maybe they'll stay for now not saying something and come forward. our hope is to get justice for robyn. reporter: the natalee holloway resource center in downtown d.c. is weighing in on the release. >> her family really don't get that piece until they know what happened to their missing loved one. so what beth halloway is still going through never having a closed case, this is no week. reporter: last week an aruban judge decided it was time to let giordano go. an appeals hearing for wednesday morning could overturn that decision, but this caribbean legal expert says don't count on it. >> that examining judge having listened to four months to what the prosecution had to offer and the threshold not met, it was time. >> there are several reports that giordano is taking a 9:50 flight out of aruba tomorrow morning. the appeals hearing is set for

11 a.m. if the panel decided to lock him up, he'd be long gone. extra decision is possible, but it could take weeks of legal maneuvering. >> now that he's out could giordano actually collect on that $1.5 million insurance policy he took out on gardner? >> sure. we asked several attorneys. they believe the insurance company, american express, won't pay based on the suspicions and ongoing investigations and keep this in mind. if giordano sues for the money, he'd be asked to give depositions and possibly neff court. experts say it's very dangerous -- testify in court. experts say it's very dangerous because he could say something that could hurt him in the criminal investigations and there's no statute of limitations for murder. a man wanted for murder who was accidentally released from jail is behind bars tonight. frederick scott turned himself in. prince george's county police say he was mistakenly released on bond due to a clerical error. he is charged in the smooting death of phillip watson in march -- shooting death of phillip watson in march.

five years agent d.c. fire and ems department kinder fire after a parent died in its -- came under fire after a patient died in its care. this time the issue whether a paramedic ignored standard protocols or simply made a bad decision in assessing the condition of an 87-year-old woman. reporter: since the fire department is not releasing the facts in the allegation, the patient's name and address and medical condition is much we don't know. however, this much is clear. the 87-year-old woman was transported to howard university hospital and died after seeing a doctor. would it have made a difference if the paramedic had ridden to the hospital with the patient in the ambulance and, if not, did he go against protocols of the fire department's medical staff? >> there are some concerns regarding this incident and that's why we placed the employee on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. reporter: chief ellerbe says

his medical director has completed one phase of the investigation and recommended officials probe the matter further. >> so can we take from that your medical director believed something went wrong? >> no, we can't take that from what i just said. what i'll say, an investigation ensued based on recommendation from the medical director. now how that investigation turns out is -- that's just going to be based on the facts. reporter: the fire and ems department has been operating under a new set of rules after the d.c. inspector general's office cited an unacceptable chain of failure by firefighters, paramedics, police officers and hospital personnel in the january, 2006 treatment of david rosenbaum, a new york times journalist who was assaulted near his northwest home during a robbery and later died. after the family filed a lawsuit the city agreed to put in place new protocols that would ensure the best care for people who called 911 for help. paul wagner, fox 5 news. >> the rosenbaum family agreed

no one was hurt. fox 5 is monitoring metro's budget problems. the preliminary report forecast a gap of nearly $125 million next year and the timing could not be worse. overall ridership is down and not expected to get better any time soon. fox 5's sherri ly has the latest. reporter: what this all boils down to is what metro wants and what it has the money to do. right now metro would like to increase the number of police for security, improve its escalator maintenance and add more workers to reduce the number of double shifts and worker fatigue, but all that comes at a steep cost. metro's ridership and revenue has dropped since 2009 and with the district's high unemployment and slow economic recovery that is not expected to help. the transit agency is also facing a huge surge in the cost of employee benefits and pensions and must prepare for the opening of the dulles rail extension. factor all this in and metro could be looking at a huge hole

in its budget. labor, health and pension benefit are expected to increase starting next june by $66 million. preparing for the dulles rail, another 20 million that is before the silver line even opens. initiatives to hire more police, security, escalator maintenance and increasing bus service on priority routes would cost another 35 million, plus metro forecasts a 3 million drop in revenue and that adds up to a gap of $124 million. now to close that gap metro could look at asking workers to contribute to their pensions and benefits. that's something they don't do now. virginia, maryland and the district could also increase their subsidies or they could look at restructuring fares. this is just a preliminary budget that is going to be presented to the finance committee on thursday. general manager richard sarles will propose his budget in january and the rest is up to the board. remember fox 5 is monitoring metro for you.

be looked at. >> whenever you have these discretionary arrests we have to be sure, i think, that the offense merits that kind of an action. reporter: another issue discussed, should police have the authority to impound a car if the tag is expired? currently they do. >> that can be very costly for motorists. there's a $200 fine and then there's a storage time. reporter: police defend its impound policy saying it gives them the authority to remove unsafe vehicles from the street. >> it's not our goal to just arbitrarily pull vehicles off the street. it's something they're using their discretion for. the reason we need that discretion is we obviously got a responsibility to keep dangerous vehicles off the street. reporter: matt ackland, fox 5 news. >> d.c. police say they won't arrest a driver if their taxes are expired 30 days or less. after that they will consider impounding the car. tonight on the news edge a call for change following a violent newt in dupont circle

they've gotten across indiana and the lower peninsula of michigan. i've seen reports up to 8 inches of snow. it's very heavy and wet. thief got trees and lines down, a lot of power outages tonight. here's the rain going by our area. we watched this last little piece of energy that's producing a little snow up in the appalachians, but once this whole system gets north of us then we'll pull in cold enough air maybe we'll start getting more of that upslope snow on the order of an inch or 2, maybe 3 for our own mountains. radar tonight not finding more rain left in the region. it was a pretty decent soaking we got, just a couple sprinkles out through western maryland, cumberland maybe seeing a little and west of hagerstown, but nothing of significance we'll see tonight. here's a look at the next three days. tomorrow back to brighter skies, although there will be some clouds as well, temperature 52 degrees and there will be a chilly breeze kicking in tomorrow. it will take that 52 and make it feel colder. again some clouds will build
