facility. we're following another big story this morning. oakland police investigating a triple homicide. >> it unfolded shortly after midnight at 92nd avenue and san leandro street. >> federal authorities are also there, we understand. >> reporter: yeah. we have learned more about why federal investigators and federal equipment are here at the scene of the triple homicide and arson investigation. they simply have forensic evidence gather resources that oakland does not have. police are now confirming what my source has been telling me all morning long. that three people are dead. one person in custody. now, police say that officers were called to the 9400 block of zu nba r on reports of shots fired. when they arrived, one victim was found in the street and smoke coming from a garage. they found two more victims. at least one of the victims was female. we have learned that one person is being held in connection with this case. police are not saying why they

suspect this person or if it is a male or female. they say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with this case. >> no one is in danger at this point. there is just the investigation ongoing. we're just investigating all aspects of the crime right now. >> reporter: now, extensive investigation currently underway. the crime scene itself is extensive. they will be out here for several hours. possibly early afternoon. we're hearing that investigators could be on scene here until as late as 2:00 in the afternoon, trying to get to the bottom of this and trying to find out exactly what the narrative is here, how this triple homicide happened. how the fire is connected to it. and how the individual they're questioning is connected to the three deaths. >> thank you. earlier this morning, president-elect donald trump tweeted about what he will be doing today. he says busy day planned in new york. we will soon be making important decisions on the people who will be running our government. >> and this follows trump's meeting at the white house with

president obama. trump also met with house speaker paul ryan and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. there is a huge job ahead for the trump administration trying to fill the jobs over the next two months. his campaign staff says they are hard at work going through all of the resumes. >> this is donald trump's presidency and his cabinet and senior team to name. the major criteria will be loyal tee to him. >> trump is still defying convention, angering the media by refusing reporters to follow him washington. >> officials say there is no reason to vandalize and destroy other people's problems. >> alex savidge is joining us live from oakland as clean-up crews clean up the mess after a third straight night of violence. >> reporter: yeah. and a lot of cleanup to do in oakland and the uptown area. we are here this morning out of ted jacob engineering firm

right at broadway and 19th. we have been watching here as work crews have just finished repairing a couple of the front windows smashed out during the last few nights of anti-trump demonstrations. you are the chief financial officer here with this firm. good morning to you. >> good morning, g. morning. >> reporter: a frustrating situation i know for businesses in the oakland area. where is your head at with all of this this morning. >> we're frustrated too. people have the right to demonstrate and protest. but to damage properties of businesses, that's not the right thing to do. it doesn't reflect well on those -- on those protesting for their cause and on the city itself. the city of oakland has been trying to uplift its image the last few years. there's a lot of new tenants coming in, a lot of new people coming in starting businesses here. we have been here over 25 years. we have never had this happen to us. it's always been the downtown,

around 12th street where the civic center is, where city hall is. unfortunately this time they could not control the crowds who were protesting. >> and police pointed out that you had an overwhelming majority of the people demonstrating last night were doing so peacefully, to voice their displeasure with the election results. you have a small group who broke away from the crowd and caused trouble and that's when you had businesses like yours that were vandalized here. what is your hope? do you hope that the city, the police department will be more proactive the next time there is a protest in terms of protecting property like yours. >> yes. i don't think they took the proper measures the first time. they thought they would be okay. like they normally do. but it looks like they brought more help, i heard, from the police department. they are submitting a claim. they have like seven agencies helping them out to control this, the new

events if they come up. they are doing a good job. the uptown people are cleaning up. we will repair the damage. we will be here. we will stay here. >> that's what we're hearing from a lot of business owners in oakland. three straight nights of demonstrations. business owners growing tired with having to clean up smashed windows. we have seen a lot of that the past few nights. but the business owners say they are part of this community. in fact we have seen a lot of business owners taking steps to try to show they stand in solidarity with the protesters, putting signs up in their windows and that sort of thing. >> thank you, alex savidge. as these protests continue following the election, many young people are speaking up about the results and what a trump presidency might mean. >> so how much should you actually tell them and how do you handle what they are hearing at school? >> for help with this, we are joined by amy grath, thank you for joining us, amy. i have very young children. six and a half and eight.

my six-year-old is coming home are questions such as is president trump going to send so-and-so parents away because they weren't born in this country. really heavy theme, especially for young children. how do i answer that. >> there are three main things that parents need to be talking to their kids about right now. one is just emphasizing that you are going to be okay. you are safe. you are protected in our family, at your school, in your community. the second thing that needs to be emphasized is that even though president-elect donald trump on the campaign trail, you know, expressed certain values that we as our family we have our own value system. we respect others. we see everyone as equal. we stand by blacks, muslims, mexicans, same sex parents. >> yes. >> that we respect others. >> is it important to explain and it depends how old your children are, about what

democracy is. it's not always roses and maybe our country is not based on just one particular person and never has been. we have a system here. do you dive into it that deep or not even go there. depending on the age. >> absolutely. i think that we need to say that we honor the results of this election even if they are hard for us to accept. and i really like the point that you made. because i think right now we need to be talking to our kids about putting ourselves in another person's shoes. the other night, seth myers on his show made this brilliant point where he said that i know so many of you feel really frustrated but you need to think about the trump supporters and how frustrated they felt because they were frustrated but our economy. they were feeling left behind socially. and trying to understand. and the way that plays out, you know, with your kids is when they come home and they say so- and-so is mean to me, you show empathy and you say that must have felt horrible. but you ask them, why do you think that person was mean to

you? is it because -- >> as parents we need to gather our own emotions before we have this conversation. i found that myself the last couple of days. i need to gather my own thoughts with my wife. >> our country has become so politically polarized. you used to disagree about politics but that person would not be your enemy. if the country is going to change, it may be up to the younger generation so say i don't agree with you about this but you can peacefully and civilly agree. >> yes. engaging in respectful debate is important. that they have a voice and this is america. and we have freedom of speech. it is amazing. that's why we're seeing so many of the kids walking out of school and protesting. >> right. but back to what mike was saying about gathering your own thoughts and emotions before presenting to their children. i have heard from so many parents who said i hugged my children and i cried.

>> yes. that's okay. >> right. and so i struggle with trying to mask what you are feeling because kids can pick up on that stuff. is it okay to say, mommy isn't happy either. daddy is frustrated too. or do we try to present that front? >> i think it's okay to cry in front of your children but then you need to pull yourself together and move on. i'm finding right now that it is helping just doing fun things with my kids. we watched the warriors game last night. it felt so good. >> a nice win. >> yes. yes. yesterday after school rather than going directly home we stopped at the bakery and got croissants. tonight we're having dinner with another family and usually the kids play mine craft and the parents talk but we're going to play a game together. >> letting them be kids. >> showing them that we're okay. >> the family is still here. mommy's job is still here. our house is still here. >> i don't have teenagers yet. they're three and six. but there is video that we have

seen on the playground there have been fights. >> attacks. >> yes. >> at the school yard. >> yes. >> about this particular election. and so as a parent of someone who -- maybe a child who saw that fight and comes home and says this person and this person were swinging about this, what would you tell those parents? >> and it goes back to judge university because you disagree with someone, they shouldn't be your mortal enemy. >> yes. yes. we need to respect others who have a different viewpoint. and that fighting isn't the answer. hopefully, you know, schools -- i found with my older kids that they're starting to engage in debates. and hopefully schools can encourage that and host debates for kids so they can express their views. >> i thought hillary clinton had a very great speech and was very gracious. it is important to talk about being a gracious winner and learn a lesson there. >> she said we are stronger together. i think that learning and teaching our kids how to come together right now is really

important. >> okay. mommy files. we will read about this and more in the chronicle. >> thank you. >> coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, on this veterans day, we are honoring our veterans in the bay area and across the country. up next, a ceremony with president obama at arlington national ceremony. we go live to some of the events happening here at home. and we at ktvu are honoring some of the veterans in our lives. this is allie rasmus' grandpa jack. he was a world war ii marine corps development he passed away earlier today. thank you to all of the veterans out there for your service. ♪[music]

>> on segment 2 this morning, notorious case that put scott peterson on death row. >> you remember his wife and unborn child were killed just before christmas in 2002. >> ken roland interviewed scott peterson before his arrest. now he has questions about the evidence used to convict him.

>> find the defendant scott peterson guilty. >> when scott peterson was found guilty of double murder and sentenced to death 13 years ago, his family began the long process of trying to get a new trial. his mother passed away three years ago but the rest family and legal team continue to fight for his freedom. >> our goal is justice for lacy and connor. we have an unsolved crime. everybody think it's solved. it's not solved. >> my daughter has been missing since this morning. she is 8 months pregnant. >> lacy was 8 months pregnant when she disappeared on christmas eve 2002. police would spend the first hour searching for her near their home. the story touched people around the world. hundreds of volunteers helped search for the mother to be they didn't know but had fallen in love with. >> we want her to come home.

>> after initial searches turned up nothing, fear set in. lacy's family boulevard she had been kidnapped while walking the dog. >> please bring our daughter home. >> police on the other hand focused on scott, in part because of the way he was acting the night lacy was reported missing. >> when did you realize that you were going to go fishing. >> it was a morning decision. >> while investigators searched the home and seemed to be focused on scott, lacy's family came to his defense. >> we love scott. he loves lacy. they love each other. >> there's no evidence whatsoever that would point to him. they are way off base in assuming that. >> but a few weeks later, everything would change. peterson it turned out had a girlfriend named amber frye. >> scott told me he was not married. we did have a romantic relationship. >> before going public, amber frye worked with police, recording more than 12 hours of

phone conversations with scott peterson. >> on new year's eve, just before a vigil for lacy, scott was on the phone with amber, pretending he was in paris. >> i'm in the eiffel tower. >> the tapes would prove pivotal at trial. >> he wasn't in paris. he was very casually speaking to his lover on a phone while they're looking for his wife. >> it took jurors eight days to reach a guilty verdict. >> justice was served. >> i wouldn't be surprised if scott's conviction was not overturned. >> the main reason is that there was never any forensic reason tying scott to the murders. >> there's no dna or blood evidence or murder weapon. there's nothing that ties scott to the crime. >> the night before she disappeared, lacy talked with

her mother by phone at 8:30. prosecutors believe she and her baby were killed sometime later that night or the next morning. they believe scott then transported her body in the back of this pickup truck to his warehouse where he had an office and storage shed. they believe he moved lacy's body into this 14-foot fishing boat that he drove to the berkeley marina to dump his wife and son in the san francisco bay. but even prosecutors admit they're not exactly sure how he did it. >> i have never seen a case where the prosecutor couldn't prove how it happened, where it happened or when it happened. >> he does not have time to do what he is convicted of doing. >> reporter: the evidence shows at 8:40, when he she was reporting missing. something was shopping online. lacy had a sun flower tattoo on her ankle. then at 8:30, scott logged o on to the warehouse computer sending an e-mail greeting to his boss and looking up how to

assemble a woodworking tool he had recently purchased. >> at the time according to the state scott has killed his wife and she is in the truck outside on a public street. and he is inside on the internet looking about how to build a woodworking school and sending holiday greetings. that's a psychopath. >> people who think that scott is a psychopath that is taking and you the rest of the family for a distorted ride by not admitting guilt but he is guilty, what do you say to that? >> i guess i would -- i would circle back and ask him what piece of evidence makes you think that he's guilty. and be specific. >> reporter: the most damming evidence is that the fact that lacy and connor's bodies washed up where scott said he was fishing. >> that is the probable cause that got him arrested. that is not sufficient when his alibi was so widely publicized

immediately. >> it is incriminating. everybody in the world knew where scott was. whoever killed lacy knew where to put her. >> reporter: scott's attorney believes he was convicted because of his affair with amber and the audio recordings played for the jury. >> how did you grapple with that, not knowing how he did it. >> i don't know how he did it but he did it. >> a it typical soft kill, strangulation or smothering in the home. >> wouldn't that leave evidence? >> no. no. >> the fact that nobody can tell you exactly how he did it is not nearly as important as the fact that they can tell you that based on all of the evidence and testimony that he did do it. >> reporter: the peterson case is now the subject of three new documentaries. >> there was a witness who said that he had observed a pregnant woman being put into a van. >> reporter: two are still in production. the third entitled trial by fury is expected for release next year. >> if you think that scott should be released, if you

think that scott peterson is innocent, you're wrong. he should not be released. and he is not innocent. >> he is very adamant there as was scott's sister saying this one is not solved. ted roland is joining us in the studio now. since his conviction and sentencing, have you reached out to him in letterform and tried to sit down with him and talk? >> right afterwards i wrote like every other journalist wrote him a letter. over the last few months, i've been communicating with his family and checking in with them in preparation for this story. and there is some willingness to talk. it didn't work out at this point but it looks like he will be participating in a documentary that will -- making of a murderer, track the appeals process. keep in mind voters have just changed the rules to expedite the death penalty in the state of california. that will also play into this documentary as they try to get him a new trial. >> can you talk about -- because i was here and you were

here. we were both working here at the time. and i remember what it was like in the news room. i remember the intense interest. someone who wasn't here, can you kind of go through how we were hanging on every single -- it was so intense. >> i have covered o.j. simpson, michael jackson and a ton of celebrity trials. i was working at cnn and scott peterson blows them out of the water because of the interest, the time that she was missing. the day before christmas. people really had this empathy for this missing woman. they fell in love with her. when he emerged, they hated him. amber, they couldn't get enough. by the time the trial started people around the world were glued at it. >> we're looking at video from your interview with peterson before his arrest. how do you think the case affected further criminal cases and criminal trials? it always seems ridiculous that

my lawyer would allow me to talk to you if i might later be on the hook for something terrible. >> yeah. it's a case by case basis. in this case, they had the interviews with scott and they played them at trial. he did not take the stand. but it was an example of, yeah, if you're accused of something or if people think you're guilty, don't talk to the media. it will come back to haunt you. he did a handful of interviews and the jury saw them and the jury watched them and thought he is lying. he is lying. and it did help in his conviction, i'm sure. >> now he is on death row sat san quentin. >> yeah. >> his family, you wonder, was there any doubt ever? and they say absolutely not. they have religiously traveled from san diego to san quentin every other week. they take turns visiting him. they're convinced that he is innocent. we will see what happens with

the appeal. >> thank you, ted. >> thanks, ted. we here at ktvu are honoring the veterans is in our line. this is the father of one of our photographers martin. he passed away in 2003. he served in the air force. thank you to all of the veterans out there who served. ♪[music] so i got your test results an allergy to cat dander.w there are options, but the most effective course of action would be to remove the source of the allergens. he's got a name. it's herbert. as long as you live with herbert, you're going to have the respiratory symptoms. and i'll have the joy that only a kitty cat can bring. okay, well there are some things we can do to minimize the impact. allergy shots, a nasal steroid... does that sound doable?
