with california watch, which began the investigation. several environmental groups told her why they have a problem with the american chemistry council's input. >> what has happened here is that the government has opened up our children's curriculum, our children's education to private interests. >> reporter: here is how it started. in 2004, the california environmental protection agency was preparing a new curriculum

and looking for input from the public. that is when the american chemistry council stepped in. the cal epa assigned a consultant, gerald lieberman and his staff to oversee all comments. lieberman has helped several state departments of education to enhance environmental education in schools. the california epa talked on lieberman's behalf. >> ultimately all of those comments and the revisions that stem from them were ultimately reviewed by the curriculum commission, by the staff at the california department of education and by the state board of educations. >> and apparently no one opposed it. here is an example of what was added to the textbook at the recommendation of the chemistry council. plastic grocery bags require 70% less energy to manufacture than paper bags. >> absolutely false. >> reporter: mark murray is with californians against waste an environmental lobbying group. >> the production of plastic grocery tech bags consumes more

resources, more energy both to produce them and transport them to the grocery stores than the equivalent amount of paper bags. >> reporter: he and other environmental activists insist plastic bags are bad for wildlife, leach toxic chemicals and take years to decompose. another example of what was put in the textbook. plastic bags can be reused. for example to line household waste baskets. the american chemistry council issued this statement today. the purpose of our comments was to correct factual inaccuracies and present a more complete view of plastic bag's environmental attributes. according to rust, students must be give and test on the benefits of plastic shopping bags. >> if you were told list the advantages of shopping bags and if you don't get those right you get five points off.

that teaches a child this is a correct answer and this is a valid point of view. >> reporter: the senator who introduced the legislation requiring that environmental principles be taught in california schools. she now asked that a change be made to the textbook. >> i'm asking the state board of education to please consider that. >> reporter: and the full list of school districts using this curriculum can be viewed at california watch.org. in the newsroom, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. now, you the incredible lengths police went to so bust a child predator. a child molestor from elk grove offered enough clues in his photograph to lead to his arrest and conviction. reporter george warren has the story. >> reporter: pedophiles often their share garbage on the internet and the garbage shared by one pedophile in particular

included dozens of images of a single child and one image of an actual garbage container from elk grove, california. >> we steve the pictures from the national center for missing and exploited children and then found online from another country receiving the pictures all we know is that it happened in elk grove and from there we had to try and use every other detail we could to narrow it down. >> the detective organized a canvas of every elementary school in elk grove and even neighboring communities but nobody recognized the girl in the pictures. so he began looking at the houses in the pictures for any distinctive architecture or other unique markers. he drove around this community of track homes essentially searching for a need until a heystack. after a month of searching it was here on this street that detective p api neau finally found his needle. in the side yard of one of

those homes was a split fence board that perfectly matched the fence in one of the pedophile's photographs. the owner of the home at the time the picture was taken was brad daily who had since moved. a search of his new home led to even more pictures and videotapes of the same child, enough evidence to effectively send dailey to prison for life, thanks to one garbage can, one split fence board and one tenacious detective. >> the time we found her and saw that she was the real girl after looking for months was the most rewarding thing i ever experienced in law enforcement. >> reporter: in elk grove, george warren, abc 7 news. a lot more to tonight. michael finley follows up on the smoke alarm recommendations of the state fire marshall.

recommendations released today by the state fire marshall fall short of endorsing new smoke alarms that many believe could save lives in california. michael finney reported on the new generation of smoke alarms last night and has an update for us now. >> the dual sensor photo ion alarm will go off sooner.

now, we have the photo ion alarm starting right now. >> reporter: a demonstration conducted by the pail tow alto fire department for 7 on your side shows how photo electric alarms can save valuable minutes. this this experiment a photo electric alarm alerts home owners of a slow smoldering fire less than two minutes after smoke begins to form. >> now, the ionization. one went off. >> reporter: the more common ionization alarms used in 90% of homes took more than ten minutes to sound the alarm. the state fire marshall wasn't available today for comment but a spokesperson told us the state fire marshall does not endorse one technology over another. gordon sim kinson of the palo alto fire department sits on the state's smoke alarm task force and supports the use of photoelectric alarms over ionization. he believes if the recommendations are atonighted

ionization eye lams would eventually be phased out. >> one of the reason they are selected is they are less expensive. the price differencial will start to go away. >> reporter: the recommendation includes that ionization alarms be placed no less than 20 feet away from cooking appliances. that is because they are prone to false alarms, leading people to pull out the batteries. the recommendations call for clear instructions on packaging about where the alarms should be placed. sim kinson things those would drive consume hes to photo electric alarms, thus driving down the price as the demand increases. >> the fact that we made some significant recommendations to me represents a solid step forward for fire safety in california. >> the state fire marshall is recommending that smoke alarms be replaced every ten years and that ten year batteries be used. we attempted to get a comment

but the national manufacturer's electric association did not return our call. state legislators introduced a new bill that would give landlords the power to ba to ban smoking. nor alex padilla says that measure is long overdue when you consider the restrictions on other tenants. >> we have lease agreements or rental agreements that can prohibit pets and noise or loud activity for the sake of the quality living environment for the other tenants yet we haven't done it for whether people can smoke or not smoke. >> padilla says the measure will give families more smoke free housing. almost a third of housing in california consists of connected multidwelling units. the weekend is here. spencer is here. what is in store? >> it's cool.

brutal triple murder. the men who came to be known as the west memphis three were convicted of killing three young cub scouts in 1993. the case quickly became a legal lightning rod. nor from jim avila. >> nearly two decades after they were convicted of murdering three boy scouts hog-tied and left in a ditch and four years after abc 7 news first broke word of dna evidence that could exonerate them, today the west memphis three walked three. three outcasts with mullets and dark clothing who dabbled in the occult. damien, jesse and jason. teenagers then. in their mid 30s today. convicted in what many labeled a literal witch hunt, no physical evidence against them. >> we are innocent and they sent us to prison for the rest of our lives. >> damien echels was sentenced to death but then a long road

that he did do it almost entirely for me. >> that was jim avila reporting. the prosecutor says despite releasing the men he believes they murdered the boy scouts and that explain why he is not looking for any other suspects but is this case really closed. legal analyst dan abram says there are two factors at work. >> considering all of the new evidence that has come forward. considering witnesses who recanted their original accounts it is very hard to believe that ness prosecutors don't have serious questions about what happened. there is no way these prosecutors would have let three men walk out the door including one who was on death row if they believed that at a retrial they would even get anywhere close to proof beyond a reasonable doubt. now, to a judge's ruling. work life balm coulds up frequently. a court said basically don't expect your company to help, none of us is legally entitled

out of the nearly $800 billion, that is less than 1/100 of 1% of the total. how about the claim that the stimulus may fill potholes but it will leave no lasting legacy. >> right, and that martons are about to land on earth. there are a lot of things people can say but a that doesn't make them true. >> you need look no further than the tunnel board to see a stimulus funded project with a lasting impact. why do they get all of the attention? the professor believes it is because outlandish statements draw attention. saying there isn't a lot government can do but it is doing what it can and if we all pull together we will get out of it eventually isn't all that excite jag, find a link to the fact check at abc7.com. look on the politics page. in the newsroom, mark matthews, abc 7 news. apple plans to begin production of an ipad three in october. the "wall street journal" says
