6:03 am
family dispute or kidnapping. both parents were questioned but they weren't considered suspects. one of the questions they want answered is why when the baby was discovered at 6:00 they waited until 6:20 to call police. hope to get some answer later on today. >> thank you. bail is a million dollars for the man arrested for beating giants fan bryan stow in los angeles in march. >> police made the arrest at daybreak yesterday. sharon chin is in san francisco where stow is still in critical condition and has more. good morning. reporter: good morning. the big break in the case came from a parole officer. he happened to notice that one of his parolees apparently was adding several new tatoos on his neck apparently to cover one that he already had. lapd s.w.a.t. teams armed with search warrants raided a home in an east hollywood apartment building early sunday morning. at the apartment, police say 31- year-old giovanni ramirez surrendered.
6:04 am
police believe he is the key suspect in the beating of giants fan bryan stow. they believe he is the main agresser in beating bryan stow. an "l.a. times" source says three witnesses identified him in a line-up. lapd's chief says the arrest follows a parole officer's hunt and hundreds of tips. 20 full time detectives have been on the case for more than 6,000 hours. >> during that work, surveillance was done, a lot of background investigation was done and more information was developed that led to enough information that we were able to obtain a search warrant for this individual. >> reporter: the arrest comes 52 days after bryan stow was brutally beaten in the parking lot of dodger stadium after the season opener. the santa cruz paramedic and father of two remains in critical condition here at san francisco general hospital. investigators are now looking for two other suspects another man who took part in the beating and a woman who drove the getaway car. police and s.w.a.t. team members say they seized evidence from the apartment building where they arrested

6:07 am
at the coast low 70s inland. we'll have more later on in the show but first elizabeth has traffic. >> thank you. first of all let you know we just took a call from the kcbs phone force. a new accident on the nimitz northbound 880 approaching 5th and embarcadero. sounds like a couple of lanes are blocked so we have launched chopper 5. they are about to head towards that scene. it sounds like traffic is backed up about a quarter mile right now and growing. let's go to our maps and we can show you more traffic conditions across the bay area. bay bridge high wind advisory in effect at the bay bridge toll plaza, san mateo bridge and westbound 580 traffic out of the altamont pass. so yeah, breezy conditions causing some issues on the roads as well this morning. back to you. >> thank you. 6 7. a monster tornado killed dozens of people in missouri. neighborhoods have been wiped up. how much gas prices should drop just in time for the big

6:11 am
this is the monster tornado that ripped through a missouri town killing dozens and leaving a path of destruction in its wake. >> this morning, the missouri national guard is aiding in search and rescue efforts. jim spellman is live in joplin missouri with the latest. >> reporter: we learned this morning that the death toll is currently 89 people here in joplin. they expect that, unfortunately to rise. to try to keep that number as low as possible they are doing a door-to-door grid search right now. every structure in town that looked damaged that somebody possibly still trying to keep shelter in it they are going to try to keep them and keep that death toll down. they have a lot of obstacles. there is no electricity, downed power lines making roads impassable, gas lines broken and there are fires from the gas lines. there is debris everywhere. take a look at this. cars strewn about like toys.
6:12 am
you think this was a junkyard but it's a hospital, st. john's regional medical center. the hospital took a direct hit right where people would go in a disaster like this for help out of commission. even the medevac helicopter destroyed on the helipad near the emergency room. a huge it's tok help anybody that's here. and more huge for this community to try to find a way to come back long term. back to you. >> jim, exactly what time did this tornado hit and did people get a warning? do you have tornado sirens in the area? >> yes. indeed, actually they got a 20- minute warning. usually they only get about a seven-minute warning. we're not sure how much that may have saved people. if you were taking shelt near home, we have seen block after block, mile after mile of completely destroyed homes. i'm not sure what kind of shelter any of these structures would give you and it's really that scope that i think is ultimately going to be the biggest impact. we're used to seeing one neighborhood, you know, perhaps destroyed. but this is just block after
6:13 am
block, mile after mile. it's staggering. i have never seen anything like this. >> how big a path? was it a mile wide? how long? how long did it do its damage. >> reporter: well, we are not sure how long it went. they say it was about a half mile to three-quarters of a mile, but that it went on for miles and miles. driving into town, it's so random, you know, you go for several blocks and everything is normal then you cross the line into that path of destruction and it looks like you have entered a war zone. there is no other way to describe it. it looks like you're in a foreign country in the middle of a war or something. even though half mile to three- quarters mile doesn't sound big, right through the heart of town where so many people live and work, that's why i think it's going to have such a huge impact. it hit right in the worst possible place. back to you. >> it's amazing that -- i'm sure they will find some other bodies sadly but 89 people considering what we're seeing there is you know -- it's very
6:14 am
sad. >> jim, thanks very much. jim spellman in joplin, missouri. time now 6:14. police arrest suspects in the beating of giants fan bryan stow. we'll have a live report.

downtown oakland. one of those cars hit some kind of container filled with liquid so again we are hearing that traffic is stacked up about a quarter mile and growing. we have a camera, the closest camera near the coliseum and so far traffic is moving fine past hegenberger but again, once you get closer towards 5th, embarcadero, that's when we are hearing that there are delays. also, mass transit note. if you use the alameda harbor bay ferry, mechanical issues and right now there is no service for the alameda harbor bay ferry. everything else bart, ace, muni metro, caltrain, everything on mass transit is on time. south bay no problems here, as well. everything is nice and quiet out of downtown san jose in the northbound lanes of 280. and a quick check of the ride out of the altamont pass. we just got some brake lights well at the wind advisory on westbound 580. that's your traffic and weather. back to you. did you get enough sleep last night? >> never enough on a sunday. always so much to do. >> this story might be for you.

6:37 am
to our metering lightses being turned on over at the bay bridge toll plaza. that means that our backups aren't too bad, either. i think chopper is going to head that way right now. we have a high wind advisory in effect at the bay bridge, san mateo bridge and one for westbound 580 out of the altamont pass. there is that live look at traffic approaching the pay gates. and it actually looks like maybe they just turned on the metering lights. a little hard to tell you about yeah, so pretty slow up the incline, as well. thank you, chopper 5. all right. let's go to our maps. want to let you know about alameda harbor bay ferry service. no service right now and it's actually due to all these high winds. there's some wind damage to the walkway that leads to the boat. so yeah, no alameda harbor bay ferry service at all this morning. ace train numbers one and three fine. muni and caltrain no problems. that is your traffic. back to you. >> thank you. things are settled down again at san quentin state prison after nearly 200 inmates rioted over the weekend starting at 7:00 last night at

6:39 am
good morning. >> reporter: hi, frank. with 600 million members now, 70% living outside the u.s., it's easy to see why facebook is looking for more foreign representation. the company's putting together a global policy team whose job will be to be the face of facebook to foreign governments and also report back about any privacy or regulatory issues that are different from in the u.s. a tech analyst says facebook is trying to find ways to survive and thrive internationally. >> that means that they have to have good relationships with the government where they are operating. that's not always easy. whether it's google or facebook, they are going to come up against free speech issues, come up against taxation issues. >> reporter: google did something similar to this back in 2006. if you're interested in any of these positions, the bar is being set pretty high by facebook. the company is posting for its middle east position says the applicant needs at least 10
