when the child was seen. >> reporter: it implies you suspect of father of having something to do with the disappearance. >> it implies we need to find someone who saw the child since the 27th. that's what it means. you can read what you want into it, linda. i think that already a lot of suspicions out there. and they need to be either alleviated or confirmed. >> reporter: are you suspicious? >> sure. >> reporter: now, in the meantime, searchers have scoured the waterways in the area. they have put flyers up in the neighborhood and police are asking anyone who saw daphne or her father in the last two weeks to come forward. that father says he doesn't know who might have seen them together. he says he has mainly stayed home with daphne during that time period. the fbi is now helping in the search for daphne. back to you. >> there were reports last week that a woman was seen with daphne. has anything come out of that? >> reporter: police are still looking into that possibility. at least two people confirm that they did see a woman in

her 30s dark skin with long straight black hair with the girl matching daphne's description within a couple of blocks from the area that she disappeared. so that is another possible lead this morning. >> all right. anne makovec live for us this morning in oakland, thank you. oakland police officers outnumbered protestors in the fourth night of demonstrations after the verdict in the george zimmerman trial. the protests were peaceful much of the night. our cameras did capture a brief clash with officers when police asked the group to turn down a loudspeaker. an oakland organization that gives a voice to young people is dealing with damage from vandals. youth radio needs $15,000 to replace windows that were smashed monday night. a youth radio personality says he doesn't think the vandals knew the group works to tell the stories of young people. >> youth radio does so much work for the community. you would figure that the people in the community who are fighting for justice would know it's about amplifying the youth voice and making sure that justice is heard on all levels. >> the vandalism didn't stop

loudspeaker. but other than that, things were low key. an oakland organization giving voices to young people is dealing with damage from vandals. youth radio needs $15,000 to replace windows that were smashed monday night. their executive director doesn't think the vandals were local or they wouldn't have hit the facility. >> more than likely he was not from oakland because if you are from oakland you're aware of the community institution that youth radio is. >> oakland police say most of the people arrested for vandalism monday night were not from oakland. an oakland waiter is recovering after he was attacked by protestors on monday. a masked man hit him in the face with a hammer at the restaurant flora in oakland. drew cribley was trying to protect the business when the protestors moved in. in l.a., protestors attacked a kcbs tv reporter, dave bryan, and his photographer. they were in the middle of a live interview monday night. cameras were rolling as the two men who attacked them ran away.

full power. other utilities have made arrangements to meet demand including asking customers to reduce electricity use. but it's hard to do when you have high humidity. >> so uncomfortable. >> many people die in that kind of heat. but we'll see our own heat in the bay area at least you will have a place to escape i think if you head to the coastline. you'll be saying, what heat wave? but the next few days going to get hot especially as you head inland. this morning, though, we are starting out with low clouds and fog, stretching well onshore. 50s and 60s out the door. you can see the fog bank has made its way well inland but high pressure building overhead so i think that's going to compress it somewhat. it means it's going to burn off earlier so these temperatures going to be warmer in the afternoon as high as 89 in morgan hill. about 83 in cupertino. 80 in san jose and sunny. east bay temperatures really going to pop. upper 80s into antioch. 88 in livermore. 86 in walnut creek. and then inside the bay not as hot but still comfortable. 70 degrees in oakland. and about 66 degrees in san francisco. some places headed near triple digits in the next few days.

"a" street to lone tree way and bart right now has 43 trains and they are all running on time. that's traffic. back to you guys. >> thank you. the pilots of asiana flight 214 are worried they will be sent to prison. the korean flight crew returned to seoul a few days ago. the "wall street journal" says the pilots expressed concern about being criminally charged. south korea law allows prison sentences up to three years for pilot negligence. the final decision will hinge on that country's own investigation. three chinese students died in the crash at sfo on july 6. a bay area woman is the first passenger to sue asiana. the woman and her 8-year-old son suffered back and neck injuries. they are suing the airline for $5 million. 5:37 now. the lion that mauled a volunteer at a fresno area wild park was in perfect health when it attacked. investigators originally thought the lion may have had a diseased brain from rabies but that wasn't the case. the 24-year-old diane hanson was mauled by the lion in march

92 partly cloudy skies in chicago. 92 and partly cloudy also and hot in new york. around the bay today, you will see those temperatures soaring with some sunshine to 80 in san jose. 89 in morgan hill. and about 75 degrees in fremont. 60s at the coastline. upper 80s in many of the interior valleys for today so those temperatures really beginning to warm up and then i think it turns into 90s as we head in toward tomorrow. and even some upper 90s as we get toward saturday and sunday. flirting with some triple-digit heat. then cooling down with a few more clouds coming our way as we head in toward next monday and tuesday. all right. let's check the roads with elizabeth. thanks, lawrence. back out to walnut creek it is definitely our problem spot so far this morning. so two separate accidents in fact. both on southbound 680. one approaching 24. another one approaching north main. that's why it's really beginning to stack up. it looks like it's in the clearing stages, one of these accidents already off to the right-hand shoulder. another one they say to give it another few minutes and then they hope to have all lanes open. in the meantime, a tow was actually stuck in the backup.

they were calling for a couple of flatbeds. right now it's jammed to geary and the delays continue to grow as long as lanes are blocked. westbound 580 sluggish out of the altamont pass the usual stuff. there is still some overnight roadwork in lanes eastbound 580 so it is going against the commute. that is not causing much of a problem. bart systemwide on time. last check, we have 44 trains all running on time. bart, muni, caltrain and ace all on time. let's take you outside show you a couple of live traffic cameras. our cash lanes improved. we were seeing a good sized backup in those far left cash lanes earlier. it was backing up towards the end of the parking lot. that's no longer the case. so all lanes are pretty much free and clear and no metering lights yet heading into san francisco. and a quick look at the nimitz if you are in oakland, here's a live look near the oakland coliseum. these taillights that is southbound traffic heading past

oakland airport. but northbound is moving at the limit. 15 minutes or so in the northbound lanes between 238 and the macarthur maze. that is your latest "timesaver traffic." the battle over filibusters in the u.s. senate is on hold at least for now. democrats and republicans reached a truce yesterday. republicans agree to move forward with president obama's nominees to various administration roles in exchange majority leader harry reid agreeing not to change filibuster rules that have allowed republicans to block votes on those nominees. and the house is expected to vote today to delay parts of president obama's healthcare reform program. the republican majority wants to postpone two key mandates, one that requires americans to purchase insurance, and one that requires employers to offer insurance to full-time workers. some critics are concerned businesses will cut employee hours to avoid paying health insurance. >> this is undermining the fundamentals of a 40 hour workweek in the united states.

>> the white house has already announced a one-year delay on the employer mandate to give companies more time to "adjust." it sounds like a hollywood plot. a man wakes up in a hotel room no memory of who he is or where he came interest and he only speaks swedish. juliette goodrich tells us it's a true story. >> reporter: four months ago, police found this navy veteran unconscious in a motel 6 in palm springs. on him, a u.s. passport and his veterans id, identifying him as michael boatwright. but when he woke up in the emergency room, he had never heard that name. he said his name was johan x and he spoke only swedish according to in interview with the desert sun newspaper. he couldn't explain why he had five tennis raquets in his luggage or who the woman was in this photo found with him. his whole past a blank. a hospital social worker helped boatwright set up this facebook

page. she covered he had lived in sweden in the 1980s and ran a consulting company. he lived in china, too, teaching english. on the school website was this photo and boatwright's own essay revealing he was married to a japanese woman and had a 12-year-old son. so why was he is in southern california? he told cnn the clues suggest he is a tennis coach. he had arrived during tennis tournament season. his diagnosis, boatwright is in what is called a fugue state, brought on by trauma. >> stressful events, life changing events, family death or loved one's death, recent travel or major accident. >> could be a movie. that was juliette goodrich reporting. the newspaper says it tracked down his sister who lives in louisiana. she said she hadn't seen her brother in 10 years and the family had no idea where he was. wow. >> so strange, right?

months pregnant. he already had a human shape and babyface. i wondo how i would have felt if i -- i wonder how i would have felt if i saw him earlier in the pregnancy. >> you can do it after they come out, too. >> just saying. >> you get it before. >> you will find out eventually normally a weiner dog would be lunch for a lion but at an oklahoma zoo they are best friends. you have to see it to believe it. milo cleaning bone digger's teeth. are you kidding me? the lion was raised at the park manager's home where milo lives with a few friends. they all grew up together. sometimes you will see the mighty lion running away from the weiner dogs while they are playing. sounds like a disney show. >> it does. but yeah, they seem to love each other. >> look at that. friendly. until he gets hungry. coming up, the split second
