island by yourself and the insurance company is waiving bye-bye to them. >> reporter: this state the state weekend insurance commission vows to help homeowners if they're struggling with their claims. some are hoping that the city or the county will offer funding to help close that gap. now meantime, many families are left waiting through the damage on their own. you have be careful if you're in this situation. coming up in the next half hour, how predators are trying to take advantage of the situation. megan gilliland, fox 45 morning news? should baltimore city and baltimore county help pay for damages for friday's watermain break? we want to toe what you think. we will open up the phone lines. you can send us a tweet at fox baltimore. police say a victim walked in front of a moving car in dundalk around 4:00 this morning. police say it was not a

year later? >> it's still awaiting trial. there's been a lot of wrangling at how the police obtained the dna evidence. there's been a lot of questions about that. >> and what are some of the other questions that the family has in particular? >> a lot of questions are more personal. his mother wants to talk to the woman who was in the car with him the night that he was murdered, simply to know what happened the last minute. then there is a question his mother raised that she was not allowed to view the body at the medical examiner's office. that raised questions about the investigation, what happened in the last moments of his life? what really occurred? >> what do we know about the woman that was in the car? that has been the subject of a lot of speculation, why haven't we heard who that is or more about it. it seems like she would be an intricate part of the investigation because she was there? >> technically she is a woman. >> protect that. >> once a case goes forward, if she is called, then she will be,

you know, and her name will be public. think that is the one of the questions. why can't the immediate family know who she is. sylvia harris wants to know -- and talk to her. i want to know what happened to my child. i brought him into this world. i want to know what his lasts moment were like? >> three people were under arrest, so they have the folks. >> i think they're happy about the arrest, but they're worried because there's so many questions about the dna evidence. the dna was obtained from a different case, a murdered that occurred about a year ago in the same neighborhood. they're a little concerned about that. there was a bullet found three months before, so there was a robbery that occurred three months before. maybe more could have been done to prevent that. maybe this wouldn't have happened. >> stephen janice, we will continue to follow it. to learn more about this story go to foxbaltimore.com and click on investigative voice. how do you spell perfect.

ra ravens. predator alert for the victims of the

goodorning, everybody. here is your first look at sports. you know, for years the ravens have the same profile, strong defense, and so, so offense. but as bob dillon wrote, the times are changing. yesterday he jo joe flacco lit e scoreboard. in the end, they didn't do enough. first quarter, no score. phillip rivers find darren sprowlz out at the left field.

he has nothing but green grass in front of him. he takes it 81 yards for the touch down, chargers strike first. they lead at 7-0. but the ravens respond on second and goal. willis mcgahee, goes up and the end zone. 5-yard touch down, run, game tied at 7. second quarter, ravens trail at second quarter. a catch near the side line. rice picks up 50 yards in the first down. that is an nfl play. later in the drive. mcgahee gets to carry again. again, he catches in, this time the 3-yard touch down. the ravens have the lead at 13-7. flacco takes the hand off, fakes the green screen and finds a wide open. the 27-yard score, flushing gets the first touch down in the raven uniform and you know he has got to do some dancing for

that. the ravens took a 21-16 lead. rivers under for ray lewis puts it out in a flap. laterals to ed reid picks up 9 extra yards. the ravens force to take over puts the offense in great scoring condition. in the ensuing drive for baltimore. flacco out of the shotgun, steps up, finds todd heap, lunges along the goal line for the yard touch down. san diego answers, 3rd and 18, rivers goes down in the deep middle of the field into triple coverage. somewhat johnson comes down with it. chargers trail, 28-23. chargers down, and rivers has the pass, tip in the air by dominique, fox worth. and the ravens led 31-26. next san diego, possession on first down, rivers going deep

for jackson, and again, he beats the big play. rivers an amazing 436-yard passing on the day. 37 seconds left. 4-2, san diego, ravens 15. hand off the sprawl, ray lewis, stopped him for the big loss. the face for the franchise seals the win over the chargers as the ravens start the season as 2-he 0. >> they got off to a quick start. we came right back and answered and then it was kind of back and forth all game long. but, you know, we're able to play the field position game and have a few big drivers that i think determined outcome. >> we did the things that we wanted to do. we will put points on the board but we came away with some points and the defense stopped them when they needed to. you know we came up with 3. joe flacco completed 17 of

the 26 passes. and including two touchdowns. ray lewis had the two tackles. phillip rivers as we mentioned 422 yards, two touchdowns, and the ravens begin divisional play this coming sunday when they host the browns at m&t stadium. that is your morning sports. i'm brewin bruce cunningham. we want to he remind you that we are looking for you ravens fans to send us photos showing off your purple pride. send us the photos or video to you are watching fox 45 morning news, all local alfoxbaltimore.. is she or is she not? the on and off again

about 100 homes were flooded, badly, even more damage. the weekend was not for rest. of course, it was for cleaning up instead. the red cross helped out a lot in that serving thousands of meals and helping out with cleanup supplies. power was reto most o -- restoro most of the homes, but we hear only a there's only a handful left yet because the electric not being turned on because of the damage to be fixed. many of knees in the neighbor are doubtful -- of neighbors are doubtful on how fast they could recover. >> it could be months. >> reporter: a large portion of the highway is shutdown as crews begin the process of repairing it. they will have to use the dundalk marine a turn off, to get there, they will have to use interstate 95 to get off to keith avenue. people are thinking how long it

will take? the road could take 3-4 weeks to open up again. around here, much longer. i talked to a guy who fell down in the mud when he was trying to get back to their home. people are frustrated. they want to know where their public officials are. they were not out here walking the streets on the weekend. they want more answers. the question is how fast will they be able to clean up once the answers come in. we're live in dundalk, joel d smith, fox 45 morning news. for homeowners who want to get to work on their damaged homes, the question is who is going to pay for it? some families are learning that their insurance policies do not cover the damage. most homeowners don't have insurance and most the policies do not cover flood damage. should baltimore city help to pay for water damage from the watermain break? that is the question of the day.

available to assist homeowners with repairs, but many people are quickly learning that the insurance policy doesn't cover this kind of damage. who should pay? some are hoping the county and the city should pay and come up with the funding. of course, that hasn't happened yet. we want you to send us the images of watermain break. one viewer sent us the video from dundalk. you can see the force of the water gushing from that break. if you have photos or videos of the watermain break send them to us at foxbaltimore.co pics at f. zena peer droppe apiere wast of the mayoral race. the central committee said she did not formally withdraw her

president obama took advantage of his five television interviews on sunday to discuss healthcare reform plans and to make clear he had turned the page on the foreign policy of george w. bush's admnistration. he inherited an unspoke and failing plan in afganistan and missile defense and is now taking a fresh approach. he defended the justice department decision to investigate tactics used by cia agents inspite of the letter sent to him by 7cia directors calling for an end to the probe. he added no one is above the law. through the government they spent $4 billion a week. and for the first two weeks of september, it's back down to less than $4 billion. in a rush to meet president obama's goal of using $225 billion of stimulus money in the first 200 days. critics say the money is being spent on a roller coaster pace.

the white house says they're meeting the goals and said while it varies from week to week, the progress is steady and the program is ahead of schedule. they're angry they have time on their hands and many of them are newly making their voices heard as the healthcare reform heated up this summer. older americans have taken to the front lines writing letters and attending town halls and the majority are opposed to the congress' health reform program. while seniors voters were equally split in the presidential election. more are shifting toward the republican party in recent months. seniors who usually have more free time on their hands than their children and grandchildren tend to vote in full force in mid-term elections which could pose a program for president obama in the next election. read those stories by clicking on washington times. still ahead, gentlemen start
